GC: Could you stop that? You're already scared the pet zoo animals... GR: Goddess, this is not fair... I've been cursed by your High Priestess and I did nothing wrong! GC: And you called me over this? Look, she's still learning the ropes on spells and chants... She needs to practice! You just were at the wrong place at the wrong time... but then again, you're a bard . I'm sure she had a good reason though. GR: What? First I get turned into a pigeon by an evil force ... GC: GR: ARGH!! Er, I mean I get turned into a pigeon and then an evil force tries to kill me... GC: Let me remind you that it was MY statue what she was after... I'm glad she's toast GR: Well, the point is that it seems that all magic in New Cirra is trying to get me one way or the other... GC: Before this goes any further... could you tell me just what kind of spell she put on you?? GR: She jinxed me... my curse are typos! GC: I can't believe I'm wasting my time this way... GR: Goddess! For a bard a typo can be lethal... If I can't write stories, who will ... GC: Melissa, Leicky, Darth... GR: Er... what I mean is, who will write them for me? Look, does "blowing wing" or a three-armed bard strike you as you? GC: Why yes! Oh Cal, she's precious... I bet she did this just to cheer me up. GR: Goddess please! I can't write anything until this curse dissapears! Please, PLEASE!! GC: Let go of my leg!! Paramedics... 45 minutes... you know the drill... GC: Look, you're lucky I'm in a great mood, not thanks to you of course, so I'll consider removing the course... GR: Oh why is that? GC: Oh, nothing ... well, gotta go! ================== Yippie!! No typos on this skit!! :-P I guess I'll get to keep my Bard's licence after all! Ten aka Griller The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily.
