Lesson 24: Run from the main villain when...

"If you are up against a main villain, it is time to run away when you have just vanquished all his forces and he is still smiling." giggled one extremely drunken scholar to the other.

So he turned away, and walked to the local store to buy some. As he entered the town he realized he wasn't in Kansas anymore. In the store he met a mage that had a smell of guano on his hands, and wore a t-shirt that said "I play with fire." That's when our young hero grabbed a box of Cheeseums TM and ran off. Then he (giggle) rounded the corner (snicker) and was confronted (snort) with a....
