Guy Fawkes erected a stone tablet to ward off evil spirits inside of the anthill, but as he was drinking at the bar he noticed how the stone tablet suddenly started moving all on its own and tried to cut off Guy's ear with a sickle. Consequently, Guy Fawkes takes a sledgehammer and destroys the stone tablet to be safe; he wouldn't dare to have another drink setting next to this weird tablet.
