"And as for you, gray-head, you’d better make sure you’ve got us covered magically. If Raoul’s in town he bound to have some poxy combat mage or two in tow, and what those guys can do isn’t pretty.

One of us will stick real close to catch you if you drain-and-drop, but you give any heavy spell you need every ounce of juice or we could be fragged senseless."
