7.31  “Erin. Miss Erin, have you heard about my sister? Liska?”
7.31  “Um. Erin. I think Ishkr’s really worried. Liska might actually be with a riot. That’s like her. I can go through. I’ll stick to the safe zones.”
7.31  “You sure, Drassi? What’s Liska like? You know her? I’ve never even met her.”
7.31  “What’s wrong with Liska?”
7.50  “We check the door every ten minutes—that’s what you say, Liska—”
7.53  “Hey, Ishkr! And Liska, right?”
7.53  Liska? She’s got a bad attitude but she follows orders so she’s not unmanageable. Not like Maran and Safry.”
7.53  “No kidding? Well, maybe we can get Liska some work where she doesn’t have to smile at people. Like the loading jobs with the Antinium? Unless she has a problem with them or she’s untrustworthy?”
7.53  “It could work. Maybe writing receipts or some of the secretarial jobs. Liska doesn’t seem untrustworthy—just rebellious. Doesn’t like having orders. Although—she works better if I talk to her rather than Ishkr. Brother and sister.”
Interlude – Saliss the Adventurer  Erin hurried down the hallway. She missed the smirking Gnoll, Liska, Ishkr’s sister, open the door to Pallass and blink as someone pushed past her. Erin was already in the common room.
7.56  The [Guard] let a creeping Gnoll come through behind the Halfseekers. Liska hesitated and checked her apron. It had the inn written on it. How handy!
7.56  She saw Lyonette and Numbtongue exchange a glance. Ishkr leaned on his broom, eying the incoming horde with resignation. He had been enjoying the peace and quiet. He saw Liska trying to sneak past them and his eyes narrowed.
7.57  The new guests—mostly Human from Invrisil—were giving the Goblins and the Antinium a side-eye. But Ishkr’s sister, Liska, still without a permanent job, had a new task as she welcomed people into the inn.
7.57  In a monotone voice, Liska pointed to a pair of signs as a bemused group of guests entered the inn. They read the signs, hung overhead and along the hallway just in case they missed the first one.
7.57  Maviola El strode into The Wandering Inn as the last visitor arrived. She heard Liska’s tired refrain.
7.57  To where? To dance on the gates again? Maviola made a noise of disgust. She saw Liska yawning and the glowing yellow stone for Pallass.
7.57  No one had told the Gnoll not to check Pallass, although Erin’s aura kept almost everyone out. So Saliss bounded into the inn. Liska was just reaching for the stone to change the door when it opened.
7.57  Someone else blew past Liska. Maviola blinked.
7.57  Another leapt—but the second jet of acid struck him across the chest and he screamed. The first was already dead, smoking. The third [Assassin] ran for the door, pushing past Liska.
7.57  He laughed. Liska backed away from him, eyes wide. Saliss adjusted the dial. And walked into Invrisil.
