The Paladin slowly recovers from the blast from the lightning wand. He can smell his burnt nose hairs. He watches as the young elf girl and the armorered chicken fall ito the water then struggle back into the boat.He can finally find his voice.
"Prithee,young elf.."
"Uh what?",mumbles Skye.
"I perceive that thou art of good heart,and hast the best wishes of thy comrades foremost in your thoughts."
"Ummm...well.."
"Therefore I know that thou wouldst not burden us nor place us in mortal peril."
"Errr..."
"And that thou will willingly and with light heart submit to our ministrations to remove yon accursed brooch from your person." With that he reached into his back pack and pulled free a pair of vicious and somewhat rusty pincers,commonly used to remove nails from horses hooves.
"Agghhhh!!",yelps Skye leaping to her feet and being pursued about the boat by the Paladin and an armored chicken.
