Geocache Description:

One of Yowza-PA's Monty Python and the Holy Grail series...

The Knights Who Say Ni! are a band of knights feared for the manner in which they utter the word "ni" (pronounced /'ni/, like knee but clipped short). They are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Peng, and Neee-Wom.

This is a C&D just off the parking lot of the local township building. The cache was placed with permission of appropriate officials and the local police chief, although heavily armed, knows of its location. Here's the script...

HEAD KNIGHT: Ni!
Ni!
Ni!
Ni!
ARTHUR: Who are you?
HEAD KNIGHT: We are the Knights Who Say... Ni!
ARTHUR: No! Not the Knights Who Say Ni!
HEAD KNIGHT: The same!
BEDEMIR: Who are they?
HEAD KNIGHT: We are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Pen, and Ni-wom!
RANDOM: Ni-wom!
ARTHUR: Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!
HEAD KNIGHT: The Knights Who Say Nidemand a sacrifice!
ARTHUR: Knights of Niwe are but simple travellers who seek the enchanter who lives beyond these woods.
HEAD KNIGHT: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
ARTHUR and PARTY: Oh, ow!
HEAD KNIGHT: We shall say 'Ni' again to you if you do not appease us.
ARTHUR: Well, what is it you want?
HEAD KNIGHT: We want... a __________ [dramatic chord]
ARTHUR: A what?
HEAD KNIGHT: Ni! Ni!
ARTHUR and PARTY: Oh, ow!
ARTHUR: Please, please! No more! We shall find a ________.

If you know of the particular knights after which the cache was named, you won't need the hint encrypted below. Here's a film clip on YouTube! (visit link)

By the way, you're looking for a silver bison tube. BYOP because the knights don't have one on them!

Congratulations to Old Trekker and the Czech for the FTF find!
