Since the Caster can pay someone else to help him, then I will pay someone
to help me. "/auction Need a group gate to Qeynos".

If the race was serious, the bard could just suicide against a guard and be
instantly teleported right back to Freeport, beating the wizard. Put all
your stuff in the bank first to make it easier. And if you are worried
about the experience loss, kill yourself instead. No exp loss there.

only thing bards have going for them.....
