"A bad worker blames his tools."
Grumblegut the Ogre is usually a very confident smasher of things, but today he is trying to be delicate. He wants to carve a giant stone centipede as a birthday present for his favorite aunt, Auntie Gravel-Guts! The only problem is that every time he taps his chisel, the stone shatters. Panic bubbles in his belly because the birthday is tomorrow!
Instead of slowing down, Grumblegut loses his temper and blames everything but himself:

"Those who sleep don't catch any fish." – Italian Proverb
Gerald the Duck is, without a doubt, the most magnificent duck in Snaggleton. He has cloud-white feathers, a polished orange beak, and a very dignified waddle. He is also, unfortunately, rather lazy! Lately, Gerald has decided that waking up early to hunt for delicious Sludge-Snails in the castle moat is far too "inconvenient".
Because he loves his beauty sleep, Gerald starts waking up late—only to find that the other ducks have already eaten every single snack in the water! When N...

It was a boring day in Snaggleton. The air felt stale, and the sky was a flat, featureless sheet of grey. Fergus O’Gold didn't care about his gold, Sir Chucklenugget thought the stone was too hard, and the Terrible Trio couldn't even be bothered to smash rocks. A heavy "Boredom Fog" rolled in from the Whispering Woods, making everyone feel grumpier and heavier by the second.
