Gollum's Ruby
One day, the mage shopkeeper didst display for sale a valuble ruby, and Gollum did behold
the ruby, and the ruby gained favor in the eyes of Gollum. And Gollum didst think to himself,
"I doth wish to acquire this ruby, yet I have not the gold to pay for it." And thus Gollum
did enlist the aid of Tarrant, in an effort to take the ruby by force. And so Gollum and
Tarrant entered the magick shoppe, and gollum did threaten the mage to give up the ruby. And
when the mage did not yield to the threats, Gollum didst brandish his cane, and did strike
the mage squarely on the head with a mighty *BAP*. And Gollum, Tarrant, and the shopkeeper
didst trade many blows. Gollum and Tarrant were forced to retreat from the shop, and stopped
in the street to rest and tend their wounds. And lo, the mage did come out into the street
while they were sleeping, and did sayeth, "be gone, ye hoodlums!" and proceeded to summon
forth a magical field of fire. And the Gollum and Tarrant did retreat to the safety of the
Unholy Temple of Dentin, and the poor Pinky that happened to be nearby did withdraw to the
chamber of meditation to recover from her burns. And lo, the notorious brigand Osaka did
appear, and lend his assistance to their cause. The Gollum, Tarrant, and Osaka did band
together, and cast mighty hexes upon the mage, and slew him in the streets of ralnoth. And
thus the Gollum did acquire the coveted ruby, and all was well.
The End.
