I was taken to the reception hall of Castle Amber and seated with three strangely dressed individuals before Random and Vialle, the king and queen. Also present was Bleys and several other members of the Amber royal family who I did not recognize. Random spoke.

He paced in front of us as we sat silent. A looked about me at those around me.

Konstantin Lords - Seated closest to me was a young man of about average height. He was dressed simply and had paint on his shirt. An artist perhaps.

Locke - A huge tank of a man. He was dressed in a black leather jacket and pants. This clothing possibly concealed armor of some sort and he wore a sword at his belt. I could not recognize the symbols on his jacket. This man had to be a warrior.

Jessica Hartbrooke - Quite possibly the tallest woman I have ever met. She looked quite strong and maybe a little nervous. She was dressed in simple dark purple, loose fitting pants and a black sweater with a C symbol.

None of us was doing any explaining, so Vialle elaborated.

There was something usual about Vaille aside from her slightly greenish skin tint and bright green hair, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I Iooked over at Bleys. He just sort of shrugged.

So be it. They questioned us to little effect. The other three were as unsure about the situation as I was. Eventually a one armed man, who appeared to be the captian of the guard, suggested the Random question us individually. Random agreed. Fiona looked at us each in turn. She was using some mystic method of sizing us up, I could tell. She choose Jessica to be the first one questioned. He lead her into a side room with Fiona and Random.

This gave the rest of us a chance to talk.

Locke was the next to be questioned. Lastly, Random questioned myself and the artist.
