Surely the parole evidence rule would apply, if evidence could show that both parties shared the intent. Example: Party signs contract with King to slay dragon on the eve of the new moon. Now if the king could prove, perhaps by transcript created during a zone of truth spell (think of it as a sworn affidavit before a notary public), that everybody involved was thinking that the slaying ought to be done before the *next* new moon, then failure to fulfill their obligations should result in the penalties. To wit: a curse. Of course this would not apply in realms where the Statute of Frauds would void the contract. Thoughts, opinions? Mikkelibob, Rules Lawyer
