April Fool's Day 2011

Rogue Leprechaun Camp

You enter the Rouge Leprechaun Camp but to your surprise, find it completely empty and in a total shambles. Tents are tossed, campfires are cold, even the rainbow which previously shot majestically up into the sky is gone. Moments pass as this all settles in, before you shrug your shoulders and set to hunting for evidence of any left-behind loot and Moolah that could be hiding in the wreckage.

After several minutes of fruitless searching, you hear a sudden, high-pitched laugh erupt behind you, and you quickly spin around in response.

Behind you... well, in front of you now... stands a leprechaun you've never seen before. He's short, of course, and generally leprechaunish in appearance, but some of his characteristics suggest that he may not be entirely sane. It might be his creepy grin, or perhaps the fact that his eyes are rolling wildly and pointing in different directions. Or maybe it's the drool hanging in foamy ropes from his lips.

Any traces of doubt you may have had are removed as he begins to rant, and you realise he's so crazed that he's completely lost his Dyrish brogue, and is speaking so you can understand him perfectly!

"It was you that came here and took all our stuff!" he screams, "You and those bloody rabid pilatipu... platiup... pilatypi... stupid duck-billed rodents!!! You will pay my fine friend! Oh yes! PAY YOU WILLl! My brethren will rise up and take what they deserve! May Saint Patrick leave you broke as a joke. Upon you I leave a curse in which the truth lies."

"I, LEPRE CON, CURSE YOU!!" He cackles madly as he spins in a wink and darts off, his curse hanging in the air behind him.... "UTOPIAS OF LOYAL ROLL!"

Uh... yeah. Whatever that means. You scratch your head as he quickly disappears in the distance. That was weird.

His words begin to haunt you as start to wander off. Obviously the little dude is completely bonkers, but still, you can't help feeling that today is not going to be an ordinary day.
