A Shortage of Mana

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 81636

Adele only had the robe that she was wearing. Fred said that he had a spare set of underwear in his pack. "I'd only worn it for a week before swapping it for my other set," he said. Astra shuddered and politely declined.

"Can't you magic me up some clothing?" Astra asked Adele.

"Doing magic uses up mana, which takes time to recharge," Adele said. "I used up most of mine in saving Fred from the avatar of the dragon that appeared when he tried to free you with his sword. But even when I've fully recharged, I think that I should keep most of my mana in reserve in case we run into something nasty. As I said, the dragon will be aware of us now. I'm sorry about the cold, but so long as we keep moving it should be tolerable."

  1. The subject is dropped. Fred wonders if they oughtn't to turn round and go in search of more allies. "Belboz said that I could find people who would help me in my quest to kill the dragon," he says. "But we're just running away."
  2. Seeing Astra's disappointed look, Adele says: "Perhaps I could spare one point of mana. But all you'll get for that is the teensiest pair of panties. The sort of outfit that you're probably used to would take at least 20 points."
  3. Seeing Astra's disappointed look, Adele says: "Perhaps I could spare two points of mana. But all you'll get for that is the teensiest bikini."
  4. The cold of the caverns ceases to be a problem as a cross-passage is filled with dragon flame.
