The Notice

The next morning Caramon and Raistlin smelled a good scent coming from deep within the cave. Caramon asked, "What's the smell?" "How am I supposed to kn- where's Tasslehoff?" Raistlin inquired. Their answer came quickly, "POOF!" "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Raistlin my hand, Hey... my hand isn't on fire..." Tass yelled. "My flash power..."Raistlin moaned, "But still what's that smell?" Caramon asked as he moved deeper within the cave. Tasslehoff stood over a spit roasting two rabbits and his little knife was in his hand. "Hullo, Caramon. I killed two ferocious rabbits in the morning. Then I saw a little pouch that Raistlin must've left on the floor. I dropped it and then a big bang blew up on my hand. I thought it was on fire. Now there's some big green thingy on my hand." Tass said with apparent wonder. Caramon went and got Raistlin to eat a little bit of Tasslehoff's cooking. Caramon ate a whole rabbit and Tass and Raist shared one. After eating they moved on sending Tass up to scout reminding him constantly to keep on track. Then they heard incessant talk and all the voices had little squeaky voices like Tass's. "Uhhhh... Raist," Caramon said, "What?" Raistlin asked with clear irritation in his voice. "Let's hide." Caramon requested. "That's the most sensible thing I've heard anybody say today." Raist said with a voice that matched the coldness of ice. They jumped off the road and saw that Tass's friends left taking Tass with them. "They kendernapped Tass!" Caramon yelled to Raist. "He'll be back before nightfall Caramon so don't be worried." Raistlin whispered. Raistlin was right, that very night Tass returned a little drunk and not even wearing the same clothes, but, he was happy. "Hi...hi guys." Tass slurred his voice. "PLOP!" Tass fell onto the hard ground snoring. Raist and Caramon found a notice on the ground that said "Mercenaries Wanted to join the great army of Khamar Bloodbringer. Pay is 50 steel a month." "Let's join." Raistlin said. "What about Tass?" Caramon asked with a yawn. "Let him go to Kendermore." Raistlin decided. "Okay..." Caramon flopped on the ground snoring. 'What a bunch of fools...' was Raistlin's last thought before he went to sleep.
