[WordSmith is drinking in the Guild pub a couple of days after the first
full moon following the Guild meeting. He is combing his very bedraggled
beard, and swearing at any elves that come to his attention. Any sympathetic
dwarves that ask will get this tale...]

We were walking along the slow portal from Elfenburg - you know, the safe
one that is a path through a swamp, takes 3 hours. We're escorting this
Brastor noble who is fated to lead her people from the darkness, blah blah
blah, standard vague stuff. Pooncey, as you would expect, and a Bard to
boot. The Dark Circle has noticed her, and we had already dealt with two
attempts to off her.

So there's this whistling sound, and a glowing red and black ball passes
overhead, and appears to land some ways ahead, out of sight. After a few
minutes, the undead show up. Melisand manages to fall into the swamp. I go
to help her out, she having the 'Black Flame' magical sword, just the thing
to deal to the skellies and what-not, plus whatever the column of flame is.
Bloody elf pulls me in too! Eventually I get my feet on the path, but the
dumb bint is holding my head under - by the beard!!! THEN she climbs out -
along me of course - and proceeds to get lashed by the hellfire whips.
Another elf has to grab the sword, while I put a couple of counters down,
then charge the thing. All but one of us end up unconscious, half in the
swamp. My weasel finished it off. Stinking elves! We even had to carry
Melisand's body out!

Then when we get back here the Security goons get all excited because the
'safe' portal doesn't seem so safe any more. 'Debrief' us for ages - I've
only just got the chance to straighten out my beard. Mine's a Old
Stronginthearm. Bloody elves!
