Andrea and Astra came in, the tall Astra having to duck to avoid banging
her head on
the low lintel. Andrea looked around her nervously. She had heard many
frightening rumours about the power and the evilness of the necromancer.
She was
surprised by the apparent humbleness of Belboz's abode. She had expected
him to live
in a castle rather than a large hut.
The hut was rather dark inside, illuminated by only a single candle. From what Andrea could see of the furnishings, they were fairly spartan. Again she wondered why such a powerful mage should not use that power in order to live more comfortably. Belboz directed his guests to take seats around a low wooden table. "Now," he said, "you've had a long journey. You'll be wanting food and wine." Andrea was about to refuse, afraid that what she was given might be enchanted in some way. However Astra shot her a warning look. If they were seeking Belboz's aid, they couldn't risk antagonising him by refusing his hospitality. "Er, thank you," Andrea said unhappily.
