You know, it's a really good thing we won. You guys didn't save before the battle, you know, we would have had to go to sleep all over again.
@Rad: Nice sig.
I stood over my fallen enemy with my veins still full of poison. As I clung to my spear for support, it occured to me that this was probably the end. I reached out to L33tz4n and tried my best to Raise her, but it was no use; my magic was spent.
"I guess... this is the end," I said with a cough. "Funny... I always pictured myself dying due to Uberbobian incompetance. Oh well... at least the first aid kit is safe..."
I fell to my knees. Everything began to go dark, when suddenly the oh-so-familiar sound of an old man rowwing a canoe on solid ground reached my ears. Looking up I saw Fooruman coming to my rescue, though honestly I wasn't so sure if that was a good thing.
"STONE-TASTING MAGIC, BE GONE!" he shouted as he whacked me with his oar. The awesome power of foo compelled the Frostbite venom to be purged from my veins, and the awesome power of being smacked by an oar caused me to pass out.
When I finally came to, my companions were all stading over me. "He looks pretty crappy," said Uberbob. "Maybe you should hit him again."
"NO!" I shouted, quickly finding the strength to leap to my feet. "It's cool! We're cool!" I then looked and saw that L33tz4n was alive and smiling widely at me. I was too confused to smile back just yet.
"What happened? I thought you were all dead," I explained. "The Birdclaws Brothers said poison gas traps had been set in the bedrooms, and we couldn't get you guys to wake up."
"We were all dead," said Araches. "Well, except for the FooCanoe; it never breathed in the poison."
"My good friend the canoe Raised me from the dead," Fooruman added. "Then, using my ARCANE POWERS, I rammed down the door of our bedroom and came right out to save you as quickly as I could."
I was beginning to think that the old man's definition of "quickly" was slightly warped. Still, I was glad to be alive, even if my head still hurt.
"What happened to the dire wall in the hallway? And Plot Device?"
"The wall's g0ne," said L33tz4n, "and Fooruman healed the rabbit in the restroom. He left a few minutes ago."
"All these explainations are boring me," said Uberbob. "I still want to see the North Pole! C'mon everyone, follow me to... ADVENTURE!"
Uberbob and the others began to leave the battlefield. L33tz4n stood by my side, watching him as he left. She was still smiling. "He's incorrigible, 1sn't he?" she said with a laugh. This time I couldn't help but smile back.
"Hey, it's nice to see you loling again, L33tz4n," I said with a wink.
To this remark she expressed mock indignation, and gave me a playful shove. "I'm not loling!" she said, still fighting back a chuckle. "I'm just... laughing out loud."
To the East was the girls' bedroom, to the South was the Save Point, to the West was now a large hole in the wall, and North lead to more of the hallway.
