will rolled the die and the boys all peered at it. "fourteen!" they cheered.

"direct hit. will the wise's fireball hits the thessalhydra. it makes a painful..." mike screeched and dropped down, "and then it crumbles to the ground. its clawed hand reaches for you one last time and, and, and, and...."

mike collapsed on the floor which made them cheer and run around the room.

"dorks." tilly sighed before will gently pulled her up and they danced around in celebration.

"lucas and slater cut off its seven heads, and dustin places them into his bag of holding." mike informed them, "you carry the heads out of the dungeon, victorious, and you present them to queen joane. she thanks you for your bravery and service."

"whoa. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not it, is it?" dustin asked.

"not accurate, i would never thank them." tilly informed them.

mike checked the book, "no, there's a medal ceremony."

"what?" slater grimaced.

"oh, a medal ceremony?" dustin scoffed, "what are you talking about?"

"yeah man, the campaign was way too short," lucas added.

"yeah!" will agreed.

"it was ten hours!" mike exclaimed.

"doesn't mean it made sense." slater pointed out.

"it makes sense." mike argued.

"uh no, what about the lost knight?" dustin quizzed.

"and the proud princess tilly?" lucas chimed.

"yeah what about doppelgänger me?" tilly added on.

"and those weird flowers in the cave?" will challenged.

"or the scary man in the forest?" slater queried.

"i don't know, it's-"

the basement door opened and jonathan walked out, "jeez, what's that smell? have you guys been playing games all day, or just suffocating tilly with your farts?"

"blocked nose." tilly pointed out in pure relief.

"oh, that's just dustin." lucas danced, "he farted. dustin farted."

"okay." dustin sighed as lucas blew a raspberry.

"dustin farted." lucas continued.

"very mature, lucas." dustin rolled his eyes, "oh."

"will." jonathan called.

"shut up."

"come on." jonathan ordered.

"dustin farted!"

"bye, guys." will grabbed things.

"bye, will." mike, slater and dustin waved.

"see you, will." tilly smiled.

"stop." lucas punched dustin.

"no, you stop."

"no, you stop."

"yeah, scream! you're like a little girl."

"mj, are you forgetting something?" slater pointed to the stairs.

"shit." tilly grabbed her backpack with her good arm and ran up, "hey will!" she ran passed mrs wheeler and picked up a cookie.

"matilda joane!" karen scolded her.
