With that a loud echoing boom eminated throuout the room and flew into the surrounding alley, most people covered their ears but the shop keeper covered his foot apparel, and without another moments notice everyone within a 3 block radius was standing in their bare feet, ther footwear torn off or blown to dust around their toes...

After the sound had stopped the guest noticed the area around his feet was now free of the tight shoes...

"Now you'd better hurry on down to the taylor around the corner, he's gonna' be quite th' busy man this afternoon..." With a pat on the back and letting him off on his way the dwarf turned to the next customer to come in...

"Thank you kind dwarf!" With that said he ran out the door to the taylor's, tripping all the way, even without the boots.

<span style="color: lightblue">A tall, dark haired, man walks swiftly into the shop. As he approaches the counter, his black robes and hair stop moving suddenly. He whacks his staff on the table, and pulls a skull and a deep red gem out of his cloak.
"I want something done with these two items" he says in a semi-menacing voice.
"Today would be preferable."
He smiles gently...
"And just to give you a little... incentive to work"
He motions to the door, which blows gently open at his gesture.
"If that wind gets strong enough, it could quite easily blow this shop, and everything in it, to the middle of a desert that you didn`t know existed. Now work."

<font color="99ff00"> Looking down at his now bare feet, Zevin grabbed the two parts of his device and ran outside excitedly talking about how he could add these small parts to the steam powered wagon outside that he had designed to play beautiful music.

The sound of a monstrous hamster chewing on the building alerted those inside that Rupert was getting bored</font>

The dwarf took out a magnification device and examined the stone profusley, he then looked up with a smile and cheered, "it's a bard-stone!" he planted the red object on the forhead of the skull and it levitated into the air looking about its jaw flapped open and it broke into song... magicing the instrunmental items dangling from the walls to begin playing a jazz-like melody...

Hello my baby hello my honey...

<span style="color: lightblue">The man looks at the now floating skull strangely.
"Can you make it play something else?"

The dwarf then pulls out a large hammer which he slams over the top of the skulls head, it looks about in a dazed fasion after making a nice clunking sound and then begins to wistle... suddenly the nearby skeletons of animals and other peices of remains sitting about in the shop began to get up and start dancing about, suddenly a red beam of energy shoots out and strikes the bewildered customer.

"UH OH!" The shop keep says with delight "They've created a necron flux! Now they'll only sing and dance to the songs you want to hear! and they'll follow you everywhere you go..."

The bones and other undead things creep around the store begining a song and dance number...

<span style="color: lightblue;">The man looks angry
"You IMBECILE!! You burned my robes, and made these... corpses want to see me constantly..."
He waves his hands wildly while muttering something in some other language.
He dissapears in a cloud of smoke, as the wind outside grows stronger...

The skull and its companions dissapear as well, just over the ridge the micheal jackson song "beat it" can be heard...

"huh... so that's the tune that's always on his mind..."

The dwarf snaps his fingers adn the items are magiced back intot he shop after they wobbe around a bit they break free of the bard-skulls magics and rest back into their original poisiont. the stands started togather up on the horizon and then the ground began to shake, the wind ghusted by and grew silent, building on the edge of the skyline, into a huge dark wave of sane, everyone in the town was rushing about panicing but the dwarf seemed relativley calm... The door swung open and the windows started shatering, as the ear-shatering noise of rumbling, quaking, tons of grains of sand drew nearer and blocked out the sun... the customers in the shop ran outside and behind the buildings hoping to obtain better shelter... "Petey," The dwarf said to a frightened parrot-like bird in a cage,"Would you remind the customers to close the door on their way out next time?"

"Alright petey its time to do your thing" the shopkeeper said to the small and unhealthy looking bird...

"go on then" the bird looked at him in protest but blanted its talons firmly on the bottom of its cage

"alright now start flappin' ... oh wait"

The dark wave of sand grew closer...

"not just yet..."

The howling of the wind was defening

"not just yet..."

the wave began to turn inward like a large tsunami on the open sea about to crash into land...

"alright flap!"

The bird flapped its wings fureously and suddenly the sound of squeaking metal resoudned throughout the floor, the bird began to break out into a sweat as it strained its back mustles while flapping its wings, the building, like magic, began to lift up from its foundation, which was attached to the bird cages pedastle as the center, the bird alone just flapping his wings inside of the small store was lifting it free from the earth!

"thats it petey you can do it!"

It cleared the huge wave of sand just as it crashed down onto the unsuspecting, and fairly frightened townsfolk and in a matter of seconds all that stood abou twas a giant sand dune and the floating item shop, it started to plummet from the air and crashed atop the highest point of the dune.

"ey boy! you have to work on thos landings..."

everyone in the town stuck their head from out of the sand, and looked about bewildered, either that they'd survived the whole monstrocity or that they were up to their kneck in sand with just one house still standing...

"this might be good for busines... Hey I wonder what happened to that angry mage fellow?"

Off in the distance the echoing sound of "Just beat it... beat it... beat it.... beat it...." could be heard... It even sounded like the mage was singing along with the skull, getting out a large telescope the dwarf examined the siloute of the mage, drenched in sand, with his new skull companion, dancing about and hicking their heels up into the air as they sang micheal jackson tunes together, dancing off into the sunset...

"well now ain't that cute..."
