The Adventure to the Library

With this news, his world had turned upside down. Before him sat an Ancient Gnomish Prophet, Medivh ((Who was really just Keedriel, a Blood Elf toying with Fizzlebrain's damaged mind)). The prophet spoke of a great uprising: The Dolphins and vile Dwarves taking over all the world. The status of Fizzlebrain's friends was revealed to him as well: his fallen comrade Disgusto Dwarf-Slayer ((A simple bowl of grain and mead)) would return as a ghost and betray him; Fizzlebrain's friend Henry ((A tree)) would be doomed to a fate unknown to all...
There was no way to stop this coming chaos, he was warned by the Prophet. And Fizzlebrain was told he could not fight back, he could only plan and brace himself for "Disghosto" and the treachery his old ally would bring. Not a simple plan would do, though. It would need to be written in a code, as to protect it from unwanted reading. The code was to consist of Zandali cipher, written in the Erudun alphabet. Such was the prophecy of the great Gnome, Medivh.

Such knowledge for the code could not be found in Orgrimmar, however. Fizzlebrain would have to venture to a far away land, and find a library suitable for his learning needs. The Stormwind Library was to be his destination.

For several months ((Days, heavily misconstrued in the mind of this madman)) he limped toward the human lands, his magical healing cast (( A roasted ham he was currently using as a cast)) bearing down upon him heavily as he wandered on. His wounds from his previous battle against the terrible spider-people chicken-thieves ((Innocent dwellers of Timbermaw hold, thought to be evil only by maddened delusion)) pained him greatly, but still he pressed on heroically.

In time, after travelling through six different elemental plains, excavating a mountain, battling a kraken, and sending cannibalistic humans into the Twisting Nether, ((crossing simple zones, entering a cave, falling into a lake, and setting fire to rabbits)) he arrived at the human city. The humans were not pleased.

He survived this onslaught, and did manage to make his way back a fortuitous Elven Stronghold ((The Orcish town of Stonard)) and seek help. Many a good Draenei ((Orc)) aided him in returning to the city, more prepared.

He returned to the city, dressed in an elaborate and hauntingly realistic Human costume ((Padded clothing and shag carpeting, making him look more a Dwarf than a human. Complete with a Human Male Mask)) was able to fool everyone into believing he was a human ((Making most people believe he was a dwarf who thought himself to be a human)). As if his disguise wasn't great enough, his human speech skills were impeccable: “Speak the common tongue, tell them very often that you are a human and not a goblin, and take the creative name of Bizzlefrain.”

He sought to find a "Fellow Human" to escort him to the library. This search took days to complete, as many of his "Fellow Humans" ((Often neither fellow nor human)) preferred to turn him down, or lead him to incorrect places. The Human Keep that was full of Sharks ((The Harbor)) was not the Human Keep desired, but where he often found himself. Despite his great reward offered, a “high quality unit of Human payment” ((A useless block of scrapped wood he was tricked into purchasing)) , and even his backup reward, “useless Goblin money” ((A sack containing One Hundred Gold)), he found nobody to aid him.

This was only so until a kind human woman ((Gentyl)) found it in herself to help the man.

The Library was an exciting sight, and sure to bring about the information needed to thwart the conquering of the world. He offered his high quality Human payment to the human, but she asked for no payment.

After she took her leave, another of his "Fellow Humans" ((Lahkin)) lingered behind to help Bizzlefrain find the books he needed. The human did so, bringing forth a tome containing information he sought ((A possibly unhelpful book entitled "Fel Magic and its effects on the mind")) before he too departed.

Bizzlefrain, the real human man was alone, surrounded by these books that were the key to his victory! He checked a few usefull ((Possibly useless or unrelated)) out ((Hid them in his disguise)) and peacefully left the City ((Stole a few books from the City)).

His time was drawing near. He could begin his work to save the world! ((Carry out a series of pointless tasks that aid nobody in any way))

He'd been so sure the goblin-human-dwarf thing had been Meshqa, but Meshqa couldn't possibly be that addled. ...could he?

Lahkin tossed the wooden block back and forth in his hands as he rode home. The goblin--he was pretty sure it had been a goblin--either seemed to think the Alliance was stupid or that he really was a human. He was very careful in letting Lahkin know what he "really" was, telling him he was greeting him in a human way, thanking him in a human way, and even reading his human books in a human way.

No... No infiltrator worth their salt would be THAT foolhardy. Really, it was only the constant mentions of "Her" and the "evil things" "She" would do to goblins that made Lahkin wonder. The evil "Her" had been a human woman. Faithe was a human woman. The evil "Her" had a vendetta against goblins. Faithe probably did too. It was a long stretch, but maybe if Meshqa had thought it'd earn his side some support... Even the goblin's name for his employer, "Medivh", was similar. Nevermind that Medivh was a powerful mage and would never let anyone work for him--or work for someone who was named after him.

Lahkin shook his head. The goblin had had a name for the Evil Her, and it wasn't Faithe. It was Sunchaser. Sepha knew Sunchaser as a female tauren working for the Horde, but the goblin had insisted that Sunchaser was the human queen of Stormwind. She chased suns around so she could kill them and use them for her nefarious purposes in torturing poor innocent goblins.

Faithe did use the Light....

Lahkin almost laughed out loud. No, it didn't seem like something Meshqa would do, even if he were desperate. It was as silly a notion as Imperon using Charitye to attack the Pia Presidium.

The goblin was harmless, at least, as harmless as a goblin capable of throwing fireballs in a library full of flammable books could possibly be. Lahkin only hoped the goblin would make good use of the book he had shown him. He didn't know if the goblin's off-balanced mind had been caused by Fel exactly, but it was a start, wasn't it? Certainly more useful than the book "Imps and Footbomb, How to Cheat at a Classic Goblin Game" that he'd found in the same section...

Two hours of constant interpretive dance had yet to awaken the magics locked deep within The Essential Darnassian Cookbook, and the reason why was yet to be figured. Perhaps his sense of pride outweighed the spritual dances, and covered the mystial aroma of the rotting frog? This would just take time, then. He could not help but feel accomplished, after fooling the weak-minded humans into believing his guise.
Still, trapped within his maze of mind laid doubt. The look on that human man's face at the mention The Human Queen ((Sunchaser, unfittingly titled)) hinted that he knew something. Even a "Fizzle Brain" could tell that much.

What had the human known known, though? Was the human a friend? A foe? Was his beloved Human Queen in danger, now that he had spoken to this strange human man? Unlikely, the human man would have to know his own queen.
But what was Her role in this? Did She seek to harm the Chaser of the Suns? And what had Disgusto done?
How could he hope to stop the all-powerful Her, and protect all he had left?

There were questions, so many questions to fathom... Dwelling on them would do no good. He returned to introspective gloating over how muddled the humans must be, after his perfect heist.

Another book would suit him. This legendary copy of Famous Gnomish Court Cases: The Tonkwobbler Years would teach him to speak in demonic tongues, if this next ritual was done right.
Now where did he put that golf club...?

((Also: Look out, citizens of Azeroth! Gentyl's rocket has inspired Fizzlebrain to purchase his own.
And as one might imagine, a madman and a rocket are a bad combination. Thanks, Sepha! ))
