"Well, do you have a better plan, Red?", Themp asks, nonchalantly. In a stride, he picks up the torch and crosses the door. "Howdy, folks." he addresses the walking nightmares.
Themp feels way over his head. Pocket dimensions, actual elementals, teachable death traps, millennia-old souls. And worst of all, his quest to maybe restore the city streets to his, in retrospect rose-tinted, teenage not-so-much-glory days, the quest of his life, basically, has apparently unleashed the evilest of wizards back into the world. "Figures...", he says to himself aloud, moping off to a corner. He doesn't feel like much use in this conversation anyway. Unironically, but not very confidently, he addresses Beorae. "Thanks for the boost, Red. I feel much better now." Sliding down the wall into seating, he dwells once more in his thoughts. A wizard! My best weapon is a bow and arrows. I'm dragging these two behind... What am I supposed to do with a simple bow and arrows against a powerful wizard? ... Hang on. Simple? "Red" he addresses Beorae again. "You were right next to me on my last shot. Did you... Uh... Did you hear my bow... sing?"
"Hah!" Bursts out Themp from his reverie. "So Olp and the tiger? I'm pretty sure Shark will bite him, you wacky peacekeeper. Anyway... I'm pretty sure we can fit more people there if we upgrade this dingy boat a bit. Here, let me draw it out so you can give me a hand." The city-boy then proceeds to sketch out his plan so the others can aid.
Groggily approaching the breakfast table, Themp greets everyone. "Well, I do feel kind of weird, but I barely remember last night, so I guess alcohol must've been involved. And sure, I know you'll treat a gift from Her with care."
I like how the feat doesn't make it explicit there is no penalty at all. "without taking the standard –4 penalty" "No, sir, you get the Extra Fiesta Bonus Penalty (trademark pending) of -10 if the sun is up and -15 if the sun is down but your mother has forgotten to hang the clothes to dry out overnight."
Wait, we're supposed to know history now?
