Sokrates enters

[Sokrates Salonikas]

All closest to the door subconsciously shudder and draw away from the threshold as Sokrates enters, as though it suddenly got a whole lot colder.  He brushes off his dusty robes, although upon closer inspection it doesn't seem like the usual wear and tear of the trail, rather more like fine grave dust.  He approaches the person at the counter and quietly inquires as to the possibility of acquiring several rooms for various business.  He then sits quietly and surveys the room.

"Good barman, man of the bar, the bar's man. Might I leave a message with you? I and an associate wish to get word to the merchant Deamos. We have need of his...services. Is this sufficient, or shall I leave word at the window?"

[Sokrates Salonikas]

Sokrates furtively slips out of the Lounge, and dive rolls across the hall through the doorway to the War Room.
