"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you!" chanted Rocky. Slayer buried further under the pile of packs, and Batty Buddy attempted to remain as his usual level of sanity while driving the obviously sanity depleting car. It was very hard.
"Slayer, could you please come over here and take over? I'm fighting a losing battle here."
Slayer whimpered, and continued his imitation of a mole.
"Bleh.. hey, maybe my Backpack can help.. Slayer, is my Backpack in there?"
Slayer rooted around a bit, and managed to locate it. Handing it to the driver, he hid back under the mound again.
"Hey," said Ducky, having partly recovered, "why do we need to Buy a new War Tavern, anyway? It's been wrecked before, and we've repaired it!"
"Like the time we got out of Gen's mind, and Slayer drew it with a magic pencil." said Fire Sword, thoughtfully.
"Or when a buncha people went off on a quest to find some stones!" said Beauman.
"We might not even have to do.. the door and roof and chandeleir and stuff are always repairing themselves without notice." mused stripe. This was the first time he had been around for ages, so they didn't know how he knew this, but he did all the same.
"But the Quest for the Stones took a while, and it didn't repair itself then. I say we go on another quest!" cried someone energetically.
Kovu, having reassembled his eViL wHaTeVeR from the time he had teamed up with Teh Evil Comb, looked in a viewing monitor with displeasure.
"Bleh.. if they reassemble the War Tavern, they will be strong of heart, and my attempt to take over The World! shall be null of void. I must hinder them with all my mighty might!"
One of the generals of his army(tm) looked up from the floor, where he had been genuflecting. "Do you want me to lead a squad to kill them all, your Kovuness?"
"No... not plot advancing enough. Instead, make their quest as difficult as possible. And make them draw "Go directly to Jail. Do not pass the required tools. Do not collect materials" as many times as possible."
"But won't they just triumph over those seemingly invincible odds, in the spirit of everyone on the side of Righteousness, and end up rebuilding the War Tavern and defeating us?"
"Eventually, maybe, but just killing them doesn't do much for the plot."
