// This one is interesting even though it is quite old - a bit
// unsure if PO Phaeniis minds or does not, if he minds
// it can be removed of course, I just liked it:

Phaeniis[elf] tells you in Common: So far I've only seen one boar that was scary, and it wasn't undead.
Hmmmmm.
You tell Phaeniis[elf] in Common: But it was mad.
Phaeniis[elf] grins amusedly.
Phaeniis[elf] says in Common: just a boar weighing about 710 kg, and about 160cm tall

// What kind of monster boar must that have been if you picture the height and weight!

// Wife vs. parrot, who wins? [Edited slightly.]

Selaina[human] tells Phaeniis[elf] in Common: You'd get annoyed by a wife?
Phaeniis[elf] tells Selaina[human] in Common: I won't have a wife anytime soon.
Selaina[human] tells Phaeniis[elf] in Common: What about a parrot! A parrot could feed you!

Geez Tanriel, how much fun could you possibly have had with this game? :) (Though I still don't get what all the rage is with squirrels is, IC or OOC alike).

Wait what!? Squirrels are a thing in magic? Half of me wants to say that Tanriel is right and squirrels are going to take over the world. But the rational half still knows they are just dumb animals. But it remains, squirrels have their own category in magic?! (Or are they just a generic green creature?) Anyway, I hope this is not too off-topic.

Technically they are not a type. If they were the card would read "Enchantment - Squirrel Aura". It's just the name of the card. Unsure about rules regarding specific targeting of cards by name. But it's not a "category" at least.

IN topic: Squirrels are dumb indeed.

It's good to know someone agrees with me about squirrels just being animals (but who am I to ruin someone Else's fun?). And thank you for letting me know squirrels are just one of the many creature ideas in magic.

Know a guy who had a squirrel themed swarm deck. It's a thing. Tokens. Everywhere.

That was a LOT of moments, Tanriel. Sheesh. Good stuff though.

The happy young male goblin says in Dark Speech: I do not know the
answer to that.

You slowly ponder the situation.

You talk quietly in Common: Oh... ropes?

Awrya[elf] nods thoughtfully.
Awrya[elf] says in Common: It was... amazing. For the few moments you were
actually juggling them.
You tell Awrya[elf] in Common: Why, thank you... I think I am better
juggling acorns and chestnuts though.
Awrya[elf] agrees.
Awrya[elf] says in Common: Though they might be a little too small to
juggle.

well.

exclaiming in shock: Yum.

Entrance hall of the Elvandar training school.

A closed wooden door leads north.
A closed wooden door leads south.
There is one obvious exit: west.
