They turned to see the bent figure of an old man standing in the
doorway. “Bwuhahahaha!” he bwuhahahahad. “I am none other than the man
you snuck past in episode 8!” Fred readied himself for a possible attack, this man looked like a typical wizard. Or perhaps, even worse, an insurance salesman. “What’s so funny?” he demanded. “I was just thinking about this joke someone told me yesterday,” the phlegmatic old man explained. “It goes like this: When in prison, how can you tell if your cell mate is gay?”Fred pondered this age old question. “I dunno, how?” “Their @!*% tastes like !@%$!”Fred cringed. “That’s disgusting! Even with the naughty words bleeped out!” The man shrugged with indifference. “Sooo...watchya guys doooooin’?”“We’re slaughtering orcs,” Artemis beamed, pointing at the corpses strewn about the room. “Well...I’m slaughtering orcs. Fred here just stood around gawking.” “Hey!” Fred protested. “I killed that one orc!”The old man seemed slightly disappointed. “You killed them all, huh? Sad. They weren’t the best neighbors I’ve ever had, but around here, they definitely weren’t the worse. They probably said they wanted to ‘bleed you’, right?” Fred and Artemis nodded solemnly.“That’s just their way of getting to know you. It’s like dogs sniffing each other’s butts, or with us humans, shaking hands. It’s this kind of cultural ignorance that starts wars. Oh well, what’s done is done.” “What’s done is done,” Fred agreed, finishing off one of the orcs that was still clinging on to life, despite it’s mortal wounds. It took several skull crushing blows, but eventually it quit twitching.“So I suppose you’re on some kind of Quest to slay the dragon, huh?” the old timer rightly guessed. “You guess rightly,” said Fred.“You wouldn’t need the services of a mage on said quest, would ya?” “Nope. We don’t like mages. Or Jews. Or minorities. Or Frenchmen. Or investment bankers. Or...”“Well, do you have a good life insurance policy?” “I knew it!” Fred raged, charging the obvious salesman. “Prepare to meet your doom, foul peddler of insurance!”
