You must forsake the safety of your friends and yourself and pay heed to the security of the Sacred Food Container of Riyadh” I called to Lord Tony of Oasis that he must fight alone while I secured the Scared Container.

I quickly escaped and came back that night and laying his body alongside that of a sheep-ogre who also fell in the battle I dedicated the rock as a monument to this short-lived but dear friend and stood guard over his body until it was collected by the exit-only bird.
