Upon receiving the message from Ann, I immediately set out for the Pub. Upon arrival, i was delighted to see Miacus, recently returned from his quest, and offered Congratulations.

His attitude was less than coridal though; and there was an immediate clash of personalities. The drow, Miacus, seemed to take great delight in making marginally acceptable comments, which he often phrased as challenges and/or threats. It was necessary on more than one occasion to ask Ann to stand by and take no actions against him.

*This one needs watching, Ann," I said, "I shall entrust that to you."
She readily accepted the task, and i am certain will do an excellent job.

Due to the absence of Maddux and Eowyna, I assumed the authority of management of the enclave, and would gladly have shared that with the Warlord had he been available... but alas, he was not. So things became quite tense when the Drow informed me that i had no authority over him. Perhaps the chain of command needs to be made clear in case of future conflicts. I tried to be careful in phrasing my conversation with him, and it was truly a challenge. He appeared to thirst for conflict.

Miacus said there were actually four renegade black riders, not the two or three that we had suspected, and that his Goddess wished to take vengence upon them. He has a Drow friend that he is contacting who may be able to assist him, perhaps shed a bit more light on the situation.

Miacus immediately sent the spirit of his raven to another, a drow, he said, who would be able to assist him. He would not reveal thename of his friend in order that i would not gain control of him. Little does he realize that i have no ambition to control anyone. 'Tis not my style.

We wait now for word....... we have a black rider amongst us, his Goddess awarded him this rank.

and Eowyan and Maddux? No word from either this day.
