Oh So Now You Want My Help

"But then you killed Ted and we really liked Ted." We were being lectured at by the leader of the bandits (a rather fat guy with the worst armor made up of what appeared to be loose pots and pans, he was also wielding a rather large shotgun, probably why he was in charge). They had tied us up after we had ran out of the burning sherriff's station (which was still burning, thankfully it was by itself so it wouldn't spread to another building thus wiping the town out despite my efforts not to do that). They had tied us to a fence post probably intent on burning us to death (To be treated like a common witch, the shame, the SHAME!), but before then they felt the need to TALK US TO DEATH!

"Are these guys bandits or are friends, he's still talking." I was purturbed, Nidget and Andre seemed a bit more afraid of the situation.

"Trezlan get us out of this."

"I mean its like these aren't bandits, their friendits." I was trying to figure why they kept talking, I mean I talk a lot, but thats to delay a murder, not in advance of one. This guy was just jabbering on and on.

"Trezlan!"

"How am I going to get us out of this?"

"Use your magic!"

"You said I can't, said it would get us in trouble, also talk louder I don't think they heard you." I realize its hilarious for me to say that to someone else but that is me.

"This is true Nidget you did say he shouldn't use his magic."

"Well I meant that when it didn't look like we were going to get burned to death."

"... And so I feel bad about this, but you have to die, even though we didn't want to kill you as I previously said." The tubby bandit finished his speech and I yawned. He was seriously boring me to death, I figure he didn't even need fire, just a couple more hours of talking. So in the interest of excitement I ignited our ropes and freed ourselves, which really just put us in danger of getting shot to death, something I'm sure Nidget hadn't really factored in to what with us BEING FREAKING SURROUNDED!  But alas as most things Nidget, he wasn't thinking beyond the initial freedom bit.  So how did we survive? Well you'll have to read tomorrow's entry obviously.
