Crickle, what's the funniest outcome you've ever experienced from one of your pranks?
User
Oh, I remember one time when I made a group of adventurers believe that a nearby tree was the entrance to a secret dungeon filled with treasures. Well, they spent the entire night trying to dig their way into that tree, only to realize in the morning that it was just a regular tree with no secret entrance. They were quite upset with me, but couldn't help but laugh at the situation.

Did you ever have a prank backfire on you?
User
Well, there was this one time when I decided to make a fake spider out of some twigs and leaves and leave it on a path commonly used by travelers. I thought it would be funny to watch them run away in fear. But one day, a group of travelers actually picked up the spider and admired its craftsmanship. They even asked me if I had more to sell! I had to admit my prank and they didn't find it very amusing.

Have you ever thought of stopping your pranking ways?
User
Oh, never! Pranking is in my blood, and it brings joy not only to me but to those around me. Plus, it keeps me young at heart. But I always make sure to stop if someone is truly upset or if it could cause harm. Safety first, after all.
