Another Bible story, this time ch2. verses 23-25 of the Second book of Kings.

Nice cameo from the Fox Guards.  Pity about the children, though...


I always thought this would make an interesting short film, especially if the bears materialise like in Star Trek or something.  And it turns out I'm not alone, there are quite a number of interpretations of this kicking around on youtube.

...Tape, I'm starting to think you've been reading entirely too much scripture.

EDIT: Wait, did Merlin sneak in an RE cover?  Tricksy, tricksy...

Probably.  I was told as a kid that since much of our culture is derived from the Bible, it is necessary to have at least some understanding of it, regardless of whether or not you believe in it.

As it happens I nearly scrapped this script because I remembered that monster summoning is par for the course in DHS-land, which kind of diminishes its effectiveness.  Then Merlin pointed out that you can only summon monsters and not wild animals, so it worked out in the end.

I kinda wonder why monsters can be summoned but not wild animals. Or for that matter, where do the monsters go when they're unsummoned...

Oh well. I just wish Bear summoning was a thing. Something seems more effective about summoning an animal than a monster, and I'm not sure why... imagine summoning a cassowary on someone...
