Geoffery calls, and Halgo is almost certain he hears Blarth muttering puny dwarf under his breath."I've got an idea," Halgo calls back.  "Just be ready to stop them if they bolt."Othic 's expression immediately changes to one of alarm."Don't worry," Halgo assures him.  "This looks worse than it is.  It wont hurt them in the slightest."Then he sucks in a deep breath and begins the incantation for a color spray.  The arcane words rush from his mouth and the flare of multicolored lights spring from his fingers towards the horses.  Yip lets out a short yip of surprise, and Othic looks like he's goes into a state of shock.The weaving colors dance in the horses vision for a few seconds.  Blaze, the larger of the two, stares transfixed into the weaving pattern then falls to the ground.  Broadsword, smaller and darker, panics and bolts off in the opposite direction - away fromt he waiting Yip and towards the wagon."Stop him" Halgo calls.  Geoffery just watches, ammused by the proceedings, but Blarth leaps from his spot and chases the horse.  The panicked Broadsword kicks out as the half-orc approaches, catching a glancing blow on his armor."Arg, Puny horse," Blarth yells, then proceeds to punch the horse in the nose with a gauntletted fist.  Broadsword looks wobbly in the aftermath, even takes a few unstead steps to the left.At this, Othic faints dead away.Broadsword and Blarth are at it immediately.  The horse rears up, striking out with its forehoves, while the half-orcs heavy blows are hammer out at it even as the hooves strike him.  Within seconds, Blarth has beaten the horse into unconsciousness."Puny Horse," he spits vehemently, rubbing at a bruise already starting to form on his brow.  Then he walks back to the wagon and retakes his seat.Halgo and Yip rush in to rope the incapaciated horses.  "How long does it take a horse to regain consciousness?" Halgo asks, looking down at the unconscious Broadsword.  "The other one will be awake and unharmed inside a minute.""Maybe I'd better heal it before we wake up Othic?" Geoffery offers.  Nobody dissagrees.  Geoffery heads over to the unconscious horse while Halgo ties the now-conscious Blaze to the back of the wagon and goes to wake othic.  "Humans strange," Yip offers to no-one in particular.  He hops up on the wagon beside Blarth to watch Geoffery and Halgo go about their work.</blockquote>
