Merrylan put his hand over his eyes.
"NoNoNoNoNoNo!" wailed Merrylan bursting into the room."You dont just ssay it like zat!"
He noticed what he'd done and tried to smile.
"Er...sorry ssir.." he said worryingly."Vhat happened you zee..vell..zeres zis business about ze box, and elves, and magical buildups and fluxuations...ve asked ze greatesst sinker in ze vorld-"
"Sinker? what's a sinker?"
"I think it's some sort of plumber-"
"AND it seems ze ansver to our prrrrroblems lies in-"
"So this lad's the greatest plumber in the world? i woudlnt mind meeting him i got a nasty clog in the drains wich makes the muck shoot straight up into th-"
"I SAID..." said Merrylan, irritated."Ze ansver lies in ze island kingdom of krrrrrull." he glared at the whispering watchmen."Ve vould like perrrrrmission to take a small group to ziss mysterious kingdom to find ziss out."
Vimes raised his eyebrows.
Togo groaned.

"We sort o' have ter go to Krull ter solve this problem,sah! And we're going ter do it,anyway!But we need some material support,sah! Could we get our payment fer a week at least?"
Orcakeline just stood and stared. Vimes approved everything after a lot of other useless ... small talk(he was wearing his old boots and he did seem shorter that day).
"Up,up and forwards!" yelled Corporal Orcakeline.
The party started marching towards the Ankh-Morpork gate,going along the River Ankh,past the Patrician's Palace and right past Nobby's place,but they stopped a few minutes at the Mended Drum.
Is it time I whistled Nobby out of his dreams? asked the dwarf herself.

"Well, that didn't go too bad.." said Togo, sipping his glass of milk.
"Could've been vorrse." agreed Merrylan."Does he usually give that expression to people?"
"Stoneface? Probably." muttered Tad, hiccuping.
Runt was under the table, licking a bowl of beer.
"So..what do we do now then?"

"Well,I was planing to recruit Nobby,but I think that's a bit too 's have another round and leave.
"Waiter!Another cup of milk,two beers,or make it thr- "
"Just two,waiter!" said a voice from behind the dwarf.
"Toooorney!How nice to see you!Please,sit down!"
"Look,Orcakeline,I just went away for four months and you already started drinking?"Orcakeline's friend covered his nose and looked around scarcely . "Now that's a stinker!" he said.
"Oh,it's Stoickeater!The bloody thing that came out of my washing-machine this morning.
"I didn't start drinking!I mean,I did,but just for a month or so.I at least had a reason!" said the dwarf.
"Well,give it up now,anyway!Get a grip on yourself already!It's been a month now,right?"
Orcakeline watched Torney in the eye. "The third beer was for Stoickeater because he stinks!"
"Uh-oh.." he said confused. "Wait a sec,who do you think you're kidding?"
"I guess you!Welcome back!"with that,Orcakeline took a strawberry juice,drank it in a second or less and got up.
"It's time we left for Krull! Would you care to join us,Torney?"

Dirkly wasn't ussually one for strong drinks, but he felt since he saw a sock monster earlier he needed a little something to snap him out of it
He felt he should learn more about this mysterious far away land they were visiting and with that he turned to Merrylan "So- You got any clue about this Krull place?"

Alice sat silently as everyone else seemed to be talking about Krull, a place she knew absolutely nothing about, other than they seemed to be going there
The waiter came over to her as he took everyone else's order, and smiled at her, causing her to blush and look down at her feet
"Oy, I bet I know wha' you wan', miss," he said, annoyingly cheerfully, "A pint of blood, right?"
Alice's stomach churned just thinking about the smell of blood
"N-no, thanks," she mumbled, "c-can I p-please j-just have a glass of w-water?" the waiter just shrugged and left, returning moments later, and placed the glass in front of Alice, she continued to sip her drink as the others went on with their conversations

"Hmm? Oh, yess..Krull..I vent sere on my trravels..ooh, must've been 60-70 years ago now.." Merrylan sighed."Ah, yes zey imprisoned me, zats right.. Ze place izz famed for enslaving shipwrecked sailors and vhatnot, soo ve'd better be on guard." He lit a small cigar.
Togo, sitting next to Alice, ventured a scowl at the barman. The Barman growled at Togo, and he leapt back, almost falling off his chair.
"I'm OK, I'm OK." said Togo, getting back up.
He ventured a smile at Alice.
"Er..who's your friend, Orcakeline?" said Togo, trying not to breath in the smoke of Merrylan's cigar.

nodded to Merrylan. He knew what he'd volunteered for. In fact this sounded like exactly what he'd hoped for- An adventure- like in books- It'd probably include dragons, great battles between good and evil, big piles of gold, and maybe a princes to rescue. Lance Corporal Fenuth smiled to himself.
He'd overheard a barman offer Alice blood, and he rose an eyebrow, For a native Morporkian, Dirkly was fairly naive- If that's the right word. More accurately he preferred to assume the best when the contrary option was uncomfortable.
"You here that? I can't blame'em for gettin' upset.. Pretty disgusting change of menu in my opinion. I mean never thought this place was all that sanitary but-" he went on to Merrylan, hoping for a pleasant nod.

Merrylan shook his head.
"Shut up lance constable." he said wearily.
"So..when do we leave?"
Togo looked up from his drink. He'd gone a big step, and switched goats milk for lemonade.
"Hmm? Oh, I s-suppose they'll rent us a ship or something, I guess we'll be leaving around about-..."
"What?" said Merrylan after a long pause.
"Oh..nothing." mumbled Togo. He was eyeing the shelf behing the barman. He wondered how long it'd be before anyone else noticed the small blue blur, trying to pick up several bottles at once.

"Daft Spike one at a time how many times have aye told ye one bottle at a time" Cathel pinched the brigde of his nose
"Cathel aye have an idea of how tae get tae Krull"
"mmm..."
"see that drunk salior, the one on thee floor, he owns a boat aye donnae think that he wontnae miss it at least for a while we could give me a bottle as pay"
Cathel pondered this "ok good idea, gae tell the others. We will eh deal with the sailor"
Cathel and the others jumped down and ran over to the sailor and carried him off
Wee Archie jumpped up in front of Togo and watched him fall off his chair "Togo and other people we have aquired a ship its called the drunken sailor and aye think we should leave before the bar tender looks behind him"
the shelf was bare the sailor slid out of the door six inches above the floor

"Vell vaddya know!" said Merrylan happily, obviously he had too many drinks. The feegles were hiding in a crack under the table. "Old Stobnbeface vill be verry pleased about zat at least! He von't have to pay to get a big fancy ship..Vhat vas It called again?" said Merrylan.
Togo looked over to the barman. He whistled while he washed the mugs, and reached for the shelf.
"Oi! What's happened to my drinks!"
Togo smiled to himself, and took another sip of lemonade..

Alice blushed and looked over at the new lance constable, confused by his comment, does he know I am a vampire? she wondered, idly licking her fangs
Quietly sipping her small glass of water, Alice pretended the feegles did not exist
At the sound of the bar man's shout, Alice flinched, and slid closer to Togo, her glass of water now shaking in her hands

Dirkly shuddered mind desperately searching for excuses for why he kept seeing fangs.
He shook his head and went with his default answer of 'must be my mind playing tricks on me' when he noticed that they seemed to be leaving.
'...It was something about a ship and a captain...' he thought, as he stood up. He trying to catch up with everyone else since his mind had been elsewhere for nearly their whole stay at the bar.

Togo gingerly put an arm over Alice, this was certainly unknown territory.. his parents still encouraged Togo with the stalk story.
"Don't worry, you don't look a lot like a vampire..you're just...pale."
Merrylan grinned at Togo. Oh, gods..he doesn't know about her "Ssoo, ve got a ship? Ze drrrunken sailorr, eh? Lets check it out!" The watchmen got up and headed for the door.
"Er..one thing." said Togo, still seated with Alice."Do any of you know how to sail a ship?"
The watchmen exchanged glances. Runt started to snigger.
"OK, we're going to need a captain, then." said Togo.
Lemsip sat in the dark, with Samson and Lilah.
"N-no way out." mumbled Lemsip, scratching softly against the dirt"Cn't go b'ck..blocked..cn't go f'rw'rd.."

Alice shuddered slightly when Togo put his arm around her, because the last time someone did that, it was her father just doing it to throw her out of the house, but she felt oddly comfortable with Togo doing it, so she soon relaxed
She froze when she heard what he had said
He does not know I am a vampire? she thought, her face began to blush, and her heart beat began to speed up, she was going to look to Merrylan for help, but she knew he would be loving this too much to do anything about it
The glass slipped through Alice's hands and toppled over, spilling water on the bar, and Alice began to tremble violently
