[QUOTE="GruTheWanderer, post: 761230, member: 3119"] The human wizard explains his plight. Not long ago he crash-landed on a magic-poor world, where he was discovered by Erik Bloodaxe, the late captain of the drakkar. When Lareth told the barbarian that he was a wizard who flew among the stars, Erik became quite interested. The shock of the crash had wiped Lareth's spells from memory. He attempted to spend some time with his spellbook, but the savage took it away and burned it in front of him. Bloodaxe took the wizard home and spent weeks tormenting Lareth for information about spelljamming. After discovering that the ship's helm survived the crash, Bloodaxe stood up before his village council and proposed raiding the magic lands beyond the sky. The council laughed him out of the hall, but Erik was not deterred. He gathered many of the younger warriors, installed the helm on one of the village's ships, and set off to prove himself a warrior not to be scoffed at. Bloodaxe and his crew found their first encounters in space to be easy pickings. The other ships they met were more suited to space travel, but the raiders made up for their inexperience with ferocity and will. Bloodaxe burned the other ships behind him and took no prisoners, which is why he probably escaped the notice of the Navy (until now). Erik left Lareth alive because he was the only one who could operate the helm, but the warrior never trusted the wizard. He and the others would even drag the wizard along during boarding actions, for fear that he would attempt to steal away with the ship. Lareth was able to prepare magic missle and a few other spells from memory, but didn't see a likely shot at freedom until now. [/QUOTE]
