QUEST FOR GLORY: TORO’S ADVENTURE, PART 2

When we last left Toro, he was summoned by a coalition* of cheetahs to help them fend off a One-Eyed Snake Monster. Toro’s arrival was foretold by… The Sword of Truth.

The head cheetah spoke SECRETLY: “You must go to the Cave of CHEETAHS and consult with the Sword of Truth. It will tell you what you need to know to defeat the Snake Monster.”

Toro followed the cheetah’s directions and arrived at a BLURRY cave. “Why magic things always in cave?” Toro asked STEALTHILY. Deep within the cave found the sword.

“Big Guy! Right on time,” said the sword.

Toro picked up the SWEATY sword. “Hello. Toro like magic sword.”

“Right. Not the brightest star in the sky. Hey Big Guy. They’re called pronouns. Use 'em.”

Toro JUMPED in disgust. This was easily the TWENTY-SEVENTH most UNCLEAR talking weapon he had met. “Toro not like sword,” he said as he made ready to throw the sword away.

“Wait! Wait! Wait! You have a monster to slay, right? Well, there is someone you need to meet first. She isn’t too far from here.”

“Are we going to another cave?”

“….Yes.”

Toro once again traveled to a CLEAR cave, this one called the Cave of CHEATERS. (Why were cave names so TOWERING?) Inside was an older female minotaur.

“Mom?”

TO BE CONCLUDED…

* - I looked it up. A group of cheetahs is called a coalition.

Toro has a mother? Well, I'm sure he does. (He didn't just spring out of the earth, fully formed). We just never met her. Now I'm intrigued.

I think it's my turn next, but I have an urgent all-day appointment to rush to. I'll post my Madlib later.

I love that the Cheetahs remain a part of this ongoing story!

It's mentioned in QFG1 that Elsa found him as a "calf". Where is this story going? I honestly have no idea. I just sort of threw that in there.

Well, you were the one who put them there in the first place!

Yes, sorry - I meant in how it flowed.

The head cheetah spoke SECRETLY: “You must go to the Cave of CHEETAHS and consult with the Sword of Truth. It will tell you what you need to know to defeat the Snake Monster.”

The fact that the head cheetah (which was not a part of this round) told Toro to go to the Cave of Cheetahs to consult the sword.

I like that it flowed.

The "Cave of Cheetahs" cracks me up. Sounds delightful (and a little corny), like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon from the 80s.

Here's mine ...

SPACE QUEST XIII: THE OL' MOP AND FBUCKET (naughty Roger! -Ed.)

One day, Roger was mopping the floors as usual, when he discovered that the water in his bucket was dirty.

At the same time, Commander Kielbasa was putting the ship through the ultra-mega-super-hyperdrive. So the spaceship ended up in ... *TA-DA!* Planet SHKPR-10458, where everyone spoke like a Shakespeare character! (What a bizarre plot device!)

As the ship landed, there came the sound of a tucket (a flourish on a trumpet -Ed.) without. But Roger's shirt came out of his trousers, so he tucked it within.

Roger pressed the button to [VERB] the door, and lo! There at the door [PAST TENSE VERB] a messenger.

"[OLD-TYME GREETING]!" He cried. "I bring a message from Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth of England! Her Majesty biddeth thee greetings, O angels from the heavens, and wisheth to invite thee to visit her and discuss business opportunities." He bowed and gave Roger a scroll.

Roger bowed in return. "[MODERN GREETING]. I will take your message to my captain. Why do you call us angels?"

The messenger looked confused. "Thou camest from out of the skies, from the heavens, so thou must be angels. Be that not so?"

What should I say? Roger thought. "Um, yes indeed! We bring you greetings from the gods--"

"Surely thou meanest God?"

"Yeah, that's right!" Roger said [ADVERB].

"Why dost thou carry a mop, O Angel?" The messenger said.

"Um, 'cos cleanliness is next to godliness?"

"I see. God save 'ee, O Angel, and may flights of cornets sing thee to thy rest--"

"Yes, fine," Roger [PAST TENSE VERB] hurriedly. He's clearly mad, but he has the backing of this Queen thing behind him. "Only, you see, I'm not a very superior kind of angel, so I must take your message to my capt-- er, chief-- er, arch-angel, Kielbasa. [MODERN-TYPE GOODBYE]!" He shut the [ADJECTIVE].

Well! There's a turn-up for the data-cubes, or scrolls, or whatever. We're back in Shakespeare's time! Maybe we'll even meet him? I wonder.

Then the PA came to life, and Kielbasa's voice [PAST TENSE VERB]: "[LOW-RANK SPACE RANK] Wilco. [LOW-RANK SPACE RANK] Roger Wilco. Report to the bridge [ADVERB]."

Roger hurried to the bridge. "Commander Kielbasa!" he burbled. "You'll never believe this! We're back in Queen Elizabeth's time, and a messenger from the Queen just gave me this scroll!" He tried to hand it over.

"What is this foolishness?" Kielbasa's tone was cold. "You bumbling [ONE-WORD INSULT], Wilco! I called you in here because you didn't [VERB] my toilet! Now get to it, sharpish!"

"Will do, Commander. But about this message--"

"I will deal with it, Wilco. Dismissed." Commander Kielbasa picked up an [ADJECTIVE], breathed into it, and barked: "Attention all hands! We must disguise ourselves as Elizabethans, so we need doublets -- I repeat, doublets!"

"And singlets!" Roger added.

"Shut up, Wilco!" Kielbasa [PAST TENSE VERB]. "Go on and clean my toilet! As for the rest of you - get some doublet, hose, large ruffs, hats with feathers, and [MEDIEVAL WEAPON]s. Yes, [MEDIEVAL WEAPON]s. We're going to do some reconnaissance."
