Once, I had the vision of a massive crossover. it would combine many canons and many characters: LotR, Discworld, Gargoyles, Weekenders, an obscure MTV series called UnderGRADS among others.

It collapsed on top of me and broke 80% of my bones.

I got better.

But I come to donate a plausible Idea from the Discworld portion of the story. I had envisioned a grand host of some tens of thousands genetically modified, extra-dimensional Quarrymen berserks storming Ankh's Least Gate.

They would have had 2 objectives:

-attack the Unseen university and destroy it in revenge (for an affront I never got around to finish writing)
-slaughter everything in their path

Of course, in the defense of the city, I imagined several ingenious devices courtesy of Leonard of Quirm. The most useful of these is what I gift to the ages: morph-able armor for your classic bimorphic werewolf. In theory, it would take advantage of an intricate system of folding and shifting lamellar, sliding attachment points for ringmail and extensive use of either mithril, titanium or some disc-native equivalent.

To be absolutely honest, I think ol' Lenny had it better planned out than I did. But if anyone wants to use it, it's here.
