Within a few minutes- the great wizard speaks to some of them. He is an enlightening presence- but one that does not take too kindly of accusations of cruelty.
“I'm sorry what has happened to your friend- but such things cannot be avoided. I have only separated myself from the world as the ages grow long. Every guest who comes to me asks for my knowledge- simple charging a fee or keeping them away doesn't work. My measures get more extreme each time- the fact YOU managed to get here together shows me I need to work on it more. But I am bound by the ancient rules of hospitality. I, <span class="mu-s">Arabamnon</span>, must answer one question- not one for each of you, mind, but all of you.”
“Why don't you just share your knowledge with everyone?” - one voice asked.
The ancient wizard sighed. Some in the party were confused as to how anyone could dare question this <span class="mu-i">being</span>. Some did not wish to say anything- the Dwarves especially. They were afraid. Who could dare question an ancient one?
