Effects of Excessive Ale Consumption

Thrim, Adam of Vesper and Hawkeye Pike made a trip through the Lost Lands, when suddenly in the Valley of Dead, north of Delucia, Hawkeye's vision blurred. Invisible voices were talking to him and frozen figures stood all around him. Something was hitting him and he saw his blood dripping on the ground, but this thing could not be seen! Hawkeye went pale and fled in panic out of the City of Dead. On a large meadow he halted, shouting for his friends. "We are here" a voice said next to him. But he could not see anyone! "Where?!" he shouted "I can't see you!"

Suddenly a strange thing happened. Thrim appeared on his horse, and Hawkeye shook his head in disbelief. He saw Thrim three times! Also two Adams showed up, and one of them spoke to him. "What's wrong Hawkeye?" The pirate closed his eyes and muttered: "Darn ale!" He really was confused of this and decided to leave the Lost Lands as soon as possible. He really had to take better care of his brain cells in the future.

(There was a game bug in the Lost Lands which showed ghost images of monsters and persons, while the real object was invisible)
