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.”
