	You give Melchar your blanket to cover his 
Š	embarrassment and then you follow him through the 
Š	alleyways of the east quarter which lead all the way 
Š	back to ιThe Song of the Silver Starι tavern. The 
	young journeyman laughs with sheer relief at having 
Š	escaped from Wrok's henchmen when finally you enter 
Š	the sanctuary of the inn's crowded taproom. The 
Š	innkeeper asks Melchar if his happy mood is due to a 
Š	win at the derby. He replies that, thanks to your 
Š	advice, he did not bet. The only thing he lost was 
Š	his breeches and he proceeds to tell the innkeeper 
Š	how that came about. The innkeeper frowns:
	
	"Wrok's not a man to cross, y'know" he says, "he's 
Š	ruthless when it comes to getting even. I think you 
Š	two had better stay in the attic tonight. Wrok's sure 
Š	to send his lackeys out a-huntin' for you."

	You heed the innkeeper's warning and spend the night 
Š	hidden in his attic room. Before dawn breaks you slip 
Š	out of the tavern by a back door and say farewell to 
Š	Melchar in the street outside. 

	"Captain Leonghi's ship is moored down at the docks," 
Š	he says. "It's called ιEmbassageι. I wish you a swift 
Š	and safe journey to Nhang, Grand Master. I'll always 
Š	remember our little adventure at the Caeno Derby and 
Š	I hope we'll meet again one day when you return to 
Š	Sommerlund."
