When we last saw our intrepid crusaders, they had been discouraged by the death of Sir Mitch, the Whipped. During our break Brother Maynard performed an amazing memorial service with trumpets and choirs and fireworks, that wasso amazing it can’t be described here. A tear was brought to every eye.

A knock is heard on the front gate. The guard: "Who art thou? What do you want?"

Muffled by the door: "Hi, I’m Jerry Lewis. I’m lost and could use some food and shelter."

The guards to each other: "Jerry Lewis!" "That’s what he said." "Let him in, let him in!"

King Xander: "Hi, we were...."

Just as King Xander begins to speak, Sir Lancelot rushes through the gate killing all the guards. "Ha!"

Sir Giles, the Wise: "No, we were supposed to take prisoners, so we could question them about the location of the Holy Grail."

Sir Lancelot: "Sorry, I got a little carried away."

Lady Willow, the Pure: "A little?"

Lady Buffy: "Well there certainly doesn’t seem to be a Grail here, just a bunch of dead guys."

King Xander: "Does anyone see any food?"

Sir Giles: "Brother Maynard, check the books to see there is any reference to French involvement in moving the Grail."

Brother Maynard: "Yes, it appears that the Grail was moved to a castle on the other side of the forrest of Ewing to avoid the French attack on this castle. There are three castles on the other side."

Sir Giles: "How far are we from the forrest?"

Lady Willow: "About three hours by foot. Sir Angel will slow it down to just over four."

Sir Lancelot: "Then let’s ride. To the horses!"

Lady Buffy: "Uh, we don’t have horses."

Sir Lancelot: "Well then, what are these."

Lady Cordelia: "They’re coconuts, you raving lunatic!"

King Xander: "Sorry, I just ate mine."

Sir Lancelot: "First a pig and now a horse, you must control your appetite"

Lady Buffy: "And the weird behavior award goes to..."

Sir Giles: "We must stay here for the night. It’s unsafe to travel in darkness."

King Xander: "But at least Angel could drag his own box for a change. Gees, he’s heavy."

Lady Cordelia: "There’s no way I’m sleeping in this cesspool. Why am I with you people anyway?"

King Xander: "It’s either us, or being some guy named Vlad’s midnight snack. But, if you’d rather go?"

Lady Cordelia: "OK, I’ll stay here."

Sir Giles: "Buffy, why don’t you get some sleep. We’ll need you on your toes tonight. This is the first place the Master’s hoard will look. I don’t want to be caught unprepared."

And then they ate the "horses". And there was much rejoicing. Yay!
