Dream a Little Dream of Beer

madbakerThat was a weird dream.
In execution, anyway. The plot was pretty trope-y.
It was a generic SCA crowd, except everyone had superpowers. We were playing a regular monthly challenge where someone tried to escape from the area of the group sunshade. Anything was allowed short of major injury. This month's challenger was Paul. No one had bet on him, because he was the only one without any powers. He was just an ordinary SCA brewer. (I was the sole person to bet on him, because I liked taking the other side and because I knew he was crafty.)
Paul just sat in the sunshade, drinking from the keg of beer he'd brought (and hospitably inviting everyone else to do the same). At one point he went to one of the guys who, in typical comic-book fashion, was ludicrously over-powered with magick and stuff. Paul told him he needed to use the privies [because, beer-drinking] but that if he tried to go, everyone would stop him. He gave his word as a brewer that he would just do his business and return if the guy helped him out. The guy, also being a brewer, immediately put everyone to sleep for ten minutes so Paul could relieve himself.
Paul did his business and returned per his oath within the ten minutes. This happened twice more. Each time he took a little longer and walked farther beyond the privy after using it, before returning.
At the end he successfully argued that no one had demonstrated the ability to stop him from escaping had he chosen to do so, so he won the challenge.

I think I like your dreams better. Where do I get that subscription?
