#STEEMLORDS - The Rescue of Squire StinknZombalot - Sir Scooterless to the rescue

Exhausted but well fed, Sir Scooterless and Rigormortis rest after their tremendous battle with the titan brothers. It has been 2 days since they slaughtered the titans and they had missed the crossing to Himling.

Their only option now was to…… Suddenly a voice came to Sir Scooterless. It infiltrated every part of his body:

The Ring

Sir Scooterless, Lord Percival, Lord Nenad and Squire StinkZombalot - you have avoided the Typhoon but have failed to make the Himling crossing.
Head South East now to the Gulf of Lune and into Mithlond - once there, seek direction to 'The Shire.'
Locate a Hobbit they call 'Bilbo Baggins.'
He has a ring!
Take possession of this ring and continue on to Mirkwood - try to avoid any 'Grey Wizards' or 'Elves' who might be loitering in the area.
Hence forth thou shall be known as 'The Ring Bearers'

It was time to leave this place. Checking over Rigormortis’ wound, Sir Scooterless made the call and prepared his Dragon for the journey across the sea towards the Gulf of Lune and Mithlond. There he was hoping to rendezvous with the other members of the Ring Bearers and move towards the Shire in search of Bilbo Baggins.

Filling a sack with as much brains as they could carry, Rigormortis rose into the air with Sir Scooterless on his back, and soared out across the ocean.

High into the air they soared and they flew for many hours until they noticed a boat on the horizon.

Intrigued, Sir Scooterless directed his great dragon in the direction of the boat. Circling high overhead, they surveyed the situation. Below them they could make out figures gathered around a crate on the deck of the boat.

But it could not be…. These creatures were mythical, not real. Sir Scooterless was looking at elves. Pointy eared creatures of mystery with an air of danger about them. They were circling around a create which grabbed Sir Scooterless’ attention and intrigued him. Being the brave soul he is, he decided to investigate and flew Rigormortis towards the vessel. Upon approach, he beckoned to the elves who were also intrigued by the presence of the Dragon and welcomed Sir Scooterless aboard for a great feast.

Cautious, but hungry. Sir Scooterless decided that this might present an opportunity he could not pass up, so he dismounted Rigormortis and landed on the deck. Commanding the dragon to head back high into the sky, he sat down for a great feast with the lady of the ship.

After much discussion with the elven group, it was time for the main meal of the evening. To Sir Scooterless’ amazement, the main course was a human. A pale disgusting looking human that smelt of rotting flesh. As the morsel neared, Sir Scooterless’ jaw hit the floor….. It was Squire StinknZombalot a fellow of the Ring Bearers.

What was Sir Scooterless to do? When the opportunity arose, he would grab the closest armament and escape. As the stinking culinary feast came closer, it was time. Tearing Squire StinknZombalot’s arm from his body, Sir Scooterless beat the closest elven warrior to a bloody pulp. Collecting the beaten elven’s sword, he flicked it to Squire StinknZombalot who was ‘armless. None the less, he grabbed the sword with his remaining good arm and fought to the death. Which was convenient as he was already dead.

Sir Scooterless let out a shrill, girly-like scream, and swooping to his and Squire StinknZombalot’s aid came Rigormortis. Torching the boat, the two heroes leapt for their life into the chilly waters. Sir Scooterless, still with arm in hand, drug Squire StinknZombalot away from the buring wreck and they floated, watching as the elven people burnt. Their screams of ‘I am melting’ reminded them of the Wizard of Oz…..

Rigormortis scooped the heroes from the water and they flew into the night sky in the direction of the Gulf of Lune.

Sir Scooterless strapped the arm back onto Squire StinknZombalot with a scrap of clothing and tended to his own wounds.

There appeared to be a bite mark on the back of his own arm. How had this gotten there? Just a battle wound he thought and the unlikely duo flew upon the back of the dragon, towards the horizon and land.

Stay tuned for the next instalment in the adventures of The Ring Bearers......
