Led by The Phantom of the Opera and Faramir, they managed to kill thousands of ethically dubious invaders, mainly in slow motion, all while keeping their imacculately coiffured hair intact. Historical commentators Luke Watson and Tim Leary however, have disputed the veracity of the accounts provided, saying that in decapitations, "there should be a lot more blood". After surviving many horrors, including the evil of Xerxes's tent of depravity, they were finally betrayed by Ephialtes, a Spartan exile with a name that means "Guy who looks a lot like an orange version of Gollum with a big tumour on his back and funny teeth".
