We could get one of the trained magical types in on this--I know a couple who'd be up for it. [They had a study group that one time--whenever they're on dry land long enough to dig into this stuff, they could do it again.]
[But magic didn't make hands-on work useless, not in the slightest.] Nah. That stuff still counts here. There's magic, sure, but that doesn't mean it's getting applied practically. [Or deviously.]
When I showed up, we were hiding out on an old farmstead. Nobody had bothered to put up any defenses, so it was just me boarding up windows and constructing barricades. Probably saved our asses when the place got attacked.
[He gestures to the other boats around them.] I have training, but anybody could've messed about in the woodshed and done a halfway decent job of it. They didn't, though. Thinking about the practicalities still counts for something here.
