	Reluctantly the marines follow as you descend the 
Š	stairs. The moment you set foot in the taproom you 
Š	are surrounded by armed guards and made to hand over 
Š	your weapons (delete all normal weapons from your 
Š	ιAction Chartι; you need not delete your Kai Weapon 
Š	which you keep hidden beneath your cloak). Once you 
Š	and your companions have been disarmed, you are 
Š	herded towards the counter to join more than two 
Š	dozen others who are of foreign nationality. The 
Š	officer in charge of the armed guards then strides to 
Š	the middle of the taproom floor and proceeds to 
Š	inform you in an imperious tone that you are to be 
Š	taken to the Funtal's castle where your trading 
Š	papers and travel documents will be scrutinized. The 
Š	others, who all appear to be traders and merchants, 
Š	are outraged when they hear this decree. They protest 
Š	loudly and many refuse to leave the tavern. They say 
Š	that it is all just a cynical ploy by the Funtal to 
Š	confiscate their cargoes.
	
	Kol appears by your side and he whispers to you to 
Š	follow him. As the Funtal's guards move in and 
Š	grapple with the angry merchants, you and the marines 
Š	slip away with Kol and hide in the cellar below the 
Š	tavern's kitchen. An hour later, as dawn is breaking, 
Š	the tavern falls silent and you emerge from your 
Š	hiding place to discover that it is now completely 
Š	empty.
