Hempy the Dire Sheep finally made it into one of my games. One of the players was being hosed due a series of bad GM rolls and a few comical choices when I'd decided "ya know, your life can't get any worse."

Hempy appeared in the game shortly after the hunter was running away from various other demi-godly threats and I felt one more encounter with the otherwordly would suit. Sullivan approached, his character exhausted, his player in a mild euphoria caused from asphyxiation from the insurmountable gouts of laughter caused by misfortune just prior, raises his flail up on high over the head of what appeared to be a normal and undefending sheep. He strikes straight and true - only to fall into the endless 'sheep-space" within Hempy's fluff. His legs humorously sticking out of the sheep.

The harmless demi-god sheep then continued on to torture the wayward adventurer while he attempted to hunt down a deer, letting off mind unhinging dire-bleets whenever Sullivan had a clear shot, spooking said deer, then proceeding to fly off like a paperbag in a light updraft. Hempy did this a few more times following.

The first two attempts on the deer's life were interrupted by the bleet of a sheep that had positioned itself directly behind Sullivan as he prepared his shots. The third, Hempy appeared 'in front' of Sullivan while he checked his rear for the blasted sheepy, only to take a bleet in the face.

His fourth attempt on the deer's life would be interrupted by Hempy as it floated down in front of Sullivans view, landing behind the deer and bleeting, once again, its dire bleet of bleety bleetdom, forcing the deer to take flight of foot into the dense forest.

Hempy's nature, being the inside joke of a one-shot that only involved 3 of the 5 players from a prior game meant that only 2 of the people at the table were incapacitated with laughter while the other two smiled confused at the supernatural events that took place, and the sight of an asthmatic reaching for his inhaler.

Memorable Quote of the day: A morbidly deep toned "BL-E-E-E-E-E-EET."
