h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A cockerel is not the creature the basilisk fears.

The basilisk was not laying eggs. The juvenile basilisk was to be killed (how?) and rendered down into something that can be incorporated into the recipe for a certain type of gold vis a vis alchemical understanding of "gold"

the basilisk ashes would be added to molten gold???

Solomon's Gold?


Geggs

Bingo!

Basilisk ashes!

Recap:
What would you hope would be the result of a introducing a toad, and a baguette to a live chicken and then conducting a union with a ginger midget and a monk called "Roger" on a vineyard in Belgium?
We apparently have an Alchemist Monk using basalisk ashes to crate a type of gold.
I have no idea why a ginger midget or a vineyard in Belgium are involved.

What could you take from each?

I could take spice from the midget and Benedictine wine from the vineyard.

spice??

Wine?

I should have known that was a trap
I gave obvious answers- Spice is not obvious?

What , grab him by the ankles, spin him upside-down then give him a shake and see what falls out of his pockets?

Here is a thought- raisons fall out of his pocket.

Don't mind me- I've been smoking too much grapevine.

Ginger wine?

Ah clever. No. And shagbark already got walloped for "wine", no I'm thinking of something more intimate.

So, is Roger cheating on his monkly vow of chastity?

perhaps he is making golden chastity belts.

I remember Clive saying that the ginger midget sppecifically had to be male. So is the item that is required from his person something that a female would not possess?


Geggs

Good question.

Um no. I don't think it should matter but the recipe specified male.
