KING'S QUEST [XI]: QUEST FOR [PROLETERIAT]

King Graham woke up to see his [MOTHER-IN-LAW] walking down the hall. He raised his hand to get their attention and said, "[WELL, SHAVE MY FEET AND CALL ME A HOBBIT!]."

They turned to see King Graham and said, "I am surprised to see you here. I'd heard you were headed to the [GREEN] [MOTORCYCLE]."

Graham smiled, "I will be going there, after I [HURL] over to the [EXPELing] [VITRIOL] and pick up some [ACID] for Rosella. She'd been asking if I could pick some up."

"Well," they said, "I'd best let you go then."

"It was a pleasure speaking with you," Graham smiled. "This castle is too big. We should see one another more frequently."

Graham went down to the stables where he got his horse named [THURL RAVENSCROFT] the [YELLOW] Strider.

He pulled his cloak around him and adjusted his adventurer's cap and said, "Well, this should be interesting..."

And began riding when suddenly a [ORC] jumped out in front of him!

TO BE CONTINUED?

Well, either Rosella needs to burn something... or she's a drug addict...

In the US, we get to hear him every Christmas since he performs "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in the original Grinch Who Stole Christmas. He does have a very nice baritone.
Beg your pardon, but please take a listen to this:

Thurl Ravenscroft is clearly at least a baritone-bass, and a skilled one too. :) Just for fun, I tried singing those low notes and got as low as a B1 (i.e. a B, two octaves below middle-C). I'm very pleased with that - my range is extending! :D A couple of years ago, I could only reach as low as E2.

Anyway, I think it's my turn!

QUEST FOR [NOUN]: RETURN OF THE [NOUN]

One day, our hero [HERO'S NAME] was on a quest for a magic sword. But it was at the bottom of a river! So the beautiful fairy [NAME] gave him a breathe-under-the-water [NOUN].

[ADVERB], after he got out of the water, he was soaking wet! But [SAME NAME] gave him a [NOUN] to dry off with.

"[EXCLAMATION], O beautous one!" [HERO'S NAME] [VERB]ed before walking off.

He didn't get five steps before [NAME], a down-on-his-luck hedgehog, asked him to find a magic [NOUN]. Our hero picked one up off the ground and said, "Here's your magic [SAME NOUN]! Everything is magical if you know how to look at it!" and continued on his way.

The hedgehog waved the stick around, and behold! Stars and sparkles [VERB]ed in the air! "[EXCLAMATION!]" said the hedgehog. "I must be a very lucky hedgehog indeed!" And he went home for [HOT DRINK] and [SOMETHING TO EAT WITH A HOT DRINK].

THE END

For "Same Name" and "Hero's Name" - I am confused?
Is Same Name now Jean-Luc? And Hero's Name - Bob mentioned later?
If so - to prevent confusion - I'd say just insert it yourself. Like make a note in the spoiler thing, rather than making it look like another choice that can be filled out.
Same with Noun, then Same Noun.

Just to clarify:

1. [Same Name] is the same one as [Name] (i.e. Jean-Luc).
2. [Hero's Name] should be consistent throughout.
3. [NOUN] and [SAME NOUN] should be the same.

Hope that helps. :)

NBS, no worries about Mr. Ravenscroft. :) I've been performing music for 16 years now, and my range is similar to Thurl's (but not quite as large).

Yeah - probably easier next time to just make a note in the story while it's in SPOILERS and then paste them in, rather than making it look like there's more choices to fill out.

All right ... one second. I'll just fill these in and leave the rest. :)

QUEST FOR LEGO: RETURN OF THE SEWAGE

One day, our hero BOB THE BUILDER was on a quest for a magic sword. But it was at the bottom of a river! So the beautiful fairy JEAN-LUC PICARD gave him a breathe-under-the-water [NOUN].

[ADVERB], after he got out of the water, he was soaking wet! But JEAN-LUC PICARD gave him a [NOUN] to dry off with.

Uh. I think ye misunderstood.

What I meant was - you note it in the SPOILERS that when person selects [HEROS NAME] - you go in and fill in the HEROS NAME everywhere it's needed when it's done.
