[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7334933, member: 6777052"] “Forgive me Fa….. "Don't say it!" interrupted the Padre. "Whenever I hear that [i][COLOR="#008000"]dire phrase[/COLOR][/i] it send shivers down my spine because I'm about to hear that somone has done something mildly naughty. You have no idea how petty some sins can be. Sneezed twice on a Tuesday, have we?" "I only wanted to rent a shovel." "What? Do I look like a [i][COLOR="#008000"]spade hirer[/COLOR][/i]? "Sorry," mumbled Skipper. (Thinking up more anagrams is left as an exercise for our [i][COLOR="#008000"]readership[/COLOR][/i].) It was at about this time that Jelli, Od, Nord, Herewulf and the others arrived on the beach. The moon having risen and flooded the island with a baleful red light, at least everyone could see where they were going and not bump into each other in the dark. "Well, the ship is still there," remarked Od optimistically. "That boom we heard had me worried." "I told 'ee that were cannon fire," replied Nord. "Look yonder below the gunnels, the ports be open. She's fired a broadside, I'll be bound." Jeli's attention was drawn to Xena, a little way down the beach, where the unicorns were gathered around something. "Come see this," called Xena, "It's a clown with a chest full of solid gold!" "Don't open it!" warned Jeli, "Chests of gold are always trapped!" "No, not [i]that[/i] sort of chest, silly! His own chest, where his ribs are ... were ... eugh." "What a way to go." "Poor man. He had a heart of gold." "Never mind him, where are the other two?" "Apparently, they ran off into the woods and met a fête worse than death." "How do you know that?" "I rolled a natural 20 on an Insight check." "We'd better get back to the ship," warned Herewulf. "Can someone swin out and ask the gnomes to launch their boat for us?" "Swim out? Swim out?" scoffed Od, "We can do telepathy, remember?" "Oh yes, Nord can do a reverse [I]Read Thoughts[/I]. Silly me, I was forgetting." On cue, Nord attempted to communicate with Skipper but to his surprise it didn't work. The skipper's thoughts were muffled by his woolly hat. He tried a different gnome but they were all wearing their woolly hats too. "Argh! They be a-wearing [i]Hats o' Mind Shielding[/i]," he complained. "We mun use lights an' signal that a-way."
