|
|
|
|
he's got to be strong, and he's
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gotta be fast. Real fast. Disconcertingly, there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suddenly appeared a crimson caped dynamo, in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a blinding flash and thunderous boom as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the burrito he ate three hours beforehand
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dangerously mixed with the broccoli and beer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and chased with Tenser's Milk of Magnesia
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
turned into Batman™ guano. Mixed with sulfur,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this potent chemical is quite possibly the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
most useless spell component ever devised. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
harvesting is dangerous, and the only spell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that can benefit from it is a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rare variation of Burning hands that changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into its dancing shoes when the music
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes its tempo to polka. As nobody
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suddenly, the paladin saw a HUGE creature
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that appeared to be a severely mutated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by the gaseous fumes from beneath the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tavern's basement - the building was built on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a Styes-style alchemical factory for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
process of turning goblinoid sweatshop workers into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Soilant Green to feed the masses of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
very very hungry spiderlings. The monstrous mutant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
goblinoids could be made into enough food
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to feed many mouths, provided that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
masticators did not include any gibbering mouthers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Menacingly, many massive masticator mechanics moved mindlessly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
because they think alliteration is silly. They
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thought that theoretically, their theorems thoroughly, throughout
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
history, eschewing alliteration whenever possible. Their annals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thus contained no actual words, instead opting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for a form of sign language, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
had a lot to do with their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strange visual organs, as they are particularly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adept at noticing microscopic changes in skin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pigmentation patterns, something that has anthropologists speculating
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as to whether their microscopes were kaleidoscopes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or periscopes. This strange method of communication
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
though odd, nonetheless, came in quite handy,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
since Smurfs are known for their sensitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
visual acuity, and it would be smurfs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who, according to prophesy, would bring about
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the downfall of civilisation as we know
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it today. Smurfs, of course, have long
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
noses, the better to smell an invasion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of stanky aliens. They wear aluminum foil
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so that smurfs mistake them for leftover
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
baked potatoes, to order to lure them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
out of their mushroom houses so that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
they can be impregnated with strange alien
|
|
