Fred Decides To Dribble

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6139

Fred sighed as the door to the smithy closed shut behind him. He looked down the length of the street, but could see no other blacksmith advertising free dragonslayer swords. Fred scratched his head, trying to recall exactly why he had brought no gold with him, not even a single coin in his back pocket. Obviously currency was not the most mandatory of items needed when battling a fiery reptilian colossus, but still, not one coin?

Fred trudged down the street, stopping every so often to aim a kick at a large stone that he had successfully rolled down four furlongs already. He had been forced to rebound off the market walls several times, and had had to nutmeg a milkmaid at one point, but he was through on goal now with only the keeper to beat. Taking sure aim, he wound his leg back and struck the rock squarely with a superb toe poke. 'Top corner, surely!' he thought.

Regrettably, the only top corner the rock hit was the one in Fred's overactive imagination. What the rock actually hit was......

  1. A diseased harlot who was languishing in a nearby alleyway.
  2. A bald scholar carrying a pile of scrolls.
  3. The Captain of the Guard. In the groin.
  4. The dog that had been bothering Fred in the Southern Caves.
