The Cave

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 4610

Andrea reluctantly joins the others in the cave. She would prefer to keep running down the mountain pass and head for the beach below, but she remembered what her grandmother always told her: strength is in company, especially on prom night.

There they were: Lady Andrea, a lass of the Court and daughter of a minor noble; the soldier - Andrea thinks his name is Jansen; the three remaining sailors of the ill-fated and now sunken Lady Dereth; and Professor Xander L'Sal, a professor of the arts.

Andrea's reverie was short-lived as a cruel-sounding voice entered the cave from just outside. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"


Unbeknownst to the six within the cave, there were actualy only three pirates outside! They were experts at making a lot of noise and real good at shooting multiple arrows, so most normal folk took the three for a mob.

"Hey, Rongo," whispered Terrence. "What if they don't come out?"

"Then we'll go in and kill them all!" muttered Geneveve in glee.

"Shut up!" growled Rongo. "I didn't tell you you could talk and if Rongo doesn't say then Geneneve doesn't do! I am the leader you are the second-in-command. "If they don't come out--"

"Can we burn them?" interrupted Terrence. "Huh? Huh? Pretty please, can we burn them out???? Fire, so pretty, come on, why wait... let's burn them now!!!"

"Slash them!" growled Geneveve.

"Oh," complained Rongo. "So many choices.... fire or blood... or maybe... yes, heheheeeeheheeee! I've got it! Pies!"

Both Terrence and Geneveve stop babbling and stare. "Huh?"

"Yes, oh it will be fabulous! Merengue pies.... right in the kisser! Heeeheeeheee!" He turned to Geneveve (a cross-dresser if there ever was one), "You, start baking now." He turned to Terrence (the accountant and sometimes-arsonist), "You, build me an oven and start me a fire!" And then Rongo (an insane lunatic who just happened to find a ship with a pirate flag one day) began to dance in the dirt outside of the cave!


~~Oooooooh!~~ thought Andrea as she edged closer to the cave entrance and saw the strange pirate doing a jig. ~~dirty dancing!~~

  1. Soon the smell of merengue pie is wafting into the cave...
  2. Suddenly there is a scraping sound from within the cave - "I'm not doing it" said all six good guys - what can it be?
