Episode 3: shadow announces one of shadow's favourite tricks! The one where the magician pulls a scarf out of their sleeve... and pulls... and pulls... and pulls... because this is obviously a VERY LONG SCARF! Scritch hasn't been paying attention though, and pounces on the scarf, in the typical manner of kittehs pouncing on anything that moves! Meanwhile, Nibbles is feeling secretly relieved that this magic trick appears to have worked, because (just between you and me), that is not always the case with Nibbles' magic tricks!

Episode 4: But, in typical Nibbles the Not so Magnificent fashion, there appears to be a slight hiccup? Because that darned scarf just keeps on coming... and coming... and coming... wrapping itself all around poor old Nibbles, binding him tighter and tighter...
Although Nibbles' lips aren't actually moving, his thoughts are racing along, recalling AND reciting every single incantation Nibbles has ever learned! One on top of t'other. Faster and faster! Until...

Episode 5: ...KaBoom!!! That's exactly what happens when a Not so Magnificent Magician recites incantations, one on top t'other. Faster and ev'r faster! Until everything hits the fan! Some things vaporise. Other things are reduced to atomic particles, small enough to be relocated in time and space. Even a bus? Which begs the question: does our Not so Magnificent Magician actually have the magical skills to reconstitute them all on the other side??? Stay tuned to find out!

Episode 6: While the rest of the team trundled onwards, Scritch stopped briefly to paw at one of the little toads, curious about how high she could make it leap. So it's no surprise that Scritch was caught unawares when an ethereal green spirit kitteh snuck up on her from behind! Scritch tried to turn around, caterwauling, yowling and hissing her displeasure at the inappropriate treatment she was receiving, wondering when the rest of the team would notice that she had been waylaid?

Episode 7: Formulating a strategy to escape from the wicked ethereal green spirit kitteh, Scritch rolled over and played dead, catching the kitteh off guard. And when the kitteh turned around to politely cough up a phantom hairball, Scritch seized the opportunity, and made her escape!

Episode 8: Hiding behind a pumpkin, Scritch snickered to herself, as the wicked ethereal green spirit kitteh searched high and low for Scritch, but to no avail! As soon as the opportunity presented, Scritch would hightail it back to the team, vowing to never again allow her curiosity to cause her to become separated from them!

Episode 9: Oh noes, what mischief is this, thinks Nibbles, as rats start bubbling up everywhere from within the slimy swamp? Al waves his arm, trying to shoo the rats away, but all to no avail, as they just keep rising to the surface!

Episode 10: More and more rats appear, overrunning the Swamp, and swarming all over the team, which has become immobilised with fear!

Something has to be done about this!!!

Episode 11: Nibbles takes out his trusty wand, and begins playing it like a flute, mesmerising all of the pesky rodents, who fall into line behind Nibbles and the team, as they resume their journey through the murky Swamp...

Episode 12: Like any other skill, magic needs to be practiced regularly, so Nibbles decides to put on an impromptu Magic Show for the little toads that have been helping the team along their journey through the Swamp. For Nibbles' first trick, he plans to pull a rabbit out of his hat. Lucky for Nibbles, this is the first Magic Show that any of the little toads have ever seen, so they don't realise that the blue scaly monster that Nibbles pulls out is not exactly what he had intended to conjure! Nonetheless, Nibbles shoves it back into the hat, and tries again...

Episode 13: Nibbles reversed the magic words he had used when he conjured a blue scaly monster instead of the rabbit he was trying to conjure, hoping for success... but... all that happened was the blue scaly monster again emerged from the hat, but in reverse! The little toads all thought this was what Nibbles had intended to happen, so to a toad, they thought he was very clever, and clapped and cheered most loudly!

Episode 14: Not one to give up easily, Nibbles decided to have a third and final attempt to conjure a rabbit from his hat! And technically his trick might be considered a success, because Nibbles is, after all, a rabbit! But what is the the blue scaly monster doing on the stage? And did the blue scaly monster really just EAT Nibbles' magician's wand?

Episode 19: Nibbles' eyes almost popped right out of his head when his would-be-paramour presented him with the toadish equivalent of a bunch of flowers. Nibbles was in a quandary! How to reject the gift without offending the giver?

Episode 20: Nibbles realised he should have spoken up sooner, when the little toad mistook Nibbles' silence for lovesickness, and hopped right up onto his head, intending to travel to the ends of the Swamp with him!
Fortunately for Nibbles, the little toad had a short attention span, and soon transferred her affection and her gifts to the next toad they encountered along the way!

Episode 21: After a long and arduous trek through the Swamp, the team finally emerges into a clearing, where they spot a tornado rising out of the murky water. "I told you so!" Shouts their little toad escort, hopping up and down, as she points to the tornado and the funny little cottage that appears to have risen out of the swamp.

Episode 22: Thinking they have nothing to lose, the team enters the little cottage, knowing not what they might discover inside. But our stoic little adventurers are instantly overcome by the fetid smell emitted by the Swamp Maid, and Nibbles is afraid to gaze upon the decayed form of this wicked witch! As the team huddles together in fright, Scritch whispers quietly into one of Nibbles' beautiful big ears...

Episode 23: What Scritch knew instinctively, and whispered to her fellow travellers was... that just as good always overcomes evil, white magic by its very nature is stronger than black magic, so the wicked Swamp Maid could easily be overcome, provided they all work together as a team. With that in mind, Nibbles handed out magic wands, and the team banded together to magic the Swamp Maid away...

Episode 24: Attracted by the white magic particles filtering through the air, the tornado bursts into the cottage, with such forward momentum that it sucks up everything in its path, including the entire team and the cottage itself, and just keeps on going... and going... and going...

shadow is questing!
Episode 25: When the magic particles dissipate, and the tornado winds down, the team look around themselves in wondrous surprise. The momentum of that mighty tornado has clearly carried them all the way home to PnF Land! The team invites shadow to join them for a celebratory feast, before returning to shadow's My Pets Page, to change over visitors before the next Episode begins...
