The Insane Knight Gets Lost

“Fazpagarg!” the Insane Knight exclaimed. Whenever he reached a point of total frustration, he would swear in gibberish. In their quest to find the Great Wizard, Ted the Off-White, they had gotten lost in The Boring Forest. The Dragon named Horse had refused to walk any further, so they decided to dismount and set up camp.

“Maybe we should have asked directions back in Avaloniaburgtown,” said Tlod, the formerly headless, dwarven zombie.

The Insane Knight walked over to the campfire to warm his hands when the flame started to rise out of control. The flames morphed into a humanoid form and it spoke.

“THE GREAT WIZARD , TED THE OFF -WHITE, DEMANDS THAT YOU STOP THIS QUEST IMMEDIATELY .”

The Insane Knight laughed as he turned to Tlod and said, “Ha Ha! Our campfire is talking! Ha Ha Ha! Have you ever seen anything so foolish? I better put it out before it starts singing!”

“Sir,” Tlod said, “That’s a Fire Elemental. We should run!”

The Knight drew his Imaginary Sword and shouted, “En Garde, Campfire!”
