SHORT INTERLUDE PART FIVE

Vaporate the last nurse and combine it with the traitor.

RELEASE THE BEAST WITHIN THE KIT.

Swing Davey Crockett at Archimedes, or just charge at him in such a way that both of em get a concussion out of it.




“Argg!” cries Theoderm Roosevelt as he ...distractedly vaporates his own hand. “Blast! NOW YOU'VE MADE ME ANGRY! And, as I always say,” he says, as he reaches into his trouser pocket, “If you want to get your way you need to SPEAK IN ALL CAPS AND CARRY A BIG ANGRY SKELETAL HONEY BADGER!”

...With a dramatic flourish the President pulls out the aforementioned big angry skeletal honey badger, which immediately leaps out of the necromantic starter kit to ...jump up and bite off King Leonidas’s face!

“RARRRRGGGGGGGGGGH!” shouts Roosevelt.

“Blast!” mutters Leonidas.

“Om nom nom” continues the undead honey badger.

Wound Acquired: King Leonidas Etc.: Severed Face!

Just then the President leans over to pick up and weaponise Davy Crockett, ...but he forgets to bend his knees and keep his back straight, and damages his back!

Wound Acquired: Theoderm Roosevelt: Slipped Disc!

Wound Acquired: Theoderm Roosevelt: Vaporated Hand!

Just as it seems things can’t get any worse for the Necromantic President, they don’t. ...His multi-limbed spiderous monstrosity ambles towards Archimedes of Syracuse and, in a blinding flash of skeletal spider leg, blood suddenly begins to pour from the vomit-smeared Greek’s chest.

Wound Acquired: Archimedes of Syracuse: Bleeding Chest!

Load laser, elemental magics, grab Bowie and retreat away from the next monster. 



“Blimey!” notices Archimedes, bleeding. In his confusion he stumbles about, ...accidentally knocking over his fancy but for some time entirely useless mirrors as he – also accidentally, he would later claim – aims his mathemagical arms at the remaining nurse, ...flaying every last remnant of water from the nurse’s body with his mind before igniting him into a blazing inferno of burning medical professional.

“Er…” he mumbles, backing off from the flames and ...bumbling into Bowie, knocking them both to the floor. “Whoops.”

Quote from: The voices in McCartney’s head
Play "Here Comes the Sun". TRs minions are undead, vampires are undead as well. This should work.



“This should work!” thinks Paul McCartney, rather optimistically. ...He grabs his guitar from over his shoulder and clears his throat.

“Here comes the sun!” he starts, before continuing, “Doo doo doo doo!”

“Here comes the sun, and I say…”

“Balls to that, is what I say!” blasts Roosevelt. “You and your bloody communist limey music! Oi!” he then shouts, addressing the undead nurse munching on his leg. “You’d best damn well get back here, you treacherous fiend! Come back!”

Alas! Roosevelt’s protestations are to no avail. ...The nurse minion flees, terrified by the thought of the sun!

Unfortunately for McCartney, ...Roosevelt himself is strong willed, and ...his spidermination has no ears!

Continue riding/attacking Roosevelt



Meanwhile, still perched on the rogue President’s shoulders, Steve Irwin tries to capitalise on his strong position by kicking Roosevelt repeatedly in the guts. ...But he misses! Instead he realises he must continue riding the President towards his fellow outdoorsman Crockett, who he can see is readying himself for a mighty kick in the President’s crotch!

As he leans down to better steer the portly fellow his ear rejoins the attack, savaging the American and ...violently severing his face!

“Ha!” harrumphs Stevo. “That’ll wipe the smile off yer face, mate! Or… er… yer face off… yer face? Crikey!”

Wound Acquired: Theoderm Roosevelt: Severed Face!

MIGHTY TEXAS BOOT NTR right into his skelespider minion!



"Time for a two-for-one deal, right?" suggests Davy Crockett to the bad President, who doesn’t appear to be listening. Taking his silence for wholehearted approval, Davy swiftly applies his MIGHTY TEXAS ER CROCODILE? BOOT to Theoderm’s groin! ...The kickee and his Australian rider fly straight into the nearby skelespider minion, ...severing a pair of arms as they go.

Severely bruised in the groin, Theoderm Roosevelt lands on the skeletal arachnabomination’s back, comfortably seated. Except for the groin bruising. And all the bleeding. And the severed face and guts.

Wound Acquired: Theoderm Roosevelt: Bruised Groin!

EAT OFF ROUND TWO: ARRIVAL OF THE GRAVY

OM NOM NOM



Just as a passing courtier arrives with a golden gravy boat filled to the brim with sweet delicious gravy, King Leonidas hears the lovely music of the Beatles and looks up in wonderment. He realises his competitor has fled.

Not one to stop such a simple fact as lack of competitor to stop him competing, he quickly slices off part of Roosevelt’s knee, dipping it in the gravy before having a quick chomp. He suddenly spits out the chewy meat as he realises his morale feels amazingly high.

“By Jove!” he exclaims. “Yet another eat off victory! No one can beat ME!”

He downs the gravy in one before throwing the gravy boat to the floor. He stands and stretches to his full height, roaring with triumph and bronzed manliness.

Bonus Acquired: King Leonidas: +1 Eat Off Victory Morale Bonus For Next Turn!

Wound Acquired: Theoderm Roosevelt: Lightly Bleeding Knee!

EAT OFF ROUND TWO: VICTORY TO KING LEONIDAS!

"Hey, you didn't let me finish my song, mate!" Paul McCartney props his guitar up on his shoulder. "Now, I don't know an awful lot about space. But what I do know is no matter where you go, long as you don't go too far, the sun shines on. So I say: it's all right!"

Paul McCartney sings his SECRET FROG-SUMMONING VARIATION of "Here Comes The Sun"!

"Here comes the sun (do-do-do-doo)

Little froggies

Little froggies

The Magnificent Timelord: Short Interlude. Part Six.

SHORT INTERLUDE PART SIX


By fire be purged! MY FISTS, THEY ARE MADE OF STEEL! (Firestarter to the left and punch in the face of Steve Irwin)

Spider goes after Archimedes!




“By fire be purged!” bellows Theoderm Roosevelt, after a dramatic pause. “MY FISTS, THEY ARE MADE OF STEEL!” he finishes, ...as he breaks Steve Irwin's face with a solid right hook aimed vaguely above his head. Irwin collapses onto the President’s head clutching his shattered jaw.

Wound Acquired: Steve Irwin: Broken Face!

Despite the Australian riding and bleeding on him, Roosevelt remembers the first part of his promise, turning towards the small group of bowienauts to the left and ...snorting a great blast of fire from his nostrils like some kind of fire-breathing necromantic horse-President. Miraculously his pet skeletal honey badger ...manages to avoid the blow, but the jet of fire ...hits King Leonidas straight in the chest before flowing onwards and ...barbequing Davy Crockett in the guts!

Behind the unfortunate pair, Paul McCartney is backed up against the wall, and sees the Presidential flame flowing towards him with milliseconds to spare! Naked and knowing it's his only chance, he thrusts his vomit-speckled reinforced guts towards the fire ...and takes the pain!

Wound Acquired: King Leonidas: Burning Pecs!

Wound Acquired: Davy Crockett: Burning Guts!

Wound Acquired: Paul McCartney: Singed Guts!

Bandage self, multiply this and set up the laser, again



Safe from the terrifying burny carnage mere metres away, Archimedes-

“Arg! A giant spider trying to chew my face off!” he suddenly realises, ...before elbowing the giant skeletal arachnabomination in the eyes and backing away. Slightly shaken by the unexpected although ultimately harmless assault, he quickly and finally sets up his laser and then slaps a plaster across his gaping chest wound. ...It seems to work.

Wound Acquired: Archimedes of Syracause: Light Chest Bleeding!

...Seeing his friends under desperate and horrifying attack, he turns to the power of maths.

“Friends!” he says, “I er... the... that's to say... the... um... ARGGGGGGG!”

As one his comrades turn to him, totally distracted by the amazing power of mathematics.

Penalty Acquired: Bowienauts: -1 mathematical distraction bonus for 1 turn!

Paul McCartney sings his SECRET FROG-SUMMONING VARIATION of "Here Comes The Sun"!



"Hey, you didn't let me finish my song, mate!" shouts the indignant and amazingly only slightly scorched Paul McCartney as he steps forward through the ring of fire. He props his guitar up on his shoulder and gets ready to play. "Now, I don't know an awful lot about space. But what I do know is no matter where you go, long as you don't go too far, the sun shines on. So I say: it's all right!"

"Here comes the sun (do-do-do-doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right”


Roosevelt looks at the Beatle with an air of bewilderment which soon changes to one of abject terror, an emotion he feels for perhaps the first time in his life.

”Little froggies
Swim in a long, cold, lonely river
Little froggies
It feels like years that they've been there

Here comes the sun (do-do-do-doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little froggies
The croaking returning to your faces
Little froggies
It seems like years since you've been here

Here comes the sun!"


...A shower of frogs explodes down onto the evil President, swarming up to his neck and pecking at his eyes! He tries to beat them off but one grabs hold of his moustache and ... begins to chew!

Wound Acquired: Theoderm Roosevelt: Severed Moustache!

Continue previous tactic of attacking and riding.



”Crikey, mate! says Stevo totally gratuitously as fire and blood fly everywhere about the room.

Sensing their chance as Roosevelt squirms in a sea of frog, Irwin and his bionic ear seize it! Blindly flailing about on Theoderm's shoulders, Stevo ...totally flattens some air next to him, mate, and is soon joined in victory by his ear, which ...absolutely strangles the nearby empty space to death!

Crockett and Boone simultaneously headbutt NTR in the chest!



Davy Crockett isn't one to put up with such raging incompetence for long: he steps awkwardly up to Roosevelt and tells him what's what – and what's about to be what!

"Time for the DOUBLE HEADBUTT!" he exclaims, giving his opponent a fair warning, like a gentleman should. Then, to be even fairer, both Crockett and Boone miss, and ...fracture Roosevelt's crotch with the combined force of their burning heads!

Wound Acquired: Theoderm Roosevelt: Fractured Crotch!

Right then! Drug up that Timelord, ideally with the good healy drugs, wherever they ended up.



As his foe falls to his knees clutching his groin, King Leonidas the Scorched resists the temptation to continue his eat-off and munch on his perfectly cooked and stupendously manly chest and instead drops, burning, to his own knees, and hands, and crawls about on the floor, scrabbling about looking for drugs in the gutter.

...He doesn't find any. His palms begin to feel a little clammy.

Just then a passing skeletal honey badger wanders up to him and ...nuzzles him affectionately behind the ear.

It wanders off again before it catches fire.

Yeah, sorry all. I am working on a turn, just a combination of things have led to a lack of energy and finding it difficult to write, and the extra motivation provided by a new game makes these things easier to get over, hence several updates for RtP and... one? none? for this.

Edit - still working on it... Bit bunged up with a cold and busy this weekend...

The Magnificent Timelord: Short Interlude. Part Seven.

SHORT INTERLUDE PART SEVEN

Zombify the dead guy down south if I can with my eye.

*PUNCH-SPLODE*




With his crotch fractured by a burning crocodile and his treasured moustache severed by a rabid frog, Theoderm Roosevelt is at a loss.

His mission has failed.

Time to turn to his secondary objective.

To gain time, he ...raises the corpse lying in the open coffin to the south as a zombie with the power of his eyes before redirecting his attention to the Australian croc-jockey riding his head.

...With a mighty smash of his legendary fist, he knocks Steve Irwin to the floor, freeing himself from the terrible bionic doom-ear! He backs away from the bowienauts and beckons his spidomination to do his violent bidding.

Before the bowienauts can even express their horror at Nikola Tesla being brought back to life to eat them, the skeletal spider fiend is upon them!

...Unerringly picking out the man who is undoubtedly the clearest threat – and, indeed, the only combat specialist present who is not on fire – the skeletal spider beast lunges with his fearsome jaws to rip off Stevo’s head. Diving away in a panic, Stevo lands head first on the floor and smacks his face in! Luckily enough though, the incompetent undead monstrosity is only able to rip off his own leg with his six foot long fangs!

Wound Acquired: Steve Irwin: Partially Ruined Face!

Continue attacking untill Roosevelt dies!



...Totally dazed by his own expert dodging skills, Steve Irwin jumps to his feet, aims a firm blow at the Presidential Necromancer, tumbles over, and punches the floor as hard as he can. He mutters Australian curses to himself and rolls over to approach Roosevelt, who ...nimbly steps away from the attacks of Stevo’s bionic ear, kicks the Australian away with a forceful blow, and laughs down at the pitiful attacks of his opponent.

"You think I am scared of death? Hahaha! Such will be your downfall! Hahaha!”

DOUBLEARMFACE



“Of death?” rhetorically asks Davy Crockett as he steps up. “No sir: I’m pretty sure you can withstand death, Mr President. But can you withstand THIS?”

...The burning Davy Crockett leaps forward as if possessed by the spirit of the enormous Hebridean sheep-frog, opening his jaws as wide as he can right in Roosevelt’s face, revealing the full glorious horror of the arms, brains and bits of liver visible through his gaping faceholes. He swears he can just make out a tiny reflection in the soulless eyes of the President, and just as he manages to retain mastery of his retch reflex the struggling President opens his mouth.

All witnesses present would, in later days, complain that the majestic spectacle of Niagara Falls was henceforth ruined for them, having seen the awe inspiring vomit-olanche that next spewed forth from the gaping maw of the Necromancer.

For yea! Theoderm Roosevelt is grievously struck down, an endless torrent of hard-boiled eggs, waffles and half-digested pheasant from the night before shoots out at a speed that knocks the unfortunate Davy Crockett dripping to the floor! His clothes, under the overactive digestive juices of a trained President, begin to sizzle and dissolve. As Roosevelt continues to thrust out the acrid aftermath of his breakfast, his body refuses to recognise it is empty, and pushes out morsels of internal organ: guts, kidneys, slivers of slimy damp lung; all find themselves flung out across the room and upon his enemies!

The President slumps to his knees.

Paul McCartney hobbles a little closer to THEODERM ROOSEVELT and sets of a beam of PURE LOVE from his guitar at him!



"Keep him down, boys! Shouldn't be long 'til the battle's over!" shouts McCartney, mercifully free from the worst of Roosevelt’s intestinal holocaust.

Pointing his guitar at the all-but-beaten foe, he strums out a forceful yet gentle beam of love. ...If anything, Paul just feels a little more depressed about things than he did before he touched his guitar.

He sits down on a nearby chair, suddenly feeling a little despondent.

Fire the laser at the monster Zombie, then attempt up to fix any bowienauts I can (Use the medic arm to quench/heal to.)



Rather than mope like some of his floppy-haired friends, Archimedes decides to act. He immediately fires his laser at the monstrous zombie spider thing, but, ...clearly blinded by the spray of vomit shotgunned into his face by Roosevelt, he entirely misses, only managing to set a nearby coffee table on fire.

Wiping the gut-evacuation from his eyes and cheeks, he suddenly clearly sees his fellow bowienaut severely burning. He gingerly makes his way over, tiptoeing through the river of sick before blasting Davy Crockett in the guts with his ...stupendously powerful arm-mounted water cannon!

Crockett flies backwards, smashing his skull against the wall behind and immediately bringing both hands up to his now ripped apart and severely bleeding guts!

At least they’re not burning!

Wound Acquired: Davy Crockett: Very Heavily Bleeding Guts!

Propelled by the immense recoil, Archimedes also flies backwards, smashing straight into Zombie Tesla!

...Zombie Tesla immediately bends down to chew on his miraculously delivered meal, but slips over in the stream of water and vomit, leaving Archimedes free to wriggle away. ...Luckily it seems Tesla’s electric capabilities have not yet fully recharged in his zombie form!

Leonidas summons an army of Spartans to help him look for the Timelord's drugs.



Just then, the peaceful scene of gutjuice drenched carnage is interrupted by a piercing scream.

...A passing honey badger skeleton is gnawing hungrily on King Leonidas of Sparta’s left buttock! That’s his favourite buttock! Leonidas turns round in a flash, burning heavily as he ...smashes the honey badger skeleton harmlessly in the face with his extra manly bronze shield! Frustrated by his failure, he screams out an angry roar.

“SPARTANS! TO ME! TONIGHT, WE DINE ON THEODERM ROOSEVELT!”

“Feckin’ stupid badger,” he adds, under his breath. Suddenly there’s an enormous noise and hundreds upon hundreds of Spartan warriors rush into the room, somehow all fitting in and grouping around their leader. They ahistorically beat their shields and shout into the air.

“FOR SPARTA! FOR DINNER! FOR DRUGS!”

To a man the Spartan army shoulder their shields and drop to their hands and knees, scrabbling about on the floor for Bowie’s drugs.



Suddenly the antechamber turns dark and there is a cold, black, rushing wind blasting from all sides into the centre of the room.

“Aha! Come then, my oldest and last rival! We shall duel properly, this time. En garde, sucker!"

The assembled bowienauts, peering between the hundreds of Spartans, first see Theoderm Roosevelt raising his fists. They turn to his opponent.

Death himself has appeared in the antechamber!

“So…” says Death. “You have decided to resist my advances once more, Roosevelt? Knowing full well that to do so may spell doom for all around? Knowing that you shall be cast unto the fiery pits of Neasden for all eternity? Yet still you come not silently? LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO FRANCE THE LAST TIME, ROOSEVELT!”

“Bwahahahah! Yes! Come and get me, Death! I will punch your bony face right in! I would let that happen to France a thousand times and show no remorse! I am a proud American, and you, Death, you are totally going down!”

Just as Death raises his scythe above his head a shout goes out amongst the assembled Spartans.

“King Leonidas! We have found the drugs! Gods be praised!”

Death brings his scythe down, only for Theoderm Roosevelt to sidestep to the left and bring his fist of iron smashing into Death’s jawbone.

The severed part flies off in an arc!

“You bastard, Roosevelt! I’m going to give your scrotum to my Labrador as a handbag chew toy, you ungodly fiend! Wait, how come I can still talk? OH YES, BECAUSE I AM DEATH! Kneel, Roosevelt, that this may be quick and painless for you!”

Theoderm Roosevelt sidesteps back to the right and nuts Death in the right cheek.

The severed part flies off in an arc!

“You shit, Roosevelt! I’m going to-“

Roosevelt ducks down and punches Death in the groin!

The severed part flies off in an arc!

Death begins crawling away on the floor towards his severed crotch. Theoderm Roosevelt, cracking his knuckles and preparing his stomping boots, walks slowly after him.



Suddenly there is a blinding flash and an electric blue light fills the room.

“Whoa dudes,” says the Magnificent Timelord Bowie as he gets to his feet. “That was pretty freaky, man. I think something happened to the space time whatnot. Oh shit, what’s Roosevelt doing here again? Trying to resuscitate my dear departed bowienauts? And Death? What the hell are you doing here dude? Whoa, Roosevelt’s really smacked you up this time, eh. Oh hey, Spartan army. Thanks for finding my drugs, man. Men. Good work.”

David Bowie walks up to Theoderm Roosevelt and places his hand upon the American’s shoulder.

“Look dude. I’m gonna let you go again this time. But next time! Next time I will totally smack you down and let that death geezer take you, man. These are the greatest heroes of mankind, dude! I can’t let you desecrate their corpses like that. Well, not again.”

Just then David Bowie feels a tugging pain on his ankle. He looks down. Zombie Tesla is chewing his leg!

“Whoa, shit dude!” shouts Bowie, mildly alarmed. “Zombie Tesla! Get down, man, or I’m-“

Zombie Tesla keeps chewing his leg!

“That’s not cool man. Hey, be pacified by the Power of Sequins!” A spurt of sequin energy shoots from Bowie’s crotch eyes, blasting Zombie Tesla back to the floor, and deanimatifying him! “And you!” continues Bowie, turning back to the American President and staring with slight irritation. “Get back to whence you came and stuff, man!”

David Bowie picks up Theoderm Roosevelt with his right hand, and throws him right through a nearby gap in the space time continuum!

“And you! Death!” says the Magnificent Timelord, turning to Death. “Pick up you crotch and bugger off, mate. We’ve no need for you here.”

“And you! Crockett!” finishes Bowie, turning to Davy Crockett. “You’re bloody well on fire, mate.”



HOSPITAL INTERLUDE

“Whoa dudes. You’re pretty beaten up, man. Men. We’re gonna get you fixed up extra quick, ‘cause I’ve got a pretty hairy mission I need you to go on. Yeah man, you’ve taken out ChairMan Miaow! You’ve taken out both ROBOSTALIN and SPEEDOSTALIN, earning us all the eternal hatred of 60s Sean Connery in the process! So far you have handled all your tasks with bravery and aplomb! But still. Our scientists have calculated that there’s just totally no way you will be able to take out dinoHITLER without suffering over 200% casualties, and that’s just not something I’m willing to risk. So, heavy as it sounds, I’m gonna have to send you back in time, man. I’m gonna have to send you to…”

CHAPTER THREE: BOWIENAUTS AND DINOHITLER’S MUM

“Oh, first though, let’s see to your wounds. You know,” says Bowie, glancing up at his first patient, “I’m almost totally partially medically qualified, man. Not many people know that about me. And I’m totally off my face on all these drugs. Yeah.”

STEVE IRWIN: SEVERED LEFT FOOT: ...REPLACED WITH FULLY FUNCTIONING LEFT FOOT. KEEP REPLACEMENT Y/N? REJECT REPLACEMENT Y/N? TRY AGAIN FOR KEEPS Y/N?

PAUL MCCARTNEY: SEVERED LEFT LEG: ...REPLACED WITH FULLY FUNCTIONING KEYBOARD LEG. KEEP REPLACEMENT Y/N? REJECT REPLACEMENT Y/N? TRY AGAIN FOR KEEPS Y/N?

DAVY CROCKETT: SEVERED LEFT LEG: ...REPLACED WITH FULLY SEVERED LOWER BODY. KEEP REPLACEMENT Y/N? REJECT REPLACEMENT Y/N? TRY AGAIN FOR KEEPS Y/N?


“Er. Whoops. Sorry Davy. Totally hallucinated a flying monkey making a spider web all over your groin. It’s the best I could do, man! Now, you ready guys? Let’s go!”



“Right. So. We’ve detected dinoHITLER’s mum at a reasonably fixed point on this one plane, see. So I’m gonna hurl you down there, you’re gonna track her down, and you’re gonna persuade her never to have children. Or murder her. Up to you. Foolproof, eh?”

Bowie turns to the ceiling and speaks in a commanding and clear voice.

“Activate TVC ONE FIVE.”

A large electric blue screen drops from the ceiling on one side of the room.

“Ready? Go!”

Suddenly Bowie grabs each of the bowienauts in turn by the collar, hurling them one handed at the screen!



There’s a strange sensation of flight, then a feeling of being very still; a flash of lights, a feeling of being alone in the corner of a room on a dank Saturday night, a strange, stomach churning noise. There’s a brief wave of purple.

The bowienauts tumble onto the ground one by one.

They look about.

All around is dense jungle.

“So… er… can you hear me, over? DinoHITLER’S mum should be about 2 clicks to the north west, our readings seem to indicate. Good luck.”

Suddenly there is a rustling noise in the undergrowth. Then a stomping noise. Then a fearsome roar.

“RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!” says the Tyrannosaurus Rex, stomping  into the tiny clearing and towering over the bowienauts. “FORCES OF THE EVIL SCIENTIST, REPENT! YOU ARE SURROUNDED!”

The dinosaur stops talking to point with his deformed looking arm towards a tree behind the bowienauts, who turn to see a pterodactyl swoop down from it and land behind them.

“SUBMIT, THAT WE MAY EAT YOU IN PEACE!”
