What happened

Halric kneels before the assembled court. Maltraxis accepts the submission, strips him of authority, and claims Valador completely. Afterward, a discussion about Hamdik’s beard somehow produces the word ‘dingleberry,’ a mechanical bidet, and the suggestion that Elric resembles a greased pig.

Elric runs. Lucien magically makes him squeal. Stormurinn tackles him; Hamdik casts Shatter; Alaryn makes the pile smell like skunk; Lucien blinds allies, hangs Alaryn upside down, banishes Elric and Stormurinn, and turns Hamdik into a giraffe. Svetlana enters just before giraffe-Hamdik defecates on the floor, changes back, and falls in it. Elric delivers the historical verdict: ‘Hamdik is a dingleberry now.’
