Lady Spooky

Lived in Era 12 and got 1 heir(s) (Spooky).
Once upon a time there lived a little hobbit called Spooky.

No-one knows where Spooky came from and she certainly isn't saying. Rumours abound that she was in some mysterious way related to a famous human from another era, but that is only rumour - and we all know how trustworthy rumour is, don't we children?

Spooky was an exceptional pie-maker. People came from far and wide to buy her pies - meat pies, fruit pies, even vegetable pies. Once Spooky found out that she could sell her pies in the farmers' market she soon started to change from being a poor downtrodden, unwanted, modest little hobbit to being a hobbit of consequence.

Finally one day Spooky was admitted, after much supplication and not a little whining, to the hallowed portals of the Kingdom of ARRSE. Now she knows the secret signs and symbols of the tie and the dreaded number 4 sock and there will be no turning back on the path to conquest, pursuit of treasure and really, really good pies.

Well once Spooky had built up a few modest little pie-making towns she began to turn her attention to other things. It seemed that there were a few thoughtless people - mostly humans - who had built silly little cities that were now restricting the expansion of Spooky's pie-making empire. This could not be tolerated and so Spooky raised an army of brave hobbits, named in honour of a distant relative - the famous hobbit Scary - and she went forth to war.

At first Spooky was a bit afraid because the cities looked quite frightening from outside and she is just a small hobbit, though very brave. However she soon realised they were just like armadillos - a bit hard on the outside but all soft and squishy once you get the shell off. In no time at all she had stomped one city to dust and taken over the other two. Soon the smell of freshly-baked pies was spreading through the deserted streets and the frightened peasants came flocking back.

It was a great day for Spooky and it was even greater when the Mighty King Sumo (may he live forever) of the ARRSE Empire recognised her efforts and she was knighted for services to conquest and pie-making. Why, Spooky even bought a new dress in honour of the day - and she doesn't wear dresses very often I can assure you.

Many battles followed - too many to write about here - and in all of these Spooky learned a little more about tactics and adventuring. The funniest of these battles was the one in which there was a great deal of running around although not by Spooky because halflings only have little legs. Together with her good friend Nicolai she played a fun game of back and forth and round and round, but we won't give too much detail here because we all know that tactics should stay secret - don't we?

And so as Arma approached, Spooky built up her resources and her skills for the approaching doom. Then she retired to her biggest city to wait the end of era destruction. But fear not gentle reader, Spooky will ride again, although she may not look quite the same next time......
