|
|
The year is 1066. You are a Private, Seventh Class, in the Inquisition
|
|
Guard. After being relieved by Earl at the Port Foozle Inquisition Gift
|
|
Kiosk, you find yourself standing in the Headquarters of Frobozz
|
|
Electric. Gesticulating in front of you is the Pastor of Disaster, the
|
|
Minister of Sinister, the Grand Inquisitor. It appears he has a very
|
|
special mission for you.
|
|
|
|
"It is with great hope and expectation I send you on this mission," the
|
|
Grand Inquisitor intones, his voice booming like distant, rumbling
|
|
thunderheads. "We have discovered what appears to be a piece of the Great
|
|
Underground Empire, never before explored. I would have sent Grubald the
|
|
Bold, but he's busy. As is Matchlick the Mighty. So, 'tis you."
|
|
|
|
"What of Linklaw the Lucky?" you ask shyly.
|
|
|
|
"Laid up. I'm afraid 'tis you and none other. A simple, solo quest, one of
|
|
fun and mirth, mischief and merriment, a jaunt, an excursion, a simple
|
|
outing. Merely explore, enjoy yourself, and bring back news of what lies
|
|
there, long-ago buried for countless ages."
|
|
|
|
"And Fretsham the Fortunate?" you ask hopefully.
|
|
|
|
"A fatality!" the Inquisitor booms. "Here," he says with evaporating
|
|
patience, "take these and be of good cheer." He thrusts into your hands two
|
|
things: a brass lantern of dubious quality, and a plastic sword of no
|
|
antiquity or use whatsoever.
|
|
|
|
"But what of Kolchack the --"
|
|
|
|
"Enough! Kolchack is contracted. Remember, who is the boss of you!" He
|
|
pauses briefly as if awaiting a reply. Then without warning, he answers his
|
|
own question. "Me! I am the boss of you! Now begone!"
