Atarah has burst back to life after falling to a gnat.

I go to check it out. Find Atarah idling, being eaten by gnats, so I kill them.
There's a general agreement to claim it was a big bad gnat, because naturally those tiny buggers can't kill someone. Then this happens: (<3 Iosyne for adding to the lols)

(Spinesreach): You say, "No worries, everyone! The big bad gnat has been slain!"

(Spinesreach): Atarah says, "It was massive."

(Spinesreach): You say, "Yuge!"

(Spirean Hunters): You say, "<.<."

(Spinesreach): Cardie says, "Huh-yuuuuuge."

(Spirean Hunters): Kanivara says, "AUGH."

(Tells): In the back of your mind, you hear Atarah saying to you, "// Im dying over here. That was
pretty epic ."

(Spinesreach): You say, "Biggest gnat ever. Like, seriously, it was the biggest gnat in the world."

(Spinesreach): Cardie says, "Ooooh, did you get its name?"

(Spinesreach): You say, "No one defeats big gnats like I do."

(Spirean Hunters): Kanivara says, "Gdi Teani."

(Spirean Hunters): You say, "Killing it today."

(Spinesreach): You say, "I think I'll name it BigWall, because it was at least as big as a wall might be."

(Spirean Hunters): Kanivara says, "Awh fuck it."

(Spinesreach): Kanivara says, "Will its corpse keep Southrons out?"

(Spinesreach): You say, "Without a doubt!"

(Spinesreach): Iosyne says, "A gnat as big as a wall? Sounds like you are spinning some alternative facts, Teani."

"Ha!" Atarah exclaims.

(Spinesreach): You say, "Well, at least they are facts, right?"

(Spirean Hunters): Kanivara says, "*dying of lol*."

Atarah says, "Lady Iosyne joing in the fun."

You snicker under your breath.

(Spirean Hunters): Kanivara says, "Iosyne with the win there lol."

(Spinesreach): You say, "Malevolence, if you would kindly help me depose of this enormous, yuge wall of a
gnat corpse somewhere where the southrons will have to climb over it, I would very much appreciate it."

You say to Atarah, in a feral tongue, "They're so small down south anyway."

(Spinesreach): Iosyne says, "Such an endeavor will no doubt incite costs. Shall we make them pay for it as well?"

(Spinesreach): Kanivara says, "Preferably on the way into the city. They don't pay any shop taxes."

(Spinesreach): Cardie says, "You read my mind, Malevolence. You're good at that. Usually very few can."
