The Pub

Speedy and Krezack were talking. "So you thought you had killed defalcon and then he got up and chopped your ears off. Then he broke your sword," Krezack said. "Right," Speedy replied, "and I don't care about the sword, I'll hack another one in. I can't believe what that green potion did to me." "Maybe it was mouthwash and it got you so drunk you became the imaginary Shadow Warrrior thingie."

"Gee, now let's not ruin the fun, I mean, it's a video game, Krezack."

"Oh, and BTW, speaking of hacking in a sword, you wouldn't mind if I stepped out a minute? My ninja suit is bloody, and the green never went with the pinkish fur. I'm thinking blue," Speedy added as he left the pub.

He changed, and came back in.

"Krezack, we have to double-team against defalcon," Speedy said. "I saw what he did to you, I'm not fighting him," Krezack replied. "He did that because I wasn't watching and I left him only supposedly dead," Speedy explained. "I'll teach you some of my fighting moves and give you some green potion," Speedy added to sweeten the deal. "Okay, but if one of us gets our ears ripped off, someone *cough* is going to get his head slammed against an oak tree," Krezack replied.

Defalcon looked up as he sat near a pond healing his bruises. Two shadowy mists crept in the creek. "Ready, Krezack?" Speedy asked. "Sure." Speedy then kicked out of the water, landing on defalcon. Krezack soon followed.
