</div>

Shadowfox saunters back into the bar after having been gone for a couple of days.

“So, what did I miss?”

(ducks quickly as a goat comes flying by)

“Okay, who in the hell threw that goat at me?”

(Walks up to Dave, who just happens to be the closest person )

“Did you throw that at me?”

(As Dave protests vehemently, Shadowfox grabs the back of his shirt, pulls it over his head, and then proceeds to violently tickle him)

</div>

(Stops tickling Dave long enough to grab Vahermit by the hair and pushes his head down, at the same time bringing her knee up and smashing his nose into it)

“You leave Dave alone! Don’t you see I’m busy torturing him?”

(Grabs Dave again and gives him a wet willy)
