Lord Fred slays Belboz

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6344

Fred does not even bother with his sword. He grabs the old man's head and twists. Neck bones snap like kindling.

Belboz thumps to the ground. "That'll teach you to create horrible evil." said Lord Fred. He kicked the body once and set off down the passageway. He passed a few booby trapped chests, two jail cells and a pit leading down into darkness.

The tunnel curved and tilted but something was odd about it. The floor was a little -too- smooth. A little -too- clean.

The passageway made a few sharp angles. Fred stopped. Ahead, stacked next to the tunnel wall, were four cages. One on top of another. The top one held a small dog. He was mangy and dirty and sleeping. The row of cages continued on for a few feet, then was blocked by the angle of the wall.

There was a note on the dog's cage. Fred tiptoed up, reached over and ripped it off. He backed up, not even looking into the cage room and read the note.

"Subject: Farmboy.
Name: Velus Overrecter.
Age: Ninteen.
Current Form: Canine.
Status: Healthy.
To Be Disposed Of: After three days of observation."

So this is where the captured people were!

Fred took a peek into the cage room. It was roughly a hundred feet square. Two full walls were lined with cages. Only one in four had an animal in it. Skunk, cat, more dogs...A few spotted him but kept their mouths shut, lending further credibillity to the idea there were people inside.

The middle of the floor had a few benches and tables. A hole in the ground led to a place Fred decided not to look into. Kitty korner to Fred's entrance was another tunnel. Light flickered from it

  1. Take Velus with him, try and gain info.
  2. Promise the animals he would be back, continue on quest. But first, disable the animal's keepers.
  3. Nothing, as the dragon appears in the room, very angry that Fred had killed Belboz.
  4. The floor tilts, sending Fred straight for the hole in the ground.
