Fred talks to the man
From Thread 1
"Excuse me, kind sir," says Fred. "I am Lord Fred."
"Hello Lord Fred." says the old man. "My name is Belboz, the necromancer."
"Necromancer? Do you do magic?"
"Yes, I do. For a reasonable fee, I can do any magic that I know. Other magic will have to wait until I can finish studying this tome."
"Cool!" says Fred. "How reasonable?"
"Depends on how much effort it takes me to cast a spell." comes Belboz's reply.
Fred thinks for a minute and asks the necromancer...
- To cast a spell that would protect him from a dragon's breath.
- If he would be willing to accompany Fred on his mission to defeat the dragon.
- For directions to the Dragon.
- To upgrade his sword.
- To guide him.
- If he can create a spell to kill the dragon from here.
- To turn him into a dragon to properly fight the dragon.
- To change him into a giant to step on the dragon.
- To give someone to help in his quest.
- To use his magic to get him far away from the dragon.
- What the best way to kill a dragon actually is.
- To conjure up a cheese sandwich.
- To summon up Ranma Saotome to do the fighting for him.
- If he can buy a Summoning Scroll.
