Chief MrPhil pursues the giant Goblin Chief as he limps along through the branches and along the forest floor. The Goblin flees to the banana grove where his tribe can protect him. The Goblins begin to shriek and shout when MrPhil is sighted. After a short series of skirmishes MrPhil is forced back into the jungle.
MrPhil is depressed. He's no Chief. He knows that deep down. He was only elected because he helped kill the Banana King and the tribe was Chiefless.
He couldn't even get to his little buddy to help him.
If only the Banana King were here to help...he was irritating, but an experienced leader and Banana Shaman.
In a fit of despair, he sits down...on an overripe banana! Squish!
With the wet squishiness of the banana on his butt comes something else...a person...the Banana King is back!
MrPhil feels a wave of peaceful, banana scented relief wash over him as he hands over the controls to the Banana King and goes to sleep.

As long as MrPhil submits, the Banana King may use his skills. It might take a moment to wake up the spirit and have it do what it's told however. The Banana King is unlikely for example to leap up, pick up a club and start fighting when surprised since MrPhil will still be dozing.
The Banana King's dance is now being expressed with a body! Oh joy! The beautiful scent of bananas and a gentle yellow glow draws him like a moth to flame as he Banana Dances into Chief Agerg's Circle of Protection![/i]
Range blasts is alone in the depths. He is mentally fatigued from the recent events, but his body still pulses with power. He follows his instincts through the winding tunnels in the dark.
Just as he sees light ahead his fingers brush over a strange pattern of cracks in the wall of the cave. It seems to be some sort of carved grid, but he cannot make out details. He notes the location for later as he climbs out of the tunnel.
It is the evening. He stands near the banana grove. Above him are the sleeping forms of the goblins in their nests in the trees. There are lots of bananas in reach.
There is a sense of rising power in the area. The goblins seem nervous and jittery. Many seem to have nightmares. The biggest one is moaning in his sleep.
There is the sound of chanting and singing off in the distance. He recognizes some of it...there is a summoning taking place!
He revels in the sense that something is coming...he begins to help call it...he is chanting now too in chorus with the other voices far away...and something is on the way...and will arrive soon...here...NOW!!!!!
A bolt of lightning strikes the biggest goblin dead! His tree is set on fire! His smouldering corpse falls to the ground and sets the ground litter alight despite the slight dampness from the rain! The Demon of Flame has ridden his arcing chariot and is driving the goblins from the grove!!!
Flame is lighting up all over the place. But wait! There is another power here! It is fighting the ritual, trying to channel it away from the powers of destruction...
The flaming banana tree lets out a SHRIEK and begins to swing around, hurling droplets of flame all over the place! The smell of roasting bananas sweeps through the forest and some sort of charred, burning face can be seen by the grue...it is a Flaming Banana Golem!
Range blasts is terrified and excited and his blood is pulsing...
And then...the fires begin to die...the golem begins to seem a bit calmer...the other is using her power...there is a Lady out there...a Lady of the Woods, or of the Bananas, or something, and she is protecting the grove!
The golem is mighty and seems to try to resist her power!
Range blasts cannot see her but he can SMELL her...not well, due to the smoke, but occasional snatches of her scent.
Then another power makes itself known...the winds are whipping more angrily, the clouds churn...lightning flashes up in the sky in a terrifying display...and then small chunks of ice begin to fall from the sky, pummelling everyone!
They seem to be shaped like bananas!
Originally posted by iamatigerIamatiger decides to go for the attack. He leaps forward and latches his claws into the beast's haunches, getting a solid grip, and then biting for to disable a leg!
Stealth required, wait until grunter's head is in soil, Fast strike at rear haunch to ideally sever tendons and prevent movement, stay out of reach of horns and use speed to kill it.
He is reminded of a hunt he had long ago...it was iamatiger and a friend against one prey animal...but it was smaller than this Grunter and had no horns. In addition, the Grunter's neck seems to be shorter and better defended by the mighty head and horns than the Hoofer was.

Especially 0:25 - 0:34
This time, he is unable to grab the Grunter up close to the neck and so has his hind paws running as the beast takes off at high speed!
Iamatiger:
Way of the Cat + Claws and Teeth + Surprise = 3
Grunter:
Spirit of Grunter + Horns + Size = 3
He's still holding on but unlike last time there's no ally to help! The Grunter in terror loses control of her bowels and lets loose a big wet fart across the left side of iamatiger's face as the two run along like a six legged beast, iamatiger's teeth latched on to her right buttock! The Grunter is screeching in fear and alarm as she runs!
The weather goes from gently drizzling to windy with flashes of lightning and thunder.
A bolt of lightning strikes off back near where the banana grove is! There's flickering light coming from over there! Fire! The smell of roasting bananas!
Ow! Now it's hailing! It hurts!
