#ex-parrot

This was the GamesFair '85 AD&D Team Competition Module. It combines two classic D&D themes: the party are prisoners trying to escape without most of their gear, plus silly humorous references. Before walking into Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch, they can meet Orbil and Wilva, wights, who crash their flying contraption.

There's only 56 people living in Forsayth. I suppose you make your entertainment where you can.

It’s not like I wasn’t exposed to “dissenting views”. It’s just that I was being exposed to views so horrible that I was regularly contemplating violence towards the people spouting those views.

Me: “ 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!! “

Since my dad is going to Norway for a few days, I thought I'd make a Norwegian Blue ex-parrot for him :-)
