find to a path in these overgrown woods. Every few paces he

arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his

as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring
and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.

@ "I will ascend! I will show everyone just how good a spellbookThe Book of Three lay closed on the table. Taran had never
been allowed to read the volume for himself; now he was sure
it held more than Dallben chose to tell him. In the sun-
filled room, with Dallben still meditating and showing no
sign of stopping, Taran rose and moved through the shimmering
beams. From the forest came the monotonous tick of a beetle.
His hands reached for the cover. Taran gasped in pain and
snatched them away. They smarted as if each of his fingers
had been stung by hornets. He jumped back, stumbled against
the bench, and dropped to the floor, where he put his fingers
woefully into his mouth.
Dallben's eyes blinked open. He peered at Taran and yawned
slowly. "You had better see Coll about a lotion for those
hands," he advised. "Otherwise, I shouldn't be surprised if
they blistered."

Yep, I'm afraid the punchline is somewhat recycled from yesterday.

Yeah. It's storyline buildup, I think.

Which doesn't change the fact that it's...not funny anymore.

The rating rainbow is so (placeholder) that I can't bear to mess it up.

Wellan's right, though. The sad thing is that it's still better than I could do.

I agree w/ Antheridium.....there are equal values in each category. How could one hope to achieve anything better?

lol, I pwned the rating rectangle

I say wait and see where the punchline goes.

Poor little orcOrcs, bipeds with a humanoid appearance, are related to the
goblins, but much bigger and more dangerous. The average orc
is only moderately intelligent, has broad, muscled shoulders,
a short neck, a sloping forehead and a thick, dark fur.
Their lower eye-teeth are pointing forward, like a boar's.
Female orcs are more lightly built and bare-chested. Not
needing any clothing, they do like to dress in variegated
apparels. Suspicious by nature, orcs live in tribes or
hordes. They tend to live underground as well as above
ground (but they dislike sunlight). Orcs can use all weapons,
tools and armours that are used by men. Since they don't have
the talent to fashion these themselves, they are constantly
hunting for them. There is nothing a horde of orcs cannot
use.

I'm trying to decide what rating to assign to this one...

Someone added an 'E' in the meantime. I am rating this one 'Poor' as a counterweight.

To show I'm not heartless, I give it an em. Nah, on second thought, an eff; it's mildly amusing.
