As you read the scroll, it disappears.

There is a message on this scroll. The message is from "Joson"

It reads: "No Dudley. You are the gnomes."

Well I'm clearly missing the reference here, but I do believe in this case ignorance is bliss.
#2	Anonymous	Sun, 4 Sep 2011 16:00:15
I found the reference! http://www.peterchimaera.com/doom.html ...that's kinda dumb.

#2: Now that I've seen the reference, I wish there was a voting option below Poor. Please tell me those typos and grammatical errors are not yours.

The typos and grammatical errors seem to be intentional on that page. Not that this would change any votes...

Sorceror: Indeed, the errors were not mine. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doom-repercussions-of-evil-you-are-the-demons

Peter Chimaera is an intentional badfic author.

This one made me giggle, due to knowing the reference.

He got brainwashed.

"The dwarf is killed!" But there aren't any dwarwes! It was a GNOME who got killed, not a dwafr!

"And then John was a zombie." All the dramatic readings I've seen of Repercussions of Evil way overemphasize that last line - "and then John... was a ZOMBIE!" - making it into a dramatic culmination. I feel like the simple, wordless @ -> Z here is much more in keeping with the deadpan anticlimax of the original.
