Doctors are great, it’s the rest of the health care system that needs to be guillotined.
Played (D&D5e): Librarians Errant. Reshelving Squad Upsilon is called into the boss’s office to find out that Gladys’s minions got busted swiping all the books from the secret crocodile library and not storing them properly. Since the squad didn’t notify anyone, their punishment is to take the books to the Island of Evil Books that Shoggoth Bob came from at the beginning of the campaign. They do get to use Mesoluna’s portable hole to carry the books, at least. Despite the books technically being in a different dimension, though, they get spotted on the path across the bottomless abyss by a manifestation of eyes formed by books placed on shelves on a minor islet, and attacked by flying books and a horrible flaming book golem. Despite Grumman almost being flung to his death, they defeat the minions of whatever it is, and make it to the island where they begin chaining up the worst books and shelving the others. While they are fashioning Library Standard Containment Podiums, a similar manifestation of eyes occurs in the evil books already there, complains about Godwin not having stopped the squad, and makes one of the books in the stack reveal that is actually a draconic frog, or maybe a batrachian dragon. Whatever it is, it swallows Thaïs, who only barely manages to teleport out when it opens its mouth later, leaps about the island, stinks up the place something awful, and absorbs a lot of abuse from the squad. However, there’s only one of it, and librarians can be very abusive, so the second or third time someone tries to banish it to another plane, it fails its save and uses its legendary save power to not come back. We leave our junior librarians on the Island of Evil Books in a frightful state, but surely nothing will happen before they can go home and get cleaned up, right? Right?
