Gnoll Dancing isn’t as hard as they said it would be.
“I thought you said you were proficient with poleARMS.”
“Fred, when you said we’d be getting a job in the dark mistress’ dungeon this wasn’t what I was expecting.”

Ho Commander, When I said you needed to get the troops riled up, I did not mean this

One does not simply walk into Mordor.
Left Orc: I want extra experience for making me live through this. Again.
