	Over a delicious supper of fish roe and steamed 
Š	vegetables (restore 2 ENDURANCE points), you learn 
Š	that the old man's name is Yranai and that he is a 
Š	native of Hikas. He was on his way home from Bisutan 
Š	aboard his flying craft when it developed a 
Š	mechanical problem, and he was forced to make an 
Š	unscheduled landing in the hills just a few miles to 
Š	the north of this town. He is staying overnight at 
Š	the tavern while the Blacksmith repairs the convexor, 
Š	the device that accidentally snagged your cloak. When 
Š	you tell Yranai that you are bound for Elzian, he 
Š	offers to transport you there aboard éSimoomé - his 
Š	flying craft. To travel the last leg of your journey 
Š	to Elzian by air would save you many days, especially 
Š	as you have yet to cross the Great Masourn mountain 
Š	range. Gladly you accept Yranai's offer, and you 
Š	agree to meet him in the taproom at dawn so that he 
Š	can take you to the place in the hills where his 
Š	craft - éSimoomé - is grounded.
