[g-] Gandalf is in [1] front of the [-ang] chapel where a giant mountain goat wearing a 糸 silk 冂 hood is going around killing and eating the priests that are on the lawn. The priests come up to him begging him to help, but Gandalf says it goes against his 綱 guiding principles which is he cannot ever hurt any mountain goats. The priests ask what sort of stupid 綱 guiding principle is that as the mountain goat continues to eat them alive. It seems the mountain goats 綱 guiding principle is to eat as many priests as possible.
