Lots of Energy, For a Filthy Old Man

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1019

Suddenly, and without warning, the filthy old man sprang to his feet and starting banging on the doors with his fists. The door didn't even make a hint of budging, but it did create a terribly loud noise. This can't be good for our situation, thought Fred. The man continued beating on the door and then starting mumbling incoherrently.

Fred decided to try and stop him, before the old man attracted the unwanted attention of some of the guards. Fred grabbed onto his wrists and held them, to prevent him from banging on the door. In a quick movement, the old man broke free of Fred's grasp, and shoved him against the back wall of the cell. Fred was momentarily stunned, and decided against a second attemp.

Inevitably, two guards showed up. Fred sized them up in his mind... He could probably take one alone, but two at once would be too much. The old man continued his banging, despite the arrival of guards. Both guards looked none too pleased. "We've had enough of this out of you, old man," drolled one of the guards. The other unlocked the door and opened it. The other prepared to make a grab for the old man. As was the case with Lord Fred, the guard was totally unprepared for the old man's onslought. The guard toppled over with the force of the old man's blow. The other guard was completely stunned. The old man saw the opening, and bolted.

The guard on the ground stayed there, apparantly in some pain. The other cursed, and ran after the old man. This left Fred alone with the other guard. Fred knew he had a fighting chance, and took it. The guard regained his composure quickly when he noticed Fred was escaping as well. A battle ensues...

  1. Fred is able to subdue the guard.
  2. Fred is able to subdue the guard, but not without attracting additional attention.
  3. The guard is a little tougher than Fred thought...
