A Visitor

As Grumbleshanks investigated the other room attached to the meeting room where they'd been eating and Gurkirat played, a man walked out from a room across the hall, saluted the men, and walked very quietly into the door of the meeting room, where he stood in the doorway quietly observing the two small adventurers.

He remains motionless, completely unnoticed by the two in the room until Darvin and Talathel return from the restroom, arguing again about the distinction between elves and half-elves.

Talathel's voice floats up, "That's what I was saying before..." There is a sudden silence as Darvin notices the man standing in the doorway and throws an arm out, stopping Talathel.

The man didn't seem to notice Darvin and Talathel, so they studied him for several long moments, sizing him up a bit before they alerted him to their presence. The man was of a medium build, about 5 ft., 7 in. tall, with crisply fashioned hair and a waxed mustache that both looked as if they could withstand anything, including a tsunami. The man was wearing a suit of dark grey, almost black leather armor, and Darvin thought he saw the hilt of a dagger sticking out of the top of the man's boot.
