THIS IS OFFICIAL LORE THIS IS NOT A JOKE BUT IT IS A JOKE AND IS ALSO LORE

Wizard #4104 stoked the fire. The soup was almost ready. Wizard #239 had just come back to camp with more firewood, whistling to himself. The Buffkin Plains were serenely quiet that evening.

"Have I ever told you my favorite joke of all time?" asked Wizard #239.

Wizard #4104 looked up from the fire and scrunched his nose but also smiled.

"I don't believe so..."

Wizard #239 sat down beside the other wizard and the fire.

"So, I was down in the Bugbear Boonies, and I have a few friends in that neck of the woods, and the most unintentionally hilarious thing happened - a couple of them started getting into an argument about feats of daring, and they kept trying to outdo each other by boasting about what they would do, then go do it, and so on..."

Wizard #239 stopped a moment to taste-test the squashelly soup Wizard #4104 was cooking up. He makes the sign of the Italian rune with his hands as he relishes the taste.

"So, they were arguing and boasting a bunch back and forth, and then this one pointed off in the distance about how he'd jump off this one cliff they all knew about. The others hushed for a moment, but then one bugbear in the back of the crowd yelled dismissively "'He's lying, it's a bluff!'"

Wizard #239 just continued looking at Wizard #4104 and saying nothing, grinning.

The fire, crackling. The soup, gently bubbling.

Wizard #4104 narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow at first, and then smiled and chuckled.

"Thank you for that...appetizer," Wizard #4104 said with a silly laugh as he poured Wizard #239 a bowl of soup.

And that...was the third of thirty-odd times, thus far, that Wizard #239 would tell Wizard #4104 that joke.

Wizard #4104 still loves that joke.
