Tanis glanced at Raistlin, saw the mage's strange hourglass eyes focused on him with a piercing stare, and turned uncomfortably back to gaze into the fire.
"Where have you been, Half-Elf?" Tanis jumped and turned around to see Sliver materialize out of a shadowy corner. He swallowed nervously.
"I was captured by a Dragon Highlord," he said, reciting the answer he had prepared. "The Highlord thought I was one of his officers, naturally, and asked me to escort him to his troops, who are stationed outside of town. Of course, I had to do as he asked or make him suspicious. Finally, tonight, I was able to get away." He glanced at Raistlin and Sliver uncomfortably.
"Interesting." Sliver said, her gaze piercing through him.
Tanis glanced at her sharply. "What's interesting?" He saw Raistlin give a quick look over at the elf-maiden before saying softly,
" I have never heard you lie before, Half-Elf. I find it…quite…fascinating."
Tanis opened his mouth, but, before he could reply, Caramon returned, followed by Riverwind and Goldmoon and Tika, yawning sleepily.

"Guards, Tanis! Guards! Coming this way!"
"Surely they can't be here because of us," Tanis said. He stopped, eyeing the light-fingered kender, struck by a sudden thought. "Tas—"
"It wasn't me, honest!" Tas protested. "I never even reached the marketplace! I just got to the bottom of the street when I saw a whole troop of guards coming this direction."
"What's this about guards?" Sturm asked as he entered from the common room. "Is this one of the kender's stories?"
"No. Listen," Tanis said. Everyone hushed. They could hear the tramp of booted feet coming in their direction and glanced at each other in apprehension and concern. "The innkeeper's disappeared. I thought we got into the city a bit too easily. I should have expected trouble." Tanis scratched his beard, well aware that everyone was looking to him for orders.
"Laurana, you and Elistan go upstairs. Sturm, you and Gilthanas remain with me. The rest of you go to your rooms. Riverwind, you're in command. Caramon and Raistlin, you protect them, and you, too, Sliver. Use your magic, Raistlin, if necessary. Flint—"
"I'm staying with you," the dwarf stated firmly.
Tanis smiled and put his hand on Flint's shoulder. "Of course, old friend. I didn't even think you needed telling."
