But I have a good job. I left my home, looking for fortune and I was recruited by a traveling company of adventurers. And what a company! Lord Arnoldus the Proud is the greatest warrior I ever see. Tall, strong, charming. His long blonde hair falls over his silver breastplate. His tough arms has strangled many black bear. Merlinest the Wizard is a powerful magician, ready to make the most incredible spells. I see Merlinest transform an annoying orc in a colorful butterfly, only with a click of his fingers. Slip the Slipper is the most agile, fast and clever soldier in this continent. He have the speed of a Cheetah, the inteligence of a fox and the eye of an eagle. (In fact, he is also as ugly as a monkey). They are the best of the best, and I am proud to serve them. But, there is a little thing I can't understand, an strange behaviour that surprise me. Every time we enter a city, my masters went crazy. Lord Arnoldus the proud sits in the marketplace, grabs some kind of mud, and begin to make clay pots while cry: "The bests! I have the bests!", with a noisy voice. Merlinest the Wizard jumps over a barrel and begins to sell what he call "The Miracolous Elixir of Wonderful Doctor Ephestus", assuring that cures all the conceivable illness and, at same time, returns the voice to the dumb, the vision to the blind and the hair to the bald. And Slip the Slipper begins to throw a pair of tricky dice, while crying: "Play for money!", trying to lighten the villager pockets. My masters are the bests in the world, but I can't understand him.
