They step through from Eivor's rooms in Castle Amber to the remains of Wormwoods' in Kasaba. The pre-dawn air is cold, and tatters of mist hang about the burnt wooden walls and crushed brick of the place. Broken bottles cover the floor, bullet-pocked paintings sag against what remains of the walls. Looking up, they can see Hammett's former rooms and the office was torn up, and the safe blasted open. Worthless German banknotes have become a sodden, mouldering paste beneath their feet. A snake silently curls about bits of rubble as it hunts down a nest of vermin. A foghorn sounds sonorously from the bay.
According to Hammett's instructions, the magic portal to Hammett's new saloon is out the blasted hole where the door once hung, then down the alley a short way.

I turn to the princess as we search for the magical portrait " You habit of name dropping people.....we need to work on that. "

"With rare exception it is Family I speak of... Are you suggestion I merely say 'I am related to many individuals but can't tell you anything about them, especially who they are, because of their positions in society?"
Stepping around a support brace Lorelei spots the doorman. "We're here..." .

Dio curiously looks around the wrecked building.
Seeing the snake hunt for a nest of vermin she squats down and smiles studying its movements. Crawling along the floor she rattles some floorboards to scare up the vermin for the little snake to hunt.
Seeing some mice skitter Dio snatches one of the floor and dangles it in front of the snake.
When Lorelei says she found the entrance Dio looks up.
Lowering the mouse for the snake to grab.
"Be right there Lady Lorelei."

"W ith rare exception it is Family I speak of... Are you suggestion I merely say 'I am related to many individuals but can't tell you anything about them, especially who they are, because of their positions in society?" Stepping around a support brace Lorelei spots the doorman. " We're here..." . " Mentioning your brother to try to impress people for one. And Mentioning Hammett and putting Evior into an awkward position." I look at her " but let's get to the after party. "

From the outside, the doorman is a young boy dressed in rags.
"Five dollars, Yankee money." He says to them with hand held out.

After feeding the snake Dio looks at it for a bit and holds her hand near it, she lets it slither over her arm and coil around her arm.
Giving it a warm apot to digest the fat mouse it just ate.
Getting up she then walks back to Brian and Lorelei. Looking at doorman/boy she raises an eyebrow.
Dio knows she got money from Lorelei but she waits for Brian and Lorelei's cue what to do.

The kid puts the coin between his teeth and bites down. Shrugging he places it in his pocket.
"Close enough, boss, but next time bring folding money.
"Ladies?"

Dio walks up carefully stroking the snake looking at the boy she hands him then a silver to.
With a bright smile she responds
"Every type of money is foldable if you put your back into it.... "
She then looks at her snake and back to the boy.
"Since he takes up no place i won't pay for him."

After the snake and folding coins comment the boy looks at Dio as if she is completely insane.
"As a queen and God I will not pay any 'entrance fee'" Annue says haughtiness. "Brian, remove this urchin's head for showing such impertinance."

"Then our host should understand his place and our status and keep this rabble from impeding our entrance." " You would deny a Smith his hound....." I refrence Setanta, the Cu himself. Another man she loved.....a man she killed for rejecting her. " My love. We have to learn of the barbarians of Kolvir....not become barbaric ourselves. Also tipping help often has its uses." I toss the boy 3 more silver pieces. " My wife has a point about your professionalism lad. And you might encounter some one more willing to take your life if you act impertinent. What is your name boy?"

"If you got a problem then take it up with the big boss inside. But first this princess-lookin' dame has to pay up."
