[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7325692, member: 6777052"] "I know, next I’ll try…….. I'll try it the other way around. I'll lay down on [i]your[/i] hands." "Madam," said Od smoothly to Dotti, "Perhaps I can be of some assistance? In a former occupation I trained under the great Coiffo, hair-arranger to several royal houses." This was a brazen lie, but Od thought he might get away with it. "Ta fur the offah, but me snakes is a bit frisky an' wouldn' take kindly to bein' mussed abaht," replied the medusa. As if to emphasise the point all the snakes on her head reared up in synchonism and glared at Od meaningfully, as if daring him to put his hands within fangs reach. But Od drew out his silver flute and played the opening bars of the snake charmer song. You know, the one that goes wah wah wa-ah wah and so on. The snakes liked that, it reminded them of home, and they started dancing the slow fangdango. Od kept up the music until they were exhausted and fell asleep, whereupon Dotti was able to arrange them neatly in ringlets to her obvious satisfaction. "You can come again," said Dotti approvingly. "But do us a favour an' leave the storms at home. Wot you doin' 'ere anyways? This island is supposed ter be deserted. On account of me an' the others." "We're privateers. We came to bury fifty tons of gold. It belongs to Penelope the kraken." "WUT? 'Er as destroyed Atlantis? No thank you. Not on my island. I like my island where it is, thank you very much. Take it someplace else." "But she [i]told[/i] us to bring it here. For safe keeping. You could guard it for us, if you like." "Me? Guard fifty tons of gold? You must be joking, sunshine. Fifty tons is so far off the top of the treasure tables, it's enough to bring every 20th-level Legend of The Multiverse down here with their mirror shields and their [i]+3 Wheelbarrows of Carrying[/i]. Over my undead body. Tell your kraken I said no." "I could write a song about you? Extolling your beauty?" "No. At least ..." "Mmm?" "No." "Oh well, looks like it's back to the Phase Rider, then." "You came here on [i]that[/i]? You mus' be dumber than you look." "Oh, why?" "Don' you know the legend? Whoever sails on the Phase Rider 's doomed nevah to find what they seek." "We seek the biggest diamond in the world." "Well, then, you won' find it. Jus' when you think you've found it, there'll be an even bigger one to go after. Go home an' jus' spend your tons of gold. That's my advice." "I don't think we're supposed to." "Not my problem." At this point in the conversation, a thought that had been niggling at Nord's subconscious finally managed to get itself noticed. "Er, you said you [i]and the others[/i]?
