Arrival at Castle Anthrax
-
Skarkill notices Grippa and Rhark sneaking up behind zzt, so he walks towards him backing him right in to there clutches. The two Goblins grab zzt by the wrists causing him to drop the axe. Skarkill looms in zzt's face
"Now then. You have the guts to thretern me with my own Axe dose yer? Well lets see if you have the guts for this."
Skarkill tumps zzt in the stomace.
-
FrightKnight emerges from his shed next door to travel to castle Anthrax and half a mile away from Castle Duckula)
FrightKnight shouts at window, which may or may not have Skarkill there
Hello all! Come to borrow a cup of sugar, hope you don't mind. Was going to see Igor at the other place but with that vegetarian over there sugar is not usually something they have.
Woah, Lord Fear! Is this the one, the only Lord Fear? In person? Haven't seen you in ages. The reason I haven't been around for the past while is, well....I fell off a causeway, alright? I was intoxicated, I stod on an odd number that looked like a 4, and whoosh! Down I went.
So how's by you?
-
zzt grunts and coughs as he gets hit in the stomach.
"Urgh! Okay, I suppose you get a point there... looks like we're even now, eh?"
zzt grins, and is promptly decked in the gut again.
"Guh! Okay, okay, I suppose I'm not in any position to try and be funny..."
zzt shakes his head a bit.
"Erk... Well, I might as well see whoever's in charge here, so... would you mind taking me to your boss?"
-
Now Now Now Hang on a minute there Bubba.
This is my castle. MY CASTLE! You don't come visiting Lord Fear here.
As for the sugar. Gripps, there's some in the kitchen. Let that poor thing go and get some for our new guest.
Skarkill, Let zzt go, give him a 10 second head start and then send Rhark after him. Should keep him busy.
Nibbler you useless overgrown lizard. Wake up and get back to the basement.
I think I'm developing another headache. I need a nice Radox bath.
-
Skarkill smiles, and punches zzt in the stomac again this time following it up with an upper cut to the jaw.
"Right this way mate."
Skarkill grabs zzt by the coller and drags him into the bisco room.
"Here you is your Lordship. I caught or un invited visitor."
hurls zzt on to the floor in frount of the dancing Semtex Jack.
-
Staying Alive....Stayi......Ah Skarkill. I was just....errrr.....you saw nothing okay?
Now, out new guest. You saw how fast he could run. Do you think he would be a useful addition to our little group?
-
Don't worrky about that zzt. We only use the silver for invited guests or some merit.
You may however get your butt handed to you on a wooden plate.
-
Well, you have a choice really. You can either join me here in Castle Anthrax and help me to overthrow Lord Fear and take control of this entire Dungeon.....
..
..
...
...or...
I can hand you over to Skarkill now and he will be allowed to do to you whatever his filthy little mind comes up with!
So.....any questions?
-
Excellent. I knew you could be persuaded. Sorry Skarkill, you don't get to play with this one tonight.
So, Please zzt. Sit. Help yourself to the Brandy. Now, what exactly do you think you'll be able to bring to my campaign of terror?
-
"Well, as you may have already seen, I can run quite fast... "
to demonstrate, ZZT circles the room 15 times in a matter of 5 seconds. He continues speaking while he is runnng.
"And, I can do, this!"
zzt runs towards a wall. When he reaches the wall, instead of turning or slamming into it, he manages to run UP the wall, somehow defying the law of gravity. To continue his gravity-defying feat, he manages to run all the way up to the ceiling... and then he starts running on the ceiling all the way across to the opposite wall, which he starts running down as soon as he reaches it. But instead of running to the ground, he springs off the wall and somersaults to the ground, landing on his feet.
"And all that without the use of magic. Wall-running 's a bit more difficult to do when I'm burdened, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
zzt pauses.
"If you wish to give me a weapon, make it a two-handed hammer... it's the weapon I'm most skilled with."
-
Hmmmm. I really can't think of a situation where that would be useful.
As for the weapon......Hmmm.....we don't have any hammer users on our team.
Okay, If you can answer me the following questions then you shall be accepted.
-
What.....is your name?
-
What.....is your favourite colour?
-
What.....is your favourite song?
-
Who.....was the first ever person to play James Bond?
-
What is the air speed velocity of an uladen swallow?
-
-
-
Very Well. I believe that is your name. Truth Accepted.
-
Not a great colour yet still....Truth Accepted.
-
You mentioned not any boybands....Excellent. Truth Accepted.
-
Falsehood. Bob Holness was first. He played Bond on Radio.
-
Errrrr. I don't know that....ARghhhhhhhh.
You're knowledge of The Holy Grail is exemplary. Truth Accepted.
4 out of 5. Impressive. Welcome to the Team. Until I find you a more permanent residence you'll be in one of the Guest Rooms on the 3rd floor. Tis the same floor as Melisandrinoff and Myself's room.
Speaking of which. Melis, where r u? Havn't seen you for days. Oh god. Please don't say she's walked through The Door to Nowhere!
Skarky!!!???!!!!
-
-
Permission Granted.
Are you still here? I've been out counting crates of raw chicken for half an hour. Shame on you!!!!
Avoid Skarkill's room. It's the one with the screams coming from it. Also, the 2nd floor room at the top of the stairs, that is errrrrr.....my private room for special things.
I believe there is what remains of the other night's Dungeoneer in a corner in on of the Guest rooms. Be a good fella and feed Tiny and Nibbler for me. Cheers bud.
And so our group grows even further. zzt, Motley, Skarkill, Melisandrinoff and myself. A few more additions and we will be ready to challenge Lord Fear.
-
zzt heads out and up to one of the guest rooms. The first one he finds has quite a mess in one of the corners, presumably what used to be the dungeoneer that SJ was talking about.
"Wow, looks like that one went painfully."
zzt snickers, and looks around, finding a sack nearby.
"Hmm, I suppose I could carry the carcass in that thing."
zzt stuffs the dungeoneer's remains into the sack, and carries the whole thing down to the basement
-
Whilst he's off dealing with that I shall go and see what is happening in my Dungeon.
SJ strides off towards his tower passing zzt who was dragging a sack, SJ ignores him and moves purposefully off into his tower
Now then mirror, Let's see what is going on.
Jack gazes into the mirror. A vision of a beautiful (giggles) woman is being displayed. She looks to be in some pain and appears to be trapped somewhere...
Melisandrinoff!
She is caught in thick white, sticky strands. A look of sheer horror appears on her face
Skarkill, zzt, Motley.....Anyone. Get in here NOW!!!!!
