Boring, but Practical | |
| Wizard Bait / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Ace manages to undo the Shaman by essentially offering his badgermen a job at Ogre Company, claiming that they have a much better employment plan than whatever the Shaman promised them. | |

| Wizard Bait / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: We never find out exactly how Ogre Company managed to beat the Storm Mage. Nor do we know anything about the alchemist that was crushed under his iron golem, the "immortal war warden" pinned to the ground by over a dozen weapons, or the Naked Nutter they managed to tie to a rock. | |

| Wizard Bait / int_79974fb8 | comment |
Rock Beats Laser: While Zarazath is undead and therefor can't die, Lewis and Martin get around this by crushing him under a large rock. Every time he gets back up, they flatten him again, eventually stealing the Magic Staff he uses to control his army before leaving him under the rock. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Since Sally is a Fiery Salamander, she easily manages to beat the Ice Witch Besberdin, reducing her to a heart-shaped lump of ice in an empty canteen. | |

Evil Weapon | |
| Wizard Bait / int_abbe5875 | comment |
Evil Weapon: As a reward for his services, Thusalah gives Ernie a blood-red sword that screams every time it's swung and dooms its wielder with a terrible death. Considering Ernie is a skeleton animated by Necromancy, it's an improvement to the rusted hand-me-down sword he was using before. | |

Dragon Hoard | |
| Wizard Bait / int_c0091e94 | comment |
Dragon Hoard: Glunkins and the rest of his party were hired by Thusalah to protect his treasure hoard when he's off at his "big dragon orgy party thing." Since the brood calling is happening with every dragon and they all have treasure that needs guarding, the entirety of Ogre Company has been shipped out to properly handle the workload. | |

Necromancer: The Lich Lord Zarazath is a lich who uses his army of the undead to conquer armies (and raising them to further swell his ranks) who's come to reclaim an Ancient Artifact — the Pale Orb — that he claims Thusalah stole from him. | |

| Wizard Bait / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Thusalah keeps a lot of magical MacGuffins in her Dragon Hoard so that she could deliberately attract eccentric wizards who desire their power. She sees it as a public service to keep the wizard population low, considering they're all incredibly powerful and megalomaniacal. | |
