Lord Jarritos Arrives: House of the Beast 0
LORD JARRITOS DE TAMARINDO has had perhaps the most strange and adventuresome entrance of all of the Knights of Pantaloonia…
- Invited to dinner
- Host leaps out a window
- Explore the vacated Castle
- Find a creepy labyrinth in the basement
- Hear the BLUE BASHERS welcomed into the Castle by the sketchy buckler
- Accosted by a TALKING SKELETON who begs you to follow him into the darkness before bad things happen…
After securing PISTOLS and a CANNON from the suspicious labyrinth below the CASTLE, LORD JARRITOS follows the mysteriously friendly TALKING SKELETON up a winding set of stairs.
With an agonizing creak, an ancient set of doors springs open –
And LORD JARRITOS and company stumble out into the sunlight.
Their exit appears to be camouflaged as some kind of ancient pagan TOMB.
Beside their exit stands a crumbling limestone wall, topped by an OBELISK. Strange eye-like sigils are carved up and down its surface.
In front of them, a great PYRAMID rises out of the jungle ground.
Beyond the pyramid, a MASSIVE STONE KEEP juts into the sky – LORD JARRITOS recognizes it as the Castle where he recently had his mysterious dinner with STEPHANUS STEPHANOV. How many days have passed since then?
To the right, a grassy alley leads to another complex of RUINS.
Atop an ancient pagan PILLAR, stands a STYLITE holy fool. The stylite faces the other direction, shouting at something moving in the ruins below him…
"CLIP CLOP! CLIP CLOP! FAST FROM EVERYTHING BUT BROTHERS' BLOOD!"
…Holy fools have never been particularly easy to interpret. But wait – something moves in the ruins on the other side of the stylite's pillar. MEN AND HORSES!
At the foot of the stylite's pillar, the grassy alley splits into two paths:
LEFT goes around the PYRAMID and heads towards the KEEP.
RIGHT heads around the back of the RUINS.
What will LORD JARRITOS and his CANNON CREW do?
1. Climb the PYRAMID for a better view.
2. Investigate the OBELISK.
3. Take the grassy path LEFT towards the KEEP.
4. Take the grassy path RIGHT and skirt behind the RUINS to try to see who the stylite is shouting at.
5. Blast the TOMB with your CANNON, so that nothing from the labyrinth you just escaped can follow you out. (This will surely draw the attention of anyone nearby.)
6. Ask the stylite who he's talking to. (This will surely draw the attention of whoever he's shouting at.)
