Two minutes after Pitch Noon!
Two minutes after Pitch Noon!
Definitely not the voice of Barry Campbell:
One ominous faction in
The Troubles of Oatman Canyon
got whittled down
under the blackest noon
ever to blight this range.
At least one to go --
-- three, at most!
Outsider not-really-a-dragon Spiro
dives deeper into the thick fog.
He seeks retribution.
The gigantic Living Topiary plant-monster known as Topiary Rex
slapped Spiro more than a mile away from his chosen Sorcerer.
It hurt! It stung!
It was RUDE!
Spiro means to make his position on this matter scorchingly clear
but first: he has to find the lizard-shaped tentacular beast!
(That may prove difficult.)
The SNAFU Posse has no way to know that Topiary Rex was defeated and dismembered by the Hell Herd.
Master Transmogrifer Farvald Kerner,
creator of Topiary Rex,
knows that something
burned his construct severely
before the Hell Bovines got into halberd range.
He knows that the fault for his pet's demise is split
between the fire-breather and the possessed cattle
-- Outsiders all
and therefore proper targets for his nefarious works.
What more effective, more final work could he perform
than to establish his dominion over all of this space?
He has
the education,
the insight, the wisdom,
the moral imperative
to blot all Outsiders away from Whippetal Ranch!
Forever!
His path to success is currently fair:
He has converted an exorcised Hell Hand
and his Duo partner
into service.
He is fixin' to add two more
fully possessed Hands
to his collection --
they do not see the Briarseed Children gang which races toward them in the fog.
He knows where the Ominous weapons of the Greater Hell Bovine fiend Methurgh are
and he has an idea of how to use those
to catastrophically close Gate One.
He has a bona-fide Druid at his command.
If them interferin' yokels from the SNAFU Guild raise a ruckus?
At a word, EvilSeed can put Jesse Devonshire to feedin' the lot of them to the Crawlers of the Whistling Skull!
Speakin' of whom. . . .
The Human members of the SNAFU Posse
stand on the stone floor of Sarsparilla Barn, gazin' up into
the biggest danged "barn cat" either one ever heard tell!
Did the evil forces of the Hell Herd branch out into predators?
Next door to that barn,
butting one long stone wall against it,
is Sarsparilla Bunkhouse.
butting one long stone wall against it,
is Sarsparilla Bunkhouse.
Bright light pours out of every window, the open doorway, even the two chimneys.
Each aperture forms a dazzling bubble in the thick fog.
You think whatever is in there
might be another threat on the Posse's to-do list?
(The sounds of good cheer ring out from within!)
that they hear these glad sounds with only a bit of distortion.
From different directions, both Rangers are wadin' toward
the neon green glow of a Mysterious Book
between spills of window light.
Miro has a plan to fix up that arcane archive.
He might even make a profit for the Guild coffer!
