| "Well, I do," says
Rocky. He pulls out the arrow in the dragon.
The dragon instantly rouses. The huge eyes glare at you. "" he says. "What are you doing?" you demand of Rocky. "Watch," he says. He takes out a pouch and pours the contents into his palm. "This is sneezing powder -- " "It looks like pepper." "Well, yeah, that's the technical term." Rocky throws the pepper at the dragon. "Let's get out of here!" The two of you race for the exit. Behind you, in comes the Green Knight, lion, and Turing the Tester, wizard extraordinaire. "" the dragon goes. The Green Knight, lion, and Turing the Tester scream. "Uh sorry," says the dragon. "Kind of torched you there, didn't I, boss?" "Boss?" you ask. "Is everyone working for the Green Knight?" "Almost," Rocky replies. "He's evil, but he's got good medical." "Somebody was telling me about medical plans recently," you say. "The knight you met at the Tavern of the Scottish Clown," Rocky replies. "It was really the Green Knight in disguise. I stopped him with a booby-trapped rock slide, because he was planning to ambush you. He gave you his cloak so he could track you with GPS." "GPS?" "Granulated Pigeon Seed. The cloak lining was filled with the stuff, which attracts pigeons as it leaks through the holes I made in the lining. He was going to follow the flight of pigeons, and in that way locate you." "Oh. But I lost the cloak." "Exactly. So he lost track of you until you came to this castle, which he knew you were coming to. I raced ahead to stop him, but he captured me." "I'm so glad this plot makes perfect sense now, it's so obvious. And I'm sure the identity of the Green Knight is obvious as well." |
