[QUOTE="Natural 20, post: 2838306, member: 27840"] … the oafish-orphan-monk extracted a small, strange object, and, without hesitation, threw it in my direction. What I did to deserve this odd behavior I will never know, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt and ascribe his inappropriate assault to “nervous energy.” Being about fifteen feet away I did have a brief instant to observe the object as it arced towards me, tumbling end over end… it was about the size of a small pickle and had black leathery surface – if I was to guess from the way light played on its matte surface I would say it appeared “greasy.” Normally I’d have been able to leap out of its path nimbly, but I must be rustier than I thought. The thing hit me squarely in the chest with a force of impact no more than what you’d expect from a smallish, greasy, leathery, flying pickle, but then suddenly… PFFFZZZzzzzzzttttttttTTTTTzzzzkkkPOP!!! …a brilliant octarine flash nearly blinded me, and a bizarre acrid smoke burned in my nostrils. As I reeled backwards from the shock of this magical release I saw a dark, large mass materialize from the midst of the explosion – then a loud thud, as the thing hit the deck under the force of gravity. It became quickly apparent that the object was a living creature, which, thrashing about, was easy to identify as a dolphin. To be sure, I was surprised by this turn of events, but I tried to imagine what it might be like to be this summoned dolphin. One minute you’re a flying pickle, and the next you are a bonefide dolphin flopping about on the deck of a ship surrounded by strangers. I guess even summoned dolphins know that they belong in water, so with one of two powerful sweeps of its tail it pushed itself up off of the deck and over the rail, gracefully entering the churning sea with a silent splash. Closer inspection of the pouch revealed nine more of these little pods. I suppose that if we keep these in a safe dry place, and make sure no one confuses them with a suppository in the mean time, these gifts from the belly of an octopus just might come in handy someday.
