[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7161914, member: 6777052"] [COLOR=#0000CD]Keyes returned shortly, waving some envelopes. "The mail has arrived," she called. "Looks like we've got some replies to the intern advert." "Great," remarked Foghorn, "Let's see what we've got. Here, Tippy, you can help us sort through them. We need dragon-finders, no experience necessary." There was a shuffling of pieces of paper, sorting them between "probably impossibles" and "improbably possibles" until just five remained. "This one looks resourceful," reported Ronni, "Could be just what we need. It's a first-level wizard called Macfeece. He's even put a SummonMe rubber at the bottom so he must be keen. Now that's what I call really go-ahead," so went ahead and rubbed it. Macfeece timidly entered the tavern and looked around, hoping someone would tell him what to do. You could tell by his robes that he was a wizard, although it would have taken an expert to divine that he was of the School of Apology. "Am I allowed in here?" he asked, "I've come about the advert?" Foghorn rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes, come on in. You are allowed to buy a beer and sit down at one of the tables while you drink it." The relief was palpable on Macfeece's face. "I've read all the books about taverns," he explained, "and they tell you where to find them but they don't actually tell you what to [I]do[/I]." "I know," sympathised Foghorn, thinking [I]where do they get these idiots?[/I] "When I was your age, my old dad had to take me to a tavern and show me how to drink beer. Don't you have an uncle, or an older brother, maybe?" "I'm an orphan. I'm supposed to turn out to be the child of royal parentage but I don't see how.
