Spoony Bard is an index.


* '''Straight''': Alice has a hairpin from her [[TragicKeepsake late]] grandmother. Bob has a set of leather armor crafted by his blacksmith friend Charlie. [[SpoonyBard Dave, being a comedian]], has a book full of old jokes, many of which are non-understandable by modern readers. And finally, Felicia loves her [[TrademarkFavoriteFood weird-tasting Troperian Chocolate bars]]. All of those are necessary to defeat [[TheUndead Lich]] [[EvilOverlord Emperor]] [[BigBad Evulz]]. Alice's hairpin opens the pyramid where Evulz bids his time; that pyramid was an elven fortress, and Alice's grandma was an elf. Bob's leather armor nullifies Evulz' world-renowned DeathRay, because [[HoYay Charlie's brotherly love for Bob]] is woven into it. Dave reads his book of obscure jokes, which makes Evulz laughs uncontrollably-- those are the ''best'' jokes from his living days. And while Evulz laugh, Felicia (with great hesitation) throws her Troperian Chocolate into Evulz' open mouth and he actually gulps it down... [[NiceJobFixingItVillain which is his undoing]], [[RefugeInAudacity those chocolates are so weird that they cancel Evulz' undeath]]. The world is saved from Evulz' undead menace!
