Marcon Astoro, human fighter https://dicecloud.com/character/Qx3hgYABZ3ATj4bh9/Marcon-Astoro They had rented rooms at The Magister's Mark, a public house popular with students and wizards in Innarlith. It had been a long day. If they were being honest, it had been almost a year of long days. And even in the best times, they were not prone to restraint. "Don't insult me with this work!" "What am I doing wrong?!" "Everything! These summoning circles wouldn't corral a dretch. Disgraceful." "Do you ever get tired of insulting me?" Lilandra Astoro, called Lilandra Riddler for her confoundig abjurations, pinched the bridge of her nose and looked wearily at her nephew. "Marcon, I know you can do this. These diagrams are simple, if you would just apply yourself. If you didn't waste so much time on fencing manuals and waving swords around -" "It isn't a waste of time!" "It's a waste of MY time. Your parents apprenticed you to me. Your intellect and effort are tools I must hone. But it seems I overestimated your capacity in those regards." "You are such a bitch!" "Don't be a child!" "Don't tell me what to do!" "I am your master! You will do what I say!" "Wrong on both counts!" A rushed gathering of belongings. A slammed door.
