Halk downed his share, and stooped to pick up a stone before something twigged in the back of his mind.
"Mophus?"
"Yes?" said the grinning priest grinning wider than normal, which was scary with or without teeth.
"That strength potion tasted creamy"
"Yes."
"Mophus?"
"Yes?"
"That potion?"
"Yes?"
"That...milky potion?"
"Yes?"
"That wasn't a strength potion, was it?"
"Not as such, no, though it does contain strengthening minerals," said the priest grinning wider.
"Mophus?" asked Halk further
"Yes?" replied the now over grinning priest
"That potion..."
"Yes?"
"That wasn't exactly a strength potion... "
"Yes?"
"That...milky potion..."
"Yes?"
"That milky potion...that was bat's milk, wasn't it?"
Stamm had been chugging away and did a spit take. "Bat's milk???!!!" cried Stamm.
"What?" asked Mophus with an innocent grin, "you don't really need strength here, do you, you want to be able to see the target!"
"Wait a minute," said Stamm turning to Halk, "how do you know what bat's milk tastes like?"
Halk had the comon decency to look embarrassed. "What, you never been under Stonekeep and really, really bored before?"
To avoid the gaze of Stamm, Halk went back to picking up stones, and tried to visualise the further distance in the tunnel, and the obvious lever in the wall.
