"Saldin, you say? Hmm, I don't believe we have ever been introduced. And what became of him? Oh never mind, your reputation proceeds you," Grandmaster Torch says wily with a chapped smile.
By the second course, Venture-Captain Yasmin Kal’al joins you all as well to partake in the banquet. Every request is fulfilled and merriment is had by all in attendance. Grandmaster Torch is a very hospitable host, turning most conversations to interesting points of current events.
