Midget with a trombone appears. (blasts several flatulent notes, and takes takes a deep breath) Behold! \*\* Genghiz Lamp, The Undying, Trampler of Nations, Defiler of the Light, Master of the Ebon Night, He who feasts upon the entrails of the gods and hath assimilated their Wisdom, The Godslayer.\*\* His existence is everlasting!
