MARVIN
THE MYTHICAL GOATFISH
Marvin the Mythical Goatfish was a sassy fish who lived beneath a wharf
in the seas of Port Foozle in 1067 GUE. In those days he was wanted by
the Inquisition for dealing in illegal magic contraband. He went
through strenous emotional times, and was wistful for the days when
magic was not a four-letter four. He lucked into a bit of sucken
magical treasure (a crate with the lamp which held the spirit of Dalboz
of Gurth), and was more than paranoid that someone would find it.
When
AFGNCAAP detected a strange glow near the wharf and dared to drop a
fishing hook into the waters, Marvin was upset at his intrusion. Hoping
to draw the treasure out of the water, AFGNCAAP lowered the plastic of
a six-pack holder on a hook. The goatfish was quickly strangled when
the plastic caught around his neck. Before he could perish, a passing
scissor-fish cut the six-pack holder. Marvin surrendered the dock to
the persistant adventurer, allowing him to recover the crate with the
lamp inside.
Marvin was later caught by the
Inquisition and tortured--the eventual cleaning and gutting climaxed
with the goatfish crying out "Freeedom!"
