So I managed to sneak into a cave and find the secret entrance that took me to the entrance to Fantasy Faire 2013, but in my path I saw two Giants guarding the way, I tried to hide but they saw me and crossed their arms, frowining at me. Then one of them roared:
“Fee-fi-fo-fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Be he live, or be he dead
I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.”
I stood there, frozen, too afraid to move when one of the giants started laughing “I’ve always wanted to say that!” he roared.
The other giant replied “I’m waiting for the chance to say ‘Unleash The Kraken’”
“Ooh that’s a good one!” said the first Giant “Ok in you go, Sonya Marmurek said you’d be coming, come on move along quickly…. and remember, no SLURL’s allowed in previews.” I hurriedly moved through the entrance but couldn’t help overhear their conversation.
“Do you think it will rain?”
“No idea, I hope not, I want to hang my washing out.”
“Washing, blah, that means ironing.”
“Oh I hate ironing, but it has to be done, I’ve got some new fabric conditioner.”
“Oh really, which brand?”
Thankfully I was now out of range to hear the rest of the conversation, but I wasn’t quite there yet, barring my path was a witch, pointing her finger at me, “You!” she exclaimed “It was foretold in the prophecies that you would arrive!”
I looked behind me to see if anyone else was there, then looked questioningly at the witch “Did Sonya Marmurek mention my name?”
“Ah, you know the prophecies too!” exclaimed the witch.
I groaned and moved on and finally, I found myself at sneak peek Fantasy Faire 2013. I had to choose a portal:
Now here you have a choice to pickup a free low lag avatar and my advice is to consider picking one up. Anyone who has been in Second Life for a while knows that these sort of events can get busy and busy can sometimes mean you get stuck in the mud.
Having chosen my portal, I glanced to the sky and saw a boat, being held up by what appeared to be a dragon:
However I wasn’t heading up there and so instead I turned, and saw them, they may look innocent, but trust me, you need to tread very carefully around these guys:
Dwarfins! Lots of them, all in one place. Now being as I’m a fearless hero who has so far negotiated giants and a witch, a few Dwarfins might not seem too bad. However I know from previous experience what these guys can be like, and sure enough, a cursory glance around the door revealed wild shenanigans!
Beer, bawdinwess, weapons, my trusted chief Elf nowhere in sight, it was time to run for my life and look for somewhere safer to sneak peak at Fantasy Faire 2013!
