[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7346080, member: 6777052"] "Is that rabbit stew?" asked Snappy. "Don't mind if I do." "Sure," said Herewulf, "Help yourself, we've already had ours." The girls having ridden off into the night taking Sam with them, our four stalwart heroes remained gathered around the fire. Nord threw on another log and used a mage hand to stir up a comforting blaze. Herwulf winced when the [i]hand[/i] went into the flames, but then realised that it couldn't take damage so it wouldn't get burnt. He wondered idly if there was a [i]Lay on Mage Hands[/i] spell that paladins could learn. It might be really useful for healing fire elementals, for example. Maybe he could research it, next time they had any downtime. That didn't look to be soon, though. Od produced a miniature lute, [i]Enlarged[/i] it to normal size and began to strum a whistful melody. He was thinking of Sam. [INDENT]Alas my love, you do me wrong To gallop off on a unicorn. For I have love'd you so long, And with tender longings am I torn.[/INDENT] Jeli settled down next to Nord and adjusted her skirts in what she hoped was an alluring manner but Nord was busy staring into the fire and didn't notice. "What do you see in the fire?" she asked. "I see a dragon chasing an elephant, and there's a ghastly face upside down just above them." "Do you? I see two hearts entwined in the bonds of love." "That's women for you," declared Nord brusquely. "Always on about romance, never anything important." "And elephants are important to you?"

As long as we pretend not to." "Metamental." "That's metal :) " "Anyway, who's turn is it to be on watch tomight?" "It's probably my turn." "Suits me, I'm tired after all that walking we did today."
