The Wiz walls into a Tavern ….

[Phineas J. Pennefeather]

From the closed back door of the Watering Hole's main tap room, you hear a crash.

You can hear a voice outside apologize to the door.

"Sorry man!!"

The door opens. The Wizard, known as the Wiz, walks into the Inn, known as the Watering Hole Tavern.

"Hey, man!" sez the Wiz, to whoever is there. "Are you the dude that can make a White Imperial?"

The Wiz sits himself down near the fireplace and stares around licking his lips, hoping that somebody will bring him his favourite beverage.

"Hey man, have you guys seen my friend Val-dar? You know, a big guy with a great big sword?"

He looks around, not seeing his friend, then he adds "How's the Earth Circle doin' man?"

[Torvallis!]

Torvallis! looks up from the rat they're skinning.

"Er, no, no, and I guess it's doing okay because it looked the same last time I checked on it as it always does when I check on it?

I don't really care about earth magic to be honest"

[Timmean]

Several minutes later, Timmean walks in, leaning on his staff. Glancing around, he nods at The Wiz, giving him a brief "Hello; welcome back." Sitting on a bench, Timmean hangs his head and sighs, appearing a little disappointed. Suddenly, his face starts to brighten up. Glancing back at The Wiz, his mouth splits into a wide grin as he exclaims, "Hang on... The Wiz! Welcome back! I realize this a bit abrupt, but... can you help me strengthen my earth magic?"

[Phineas J. Pennefeather]

The Wiz looks aghast at the fire mage mutilating the giant rodent and shakes his head.

"Whatever, man. Do your own thing. Lord Earth isn't about judging, man!"

The Wiz turns his attention to the injured local.

"Wow, man! What happened to you????"

The Wiz moves to a position where he can take a good look at Timmean.

"Sure man, Lord Earth wants me to spread the word. But, I really have to look you over first."

[Timmean]

Timmean nodded slowly; "Certainly. I had a rather unpleasant run-in with a void mage; I came out with a broken arm and shattered knee. Our medics did an excellent job putting things back together, even made me a metal replacement kneecap. After that, my healing magic could take care of the rest. But it still doesn't feel quite right."

[Phineas J. Pennefeather]

"What a bummer, man!"

The Wiz looks him over, then gets momentarily distracted by the lack of a creamy alcoholic beverage. Eventually he re-focuses upon Timmean.

"So, man, are you really interested in getting to know Lord Earth and his gifts, even more than you know now?"

The Wiz brushes his hand past Timmean's arm, likely touching him in passing.

[OOG: What is the highest tier of Earth power that your character has?]

[Torvallis!]

A squeak suddenly comes from Torvallis!'s sleeve. They had been busy serving themselves from behind the bar. After lifting their sleeve level with their face and nodding for a few moments, they whisk some ale with some cream and bring it over in front of The Wiz.

"Cream Ale? Not a White Imperial, but you might like it"

[Phineas J. Pennefeather]

The Wiz takes a long look at Timmean's state of health.

"Man, you have really gotta start takin' care of yourself, you know what I mean? The good thing, is though, that being one with the Earth really helps bring that healing and healthy living thing out of you."

The Wiz folds his legs under himself, in a lotus/meditational position, and places his hands face up on his knees. The Wiz nod to TImmean, to indicate that he should do the same.

"You gotta try to relax, man. Let that negative vibration stuff just drain away from you and let the Power of Lord Earth fill you back up again, man. You know, like this."

The eccentric Earth Mage begins to hum softly to himself; at peace with himself and the world around him.

[Timmean]

Raising his eyebrows slightly and chuckling to himself, Timmean slips his feet under him and closes his eyes, mimicking The Wiz's position. He speaks quietly; "Thank you; I really appreciate this. I've been trying to perfect my connection with the earth, but I've been a little shaken since that encounter."

(OOG: I'm at tier 4, looking to get to tier 5. Sorry for the delay; I saw Torvallis's post and didn't notice yours before it)

[Phineas J. Pennefeather]

"Hey, no problem man!" sez the Wiz. "That's what I'm all about man: makin' it easy for folks to be one with the Earth!"

[OOG: If you continue to hang with the Wiz on the boards a little, I will sign your sheet, in person, for Earth Tier 5! Remember this only counts if I physically write with a pen on your sheet and sign my names, or if the AD approves in writing!]

[Timmean]

Timmean nods, taking a few deep breaths and joining in meditation. "Excellent; thank you."

[Phineas J. Pennefeather]

Except for a soft humming, the Wiz appears to be fast asleep. However, after a fairly long pause he opens one eye.

"No problem, man!"

With that, a detailed understanding and appreciation of the knowledge of the powers of the Earth pass from one mage to another.

[Timmean]

Timmean's eyes suddenly snap open as the knowledge passes into him. He stares blankly forward for a few moments, thinking, then lifts his eyes to stare at The Wiz; "Thank you, that was amazing... How did you do that?!?"
