Warrior Queen of Venus: Episode 12
Bride of Orongu-Khan​

Narrator: When last we saw our heroes, they were attempting to rescue Lady Jane Hamilton-Grey, Plucky Adventuress and British Agent, from the clutches of Queen Zamora, Ruler of Venus. Their daring rescue attempt foiled by the Queen's Amazon Guard, our heroes are now captives of Queen Zamora. The wicked Queen has decreed that Lady Jane be sacrificed to the Venusians' terrible god, the fearsome Orongu-Khan. Will our heroes escape in time? Or will Lady Jane become the Bride of Orongu-Khan? Stay tuned to find out...

Scene: The Venusian village, strange pod-houses built onto the side of wierd alien trees. Queen Zamora and her retinue watch from a platform high up in the trees. "Crash" Jones, Percy Ambleton-Smythe and Lady Jane are tied to tall posts in the centre of the village. Sy, Dr. Ecks, "Suicide" Bernard and Tork are locked in a wooden cage not far away.
They are placed before a huge wooden palisade, set with torches above a massive gate. Spear-wielding Venusian Amazons (tall athletic women with blue skin, four arms and fur bikinis) stand guard atop the walls, while feeble man-slaves pull on massive ropes to open the gates, to the sound of drums.

Queen Zamora: Soon, Earthling fools, you will be food for mighty Orongu Khan. This will be your reward for trying to thwart Queen Zamora. Do you have any last words?

Lady Jane Hamilton-Grey

Queen Zamora

 

[Andor]

Crash struggles against his ropes for a moment then gives up and addresses the Queen. "This is because of the dinner thing isn't it? I told you I was sorry. Who keeps Giant Octopi as pets anyway?"

 

[CaBaNa]

Abercrombie beams as he takes in the scene, HA HA, this is great fun Tork, the natives sure can beat a drum! If only I had my moving picture machine to capture all this excitement! Doctor, could you jimmy this latch open so I could go fetch my equipment?

 

[jkason]

Sy Bergeron

"You know, I can't imagine how I forgot," Sy proclaims, "But it just so happens that, last time I was in Borneo, I came across a tribe who worship the little-known brother of Orongu-Khan: Orangu-Tan. That's actually where I met Lady Jane, as she had been chosen by the natives to be the eternal bride of Orangu-Tan. Now, it seems to me to be nothing but bad taste to sacrifice a god's soon to be sister-in-law, don't you think? When, really, she ought to have a place of honor!"

 

[ethandrew]

Dr. Ecks is torn between watching the ultimate demise of Crash, Percy, and the Lady Jane, and the problem tasked at hand, a poorly constructed wooden impenetrable cage with a faulty yet impregnable locking mechanism. "Yes. Yeeees, let me see, let me see," his high pitched tenor changes into mumblings as he opens his mysterious black bag, pulling out a large nail file, a spool of string, and a piece of bubblegum.

 

[CaBaNa]

OH! piece of candy. exclaims Abercrombie reaching out to snatch the bubblegum from the good doctor.

 

[Dr Simon]

Queen Zamora: That was no mere "Giant Octopus", that was a Ganymedian Hentai Squid, given to me by the Emperor of Saturn. (She turns her head to one side, looking distraught, and bites a knuckle) Your tiny Earthling mind will never understand the joy he gave me. (Furious again) But now, you will be food for Orongu-Khan. Justice is mine!

The gates swing fully open, revealing the savage Venusian jungle beyond. Something large is crashing through the trees, and over the sound of the drums comes the mighty roar of Orongu-Khan.

Meanwhile, in the cage, Dr. Ecks succeeds in opening the door, despite the setback of losing the bubblegum. However, the excitement of success, or the stress of having to completely refigure his plan to allow for the loss of the bubblegum triggers the good doctor's narcolepsy. With a smile on his face, he pitches forwards, quite asleep. Abercrombie "Suicide" Bernard happily blows bubbles.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Crash Jones, Conning Suckers: 2d6+2 = 8. An average success, not enough to assuage an angry Venusian Warrior Queen.

Dr. Ecks, MacGuyvering Things: 2d6+2 = 13. Enough to overcome a Hard task. He opens the door. But...

Dr. Ecks, Narcoleptic: 2d6-4 = 4. Fails an Average check. He falls asleep.

Sy Bergeron, I Seem To Remember: 2d6+4 = 12. Overcomes a Difficult task, so the story is true. It doesn't help much at the moment, maybe it will be useful later?

Tork catches the good doctor before he falls on the floor. "Have caught doc. I do fetch you picture thing?" He asks a bit confused Suicide. As ever, he looks a bit silly in the modern clothes he is forced to wear.
