...Herbert decides to impersonate him rather than face punishment. This poorly thought out decision gets him the assignment to infiltrate the ranks of the "Hooded Ones," a band of tentacled, soul-eating monsters bent on taking over the castle and getting out of their self-described "tacky" and "gloomy" subterranean den. Luckily for Herbert, Marvin, the Keeper's right hand man, a ferocious, winged warrior with the head of a crocodile, accompanies him.

The death toll from a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest might be in the hundreds but not in the tens of thousands...
