Taking all bets...

[golentan]

Okay, so Elan evidently tripped over something, assuming it wasn't a rule of funny one shot.

What do you think it is? Silly allowed. Serious guesses should be spoilered.

My personal bet is on the Lamp containing the soul of an archmage, who will lead him underground on zany adventures to overthrow the High Inquisitor and restore magic to the world.

[derfenrirwolv]

Robin Williams sealed in a can.

[El Llamita]

Las manos de Perón.

[Weimann]

Over 9000 desert bees.

[Starscream]

A bottle containing a beautiful blond genie in harem pants who immediately declares Elan to be her "Master", and promises to fulfill his every wish while causing humorous misunderstandings all the while.

Haley one-shots her.

[Edwin]

A tiny animated chest with fighter levels, focused on tripping.

Oh yeah. :smallwink:

[Surfing HalfOrc]

I've seen people say "mimic" several times, but Elan's luck would protect him from something that dire. I've also heard "the capstone to the pyramid" that is Gerard's dungeon (Sort of like The Lost City)

My guess? Elan will fall into a giant antlion's nest, charm the beast, and find the entrance to Girard's domain that way.

[Dire Moose]

A box containing an infinite amount of rabid dire badgers.

[Jokasti]

Pelor.
Or mummies. Maybe both.

[Setra]

An illusion of a treasure chest that is actually the entrance to the dungeon containing the gate?

Elan is pretty lucky so I could see it, especially since it was just said there was no chance of it happening. Though I don't know why an Epic Illusionist would hide that so easily.

[Jokasti]

Because,
IT'S A TARP!

[Edwin]

Because,
IT'S A TARP!

So it's really a piece of waterproof clothing? :smallamused:

[Conuly]

I'll take the long shot and say "treasure".

[Dagny]

In a treasure chest?

Murray.

[Wou]

It's the gate itself, Girard was lazy

[Jokasti]

So it's really a piece of waterproof clothing? :smallamused:

What do you think a chest is?

[Edwin]

What do you think a chest is?

Good point, except clothing is very rarely made of metal. Unless you count armor as clothing, of course.

That spoony bard!

[silvadel]

Actually a treasure chest -- the kind of thing to convince people looking in the area that the chest is what was in the area so they will move along.

[Ubergeek]

You've activated my TRAP CARD!

[Jokasti]

You've activated my TRAP TARP CARD!

Fix'd it for ya.
When will these people learn?

[Teddy]

You mean those annoying giant bugs that swarms out of the sand and tries to eat you whenever you aren't activly trying to splat them with your high-speed buggy (which in 50% of the cases will plunge into a pond and be rendered immobile until you blast it up again)? I sure hope that Elan has got some of that yucky substance that they seems to be so fond of.

(Half-Life 2 reference for those who don't know.)

[Somewhere]

Mountain of lost left socks

[AlfredAmeoba]

A sign bearing the message- "Yeah, did you really think that anything would stay at the same level relative to the sand? That stuff does move. Have fun digging."

[Logalmier]

A portal that leads to Girads Gate.

[Dixieboy]

Mountain of lost left socks

I've been looking for this fabled sockerado for years! The place where all left socks go when it feel it is their time, though you most certainly don't.

[golentan]

I've been looking for this fabled sockerado for years! The place where all left socks go when it feel it is their time, though you most certainly don't.

I've always wondered. How do you tell which sock is supposed to be the left one? They're little cloth tubes. It don't follow that they differentiate based on sides other than up and down, what were indicated solely by presence or absence of a heel.

In other news, my attempt to indicate a speech pattern similar to John Cleese's incredulous parrot shop scene has failed. I hereby vote that Elan has found a parrot, deceased, in a cage in the treasure chest.

[Kareasint]

It's exactly like Roy said. If Elan walks around long enough, he will stumble across anything and everything. Silvadel's point is valid and that is why the chest contains:

Treasure.

The average PC says "Hey! We found it!" They then pack the treasure into their bags and wander back the way they came only to find later that the treasure has turned into sand. The treasure is an illusion.

For the OOTS, they are distracted by it for a few minutes but three members of the team are still searching via True Seeing.

[Mariel Dragon]

A klein bottle containing all that has been suggested, is being suggested, and will be suggested in this thread, including itself.

[rewinn]

The treasure chest contains Davy Jones' still-beating heart!

...thus leading to Elan's second undersea adventure and Belkar's transformation into a non-breathing, 401k-disdaining fish (...which is allergic to birthday cake)!!!!!!

[Shyftir]

Atlantis. or maybe Jimmy Hoffa's body.

[Liwen]

Fix'd it for ya.

No we shall not

Now try to 'fix' that!

I'm feeling lazy I think. I just made the same joke over two threads under 5 mins... or was it more like 10

[Turkish Delight]

The Snarl. Elan will open the chest, the Snarl will eat everything, and the comic will end.

In the oceans of the world within the rift, of course.

[El Llamita]

I'm betting sand, at least some.


Unless the chest is vacuum sealed.


In that case I'm betting vacuum.

[Spiky]

What it is does not matter. It will soon belong to Haley. One way or another.

[drengnikrafe]

The Linear Guild.

[Herald Alberich]

And the winner is .... One-Off Gag! Congratulations!
