He was the greatest hero of the land, know from horizon to horizon as
Baghoon the Undefeatable. He was chosen by the council of firsts to be the man
to deliver salvation to the endangered people of the Land. Lord Kasreyn,
arch-mage of the Demondim spawn was casting envious eyes over the green and
fecund home of the peoples of Vespers, Baghoon’s homeland. Raiding parties had
already spread devestation in the North and it was only a metter of time before
the hordes would descend upon the Land.
The council implored Baghoon to take on the onerous task of defeating
the foul Kesreyn.
‘Do not fear, my people, for you, for the love of my fellow man, I will
accept the sacred trust you have given me. Though the test of the seven has
been tried a million times before without success, you may rest easy that I,
Baghoon the Invincible, will deliver peace to our fair Land, I will cleve Lord Kesryn’s head from his
shoulders in the name of truth, freedom and harmony.
He strode forth smugly, the cheers of thousands ringing in his ears.

Lifeswaller the Great
Swamp tried to pull him
under, but he captured and rode a giant swamp serpent acroos its vastness.
The three headed sand-gorgon he slayed from right beneath its belly.
The riddles of the Gaurdian of Helmut were answered with a laugh of
scorn so easy were they.
The Falling Fist of Satansheart was too cumbersome to overtrouble him,
so fleet were his feet.
The last test approached; cross the Hall of Silence deep in the Bowells
of The Grieve, at the very heart of Lord Kasreyns’ warrens. The Hall posed no
threat to such as him, despite the dire warnings of the ‘Curse of the Barby’
that protected them. He inched closer to his goal, his feet wrapped in oiled
clothes, his armour discarded, for he was no fool.Then.........
*Attcchhhhooooooo*
‘Oh bugger. Bugger, bugger, bugger thought our hero, swiftly followed by ‘At
least I didn’t break a nail’ and ‘Oh, hi guys, my what big swords you all
have!’
