Combat continued for some time, the monkey's deft hands deflecting the
swords without injury. Astra had managed to slice the monkey across the
chest, and Lord Fred had gotten in a good jab, but both of them had bite
marks from those quite frankly horrifying teeth. The monkey kept hopping around, biting and slapping swords and biting and flinging poo and biting. Consequently, Lord Fred and Astra were also very tired and in need of baths. "Confound you, foul creature," said Lord Fred, missing another mighty swing. "Stand still so we can slay you!". The monkey was not inclined to oblige, hopping up to bite Lord Fred in the nose. Astra saw her chance, and stabbed clear and true, finally slaying the beast. "So," she said, cleaning her blade, "what was up with all that banana craziness anyway?" "Ah," said Lord Fred, looking sheepish. "I do not know what came over me. So sorry." Astra shrugged. "Good throw though, I didn't previously classify bananas as a deadly weapon. I do now. Shall we?" "Let's," says Lord Fred, and they return to the Stone Palace. "there will surely be other dangers ahead. Do you think we should go in the front or look for a back entrance to the palace? Surely there must be a place from which they toss refuse."
