Cel and I have finally discovered a way to defeat the insect demons that usurped his garden and torment our front lawn. Victory is nigh! We tested it by spritzing the concotion on a piece of iron butterfly wing that Cel's
sacrificial/negotiator goblin lopped off with his goblin claws before the angered butterfly bit off his goblin head.* The wing-bit, previously indestructible by flame, steel or toddlers, withered instantly. All we have to do is make enough of the stuff to completely wipe out their militia. Celeborn is enhancing a couple of Super Soakers right now. The storage tubes have to be lined with lead to contain the new pesticide.
The only cause for concern we've had thus far was a squirrel that fell into the basement through a vent at an inconvenient time and landed in a puddle of chemicals. Its fur turned completely jet black, and it immediately eviscerated a pigeon with a flying kung fu chop. And yet,
Jareth has drunk gallons of the stuff and he hasn't changed at all, so I see no reason to worry.
Must go. Poison to mix.
*If their claws are so effective, why don't we simply deploy my goblin minions to take the evil butterflies down, you may ask. To you, we say, ssshhhhhh, bugger off.
