Road Trip?

"Ah, shut it!" grumbled another boy, some four years older than the first. He reached out and Sir Lots thought he was going to give the youngster a reassuring hug. Instead he popped him one on the shoulder and grabbed the lone apple from the roadway and began to eat it.

"That's no way to treat your illigitimate half-brother!" roared the voice of an older man who had just appeared as if from nowhere. The man reached out and Sir Lots thought he was going to give the littlest youngster a reassuring hug, but instead he boxed the older boy in the ears -"OW!!!"- and grabbed the burnt wheel lying in the roadway.

Just then a constable came by and began shooing away this little family. "Shoo!" he said. "Shoo! We don' want none ah your kind here! Shoo, begone!"

"Ah, Uncle Marley," cried the mid-sized boy. "I'm tired. Can't you just turn him into a toad?"

"I didn't hear that!" said the older man, holding his hands to his ears. "Charlie, we are a respectable family, and I won't resort to cheap tricks."

"Bugger off!" yelled the constable.

So they stood and began walking down the road out of Gotham. Sir Lots, meanwhile had been walking the other way looking for some bland companions.

1. Will Sir Lots find the kind of people he seeks, or will he discover only interesting folk in this strange town at the foot of the Shreken? What will happen to Charlie, his little brother and Uncle Marley? And when will the next dragon attack happen?
