“New royal proclamation,” growled the dwarf. “Seems adventurers are the scourge of civilization. AGAIN.”
“Oh?”
“All existing charters revoked. All adventurers to report to a royal guardpost by sundown tomorrow, and to refrain…#epic fantasy

…from all adventuring activities until then. No weapons drawn, accept no new work—”
“What if we get attacked? Surely self-defense still applies!”
“It does, but there’s an express warning not to trust in it to escape…#epic fantasy …‘rightful justice.’”
“Hunh,” said the barbarian. “Good thing I can’t read, so I don’t know any of this.”
“That won’t work. Not now they’ve posted it.”
“Well, we’ll UNpost it. All over town. Come on!”
“Where?”
“To catch the…#epic fantasy

…guards putting up the proclamation notices. Put on these masks.”
“Masks? Why?”
“Because right now we’re not adventurers, we’re lawless brigands, see?”
“I don’t think the king sees a difference!”
“YET.”#epic fantasy

The priest said he could see me tomorrow
To give bright guidance and banish my sorrow
But tomorrow’s too late
By then dragon hunger will be “dragon ate”
And the bits of me it can’t digest
Will be crapped out in its lair with all the rest

I’m all airs and graces, daring gowns and tight laces
That make men’s eyes forget where my face is
I’m Bel, Bel, come straight here from Hell

One more eternal flames to bon-bons tale, you know
Now the king himself ‘knows’ me, that’s why the Queen loathes me

“It’s GOT to be a pirate ship. Black sails, no flag…pirates.”
“You really think a pirate’s going to be that obvious? It’s probably some timid merchant who wants us all to THINK he’s a pirate, so we’ll leave him alone.”#epic fantasy

“No timid merchant is going to fly BLACK sails. Not unless he’s so timid he’s a smuggler, har har. So we have to assume it’s a pirate ship, and flee like hell!”
“Look, they’re hailing us! White flag on a stick, and waving… …all frantic!”
“That’s no pirate, you dolts, it’s a PLAGUE ship! Have a look, through the spyglass! LOOK at them, along the rail!”
“I am. Not plague victims, though I’ll grant they may be POST-plague victims. Yon are undead.”#epic fantasy

“Undead! UNDEAD! FLEEEEE!”
“No, wait, LOOK! The woman on the end, watch her! She waves, she shoves a potion down the face of one of the undead, and they come back to life! Elixir of Life, that is! It’s a POTION SELLING SHIP! “I’m getting dizzy…well, we’ve wasted too much time and she’s overhauling us now. Hey, lady, you a potion seller? You know, good, fair, SAFE?”
“No, I’m a necromancer. And YOU…are doomed!”

Here comes the bard who’s always sad
For her loves are all dead, and it’s driven her mad
The castle walls are white with frost
In all its shadows lurk old banes
Gone now all summers; long, long lost
For we bide deep in winter’s chains

“For whosoever draweth the sword from this stone shall henceforth be rightful king of all Glorath!”
“I can read inscriptions too, Beldur. What it doesn’t say is what to do if a slithering monster drew the sword and then…#epic fantasy …ATE it. Then what?”
“Uh…then we go ask the oracle.”
“Same monster ate the oracle. Darned clever monsters think of everything, these days.”
“Then the monster will make a good king, yes?”

“Well,” said the old dragon, “if you break the castle apart, you can get at the last few humans deep inside. But no new humans will come to live there. Just a few nasty, heavily-armed adventurers will visit. Fleetingly.”#epic fantasy

“So you’re saying I should leave it intact, for a later harvest?” the young dragon asked, peering in castle windows to see if he could see any snacks cowering in corners. “How many years does it take for it to repopulate?”#epic fantasy“Well,” said the old dragon loudly, in human speech, “that treasure has to be around here SOMEwhere. Biggest hoard I’VE ever seen.”
When the echoes had died away, he reverted to dragontongue to add quietly, “Now? Not long.”#epic fantasy
