[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7302395, member: 6777052"] There was only one way it could end. The valiant four ran away, hotly pursued by two boulders that came to rest in a convenient gully. Jeli used some words of common that made even Nord blush. He produced a handkerchief and blew his nose loudly to cover his embarassment. "We need to tack upwind of 'em, then rake 'em with a broadside o' cannonshot," he suggested. It wasn't a very useful suggestion, but the first thing he could think of.

"I'll get you another one." "Oh, alright then." Od threw his apple as directed. His aim was true and a yell came from yonder. "Ow! What did you do that for?" came a gruff bass voice. A dwarf emerged from the rocks holding the apple and rubbing his head. He was dressed in grey robes and wore a leather harness from which hung various mining tools. He glared at the four. "Clear off," he shouted, "Don't you know the meaning of the word Mine?" "Did you throw those boulders at us?" "No," lied the dwarf. "I threw them at a gannet." "I think you are going to come down here and surrender," suggested Od in a strange, lilting voice that seemed oh, so, terribly reasonable. The dwarf ... [/QUOTE]
