People With Way Too Much Time On Their Hands

... a long, high-ceilinged room filled with oddly-attired people. All are wearing gray-brown robes emblazoned with the silhouette of a standing hippo. A few are wearing headpieces with artificial hippo ears attached, and one is wearing a hippo-head mask, complete with gaping mouth.

Upon seeing you, the group lets out a gasp of awe. Then the man in the hippo mask points at you and announces in a loud voice, "He has returned! The Rotund One has returned to us, just as our ancestors prophesied!" Everyone in the room immediately falls prostrate before you with cries of "Hail, O Mighty River Horse!" and "Praise the Blessed Behemoth!"

As your "followers" grovel before you, you examine the room more closely. Images of hippos are everywhere: paintings, statues, even tapestries. At the far end of the room is a small circular pool of water, the purpose of which you can only guess at.

"Speak to us, Great One!" the masked man says. "Your humble servants await!"
