Tin Tan lounged happily in the fireplace watching his master. The Mountain Elf, Ivellios Tharanaian, Heir to the Griffon House, Wizard of Draiocht, Follower of Tine and Protector of Woodhaven, was impatiently explaining the finer points of evocation magic under battle conditions to his new apprentice Khranen. Again. Khranen seemed to be quite talented, his master had grudgingly admitted but he could be quite obtuse on occasion.


Over the past few days they had all been cooped up in the library or busily conducting magical experiments in Joe's lab. Tin Tan loved the alchemy lab, things were always blowing up or burning down and it was always filled with smoke. Great! His master and the apprentice had both managed to discover several new spells with Tin Tan's help. He knew that they needed him for research, because he was the best character in the village, so he agreed not to burn anything in the library. Pity that, books burned so well. Tin Tan had been urging his master to learn more fire magic. Tin Tan loved fire magic. He couldn't have the druid knowing more about spells than his master. That wouldn't do. After all, he was the best character in the village!

They all heard the commotion of a battle outside. A roaring, like the bellow of a bull alligator pierced the quiet of the village. Mage Armor. Shield. The two spells were cast before his master considered doing anything. Tin Tan made sure to scurry to his side to be included in the magic. The apprentice tried to follow suit but the Mage Armor spell fizzled as he miscast it. They all moved into the street to see who was attacking the village this time.

It was quiet. A wyvern has been slain by the others and there were no other threats to be seen. The distant sounds of bickering over tactics and the oily sounds of a wyvern's stomach being opened drifted over to his keen elven ears. He could sense his master's disgust at the waste of two good spells as they all returned to the library. Tin Tan busied himself by experimenting with the effects of mage armor and shield spells on an ash rat familiar in a fireplace, while Ivellios took Khranen to task for miscasting under pressure. Tin Tan decided that he would one day write an arcane discussion on force and fire effects on magical beasts. It would be a great work. After all, he was the best character in the village.
