    Well, another possibility is you're with me on an adjacent hook in a smokehouse being turned into tribble bacon while he cures cancer.

    Classics are what CREATE clichés. In other words, it wasn't a cliché when Tollkein wrote it.
     
    edit: But aren't we getting way off topic? I think the point was how many trolls jumped in with misogynist comments, and how unjustified that is regardless of the merits of that person's critique?

    Arrrgh, the demon from the netherworld whose root form is an anthropomorphic crocodile (he can also appear as a stunning young Chinese woman) has piled into the back of a pickup truck as the PCs race after a bunch of bad guys in stolen cars. It is about 2AM local time.
     
    (There's two PCs in one character's Ferrari Spider, but the other three piled into the gardener staff's pickup, which is good, because none of those three actually have the Driving skill.)
     
    GM, narrating conversation in one of the stolen vehicles: "Dude, there's a big-a** alligator in the back of that truck chasing us."
     
    Arrrgh is not trained in use of firearms, but someone hands him a .45 so he is powing away from the back of the truck, nominally at bad guys but really mostly randomly, doing little more than raising his own morale.
     
    GM, continuing narration of conversation in one of the stolen vehicles: "Dude, that big-a** alligator in the back of that truck chasing us is now shooting at us."
     
    After the truck driver spins out but does not wreck the truck, the three guys in the truck do a ethnic fire drill. Arrrgh now is driving ... he's no worse than the guy who had been driving ... and the guy who actually has substantial training in firearms is in the back. Pursuit resumes.
     
    GM, continuing narration of conversation in one of the stolen vehicles: "Dude, that big-a** alligator is now driving the ****ing truck."
     
    Arrrgh, purely through spectacular lucky dice (the GM was sympathetic with, but did not actually provide benefit for, Arrrgh's "DRIVE LIKE HELL!!" battlecry as he stomps on the accelerator) succeeds in getting within a carlength of one target vehicle, though it took the PC sitting beside him physically swatting his hand off the gearshift to keep him from "shifting into R for Race". Elmo, who had been driving, now is in the back of the truck, and shoots up the stolen vehicle and its occupants with great success, so it drops out of the chase (and it doesn't have the big bomb we were after) so the chase of the remaining stolen vehicles continued....

    Vaultwood:
    These 4+ meter fat trees never grow to great heights, reaching only a ten meters at most.  However, they are known by some for a useful, if strange property.  The trunk of the tree near the ground usually grows a fairly large cavity, about a meter tall and half a meter wide.  This cavity can be accessed by one side of the tree, and when cut open can be used to store items.
    The bark regrows over this cut fairly rapidly, and within 2 weeks there is no sign the tree was ever cut away, sealing the materials in side dry and cool away from prying eyes.  Some forest dwelling peoples will use Vaultwood trees for secure storage, remembering the location for picking up items later.
    Vaultwood are found in temperate forested areas and swamps.
