Bring Me a Shrubbery!

Deep within the gloomy region of Zangarmarsh a peaceful race of mushroom-men, called Sporeggars, live vibrantly. Native to Outland, these loving creatures dwell in mushroom huts in the southwestern edge of Zangermarsh.

It is that these creatures were derived
from the all knowing Les Schtoumpfs,
which in French means, "The Smurfs."



Starting out as Unfriendly, you can quickly gain exalted through a series of quests and turn-ins.
Once you are Friendly with this shroom-loving tribe, you will be given another quest, "Bring Me A Shrubbery!" You will then be given a repeatable quest called "Bring Me Another Shrubbery!"

Anyone who as seen Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail, should know the humor in the title of this quest.

In the movie, there are a band of knights that are feared by all for the manner in which they utter the word "ni." For "Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!"


The Knights Who Say Ni, are led by a man who is twelve feet tall, stubby arms, and tree branches protruding from his helmet. The other knights are of average human dimensions and act as a chorus, repeating words and phrases which the head Knight has spoken.

"Ni" is only the most notable of the feared words which the knights are assigned to protect, the others being "Peng" and "Ni-wom." All are infamous for the palpable horror and fear they bring about.

The Knights demand that King Arthur bring them a shrubbery in order to pass through the wooded area in which they guard. When he returns to the knights, who now call them selves The Knights of Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ptang, Zoo boing! he presents the shrubbery that he was demanded to bring forth. The Knights demand that he bring them another Shrubbery, arrange the shrubberies so that they get a two-level effect ("...with a little path running down the middle.") , and then proceed to "...cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring!"

This is by far my favorite Easter Egg in the game.

Ni ..... Peng ..... Ni-Wom
