PREVIEW: House of the Beast Round 3!

Tragically, between being the reader at every Christmas service this week, spending most of Sunday (my primary Pantaloonia day) trapped at church by a freak Texas snowstorm, and throwing my back out this morning, and then insisting on going sledding with a thrown out back (totally worth it), I will have to postpone Round 3 until next Monday.

In lieu of the actual update, here's a preview montage of completely out of context rapid cuts.

CUE REQUIEM FOR A DREAM


"PANTALOONIA WILL FALL!"


 

*wriggle wriggle*



"I AM NO ORDINARY STINGING LOBSTER."


KABOOM.



"For the master. For the master. For the master."



 

"MY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!"


"MY ASS TOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"There is… deviltry afoot."


Aaaaaand fade to black.


"It's like some kind of… round… Some kind of round 3."

Lord Citrus Seltzer Sees Daylight: House of the Beast 10

Image
His qualms quelled, LORD CITRUS SELTZER abandons his shield, takes up a HAUNTABLE HUNK OF ANCIENT STONE, and sets off down the cramped and twisting tunnel the GHOST showed him. After many arduous scrapings and squeezings, LORD SELTZER sees sunlight! With one final effort, he bursts out of the dark and dismal underworld and back onto good, Pantaloonian soil. A strange sight meets his eyes. He stands in the center of a series of connected ruined towers, each taller than the last. At the top of the highest tower, stuck to a black spiderweb, hangs THE GOLDEN BANJO. A stone STAIRCASE to LORD SELTZER'S right marks the only way up. On the second tower, a STYLITE stands muttering prayers atop a PILLAR.     To his left, LORD SELTZER sees a disorganized knot of CRUSADER FOOTMEN rushing in his direction – they appear to be in a state of panic. LORD SELTZER can make out the occasional cry of "SASHIMI!" and "NINJIRATE SAVAGES!" Ahead – is that FATHER BEARDODOULOS? Some ti...

Lord Jarritos Gets a Monkey: House of the Beast 10

Image
LORD JARRITOS calls for the distant SWORD MONKEY! Hearing that it's murderous services are required, the SWORD MONKEY nimbly dashes across the ruins and leaps onto LORD JARRITOS supersweet CANNON CHARIOT.   With its new simian crew member, the CANNON CHARIOT is more deadly than ever (+ 2 dice). However, LORD JARRITOS'S enemies have had time to regroup – in the field in front of him, he sees the strange SNAKE WOMAN march her troops out of the JUNGLE and into the FIELD, where they come face-to-face with the CANNIBALS. Just as it looks like the two groups will come to blows, the SNAKE WOMAN raises a HEART-SHAPED SCEPTER. There is a flash, and suddenly the GRAND MAN-EATER lowers his axes… and orders his men to join the SNAKE WOMAN. Suddenly, there is a thunderous roar to the right. THE STEVE – missing an arm and two legs – staggers around the corner. He is grievously wounded and beset on all sides by PANTALOONIANS… But the newly formed SERPENT-CANNIBAL COALITION is positioned a...

The Black Russian Shakes Things Up: House of the Beast 10

Image
THE BLACK RUSSIAN doesn't have time to mince words. He shouts his warning to MASTER MENDICANT, and then wheels around and charges the CRUSADERS, waving for the KING OF STINGING LOBSTERS to flank them! His valiant steed leaps over the surprised heads of the ensorcled BLUE BASHERS and smashes into the unsuspecting CRUSADER CAVALRY! The crash of the impact rings across the battlefield! THE BLACK RUSSIAN is thrown from his horse! The CRUSADER KNIGHT flies backwards, armor shattering to pieces! The BLUE BASHERS finish him off before he can get to his feet… THE BLACK RUSSIAN leaps back onto his noble steed and takes stock of the situation. Behind him, the remaining CRUSADER KNIGHTS face off against – a SKELETON HORDE and some kind of MONSTROUS BUTLER? A cry rings out from the cliff above – SAMURAI SAM just made some CRUSADER SASHIMI with UTMOST PREJUDICE. The death of their comrade is so shockingly gruesome, the rest of the CRUSADER FOOTMEN… [*Cue morale rolls*] RUN AWAY SCREAMING....
