“High Sword!” – Berra
“Thword.” – Berra

“One pint and one half pint please, is how you start an argument here.” – Berra
“(Two halfpints would be more acccurate)” – Xenofos
“But the two halfpints both drink pints.” – Varanis

“And they have met three or four times.” – Berra

“(Dormal and Eril are agreeing on something. That can only be bad. Besides they are making sense…)” – Xenofos

“Nala, Berra’s looking like she needs to get out more.” – Berra
“@Berra you mean she needs to get in more and she’s left something in the spirit world… ((failed roll)” – Nala
“Heheheh.” – Berra
“That’s totally it.” – Berra
