(Tipity Tap. Tipity Tap). "Haha, you silly spider. If you think that just because you can tap dance with 8 legs you are a sure winner in the next season of "So You Think You Can Dance", think again. Let me show you my super Drow dance moves once I cast the Otto's Irresistable Dance spell."
"Did our dungeon boss just said that a group of adventurers got wiped and their tank dropped a +10 Epic Pants? And he's letting us minibosses to do a Need or Greed roll on it? Omg I'm definitely gonna roll Need! It's about time I get out of this diapers and wear something respectable"
