(both said in a loud and obnoxious voice)  His other favourite catch-phrase was "I can't heal you yet--but if we beat you up below half, I can heal you infinitely!  You can't heal him infinitely, can you cleric?  That's because the dragons made better healing long before you!" The group got a good laugh out of him but decided to abandon him at the first chance they got <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
