[Elfsea] Evening activties

[pcrandal at sbcglobal.net]

You mean we could get the old brute squad to
kidnap those who walk by and duct tape them
beside the fire? How fun. 
We have not done that in years. 
I recall the time that an attack bard brought a
guitar to a Viking story circle. We didn't tape
him too tightly, and he thanked us for the
entertainment, much later.
