Ya stoopid git!” one ogre scolded the clumsy one in ogrespeak.  “ya gonna ruin it fer us… Okee boys, git reddy take what ya can grab an get back to da hideout as quick as lightning ya hear!?”<br/><br/>As soon as the words were out, a purple puff of powdery light filled the woods around them and covered the clumsy ogre.  The light spilled over him and covered the ogre right behind him.  The one that was speaking sneezed as the powdery lilac light surrounded his head.  “Aw dangit! We’ve been found out, now’s da time, GO BOYS!”<br/><br/>At the order, two glowing purple ogres and seven others, one with a purple glowing head screamed battlecries and  charged out of the forest and into the town.<br/>
