What's a fane and what would you do with it if you had one? [humor?]

[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 842681, member: 835"] [The PCs were exploring a demon's fane during our last session, and when I first used the word, one of the players asked "What's a fane, and what does a demon do with it?" I told him, but this song has sort of been kicking around in my head ever since. FWIW :) Dorothy, a young adventurer is startled as a wretched looking, heavily wounded, and rather small fiend teleports into the chamber. It is talking to itself. "I try to defeat them, but they just come at me without a second thought. Adventurers come from miles around just to loot the dungeon and laugh in my face. [Turns to Dorothy] ROAR! [She giggles] You see, I can't even make a single adventurer fear me. Oh, I'm a failure, because I haven't got a fane." Dorothy [puzzled]: Well, what would you do with a fane if you had one? Fiend: Do? Why if I had a fane I could... [sings] [URL=http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/6396/ifionly.htm]Tune[/URL] I could while away the hours Reveling in my powers, Inflicting lots of pain. And the plans I would be hatchin’ Would be evil beyond matchin’ If I only had a fane. I would open lots of portals, And go corrupting all the mortals On the Prime Mater’yal Plane [A small chorus of Quasits gates in and sings:] With the deeds that you’d be doin’ You’d make kingdoms fall to ruin If you only had a fane. Oh, I would love to scry, Upon those cursed heroes, four. I’d send my minions out to drive them to death’s door. Then I’d gloat…and gloat some more. I’d possess a famous abbess, Maybe rule a layer of Abyss, Drive some paladins insane. I’d make all advent’rers wary, I’d be really, really scary If I only had a fane. Dorothy: Ah. Yes. I see. Too bad you don't have one then. [dispatches the fiend with a single stroke] [/QUOTE]
