Be Careful What You Pick Up

The barbarian held up the bone wand. "Got the wand!" He grinned.

"And what about the necromancer?"

The barbarian pointed at the wand.

The elf screwed up his eyes to try and take his mind off the concussion he probably had. "Where is the necromancer?"

The barbarian pointed at the wand.

"Wait? The wand is the necromancer?"

"Uh huh."

"So, you're holding the necromancer's wand?" This was simply not going together in the elf's mind.

"No. Wand is necromancer"

"So why are you holding it?"

"It wanted me..." Suddenly the barbarian slumped as his flesh fell away from his bones."

Wow, that's dead clever Jeff! Wonderful and unexpected. :-)

You can thank the latest trailer for Netflix's "Bright" movie (Which is basically Shadowrun in the present day instead of the future) for this one ;) Plus, never trust anyone who's out to "Make" friends ;)

Doh! Very sorry Neville, I didn't say thank you!

It's been a rough few days. Migraine and cold battling it out for supremacy (Migraine won by the way)

No worries Jeff. Sorry to hear about the migraine. I don't generally suffer with them myself, but the odd time I have it's been awful. Hope you're better now, although if the cold was like the one I had recently it might do an Arnie, and be back. Hope not though.

Thanks Neville. Glad you're feeling better too 😊
