During his time in slavery to the drow, Leo's mistresses had forced him to perform under much more unpleasant conditions that what the hallway was putting him through. All while expecting the same level of quality they expected from every other performance. As a result, it was simplicity itself for SHOOGBIMBHALD to continue maintaining a steely composure as Gurgle-Thump and Splosh-Krack prostrated themselves in awe at the sight of their god passing unhindered through the sickening effects of the hallway.

[b]"Oh Great One!"[/b] Gurgle-Thump rumbled into the floor. [b]"You walk the Heavy Path! You do not wobble! You do not heave! You are stronger than the bad air! How may this unworthy meat serve You?"[/b]

[b]"I have business that I must tend to beyond the door you keep."[/b] SHOOGBIMBHALD declared. [b]"Open it."[/b]

SHOOGBIMBHALD's words caused Splosh-Krack to look up with one eye in a mix of fear and confusion. [b]"But Great Shoog... Big Shoog... Sir,"[/b] Sploosh-Krack stammered. [b]"This is the No-Go Door. High Priest Blibdoolpoolp was very strict. He gave us the Big Order. He said 'Do not let the God in.' He said 'If the Great Shoog comes here you must stop Him.'"[/b]

[b]"Blibdoolpoolp said this?"[/b] SHOOGBIMBHALD said. [b]"He gave you the Big Order?"[/b]

[b]"He said if we let You in... he would be very upset,"[/b] Splosh-Krack continued after struggling to find words for a time. [b]"He said he would hit us with the Punishment Eel. The one with the teeth. But... You are already here. And You look very determined. So we are very confused."[/b]

[b]"Then I will clear up this confusion."[/b] SHOOGBIMBHALD responded. [b]"Blibdoolpoolp is only able to give you the Big Order because I, as the god of this place, allow him to. And as the god of this place, I get to give both the Big Order and the Biggest Order. And the Biggest Order must be followed above all other orders. So here is the Biggest Order, that you must now follow: You are to open this door and let me go through it. Blibdoolpoolp will not be allowed to punish you for following my Biggest Order over his Big Order. If he does, I will bring that same punishment down on him seven times worse upon my return."[/b]
