After dismissing Merlin, I summon Sergeant York, who peppers Dorfl's moulded exterior with clay-shattering World War One-era machine gun bullets.
By the way, I'm sorry about the aggression with which I summoned my last character. I was in a hurry, and I didn't read back over the post to make sure it didn't make me sound like a humorless git.
Also, you are in luck, because I am absolutely not well-read by any stretch of the imagination; too often I succumb to the temptations of television, radio, film, internet, and similar confoundments, if 'confoundments' can be a word. See? My ignorance surfaces already. Even this early, I had to think really hard to come up with Sergeant York... now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't have revealed that little wad of facts to you, given that this Fforum is inhabited nigh-exclusively by people obsessed with books. Again, don't shun me please--I hope to be like you someday :)
