"You find yourself trapped between a towering rock giant, and the frozen lake of Stumpleberry. What do you do?"
The boy thought for a moment. "I roll my dice," he answered, taking the two multi-sided dice. Rolling them on the battleground (their kitchen table), he received a seven and a four.
The Wizard smirked. "Well, looks like you cast a firespell, which Rock Giants are immune to. Looks like your wizard is-!"
"Ah, but wait dear brother, who says I cast it at the giant?" The elder's eyes widened in surprise. "I cast fire on the lake, melting all the ice and giving me an escape route!"
"But how long can you stay underwater?" Another roll of the dice. "A full twenty minutes, thanks to the spell Amphibius Aidicus," replied the young adventure, "Which is more than enough time to swim down the river, through the underwater gates and into the lower floor of your castle!"
He was actually slightly impressed. "Well, it looks like you do show a good amount of skills at this game. But, you're in the lion's den now, and in the depths of my castle, you find yourself face to face with a giant-!"
"Albert, Irving." The two brothers looked up. "I promised the PTA I would make the snacks this week," their mother said, "So I need the table."
"Aww, but Mooom!" Albert groaned, "I was just about to crush Irving!"
"No you weren't!" Irving argued.
"Boys, you can have the table back in a couple hours, okay?" their mother offered. The two reluctantly agreed and started putting away the game.
Even though he still believed the Space Adventure movies were a thousand times better than any of the Stumpleberry Finkbat movies (and no adventure roleplaying board game would ever change that), he enjoyed playing the game with his brother. And as for Albert, Irving was more of a challenge than he thought, which made being forced to play with him while Phineas and Ferb were on vacation, not quite as be thought it would be.
"Shall we continue our battle in two hours time, Dark Wizard Albertus?" Irving asked as he put the pieces of the game back in the box. There was a hint of challenge in his voice, and a bit of cockiness.
"We shall," Albert replied. The two brothers glared at each other, yet still had a smile on their faces. They were both thinking the same thing.
"Bring. It. On."
