This is a story typeset in TeX. It is written by Zzo38 and fully in public domain. This story is based on events in a Dungeons & Dragons game, but are also intended to be suitable as a standalone story, too. This may not quite be done satisfactorily, but it can be fixed later on at any time by anyone.


 * Who's on First?: One character is a doppelganger named "Also". This causes much (deliberate) grammatical confusion. This character eventually is out of the story (eliminating such confusion).
 * Who Names Their Male Son "Isolde"?: One character is a male human fighter with a woman's name ("Isolde"), who can fight with a staff extremely well, and can beat up everyone extremely well compared to the other characters. He enters at one point during the story and then eventually leaves again.
 * The Unpronounceable: The main character is named "Iuckqlwviv Kjugobe" (which, it has been said (by people outside of the story), is difficult to pronounce if you don't have four tentacles). This character is part of most of the entire story so far, appearing at least once in every chapter and usually all the time in a chapter.
 * Isolde once purchases live eggs and intends to use them to trick a bunch of guards in the castle, either by making them trip over them and having everyone who doesn't trip get distracted by continually laughing at them, or else that all the eggs will hatch at once, causing everyone to just laugh at them too much to do anything else.
 * Kjugobe worships the very confusing god "Gxxyuxihuvxi" (a good god, not very well known though; their clerics are monsters only). This name is (purposely) very difficult to pronounce.
 * It is decided that Kjugobe needs to defeat Aberration Hater, an evil organization, even though their members are not necessarily all evil. These people will call all of these monsters evil, whether or not it is, due to such thing as Confirmation Bias, misunderstanding, poor sampling, hating them for somewhat legitimate reasons and then being too extreme and wanting to kill them all, being too closed and thinking only of the benefit of humanity and hating some which are mostly better, and other reasons which remain unknown to this day.
 * At one point, we need a boat to go faster to outrun another boat; Kjugobe suggests adding more sheets (we all take off our clothing and hang them on the mast).
 * The following question is sometimes asked by Kjugobe: "The king is allergic to beholders and wants to destroy all of the beholders in the city. However, only half of them have done anything wrong. Identify the problem." The answer: ""
 * A character once anticipates that his opponents have anticipated that he had anticipated that they were making a Kansas City Shuffle. (Confused? )
 * Things such as astronomy and mathematics are sometimes used by Kjugobe. Especially with astronomy, timing is involved and critical. Phase of moon? Yes, that can affect things too! Even the day of the week is important. So are the colors of objects, beyond their simple meaning to signify something or to be identified.
 * A number of strange spells are involved, sometimes to great effect, but sometimes they simply are not used at all.
 * There is food on the table set for two people, neither of whom can eat (see chapter ).
 * One character is often called "the wizard" (his name is not yet known), even though Kjugobe is also a wizard.
 * Evil Chancellor
 * Timezones feature a number of times in this story. Knowledge of timezones can come in particularly useful at times.
