Delion, in his infinite curiosity and naivete, cautiously flies towards the table, wondering who, or what, these beings are, and if any of them know where to find the man he's looking for. He stops around 10 feet directly above the table and looks closely at each of the 9 people before him.
HELLO! I am Delion Mornaka! Who are you? Do you know Caleb Gaffaro?

In a slightly unnerving manner, all nine chant an eerie introduction, We are the 9 Fates of Chaos.
The three women then spoke, We called you here, using the thought of a friend in peril as bait.
We utilized this method for we knew you would not have come otherwise. The three large men continued.
You shall keep the peace of this land, like others before you, until we are quite ready for chaos to consume it. The thin men finished.

Delion scratches his head confusedly, obviously not understanding what they're talking about.
Caleb not here?
His expression changes from curious wonderment to disappointment. Downheartedly, he slowly flies over towards the others, still hovering above their heads, and eyes them over. After several moments of staring, he descends crouches down to eye level in front of the gnome, tilting his head from side to side as if to examine him from all angles.
HELLO! I am Delion Mornaka! Who are you? Do you know Caleb Gaffaro?

Azera stood slowly and stared at the nine who were situated near the other end of the room.
Azera wanted to ask so many questions, but her disability kept her silent much to her irritation. She had gotten used to not being able to talk but sometimes...
Shona did not have the same disabilty. She stood and surveyed the assembled figures. She stood and pushed Sai behind her protectivly. "Stay behind me Sweetie" Shona whispered kindly "I won't let them hurt you."
Azera shot Shona a look and Shona nodded before calling out "So you've lied to us to get us here, What do you want us to do"
Suddenly two others became apparent, a gnome and a flying...person? After the apperance of the nine they weren't really suprised to see more, but their appearence was still odd.
Shona turned her violet eyes on the others "and who in the name of Bahumets Scales are you"

Quite honestly, we need you all. the 9 said calmly.
We have chosen you like we have chosen the ones before you, and the ones before that. The women said in a bored tone.
We, coincidently, keep peace and order throughout this land.
Though only because we shall reap chaos and disruption when we deem it time. The thin men chanted while remaining expressionless.
You have been called here for a test of worth, which will be held in this Inn, as it has been in centuries past. The 9 said staring forward.

Sai hid fearfully behind Shona for a few moments, but upon hearing the nine speak, certain words caught her attention. She swung her body around Shona's and pointed the tip of the quarterstaff at the table of strange beings threateningly.
With only a small hesitation left in her voice, she declared clearly in her tiny voice "What... do you mean? I have... no intention of aiding chaos!" her staff shook slightly, but her resolve was clear.

In not helping us, you will only allow chaos to enter this world more quickly.
While we may not know when the time is right just now...
We know it will enter the world much sooner without you four...
We are bound by our fate, and as such we must bind chaos to the order of fate.
You, and others like you are the only tools we have to do so.

Sai's hand stopped shaking and the quarterstaff returned to the self-comforting position in front of her with both her hands on it next to each other. She stood in this paralyzed nervous position with a slightly blushed face for a few moments and without another word, she ducked back behind Shona like a frightened child.

Shona watched in bemusement as the shacking girl behind here jumped out and practically threatened the seemingly very powerful beings, and just as fast transform back into the fritened girl.
She was about to say something when Azera walked besides her and put a arm around the shacking girl. She looked up at Shona and Shona smiled.
She turned and faced the council and said "You keep blabbing about the natural order and chaos and bady-blah. Tell us what we have to to do or we'll pack our things and hit the Bahumet Damned road!"
Azera stared at her reproachfully while still comforting the girl silently, and Shona sighed and said "Please tell us what he mission is."

His momentary daze fading, Dinbar's expression slowly shifts from shock to curiosity to irritation, as he listens to the nine figures.
His mouth opens to speak, but is left hanging by the sudden presence of the inquisitive, winged figure.
"Caleb who? Uh..."
He notices the two women and the strange girl facing and questioning the figures, pauses, then gestures towards them.
"...Try asking them. I'll bet they know.."
Stepping past the curious person, he faces the nine figures. A clear sense of annoyance in his voice.
"Do you mean to say I traveled in haste all the way here for *this*? I have no clue as to who you are or what exactly it is you need of me, but your approach so far leaves *much* to be desired. Explain yourselves, what *exactly* it is you need of me and most importantly, how you plan to compensate for my time, or I leave now."
Crossing his arms, he lowers his voice to an even more hostile tone.
"And spare me the cryptic speech."

Basically, you are to stop evil from entering this world.
Your reward shall be knowing you did a good deed...
However for those of you who care not for rewards...
You may have your enemies' treasure.
And if appropriate, we shall provide help and rewards along the way. For now we shall test you meddle in sending you to the upper floor here.
Find the four amulets we have placed there.
Be prepared when you enter there
And destroy what is there.

Azera nuzzled Sai's hair one last time, trying to convey a motherly sense of safety as best as she could without being able to speak, before she stood and stared at the nine.
She took a step forward so she stood side-by-side with her and casually grinned, her eyes suddenly changing to green, even the whites.
Shona glanced at Azera and also grinned "All you had to was say so guys...we'll get your damned amulets and save the world from THE GREAT EVIL" she used air quotes around the last three words " ta' boot."
Azera and Shona turned to walk towards the stairs to the second floor, as they were closing in on it, Shona looked over her shoulder "Is anyone else coming?"

Sai, disheartened by being told off by the nine beings, took a few steps toward where Azera and Shona had gone, then broke into a run to try and catch up with them.

Dinbar glances over to the woman beckoning from the stairs, then to the girl who promptly runs up to them. Angrily turning back to face the figures, he opens his mouth to speak again, but hesitates at the last instant. Pausing for a few seconds, he ponders with a clear air of frustration about him.
"Fine."
He turns and starts walking towards the women, muttering to himself.
" 'Stop evil' my arse...Couldn't find some uptight paladin or something could they?...This better be damn well worth it."

Delion looked disappointed once more, and slowly hovered over to the rest of the group. He gave one last glance at the table of nine beings. At the base of the staircase he stopped and looked up. Not seeing anything, he called out at the top of his lungs.
CALEB? ARE YOU UPSTAIRS?
