A New Lead

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6141

".........who?" asked Fred. The blacksmith rolled his eyes.

"Xsorthiusazahxsaidrldeum. I suppose you could call him Xsorthius, but then you'd get him confused with his two brothers, Xsorthiusrinuzaawaki and Xsorthiusazapineoledden. Anyway, he's an enchanter by trade, lives at the other end of the village next to the graveyard. Used to do a bit of adventuring in his heyday. He's retired now, but he's always on the lookout for people to go collect spell components for him. If anyone knows of dragon-killing magic, it'll be him."

"Then I shall away from this establishment with all haste, and sally forth to the abode of this mage Xzorthius!" exclaimed Fred dramatically. He turned and pulled at the door behind, but it was locked! A trap! Fred spun around to face his captor, sword unsheathed in a single gracious movement. "Deceiver!" cried Fred, swishing his sword back and forth in the face of the smithy. "Thou be in thrall with the dragon? What price did the scaly demon offer for your treachery, eh? Eh?"

The blacksmith blinked several times. "Er......you push the door, mate."

Fred blinked several times. "........right. Of course."

Fred returned to the door and pushed it slightly, whereupon it swung open with near biblical aplomb. As he stepped out into the street, a nearby woman screamed in horror, and Fred looked down in time to notice a headless dog collapse at his feet. He decided to stop swinging his sword around and sheathe it. Luckily, the dog he had just decapitated wasn't the one he had been pursuing in the Southern Caves. He wandered through the village towards Xzorthius' home.

  1. Fred reached the home of Xsorthius without incident.
  2. Before Fred could reach his destination, he was stopped by the town guard.
  3. Suddenly, Fred spotted the dog that had attacked him twice in the caves, and gave chase!
