My friends and I have never really been 
                                          the adventurous types, and watching 
                                          those barbarians in action really got 
                                          our blood boiling.”  
                                           
                                          Kauffman and his friends decided to 
                                          gather up as many acquaintances as they 
                                          could, dress in barbarian garb, and 
                                          ransack the neighboring town of Conover. 
                                          “It really seemed like a good 
                                          idea at the time,” stated Kauffman. 
                                           
                                          Marie Bisclavret was the first resident 
                                          of Conover to see the approaching horde 
                                          of middle-aged raiders. “They 
                                          came over the hill and down Main Street, 
                                          killing and setting fire to houses as 
                                          they went. All of them were armed with 
                                          some form of weapon. Several had swords 
                                          and knives, and there were a bunch I 
                                          saw that brandished axes or clubs. The 
                                          leader looked like he was wearing a 
                                          bearskin.” 
                                           
                                          “Actually it was the sheepskin 
                                          seat covers from my Toyota Corolla,” 
                                          said Kauffman. 
                                           
                                          The attack lasted most of the night, 
                                          and local police were powerless to stop 
                                          the invaders, who cut down as many Conover 
                                          residents as they could, before stopping 
                                          to have a feast on the steps of the 
                                          local library after ransacking a convenience 
                                          store and a Dunkin Donuts. 
                                           
                                          “They made a huge pile of human 
                                          heads from the people they killed,” 
                                          said Bisclavret, “and then they 
                                          all sat down to eat beef jerky and apple 
                                          cinnamon twists. It was truly the most 
                                          horrifying thing I have ever seen.” 
                                           
                                          The attack sort of ran it’s course 
                                          early in the morning, and the group 
                                          withdrew from the town and back to Belgrove, 
                                          leaving Conover residents to pick up 
                                          the pieces. 
                                           
                                          “It was a tragedy,” said 
                                          a Conover shopkeeper, as he examined 
                                          the charred remains of his store. “We’ll 
                                          be ready for them next time though. 
                                          We’re assembling a contingent 
                                          of archers, cavalry, and we’re 
                                          fortifying the town with higher walls 
                                          and defensive siege engines.”
