A certain sage has just left my study, pipe floating behind him. Thanked me for the drinks and ice cream, said he had to go do something with gloves. Wonder if he noticed the latest Glover note on my computer screen. I used to turn it off when he brought Mordenkainen around.

This is somewhat troubling. (you also used to hide in a suit of armor when Mordenkainer used to show up)

And "troubling?" I think "Trouble" is Elminster's middle name! ("Fun" is another of his names, but that's safely afterwards, looking back. Not during!

Honestly, I have read his about his exploits. I don't know if I would comfortable standing near him. Too many powerful enemies.
