Elthic, more than a little bored after losing count of the number of mugs he's downed, has been eavesdropping on the "wizards three". After hearing the mention of scribing scrolls, he perks up. A little too much.
He slips on his seat and falls on the floor with a loud thud, spilling his drink on the floor.
"Damned seat is wobbly!" he grumbles. "Can't trust a human to make anything right. Ah, well... at least my mug didn't break. They have their priorities right, I suppose. Hey, JOE! Fix me up with another..."
A little wobbly on his feet, he stops to think for a moment. "Maybe not something quite as strong."
He totters back to his table, and looks around glumly, before sighing. "I'm going to be here for a long time, aren't I?" he grumbles.
