The Misadventures of the Missed Adventurers

[Jack Simth]

"A book of Mastery? It is worth much trouble to obtain such a tome. And yes, I would prefer such a tome over the sphere, as the sphere would hamper my own movement, which I consider very valuable."

"As for the golem, subtlity wasn't needed; we were herded here, so you already knew we were coming. The stealth of a subtle attack would have been quite pointless. However, the speed of a noisy solution was useful. Wisdom lies in knowing which tool is most appropriet to the situation."

Jack stops speaking, and thinks:

ooc:[For those of you having migranes, that is perfectly sensible. Jack's strange (if you haven't noticed) and doesn't think in a manner compatible with mind reading (so the mage can't read Jack's mind). For those of you who don't want to take the time to puzzle it out, a translation can be found here. But that's cheating!]

ooc:[YES! Of course he does! He has a lot to say! ]
ooc:[Seriously though, how many specialists don't have a lot to say when they are talking about some fine point of their specialty? Jack's specialty just happens to be magic and energy.]
ooc:[Also, even if Jack does get a good book on planar travel, he may very well need a different reference to be able to find the right plane to go to.]
