| Thief, Fighter, and Red Mage are walking away from the wreckage of the deathtrap
|
| Thief |
I have to say, Red Mage, that was an amazing escape.
|
| Fighter |
And how! I was there and I still don't believe something so ingenious could have been formulated so quickly.
|
| Fighter |
And it didn't kill any of us or anything!
|
| Red Mage |
Well, I make no claims to genius. I let those who see me in action do that.
|
| Fighter |
If that application of a Portable Hole, an Immovable Rod, a Bag of Holding, and an ice spell wasn't genius, then I don't know what is!
|
| Red Mage |
You flatter me. It'd be genius if I was able to extricate us without losing those items to the flames.
|
| Fighter |
Haven't you become less versatile now that you are without them?
|
| Red Mage |
The old Red Mage would have said that.
|
| Red Mage |
But then I had an epiphany while we were roasting alive.
|
| Fighter |
Elephanty? Is that like a pachyderm?
|
| Red Mage |
No, my stupid, stupid friend.
|
| Red Mage |
I merely realized that my reluctance to sacrifice spell slots or use items or the express purpose of maintaining my peak level of versatility was a vicious cycle of stagnation.
|
| Thief |
One cannot truly be versatile if one cannot adapt.
|
| Fighter |
So true.
|
| Red Mage |
It's the fortune cookie that changed my life.
|
| Fighter |
What should we do about BM?
|
| Red Mage |
Hm. Ironically, if we have a Portable Hole, an Immovable Rod, and a Bag of Holding, I could get him out of there in two rounds.
|
| Thief |
Now that's a shame.
|
| Fighter |
We could lure it away with a ruby.
|
| Red Mage |
No, you're thinking of titans. This is a giant. There's a big difference.
