Encounter

Under a smoke-red moon you cast
your lot among brave fools
You could not ask for better luck
(adhering to the rules).
Your elf attacks; the orcs fall back
and thus you win the duel.

While others use their shining swords
and bongs to celebrate,
Your elven wizard decides instead
new spells to conjugate.
And maybe if the gold's enough
you'll buy magic armor plate.
