Ach!!

It's been a while since this has annoyed me, but here we go again.

I was out in the alley behind the wizard lounge with Armageddon,
Postmaster, and Death - you know, the usual crew. We were debating
the merits of various "relaxation" options. I prefer the standard top-
shelf Martini or Manhattan, while Postmaster insists that new-world rules
that allow various forms of ... um ... THC variants (brownies are his
favorites) are the best. Well, I just can't get behind Postie's style,
I guess I'm too old-school ... but then we heard some crashing down
the alley.

Going to investigate, what did we see? There was the Balrog! Drunker than
any of us. First he looked at me:

"Your thirteen Manhattans? Weak!! I laugh at them!"

He then looked at Postmaster:

"Brownies. Really. Can I just say, I am embarrassed for you?"

Finally, turning to Death, he taunted:

"Um. Vaping? YOU??!?"

He then proceeded to roll on the floor with laughter. Non-plussed, we
approached the over-jovial spawn of Melkor, intent on teaching him a few
things about respct. Before we could lay hands on him, he offered us his
middle finger (claw) and ran off. What we all commented on, later, was
the EXOTIC mithril ring we noticed on his offensive digit. Yes, this was
clearly an item of POWER.

Well, we were too far into the evening to bother further with it, but we
suggest that you, the esteemed mortal populace, might wish to pay him a
visit. Clearly, this is an uncommon opportunity. He's got one of those
crazy imbuements of true power again, and we would like nothing better
than for him to learn a bit of a lesson.

Consider this an extension of the scavenger hunt. But, we imagine, this
particular prize (the exotic mithril ring) will NOT want to be thrown
into any pumpkin.

Cheers,
G.
