[QUOTE="Peteinmaine, post: 4014761, member: 59400"] [b]Bootsy's tale[/b] "No, a giant gnome you say? I've ne'r heard o' tha likes o' tha'!" Bootsy answered the barkeep solemnly and with a genuinely interested look on his ruddy face. He stood on a bar stool finishing his ale and knowing it was time to move further out. He'd always lived on the outskirts of town, maybe Kingsholm would be the place to settle down you can't get much farther away than that. "Yeah, I thought the one eyed man had lost it when he told me he came home to find his wife in bed with a six foot tall gnome, who'd then proceeded to shoot out his eye and run away." The barkeep said. "Sounds to me like the poor guy must've lost it." Bootsy nodded his agreement. The damn blacksmith was persistent normally once he made it out of town the husbands stopped looking. Oh well it was probably for the best, even with the discount Grand Wizard Enzyte gave him the enlarge potions could be expensive, and eventually the novelty of bedding down with a giant gnome wears thin, she would've gone back to her husband in another few days anyway!!! Bootsy finished his ale and turned to hop off his stool when their eyes met. "YOU!!!" The blacksmith yelled, Bootsy realizing the jig was up hastilly blurted out a summoning spell, however in his drunken state the angry dog he meant to cause a distraction became a screeching monkey. Still he had to make due with what he had as he hopped onto the bar and ran across it deftly hopping out the open window at the end. "Get it off my head!!" The blacksmith could be heard shouting as bootsy ran down the street as fast as his short legs could take him. Ahead a merchant heading towards Kingsholm was just climbing into the driver's seat of his cart. "You there!" Bootsy called out. "Five gold for a ride to Kingsholm!" The merchant nodded at the gnome and Bootsy ambled up the wheel and into the back of the cart. "If the crazy guy with the patch comes this way I'm not here!!" Bootsy exclaimed as he nestled in between two crates and settled in for the ride. Behind him the commotion in the bar had drawn a crowd and the angry one-eyed blacksmith was wiping monkey crap out of his hair and stumbling about crying vengeance, the cart pulled away and the merchant snickered as he goaded his horse on out of town, five gold was five gold!
