[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7167405, member: 6777052"] [COLOR=blue]It was three o'clock in the afternoon and [B]Bad Things[/B] were about to happen. Ha! tossed a pebble over the nearest hedge. "Someone's stolen Albert," she remarked idly. Archie shifted his bulk, raised himself up on his legs and craned his neck down to check underneath. "He's no underrr me?" "Don't worry, he'll just be hiding in the shadows. He always does that," reassured Tippy, strapping his greave back on and wondering why the other one suddenly seemed to be the other way up to this one, even though he hadn't taken it off. "I hope he does come back, he's got Tickles," said Ikidunot starting to looking a bit worried. He began double-checking the [i]Find Familiar[/i] instructions in his spell book and remembered about the hundred-foot range for keeping in contact. He reached out with his mind and ... [color=red]AARGH![/color] "Alright, give him air," commanded Tippy as he started trying to revive the suddenly stunned wizard. "Someone get me a flask of water, he's gone a funny colour round the ears. It's always a bad sign." Tasha obliged and poured a flask of water over Ikidunot's head, which failed to revive him but did cause his pointy wizard hat to go limp and soggy and generally less pointy. "Should I chop his hat off?" she wondered. Tippy was about to advise against this when the situation went from bad to worse. A terrifying demon appeared from nowhere and advanced menacingly towards them. It was a ghastly creature, all beaks and eyes and tentacles and wearing a mockery of human clothes. Tippy stood up and presented his holy symbol, which was a miniature silver trumpet, and called upon the gods to ward off the [i]thing[/i] that was confronting them. He didn't know if it was undead, but he tried [i]turning[/i] it anyway. Nothing happened. "Who threw that pebble?" demanded the demon, changing colour from red with blue circles to green with brown blobs. "And what are you doing to Toothpaste? If you're rifling his pockets, that's my job." Could this apparition be Albert? Was he so unrecognisable that even his friends didn't recognise him? Well, maybe, but something wasn't right ... Tasha waited no longer. She swung her halberd with a slash! slash! backslash! at the demon. It took the others by surprise - they hadn't expected this. Nor had the demon, for it knew it could only be hit by magic weapons and it didn't expect these puny mortals to have any. Multicoloured ichor sprayed from severed tentacles and the demon died where it stood, its broad-brimmed hat falling from its ghastly head. (Did I mention the hat? It's a bit of a clue ...)
