narp "no, no, how silly of me. slightly blackened would be light brown."

narp is about to go off on color comparision, when D, getting an idea, says "maybe you should watch for threats."

narp imediatly becomes alert and starts scaning the surounding mountainside and jungle. after a few minutes, he says "just a few wolves, three eagles and two owls. nothing to worry about. mind if i work on my sword?"

when nobody objects, narp finds a flat rock, sits down next to it, pulls a grindstone and a small hammer out of his pack and begins to scrape at and occasionally bang on, his sword.

ooc:[Narp - I sent you a small bio on Jack.]
ooc:[Krsqk - Didn't see any of what? ]

Hearing Arthur's growl and the following thump, Jack turns around and pays more attention to him.
Jack "Hey, I didn't notice this head injury earlier. This is something I can fix."
"Guérissez Les Blessures"
With that, Arthur's wound heals, and he wakes up (much to his dismay, as the hangover is still there).

Jack "Hmm, that stone doesn't look very comfortable, here, try my cot."
Jack unrolls his cot, which hovers quietly a foot off the ground.

ooc:[you call that small? ]

narp "to bad about your headache. is it from a speed and strength enhancement spell? i had one yesterday and you have my sympathies."

*scrape, scrape, bang*

Thinking that perhaps Arthur's ears could use the same treatment that Narp's got, D casts the same low-powered silence spell on Arthur's ears.

Unfortunately, this takes his attention away from the roasting rabbits, and one side of one of the rabbits gets slightly blackened. Fortunately, that's how Arthur ordered it.

D "Lunch is ready."

D quickly divides up the rabbits, giving Arthur the slightly blackened half.

Jack "So Arthur, where do you hail from?"

Arthur rolls over and comes to, awakened by the smell of blackened coney. Partially deafened by the silence spell, he barely catches Narp's question.

Arthur "Umm, yes, sort of. I sacrificed the speed portion for additional strength. Unfortunately, the increase in strength from such a method has an inverse square relationship to the duration of the spell--thus the sudden hangover. Fortunately, although the side effects are more intense than normal, they wear off sooner, probably soon after dinner."

Arthur "As for my place of origin, I would say here. At least, it used to be here, right under our feet (your feet, at least). Apparently, this mountain has taken over this real estate. I was climbing it in hopes of seeing something familiar. After using that strength spell, though, I was forced to take a faster mode of transportation to get here before the side effects kick in."

Arthur takes a massive bite of rabbit. "Say, this is just how I like it! Which one of you gents went to chef school, anyway? The only thing I like better is that bland apprentice-magician-produced stuff." He smacks his lips loudly. "You wouldn't happen to have a gallon or so of orange pekoe available to wash this down?" The remnants of the coney bones (some with teeth marks) are tossed into the fire.

Jack "We have slightly different variants then - my Version rides an adreniline rush; it Lasts until the target no longer feels immediately threatened or the caster cancels it, which makes it ideally suited for combat. The hangover occurs almost as soon as the target comes down off of it, and the duration of the hangover has no relationship to the duration of the spell, although the severity of the hangover does."

ooc:[It isn't as though there are a limited number of spells.]

Jack "You actually like that stuff? Well here."
When Jack moves as though he is handing something to Arthur; when he starts, his hand is empty. When he finishes, there is a grayish-white object about the size of a dinner plate in his hand.
Jack "Enjoy."

Jack "Sorry though - I've never heard of orange pekoe; I'm not from around here."

D "I'm the chef; just tell me if you want that deafening spell removed - It helped with Narp's hangover."
