[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7154890, member: 29398"] [COLOR="#FF8C00"]They rode on and a few minutes later, as the tavern came in sight, there suddenly were Ronni and Keyes, swooping down wearing their winged accoutrements. "It's Knife!" they squealed with delight. "Cholmondley, you genius, you've brought her back!"[/COLOR] As this was the first (and probably last) time in his life that anyone had referred to Cholmondley as a genius, or even smart, or in fact anything better than thick-as-two-planks-nailed-together, the novelty of the experience was so much of an experience that he [COLOR="#00FF00"]gained a level on the spot[/COLOR]. Drawing his new higher-level self up in the saddle, he grandly replied "Well, you could say I've brought her back; and in fact you did just say I've brought her back, and it's true: I've brought her back...and her front, too. And her sides. All of her. It's all here. Well, almost all here." He paused, gathering his few scattered thoughts for the next salvo, then went on: "And while you could say I've brought her back...and yes, you did just say I've brought her back...I didn't quite bring her back, and in fact she still needs bringing back. I've brought her back to be brought back, you see? And if you bring her back after I've brought her back we'll have her back...and that's what noble comrades do, isn't it - have each other's backs? Isn't it? Isn't..." About now Cholmondley realized the only being left near him was Harrington (and that only because the knight hadn't dismounted yet), because during his blather Ronni had realized the true situation and taken Knife inside to Sister Jericho...who, the legends had it, could fix anything. Keyes, meanwhile, had taken one look at the white palfrey and decided it would be hers for ever more; and was now joyfully riding it around the next field. Barnaby had followed, mostly because the grass in that field looked greener than in this one, and now couldn't understand why the grass in the field he had just left looked greener than it did before. So Cholmondley dismounted (and Harrington fled to the next field to join Keyes and the palfrey) and made for the tavern...and became confused yet again; because the sign that read [I]Frolicking Frog[/I] when last he was here now showed [I]The Druid's Head[/I], and he had no idea why. Nevertheless, as he still had Knife's knife and this was the only place Knife could have gone, he went inside...... [/QUOTE]
