imp horned guard guardian~
a guardian imp~
A horned imp is crouched nearby, unfolding its wings.
~
   This is the familiar of the Archmage of the town, at present an ill- meaning
sort of ruler.  It is charged with the worthy task of defending the guild from
unwelcome intruders.  Its wickedly curving horns and innocuous teeth attest to
its ability to....  Well, dispose of you.

the Lord of the Black Watch~
The Lord of the Black Watch keeps the peace as he sips a scotch.
~
   The captain of the Black Watch, the well-known anti-rogue force of

mage blind man~
an old blind mage~
A blind mage is sitting here, communing with nature.
~
   His blank eyes, the color long lost, leave the broad sky and seem to stare
right through you.  His sanity, also long lost, might have made him a fine

Something makes an eel-like motion under the water.
~
   A giant leechlike movement under the water marks the outline of a lamprey,
skin wet and oil-black.  The row of teeth that gapes for an instant above the
waterline gives a hint of its hunger for prey in this deserted place.

a disgruntled courier~
A disgruntled courier awaits your bidding.
~
   The grey and strained eyes of the courier look at you with ill-concealed
lack of interest.  The scars on his face are an indication that he has seen
foul weather of all sorts on the roads, and nothing you could request would
surprise him.
