The grumpy old wizard stepped into the crowded tavern.

“Move!” he barked. There was blue light dancing between his fingers.

The crowd parted: orcs, goblins and barbarians left him a clear path to the bar.

“Let me get you the house special,” said the savvy bartender.

She presented him with a steaming mug that let off a pleasant scent. “Why don’t you sit down, take a load off?” she said.

Two regulars hastily left a table and the wizard sat down and tentatively tasted the drink.

“Did you give him extra strong ale?” asked a goblin.

“No, I reckon he’d be a mean drunk. Just a mild sedative. The #spice masks the taste.”

The wizard was leaning back on his chair, gently snoring, with a rare smile.
