Art: So, Bedevere, tell me again these rules on the engagement of small creatures?

Bed: Basically, Sire, when one faces a host of opponents with less than one hit die to their credit, you may make one attack for every one of your levels.

Art: So, even though as a fighter, i get one attack per round, were i to come across something like giant cockroaches, then as a 10th level fighter, I would be able to make 10 attacks?

Roach: Depends on just how "giant" those giant cockroaches are, chief.

Art: Oh, disgusting. Right. Witch Barbie? How do you get cockroaches out of a room?

Barbie: Why in the hell are you asking me?

Art: Well, you know...

Barbie: No, I don't.

Art: Bugs...cleaning...getting rid of vermin...

Barbie: Are you suggesting that this is 'woman's work?'

Art: Oh, no, no, no. Just that, well, I know they're drawn to food, and _I_ certainly never spend much time in the kitchens, I, uh, I heard you were an excellent cook?

Barbe: Well, if they're big enough that poor widdle me is fwightened, i ask a big stwong man to come all the way into the kitchen and step on them.

Art: Steele? Step on this thing for me, will you?

Steele: Right away, boss-man.

SNARF!

Art: Very well. Bedevere, make a note that we have to swing by the cleric on the way home.

Bed: Yes, milord.

Art: So, anyway, i get a lot of attacks on this creature, do i?

Bed: I suspect, my liege, that this creature has more than one hit die to his credit.

Bug: Nyaaaah! Nyaaah! Pffffffft!

Art: Bedevere, a bug is a bug is a bug.

Bed: Tell that to what's left of Steele, sire.

Art: Ah.....well, where's Lancelot?

Barbie: He's at the dungeon vestibule, trying to get his Mercian Hound to enter.

Art: Still? Very well! I call upon Saint Orkin and dedicate this fight to the memory of the Great Stamping of 913! Raises Sword

Barbie: Throws sausage links on floor between bug and Art, bug drops to eat them, hasan chop!

Bed: Well done, my liege.

Art: Well, sometimes you just have to look death right in the face, and face that danger right in the eyes.

Barbie: Lookout!

Bedevere: It's a scavenging beetle!

Scarab: Are you through with that?
