Okay, Beard, we need to get out of here.
“Just a moment," said Beard. “I need something for my feet. How about these boots?”
Beard held up a pair of vibrant red rain boots.
“I don't think red is a good idea in this world, buddy.”
“Mmm, okay, I'll take these thick leather boots. You think so?”
Ned nodded in confusion. From outside the armory came the sounds of battle: shouts, clashing metal, galloping horses.
“May I take these candies with me?,” said Beard. “I feel they might be useful later…”
“Take the candies and let's get out of here before it's too late.”
Beard put the candies in his pocket, walked to the door and stood in a fighter's stance, sword held high.
“Where are you going?,” Ned said.
“Didn't we have to get out of here?”
“Not through the door. Do you really want us to get killed?”
“Is there a cave entrance or something? We're going to kill some bats and cave bears, Ned!”
“Ehh, yeah, something like that Beard.”
Ned headed for a small door at the back of the armory. Beard followed him. They entered the dirtiest bathroom they had ever seen in their lives.
“You'd better get your new boots in your hand, Beard,” Ned said as he lifted a lid on the floor.
They descended into a narrow, dark tunnel. A thick liquid ran down almost to their knees.
“It's not water, is it, Ned?”
“If you stick your hand in, you're bound to find some shit coins, Beard.”

"Wait. There are coins in there?" Beard said and immediately began digging around in the oozing liquid. "I think you're lying to me Ned. Nothing here but shit." He shook filth off his hands and then caught up with Ned, wiping his hands on Ned's back when he did.
"Quit pushing me Beard I don't want to fall over in this stuff!"
"Where are the bats at Ned? You said there would be bats!"
All of sudden, they saw an area where the ground rose up above the sewage river. They walked slowly onto the rock formation. "I can't believe we had to sludge through that river of shit!" said Beard. "That wasn't shit", said Ned, "it was a malted milk chocolate stream!" Ned cupped his palm and placed his hands into the river, scooping up some of the slimy , brown mess and drinking it slowly, with his eyes closed. "Mmm ... that's the stuff!" @ecosaint
"What the hell is THAT."
@Ned pointed towards the cave ahead. There was a cube floating in the middle of the air with a question mark painted on it.
"This is from your brain, isn't it!" Ned looked angry. "I don't like this one bit! I was horrible at Super Mario 64 growing up!"
Beard walked under the cube and then pointed his fist upwards.
