The sketch was actually done by the ever lovely and talented Paul Jaquays,=  whose affinity for ducks is well known.

The minotaur was a player character, actually, and died in combat against a=  fire elemental in the bowl of an active volcano, where Blackbeak's pirate=  band had hidden some treasure several years before. Best quote of the=  night (remember, we'd been sailing around the seas for quite awhile by=  now): "(munch munch munch)... hey, where'd we get the beef?"

Always choose the option that'll most likely blow up in your own face. You=  never know when a tribe of werebears is going to want to skin you alive,=  for instance. Those are the Munchausenesque moments you can brag about=  over beer for years.

Of course, sometimes you get bitten by vampires infected with bubonic=  plague, but on the whole, you have a great time.
