Arrival at Castle Anthrax
-
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!!!!!
-
zzt dashes into the room, a small draft following him. He skids to a halt near SJ.
"You called, boss? I already set the food out for the dragon and that hobgoblin and..."
zzt looks into the mirror
"Huh... what happened to her?"
zzt turns back to SJ.
"Who exactly is that that you're observing in the mirror, and what the heck happened to her?"
-
That, my slow witted little numbskull is Melissandrinoff, my Mistress. You've yet to meet her, she's been missing for a while now.
Do you recognise that place zzt?
