"You incapable blademaiden!" I yelled at Shuri. "Tell L33tz4n to summon the Water Elemental!"
Shuri backhanded me. At long last, I finally had bruises on my head shaped like the hands of all three of my female companions!
"L33tz4n," Shuri said, "you know the drill."
"I'm on 1t," L33tz4n replied. She summoned a somewhat mighty Water Elemental and pushed over its cup. The elemental being poured into the water, and immediately the sea chucked Fooruman and the canoe back onto the pier. The old archmage coughed up a trout, then quickly got to his feet and ran to the canoe. He checked its pulse to make sure it was still alive. Apparently it was.
"I thought you would float," I explained.
"I never learned to swim," Fooruman said.
"Well, what about your canoe?"
"It never learned to swim, either."
