Shang Griffin

"It wasn't me!" screamed the man in the Shang outfit.

"Who else could it of been? You're the only Shang
Griffin." Marik stated. "And we have witnesses who saw
the Griffin patch on the arm of the attacker."

"How am I to know? I wasn't there! I was on the road,
on my way to Scanra! It wasn't me!"

After the Shang Griffin finished speaking, the man
behind the desk in the front of the room stood up.
"I am ready to make a decision now. Red, the Shang
Griffin, I revoke you title of Shang Griffin. From this
day forth you are know as Red and no other. This court
is adjorned." With that the Shang Master turned and
left the room.


Later that night Red was in a little tavern that he
found after his trial, called the Dancing Dove.

"What am I to do? I've lost my title. All my life's
work gone." At this point Red made several attempts to
snap his fingers before he gave up "Like that."

The bartender walked over to Red and asked, "Can I get
you anything else?"

Red looked up and said "I'll have another one of
these," and pointed to his glass. Then started to
point to another person's glass and added, "one of
those, a couple of those and..."

The bartender cut off Red in mid-sentence and said,
"I'll just get you some water." When he came back with
the water and asked red. "What's your story?"

Red looked up and began to tell his story. "About
three weeks ago." Red held up two fingers, " I was on
my way to Scanra before I got to the border some Shang
came from behind me and knocked me out. Now don't get
thinking of me as week and helpless, I knocked out quite a
few of them, but each time I took one out another two came
in their place. Now the next thing I know I'm in front of a
Shang Judge and being tried for a crime I didn't
commit. They thought that I attacked the prince of
Galla with out having reason, he was in Tortall on a
visit to his friend the young king to be. Then just
today before I came here the judge took away my title,
Shang Griffin. What am I to do? All my life's work
gone all because of something I didn't do!"

"Now, don't worry. I have an idea. You be a good man for what
I have in mind. Can you come back here tomorr'a? I know a man
that might just have a use for you. Come by to'morning and you
can meet him, now go to bed and get a good night's rest."

As Red was leaving he saw the bartender walk over to a
man at the head of a very long table, then the bartender
turned and pointed at Red as he left the tavern.
