Ye Olde Standup Night (Begins Now!)

OOC: For people who are still interested in joining Sign up Here

Let the games begin!

A little old town, rested in the center of the deeply wooded forest, surrounded on all sides by a heavy wooden gate. No way in or out aside from a single great door, resting by a moat, guarded and kept on watch at all times. Inside was a very slow-town, made up of farmers and travelers and people seeking refuge, in the center was a great hall, standing like a theatre, infact it was a theatre, as well as the town's main hall. Every night people seemed to gather there for business, and everyone was especially looking foward to tonight, as no one quite knew what matter of hillarity would ensue...

First to step out of the dark wood was Sir Laughalot, a brown haired man with a longsword and bow, wearing spling mail armor with a white tint. He seemed like an ordinary traveler, but before him in his hands was a colorfull plaid map, which also served as an invitation...

Following him holding similar peices of paper were a man who went by the name of Deamonrules, and a similar person named Lord high Eater of legs, both were too well cloaked to have their identities be revealed...

behind them was a dwarf going by the name of Svelen Stoneater. he kept his arms crossed and followed the others with a stern face.

They neared the gate, and a guard hollared "WHO GOES THERE! are you the Travelers from Lands afar... selected for... The destiny?"

The four looked at their Plaid Pamflets which read "For those selected for... the destiny..."

They knew not what the destiny was but were equally prepared to face it...

"Well?" The guard shouted from atop the large wall. "Are you the ones?"

Lord High Eater of Legs · 01-15-2003, 02:45 PM

'I am one,'
Came the voice of one of the hooded figures.
He pulled his cloak off
'I am Khalraan, a high Lord in my lands, tell us, what is our destiny?'
The question came, the Lord speaking for the whole group.

"Aye! we welcome thee!" The guard shouted. The gate opened up and a drawbridge lowered, to everyone's suprise a red carpet was then rolled out and several trumpeteres stood to the side and began to blare a grand welcomeing song in unison. All activity in the town sped up and ticker tape began flying through the air, the mages casting dancing lights on the cloudy skies and the whole setting become very festive for the outdoors...

one of the guards looked at his hourglass watch "And its only high noon... The bards haven't even arrived..."

Sigmar · 01-15-2003, 03:10 PM

This must be the place, look at all the guards they have positioned around the entrances...not to mention the gathering crowd of spectators.

I don't like this Sigmar, we don't have permission to be here...

Yet, we don't have permission yet my good jester.

Tiax, my name is Tiax, and why do you insist upon me wearing this ridiculous costume.

To ridicule you...anyway just remain calm and follow my lead, follow me my comrades!

Ahh this is yet another plan doomed to fail you oaf...

"Good day good guard, I am a bard..."

The guards thumbed through a list of names...

"Greetings bard and company... what say ye name is again?"

"Ah what's it matter Fillip... he says he's a bard, he looks a bard too... I say we just let him in even if he's not on the list... after all... they said there'd be others..."

"alright mister Sigmar and triax... you may enter, but take this guard with you..."

"What?"

"Just go along with it, you got yourself into it..."

"oh FAH!"

"As long as fillip is with you you will be permitted to walk about the town and do as you like..."

"but why me?" the scrawny knight begged...

"If they do anything out of order you'll be there to keep and restore it, understand?"

"yes... sire..." he grumbled and joined the party of Tiax

Meanwhiel the first 4 individuals were ushered into the nearest, inn... Just then more individuals began to exit the forest...all bearing golden envelopes...

"they're here! finally!"

The read the names off of the list and poitned to the people as they grew closer...

"Marl On'Mara is that powerfull sorcerer over there...
Eugine's that Goblin over there with the glasses...
Avian Quellina is the half elf... boy ain't she a looker...
/)eathkiller's the host... thats the odd half blue half red fellow...
And that one... whoah... " the guards mouthes stayed open for a while...
"Skydracgrrl is that last female bard over there..."
"um well thats everyone on the first page..."
"good good... they might show up before the others..."
"right o... lets go down and greet them!"

"HAIL bards from afar!" the two guards shouted..."

The blue and red one waved "Well met!" he then muttered under his breath "fools.."

as he set foot on the red carpet...

Sir Laughalot Showed the guard his paper and wondered what he was to next.He stumbled over to Khallran and stood next to him trying look like he knew what he was doing.

/)eathKiller · 01-15-2003, 05:16 PM

"you four with the plaid envelopes must come with us quickly...."

the guards collected the guards and rushed them out of sight...

They were transfered into a small building next to the Central hall and told to sit down.

"all of you are individuals who were asked to come here with Plaid envelopes were elected by our finest all-seers as high Judges of events..."

---------

Meanwhile...

The Fellows with Gold envelopes, and Sigmar, were then taken to a localle in where they were told to make themselves comfortable...

They knew why they had come, as written by the notes delivered to them:

The bearers of these messages have been granted the fine honor of entertaining the Town of Some, located in the center of the black forest of Nowhere. Bring with you the best of your routines of humorouse descent, all gags and jokes of present future and past are welcome to your routine... and the finest of you shall be granted a granded reward. The highest honor for all humorouse performers in the multiverse.

The performers proceeded to make themselves at home in the large inn. A comfortable asortment of seating, a roaring fire, and an ever vigalent 4 armed bartender with stitches and battle scars filled with old memories from Acheron painted a warm glowing scene of absolute comfort and relaxation....

SomeGuy · 01-15-2003, 05:30 PM

Sir Laughalot took his seat. "Wow.This is cool.I wonder when we get to see some jokes.Oh and guard,could I get some milk?I wanna see if it is true that when you laugh milk spurts out your nose."

Killing Spree · 01-15-2003, 06:11 PM

Avian strided up to the carpet, putting an arm around the host's shoulder. She then held her golden envelope up on high, crossed her eyes and cried out,
"Make way for the freak show!"

Tancred · 01-15-2003, 07:26 PM

"Are you sure this is it? It looks a bit Blair Witch to me..."
"Of course I'm sure." a young man in tarnished armour emerges from the treeline, map in hand. "Look, there's a sign here."
He saunters up to a likely-looking guarded gate.
"Hello, er... one for the stalls?" he asks, showing a battered and crumpled seat ticket.
