hehe. I was about to post "That depends. Is it African, or European?", when I realised that you had said African.

They meet up with Burnum, who had gotten impatient at all the Habinabits who were babling on about Monty Python, had gone into the cave. There were stacks of money lining the walls. They felt like ants in this huge cavern. Just then they felt the earth shake and it grew dark. A huge beast blocked the caverns enterance...
Aschaaf saves his latest world file.

"Leave it to me!", shouts aschaaf_86. He opens MASCOT on his iBook, selects the right level, scrolls franticly, selects the monster, and presses delete. The monster vanishes.
Yippee! The monster vanashes. Everyone is in merriment until MASCOT crashes Aschaaf's iBook. Aschaaf reboots his iBook while mumbling something. You see, he forgot to save, and well, that was a lot of hard work that was just lost. Luckly Burnum has a copy of Flashback and uses it to rewind to acouple of posts ago. He then inserts "Aschaaf saves his latest world file." The moster appears, Aschaaf has the briliant idea of deleting it, the iBook crashes, but it reboots and everything is fine.

Suddenly a band of goblins jumb out from behind a bunch of rocks. Within seconds a flying dagger knocks aschaff's iBook into a shadowy cavern. Von Smasher sets a psionic storm upon many of the goblins as he decapitates a couple of closer ones with his sword. Ferazel and Burnum set aflame the goblins with fireball spells, as aschaff blinds them with the Apple optical mouse that we bribed him with. Within a few seconds, the goblins are dead.
Ferazel suggests that aschaaf inserts a teleporter. It doesn't work, and they are teleported to a boss level.
------------------ Ferazel Rocks! Cythera's 'Team Stories' Rock!
As they franticly try to scramble onto the three pedastals (It's "Manditraki Warrior"), aschaaf_86 gets left behind. He shoves Burnum off his pedastal, and clambers onto it. Burnum shoves aschaaf_86 off, and they start fighting. The Warrior attacks them. "I'll save you!" Von Smasher shouts, as he drops a boulder onto the monsters head.
"Stop fighting! You'll be killed if you fight like that!" Ferazel shouts, and drops two boulders.
Burnum spin jumps at the lower right hand of the screen. He lands in a ziridium brine pool. Aschaaf, jumps down and pushes Burnum out of the pool (greedy fellow ain't he?) and so Burnum goes up on one of the pedistals. He opens FerazEdit and gives him the tree trunk spell and starts making tree turnks on the other pedistals, which fall down onto the warrior and crush him (A trick he learned in the Manditraki Wizard level). Soon the peaceful smooth music is turned on and everyone walks over to the Ziridium Brine pools for a bath.

Turns out, the teleporter that Ferazel suggested turned into a bug that caused instead of exits in the boss levels, they would lead to the next boss. They would have to beat the Manditraki Wizard, Goblin Chief and Fire Guardeans before they would be back where they were.

Von Smasher sees the futue and says,"That's gotta suck." "What?" says the rest of the party in unison. "You'll see........" mumbles Von Smasher.
He was right. There was no exit at the end of Manditraki Warrier. There was a teleporter. It then took them to the Goblin Chief. Everyone started casting spells and jumping.
"Take that, you fiend!" aschaaf_86 shouts as he flings a PC at the goblin.
Burnum uses the Tree Trunk spell, and everyone climbed on the wall and fired spells (A trick I learned), or PCs as aschaaf did. After a while, the Goblin Chief was dead. They all went on the next teleporter, and they were at Manditraki Wizard.

Burnum opens the world data in ResEdit. He deletes all the boss levels. He then realizes that he deleted his friends who were in the Manadaktri Wizzard level. He finds a copy of the world data floating around and pastes Manadaktri Wizzard back in.
He jumps back in to the level. Aschaf is distracting the Wizzard and jumping the fireballs that the Wizzard is throwing at him. Burnum uses the AOL disc spell and starts throwing AOL discs like frisbees at the wizzard. Ferazel is on the rocks above trying to hit the Wizzard from above. Von Smasher was able to jump on the cliff and climb up to the very top of the level. Large object thrown off the cliff would gain momentum and cause more damage that way. Finally the Wizzard was dead and they all teleported back to where they started (because Burnum deleted the other boss levels).
The group then continued on. They soon found that they were nearing the Great Western Desert. They found the area that they had to clear in five minutes...
They decided the best way was to take it like a relay race. Ferazel would be the habinat at the end. Burnum would hit the trigger and start off. And everyoned else would be stationed at the place they could do best. Some decided to pick up the treasures throughout the level while the others raced through it. Everyone got in their positions, and Burnum hit the trigger. Up into the cannons. Shoot, wait, run, jump, fly, shoot, run, jump, fly. He made it through his section and aschaff took over...
