Tidgemo 64 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Chubb spat into his palms and rubbed his caloused hands together as he preparred to launch out the ol' beauty he called.. 'Beauty', into the River Reden in preparation for the race. He jumped into the tattered canvas and tar skinned boat and then, while whistling an old tune, rowed away into the blanket of morning fog. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook 71 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ripplewick skim reads the flyer. 'Boat race, rowing, very good... f-five hundred minas!?' *** An hour later and he's standing upon the edge of the Talon's Port docks, looking down upon his seaweedy old rowboat. It was cold, and his ears were aching. 'I've rowed to Elvenesse and back, in this thing,' he thunk to himself. 'Now it'll be my ticket to riches.' He leapt down into the rowboat, impacting with a 'K'bonk!'. Immediately, the vessel began to drift away, but far worse, it also started to sink. With the dock too far gone to save himself, Ripplewick stared at the huge hole he'd been too lazy to fix, helpless as he and the boat sank diagonally a few feet away from the dock, looking like a defiant castaway atop a melting iceberg. Once the soggy wizard had pulled himself onto land again, and finished his shivering and self pity, he thought that all in all things had gone as well as they usually do. He marks the date in his dripping pocketbook. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
