Jihad Scenes

Baron Snake (suggesting possible targets for the jihad to strike)
"The Zhentarim have a lot of money . . ."
Petunia
"Don’t you have a lot of money?"

Melkar
"Petunia, Grog, and Akimbo are safely dead"

Caleph:
"These Torm people make my scales crawl."

John Farmer’s Parrot
"Arrr – fifteen men on a dead man’s chest."

Paul
"Arrr. Arrr. Arrr."

Yeenthra
"Basically, this plane is going to Heaven in a handbasket."

Doomsday (to the beat-up and broken—but still feisty— stone giant)
"How many of you are there?"
Stone Giant
"There’s one of me."

Paul
"On the western horizon, a bright light suddenly appears"
Jaemz
"Is it the Sun?"

Yeenthra and Melkar (to the tune of "The Locomotion)
"You sacrifice some stuff and you call your god now--
Come on baby, do the divination--
You get some goofy useless information!
Come on baby, do the divination."

Voodelmar
"You know how it’s supposed to be peaceful to drown? Maybe it’s peaceful to drown in mud while being burned to death by your armor."

Yeenthra (after whiffing at a goatherd)
"I’m lulling him into a very real sense of security."

Paul
"Isn’t Melkar still really a big blob?"
Jaemz
"Melkar was fixed by an angel."
Jihad
"Ooooooooh."

Yeenthra
"D-Day, you don’t remember what you had for breakfast. It wasn’t a magic item."
Voodelmar
"Magic Flakes – they’re magically delicious!"

Stone Giant
"You the ones who come in and fight?"
Verkrul
"You must be thinking of someone else – perhaps the Hindu Hezbollah?"

Jihad
"He’s chaotic good?"
Archon
"I say I’m chaotic, and people know I’m gooood!"

Doomsday
"So far, it’s a wimpy guy! He’s only cast Invisibility, Whispering Wind, and Detect Magic."
Voodelmar
"Except for the part where your Magic Jar detected an "immense power."

Yeenthra
"I like this Greez! He’s got spirit."
Caleph
"Spirit!?!"
Yeenthra
"Well, not warrior spirit. It’s more like ‘esprit’."
