->"Oy! Fat, green, and slimy!"\\
The Great Unclean One blinked its filmy eyes and looked down in annoyance at the one soldier who'd interrupted its speech. The man looked older than most of the soldiers attacking it, but such a small difference in age meant little to a Greater Daemon.\\
He had a nice hat, though.\\
"Did your pappy Nurgle hit you with an ugly stick when he made you," the Count's Champion yelled, "because by the gods, you’re a real blight on the eyes, you are!"\\
The Greater Deamon threw back his head and laughed, which surprised the Champion enough that he stopped attacking and backed up a few paces.\\
"OF COURSE HE DID, MY DEAR BOY!" it boomed once its joyous laughter ceased. "OUR GRUBBY GRANDFATHER KEEPS HIS UGLY STICK IN THE SHED BEHIND HIS MANSION, AND HE NEVER FAILS TO BLESS US WITH ITS BOUNTIFUL GIFTS WHENEVER HE BRINGS ANOTHER OF US, HIS GREATEST CHILDREN, INTO THE WORLD! BUT THANK YOU REGARDLESS, CHILD! I'M FLATTERED THAT YOU NOTICED!"
