Arrival at Castle Anthrax
-
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?
-
A little girl appears at the door of the castle
"Hellou! Anyone there?"
-
Ah, my dear Semtex Jack, I am so sorry, but...I have been into your special room! And found it so fascinating I had to stay for a few days! Indeed, I had to drag myself away...you shouldn't have told me not to go in, that caused it to seem so irresistible to me that I just had to...oh, the things I now know about you! But don't worry, I won't tell any of our minions...
Speaking of which, what on earth do you mean by getting drunk with Skarkill??!! I knew this would happen, one brief declaration of adoration, and then you're off getting p***ed with your mates - I'm warning you that if I am to become your betrothed, I expect better behaviour - and why you'd want to spend any more time than is strictly necessary with Skarkill is entirely beyond me, but anyway...don't let it happen again! Now we've got our first lovers quarrel out of the way, how do you fancy joining me in the disco room?
-
Nice to see you too Skarkill and for reasons of sanity, perhap you'd like to use my shortened name of Melis
-
zzt blinks several times.
"Wait, wait, wait... what the heck just happened? First it's implied to me that this Mistress Melissandrinoff is in a life-threatening situation... and then she suddenly appears right here?"
zzt scratches his head.
"Hmm... Well, at least the situation got resolved, so I suppose that's one less giant spider we have to face."
-
Hmmmm. Ah, my love. You've returned.
I......apologise for being drunk but Skarkill was the only one around the castle at the time.
Now we have zzt and Motley taking an active interest again I have no need to spend ALL my time with Skarkill.
Right, now as for this vision I have seen....if it is not you my love then who is it? Could it perhaps have been a trap to lure me into the parlour of the Spider?
Hmmmm. We must all be careful, someone seems to be trying to take me out!

(Oh my god. Our own board. We are indeed honored. As Lord of this realm, I suppose I should post on it first)
