The boat raced onwards, through tomorrow and next week
For Dave it was exciting, for his city the outlook was bleak
For he had forgotten, the poor town in turmoil
And at this very moment they might as well be burned in oil

But that part of the story, we'll get to down the road
For Dave was about to find out what he was never told
That Leprechauns are a limey bunch, they're tricksters at that
And this one was especially tricky, green with envy as his great green hat

Alas Dave knew not, what was about to happen
As the boat sailed downwards, towards a small cabin
It landed with a jolt, on a large grassy knoll
What Dave didn't know that this knoll belonged to a troll

And inside the cabin was a hole that lead to its lair
That limey bugger Seamus was about to shove him in there
He pranced and he danced and gave Dave a song and lie
And Dave had no idea he was about to wish he was back in the sky

MAIN CHARACTERS:
-- Dave - A curious young Molemullian who loves adventure.
-- Seamus O'Greary - A greedy Leprechaun who wants Dave's ring so he can give it to the Leprechaun King and be rewarded with riches.

OTHER CHARACTERS:
-- The Molemullians - Small, mole-like creatures who live in an underground city which is encased in glass in the middle of the Leprechaun city. Why? You tell me.
-- The Leprechauns - Greedy little bastards who live in a magic underground city and are planning a war with the Molemullians; a war which probably has something to do with the Leprechaun King's rings, one of which Dave's father somehow acquired.
-- Badgels - The ugly, vicious creatures with red beady eyes who kidnapped Dave from his Molemullian city. They are feared by Leprechauns and are somehow involved in the upcoming war between the Leprechauns and the Molemullians.
-- The Lady in Yellow - Plays mystifying harp music and honestly wants to help Dave save the Molemullians.
-- The Green Devil - Informed Dave of the war-to-come, and seemed to be interested in helping him, but only in exchange for Dave's key.
-- Balou - Small mouselike creature who lives in the Leprechaun city and seems to oppose this war they're plotting. He wanted to help Dave steal the ring from the Leprechaun vault, but then he suddenly ditched him, and we don't really know what he's up to now.
-- Gurgle - Blob creature who lives in the secret prison-room above the Leprechaun city. He sleeps all the time and would love to have a magic ring, because that would be cool.
-- Dave's Father - Deceased. Somehow acquired one of the Leprechaun King's rings.
-- A Troll - Lives in a cabin on a knoll.
-- A Huge Bird, a Shark/Eel/Mutant, and a Giant Squid all exist.

IMPORTANT OBJECTS:
-- Magic Rings - There are 6 of them, and they each have special powers. When they all combine, it's totally amazing. Dave has one of them, and one of them is in the Leprechaun vault. The rest are hitherto unaccounted for.
-- The King's Keys - Currently Dave has the Leprechaun King's precious keyring. It's usually kept very safe, yet somehow Balou stole it from the King, and he left it in the prison room for Dave to find. There are four keys; One of them goes to the broom closet in the prison room. One of them goes to the vault where the King keeps the only magic ring he has left. The other two... what do YOU think?
