[QUOTE="Craig Fox, post: 7118455, member: 6882019"] The heroes, while reeking and near bloodied, were relieved it wasn't Cone of Hagfish, or the legendarily dreaded Surstromming Swarm. "Fight on!" rang out Warlady Terri's voice. In all the commotion, no one noticed a small floating skull just outside the perimeter. Till it spoke, in sepulchral tones that rang out across the battlefield. "[I][B]Urm, excuse me...[/B][/I]". Heads turned. Everyone capable of biological micturition promptly did so. "Flippin' heck, it's him!" "It's the real Acererak!" "It's the original! Not some tired old 3d-printed knockoff!" "I can see four empty gems! That's four souls he can steal! Aaargghhh!!!" [SIZE=2]"Mummy....."[/SIZE] Acererak spoke again, more soothingly. "Don't worry, I'm not joining this little skirmish. I'd just like to have a little fun. The first of you to hold this gem aloft and make a wish will have it granted." A large amethyst, glowing faintly red, spat forth from Acererak's jaws and rolled across the battlefield, landing between Stonnard's feet. Stonnard's eyes narrowed, his feet planted, and he swung his axe menacingly. "Get back! Back, I say!" he shouted. Ballnard sighed. "Oh, [I]****[/I]!" he cursed. "All he'll do is wish for a lifetime supply of hors d'oeuvres!" "Which means" said Jezza, trying to draw a bead on Lo-Mad, "he'll get [I]one[/I] hors d'oeuvre, and only have time to take a single bite before he's annihilated!" "Most hors d'oeuvres only need a single bite, but yeah, I'll see what I can do." Expertly playing his role as a clumsy, incompetent combatant, Ballnard stumbled into Stonnard's back, who lurched forward and kicked the gem hard across the ground. Jethro grabbed a cricket bat, swung hard as the gem bounced, and sent it flying. "Six!" Jethro called out. "Not if the mad mech catches it." said Verice. Eager to get its own wish, Lo-Mad tried to pincer the gem between two of its limbs, but just missed, the gem bouncing off his claw with a loud clang. Everyone watched the gem as it flew through the air. "What are you doing?" screamed Verice. "It'll be friggin' [I]Acererak[/I] granting your wish if you catch that thing!" No one listened to her. The gem spun, bounced, ricocheted, and came to rest smack in the palm of ... Terri Trainger. Without missing a beat, she held the glowing, pulsing gem aloft." "I wish" she spoke out loud "to become a [I]real girl[/I]..." [/QUOTE]
