[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7163136, member: 6777052"] [COLOR=blue]Tippy spoke to a passing urchin. "Blessings upon thee, small urchin," he intoned, "We are travellers from afar, seeking a place to stay in this city." In exchange for a copper piece, the urchin recommended somewhere he called "The Eppy" and when Tippy looked blank, he elaborated. "The Epitomised Hostelry," he explained, "It's run by my Uncle Edwin and Aunt Matilda. Go straight down this road to the city centre and it's on the left between the Temple of Doom and the Hall of Prosperity." "Thank you, you are very knowledgeable." "I'm not really an urchin, I'm covering for my friend while she steals the keys to the gold vaults hidden in the sewers." "I wonder ..." began Albert, but Tasha nudged him in the ribs and made signals with her eyebrows that he thought meant "Bandits at twelve o'clock high! Tally ho! Red Leader out!" but he might have been watching the wrong movies so he wasn't sure and kept quiet. At this point, Tippy though he ought to start being leader-ish and review resources, set goals, agree plans and whatnot. You could tell he'd been on a management course. "Macfeece, what spells have you prepared today?" he asked. "[I]Comprehend Oranges[/I] and [I]Find Familiar[/I]. Would you like to see my celestial octopus? He's called Tickles." "Er, no, not right now, keep him until we need him. How about cantrips?" "[I]Blade Ward[/I], [I]Ray of Frost[/I], and [I]Light/Heavy[/I]" "Okay, that's a useful combination, thank you." "I read the book on min/maxing and that's what it said was best." "Yes, well done." Making their way towards the city centre along a busy street throng'ed with many throngs, the street suddenly emptied but for a sedan chair hurrying away on the other side and a sorcerer in a wide-brimmed hat who had emerged unexpectedly from a side street. Ignoring the party, the sorcerer put two fingers in her mouth, emitted a piercing whistle, and shouted to the sedan chair: "Taxeee!" "What was all that about?" wondered Albert. "INITB," shrugged Macfeece. "What's INITB mean? Is it a cantrip?" "No, it's arcane-speak. It means It's Not In The Books." [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
