maybe we could balance a door instead lol.

As for your question, miss gnome, maybe hand to hand combat is not for you, have you tried using a cross bow, or bow and arrow? Ranged attacks may come in handy.

Possibly learn an offensive spell or two, I could show you how to cast that one I used on the training dummie a minute ago, always hits, and does some damage too.

"Its not nice to talk about people when they arent around. I shutter to think what you might say about me," she replies to Ifritius with a naughty look

"Draven can practice more with me on his head, of course I did have to hang onto his horns!!!" she laughs her butt off.

I was merely making an observation, I meant nothing by what I said.

As I said I am willing, eventually I will still have a dagger! I realize this confronatation is about giving your best! I want to cause the enemy damage! I am not and will not be considered helpess, I know my gifts will develope, until then!

Cleo, may I see that quarter staff of yours for a moment?

Here you are sir. *She hands Barbus her staff.*

*Ifritius takes the staff, and sits down for a moment, you see him pull a magic stone out of his pouch, and with some unicorn's hair, affixes it to the end of the staff*

There you are, this stone is charged with "Magic Missile" you now have a magical weapon. All you have to do is point the staff at whom ever you are attacking and with a little concentration, a charge of "Magic Missile" will hit your opponant.

*The staff contains 5 charges per day, and will recharge on its own daily, does 2d6 damage*

I will have you try this out now *hands the staff back to Cleo, and casts "orb of protection" around himself.*

ok, now try and hit me. Do not worry, you won't hurt me at all.

oh, I almost forgot, any spell that requires concentration can be dispelled by a distraction, so if someone were to interrupt you while casting would be able to stop you from delivering the blow.

(( For those of you just tuning in, there are two characters being used here, so to spare you the confusion, is when Ifritius is speaking, and is when Barbus is talking.))

* Phara aims her staff and concentrates at casting a magic missle at Ifritius*

*the orb shimmers and the spell is absorbed*

Well done, just for reference, this was a training situation, had this been actual combat, your spell count would have gone down by one.

Oh thank you, Ifritius!!!! I no loner feel totally helpless!

You are quite welcome. If you'll excuse us, Barbus had asked me to help him this evening in preparing his new school, we shall return a little later.

*Para is quite pleased with her training session, she sits back at her seat, her face a glow with accomplishment!*

*walks through the door takes a look around*

Calliope bids her friends good bye.

"Good Evening, Heavenstone, Would you like a brew to wet your whisle. Im on my way to the kitchen, would you care for something to eat"

She looks over a Phara, "You have a fine staff now, you must be so excited." She droops her head down and hopes that her strength and swiftness will carry her through the training coming soon.

She has no other choice but to think positive and fight whoever comes her way so she picks her head and walks to the kitchen.

"Rathil, I do believe you have been very quiet all day!"

calliope a mead would be great

i herd you managed to get yourself looked in the celer are you well

"Im, fine. Can you imagine that. Of course I dont have any magic spells like everyone else, but I hold my own."she laughs.

"Here ya go sir, a fresh meade for you. What have you been up to? You dont stop in very often." she stands with her hand on her hip tapping the table..

Heatherstone drinks his brew as he sits back in his chair. "Let me tell you what I have been doing." he turns his head as she does his. The both heard a noise but cant figure out what it was...

Calliope returns to the converversation, " You were saying, sir?"

*Azareak walks in an sits at the bar* hello calliope.. feeling better I see
