Already planning a cleric names Leftenant Hospitaler Charles 'His Wideness' Blake-Antony Humphordshire.

He will smoke a cigar as long as a man's arm and clean wounds with a flask of whiskey. Atop his head will be the tiniest of bowler hats and his suspenders will have a snap that can break the sound barrier.

So, the Bloke of Giff ventured forth into the Lich's Doom, braving the horrors while making sure to have AMPLE moments dedicated to Tea Time.

that is madness it should be something far worse blokes go down to bars and such hippos have a dislike of all life known and will happily kill everything, a doom of hippos?
