"\"I cannot think where Garlimon found this powder, but it is fortunate
indeed that he did. This,\" he said, rubbing the powder between his
fingers, \"is a rare magical reagent which can be mixed with the
earthly essences to produce powerful enchantments. Be careful; the reagent
is most unstable, and should be mixed only when needed. Even then, some
mixtures may not have any effect whatever.\"">)

"Astrix had some words for Praxix regarding the next phase of our journey.
\"In the lowest levels of the Dwarves caverns, there are magical reagents
which can be mixed with the earthly essences to create powerful enchantments.
The most valuable is a blue-green rock which crumbles to a fine powder
that is bitter to the taste. Take care if you find it, for it is most
unstable, and should be mixed only when needed. Even then, some mixtures
may not have any magical effect.\"">

"When it was time to leave, Astrix gave us rough directions through the
forest to the Dwarvish gate at Bern i-Fen, at the extreme eastern
end of the Reth a-Zar. \"I shall alert the Dwarves of your coming,\"
he said, and spoke in some forgotten tongue to an eagle who was perched
quietly on the tower's battlements. The eagle gave a shrill cry, then
soared from sight into the west." CR CR>

"\"Your path will be difficult, that is certain, but remember: we have many
friends yet who live upon the earth. Be careful!
Make good speed!\" And with that, he turned and limped back to his

through the Old Forest toward the caverns of the Dwarves. It was mid-afternoon
when the road unexpectedly forked; both paths led roughly to the west,
