Lud isn't phased by this, "Its been going on now for over a week" he says. "At least hey haven't smashed my "broom" barrel". He then walks over to a barrel full of brooms and pitch forks. "Ah, there's my favorite" and retrieves a rather long fork from the barrel. As he wields the long fork it begins to glow red. "That's new..." Lud says and then collapses on the ground unconscious. after several attempts, Joe the Barbarian is able to fully grasp the Long Fork. Then walking down the stairs is a middle eastern man, wearing sandals, a Hawaiian shirt over a T shirt that says "SAVES". The party also note that is wearing a crown of thorns and is capped off with a halo.
