As detailed in one of the Poor Wizard's Almanacs, tyrannical noble Ludwig von Hendriks is facing his day of reckoning, with his populace in full revolt and enemy forces closing on his last stronghold. He turns to his court wizard, the aforementioned Bargle the Infamous, for assistance. Bargle tells Ludwig to lead the defense while he prepares spells to utterly crush the attackers. While Ludwig is thus occupied, Bargle sacks his treasury and teleports way the Hell out of Dodge.
