Another Day, Another Curse(d Item)

by Alpert L Pine

Overview

Magnus is an adventuring warrior. As such, there are two things he loves more than anything: wenches, ale, and loot. Okay, three things.

Unfortunately, the warrior has been having some bad luck lately. He keeps finding cursed items. Strange and rare and oftentimes dangerous artifacts with effects ranging from the merely annoying to the dreadfully debilitating. Magnus loves loot, hates to get rid of anything, and now he's collected so many cursed items, their effects are beginning to cancel one another out.

Only this time, he's stumbled across his deadliest cursed item yet (a dagger imploring him to kill—everyone!), and so he has journeyed far to visit his magic-user friend, Andre. Can the mage assist Magnus? Will this be the end for the adventuring warrior, or will Andre be able to help him? Preferably by pointing the way to another item to cancel out this most recent, troublesome artifact. Magnus loves loot, and it is a very fine dagger . . .

A humorous tale of the fantastic. Approximately 2000 words.
