The Bridge of Death
The party came upon the bridge of death, after exiting the cave of Caerbannog after scaring away the Black Beast of Arrrghhh.
"So, who's gonna be the first to cross the bridge and answer the three questions?" asked Arthur with an evil look on his face.
"I guess I will," said Jack unenthusiastically. "I'll attack the old man from the north and..."
"No...all you have to do is answer the five..." started Arthur.
"Three," corrected Legolas happily. He now had a very big grin spread across his face. It had something to do with the fact that he had been proving Arthur wrong a lot lately.
"Right, answer the three questions," finished Arthur who was now glaring at Legolas.
"Ok, so all I have to do is answer some stupid questions?" asked Jack with one eyebrow raised.
"Yes, and we will wait here, and pray, and eat, and play cards, and do other amusing thigs," mused Arthur. He looked like he was talking to no one in particular.
"Well, I might as well get this over with," said Jack as he trudged away toward the bridge. When Jack came to the bridge he saw the man from scene 24.
"To cross this bridge you have to answer me these questions three, yo," said the old man who now had a very spiffy briefcase and suit.
"Yeah, yeah, ask me the freaking questions," said Jack boredly.
"What is your favorite song?" asked the old man.
"Eh? My favorite song? Well, if you have to know its "A Pirates Life for me". At least I think that's what its called," said Jack who was now thinking that this question thing wasn't such a bad thing.
"What is your name?" asked the old man.
"Captain Jack Sparrow," replied Jack, a little confused.
"What is your quest?" the old man asked.
"To loot, pillage, and destroy everything in my path, without killing a single person," replied Jack with a large smile on his face. He began to think back to his days on the Caribbean. He especially missed the "whelp". The blonde elf strangely resembled him, which made Jack feel more at home.
"Ok, you can pass," said the old man. "Be careful by the way!" he called after Jack, but by the time he said this, Jack had already crossed the bridge and was sitting on a rock at the other side. The others, seeing how easily Jack had passed, ran eagerly to the old man from scene 24.
"Ask me the questions! OOh pick me!" screamed Legolas happily.
"Fine," said the old man. "What is your name?"
"Legolas Greenleaf of the Woodland Realm," replied Legolas eagerly.
"What is your quest?" the old man asked.
"To help Frodo destroy the ring of power, and to defeat Sauron's armies," said Legolas proudly. It made him quite proud that he was helping Frodo destroy the ring of power.
"What is Sauron's middle name?" asked the old man with an evil grin on his face
"That's easy, his middle name is Miriam," replied Legolas.
"You may pass," said the old man gruffley. Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Gimli were the next to walk up.
"Can I pass? I'm with the elf," said Gimli.
"Yeah," the old man replied. Gimli sprinted across the bridge toward Legolas.
"Ok, so can you ask us the questions already?" asked Frodo impatiently.
"What is your name?" asked the bridge keeper.
"Frodo Baggins of the Shire," replied Frodo.
"What is your quest?" asked the old man.
"To destroy the ring of power," replied Frodo sadly. It was such a burden. Stupid ring.
"What is your favorite color?" the old man asked.
"Blue," replied Frodo. Of course his favorite color was blue, it was after all the color of his gorgeous eyes.
"You can pass," said the old man boredly. "You guys too," he said pointing at Merry and Pippin.
"Thanks," they said in unisen as they followed Frodo across the bridge.
"I hate this job," said the old man as Arthur and Aragorn approached. "What is your name?"
"King Arthur," replied Arthur proudly.
"What is your quest?" asked the old man.
"I seek the holy grail," replied Arthur.
"What is the average air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" asked the old man quickly.
"What do you mean? African or European?" asked Arthur.
"I don't know that!" yelled the old man as he went flying into the gorge underneath the bridge of death. Arthur and Aragorn gave the bridge one last frightened look, then crossed it.
