Synopsis
Bombinomicon begins with the RED Soldier dressed badly as a robot and trick-or-treating with three children dressed as the Ghost of Zepheniah Mann, Francis the Talking France, and Saxton Hale at the RED base. Though the Spy initially rejects the offer to give the children treats, he eventually acquiesces and gives a child his pack of cigarettes, an unlit cigarette, and his Knife. The Scout shows the child dressed as Francis a molar concealed within his trusty bat and gives it to the child. The Heavy intimidates the child dressed as Saxton Hale on why he should give a child candy until the boy breaks into tears. The Heavy frantically apologizes, and gives the child seven thousand dollars. When the children go to the RED Demoman, he offers them a ghost story instead, and relates his tale.
On Template:W, when the Demoman was seven years old and had two eyes, his mother encouraged him to go work for ghastly creatures and necromancers because they would only be there for one day. The resourceful child found a forbidding castle of necromancy that needed a worker. Merasmus the Magician answers the door and is irritated with children asking for candy. The Demoman quickly explains that he is looking for a job, and Merasmus tells him to sweep a massive library for a nickel. However, he warns the child not to look at a particular book, the eponymous Bombinomicon. With the warning, Merasmus leaves and the Demoman begins his work. After sweeping the entire library, the Demoman takes a step back to admire his work, and the tome calls him. The Bombinomicon persuades the Demoman to read it, asking him why should he obey an old idiot with a dress. Suddenly as the Demoman peeps in, a blast of blue light targets his left eye and the Bombinomicon haunts it. It begins to joyfully cheer about the advantages of being an eye, and the enraged Merasmus suddenly appears. The magician casts a spell and with a cry, removes the Demoman's eye. When the child wakes up, Merasmus had left, along with the book and the castle.
In present day, the Soldier recognizes the name Merasmus and complains about his lack of dish-washing. The magician appears at the Halloween party and the two begin arguing. Apparently the duo are roommates, and the Demoman is shocked. Merasmus complains about the vegetarian platter and after a huge argument, the Soldier snaps the necromancer's staff over his knee. In revenge, Merasmus conjures up Monoculus, the Demoman's missing eye, and declares he will return to his apartment as the RED team fights the gigantic demon. However, the Soldier jumps upon Merasmus and begins strangling him as the Heavy and Scout begin fighting the monster.
