Cromwell zaps a wand'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority.
'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed.  I am
Gandalf the White, who has returned from death.  You have no
colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council.'
He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice.
'Saruman, your staff is broken.'  There was a crack, and the
staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it
fell down at Gandalf's feet.  'Go!' said Gandalf.  With a cry
Saruman fell back and crawled away.

Oh no! It's using   
the touch of death[Pestilence:] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four
beasts saying, Come and see.  And I saw, and behold a white
horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

[War:] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the
second beast say, Come and see.  And there went out another
horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon
to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one
another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

[Famine:] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the
third beast say, Come and see.  And I beheld, and lo a black
horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his
hand.  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley
for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

[Death:] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.  And I looked, and
behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.  And power was given unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Ogden gives you a   
chestDantes rapidly cleared away the earth around the chest.  Soon
the center lock appeared, then the handles at each end, all
delicately wrought in the manner of that period when art made
precious even the basest of metals.  He took the chest by the
two handles and tried to lift it, but it was impossible.  He
tried to open it; it was locked.  He inserted the sharp end
of his pickaxe between the chest and the lid and pushed down
on the handle.  The lid creaked, then flew open.
Dantes was seized with a sort of giddy fever.  He cocked his
gun and placed it beside him.  The he closed his eyes like a
child, opened them and stood dumbfounded.
The chest was divided into three compartments.  In the first
were shining gold coins.  In the second, unpolished gold
ingots packed in orderly stacks.  From the third compartment,
which was half full, Dantes picked up handfuls of diamonds,
pearls and rubies.  As they fell through his fingers in a
glittering cascade, they gave forth the sound of hail beating
against the windowpanes.

j - iron hookBut as for Queequeg -- why, Queequeg sat there among them --
at the head of the table, too, it so chanced; as cool as an
icicle.  To be sure I cannot say much for his breeding.  His
greatest admirer could not have cordially justified his
bringing his harpoon into breakfast with him, and using it
there without ceremony; reaching over the table with it, to
the imminent jeopardy of many heads, and grappling the
beefsteaks towards him.

You pull in the     
Wizard of YendorNo one knows how old this mighty wizard is, or from whence he
came.  It is known that, having lived a span far greater than
any normal man's, he grew weary of lesser mortals; and so,
spurning all human company, he forsook the dwellings of men
and went to live in the depths of the Earth.  He took with
him a dreadful artifact, the Book of the Dead, which is said
to hold great power indeed.  Many have sought to find the
wizard and his treasure, but none have found him and lived to
tell the tale.  Woe be to the incautious adventurer who
disturbs this mighty sorcerer!

You cast wizardEbenezum walked before me along the closest thing we could
find to a path in these overgrown woods.  Every few paces he
would pause, so that I, burdened with a pack stuffed with
arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his
wizardly strides.  He, as usual, carried nothing, preferring,
as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring
and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.

The green slimeThese giant amoeboid creatures look like nothing more than
puddles of slime, but they both live and move, feeding on
metal or wood as well as the occasional dungeon explorer to
supplement their diet.

But we were not on a station platform.  We were on the track ahead
as the nightmare, plastic column of fetid black iridescence oozed
tightly onward through its fifteen-foot sinus, gathering unholy
speed and driving before it a spiral, re-thickening cloud of the
pallid abyss vapor.  It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster
than any subway train -- a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic
bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes
forming and unforming as pustules of greenish light all over the
tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic
penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its
kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.
