From ArthurS: Broom needed, Calling the Witching Hour Taxi Service (25 points)

 Hoi There! 


"We conjure and abjure thee by means of this— Granny hardly paused – sharp and terrible copper stick.
 

The waters in the boiler rippled gently.
 

See how we scatter— Magrat sighed – rather old washing soda and some extremely hard soap flakes in thy honour. Really, Nanny, I dont think—
 

Silence! Now you, Gytha.
 

And I invoke and bind thee with the balding scrubbing brush of Art and the washboard of Protection, said Nanny, waving it. The wringer attachment fell off. 

Honesty is all very well, whispered Magrat, wretchedly, but somehow it isnt the same.
 

You listen to me, my girl, said Granny. Demons dont care about the outward shape of things. Its what you think that matters. Get on with it." 

With this quote from my favourite Pratchett book "Wyrd Sisters" (it is all about witches you see!) Arthur and myself hope to conjure up a ride on a broomstick away from the Chamber of Darkness and into the Larder!

Arthur painted up this figure, which is from the same lot as my Golems, it is female and a monster but that's all I can say about it's origins... 



It has Arthur's favourite colour combination of purple and blue so you can immediately recognise his hand. It being a 28mm figure it should be good for 5 points and another 20 points for invoking the witch.

 Cheers Sander

  4. I have asked the Snow Lord to allot Arthur an extra 5 points ... as terrifying as his she - monster is, purple is also one of my favourite colours 💜
