We're back with some more Becky Joy & Sir Fumblies!

They really are a classic pairing in my eyes. The end of this roleplay is a surprise in some ways, but a natural progression in others. We're just starting to draw close to the Finale here, so do enjoy!

 
To set the stage, Becky Joy, who'd recently left the Feline Empire, had joined up with Sir Fumblies after learning Catrina may have been manipulated into her devious actions while she headed up the Feline Empire. Suspecting a tie between her situation and that of her replacement, Kadlin Bearsmasher, several adventurers, including Fumblies and Becky, attempted to force their way into Hey Daze to rescue her. To this end, Sir Fumblies had hired assistance from an anti social loner who called himself only "Wolf."

A chance encounter with a demon in the Nearby forests paid off when the demon opened up a portal to Hey Daze to flee Fumblies and Becky, with Wolf helping to hold the portal open, almost at the expense of his own life.

On the other side of the portal was a room obscured by thick smoke. As Fumblies and the rest of the group all came to stop in this as of yet unknown area Hey Daze, strange laughter echoes around them. "You fools have obviously fallen into what can only be considered a deadly trap on my part! Now, the only thing to do is sit and wait until I do whatever it is I plan to do! Bwahahaha, would you like FRIES with your DOOM?!"

That was the voice of the demon who'd been harassing Fumblies moments ago, the one tricked into opening the portal to Hey Daze. Fumblies looked at Wolf and shook his head in amusement. "Wolf how are you feeling? I know holding that portal open wasn't easy."

"I will be fine Fumblies but know that I will be adding some extra fees to this expedition." Wolf commented calmly before he started looking around for their path out of this area.

"Okay so any idea where in Hey Daze we are?" Fumblies asked with an interested curiosity. As he waited for a reply a he turned his attention to the demon. "If this is your idea of DOOM then I feel bad for because you have got to be one of the most gullible demons alive. We WANTED to come to the Hey Daze as we have some business to take care of. Thank you for opening the portal for us. That saved us quite a bit of time on our errand."

"It's no problem, I-" the demon paused. "Wait a minute!"

"You're welcome!" Becky said, squeezing between the two. "Hi, I'm Becky! Becky Joy! You can call me Becky. Becky Joy! And also, do you know where Catrina is? Cause we wanna find her, and so we gotta know!"

The demon turned towards Wolf, confused. "WHAT is your little pet going on about?!"

"Yeah we are in Hey Daze but I am still working out the exact area," Wolf answered.

The demon's face seemed to melt off, revealing a skull under. Green nearly fainted at the sight. Oddly, Becky clapped, amused. The demon spoke. "Why, you're in your worst nightmare, Sir Fumblies!"

"I don't think so because there only one of you, Becky," Fumblies retorted as he watched the demon.

"AHA! That's it!" the demon shouted. "I'll simply conjure up a billion Becky Joys! Bwahahaha! Hahaha... ohh, this will be good!"

"Really?" Red asked, impatiently. "You don't think that's a bit overkill?"

"Oh!" Becky said, excitedly. "Will any of them be my friends?"

"No!" the demon yelled. Becky pouted.

"Have you have seen what a group of Goblin Brutes can do in action?" Fumblies asked this of the demon conversationally while he stood with a smirk on his lips.

"Why, no?" the Demon answered, confused. "I'd guess something adorable and harmless?"

Red just chuckled at the thought, knowing better.

"I could have them give you a demonstration if you like." Fumblies was enjoying this a little too much and watched the demon for a response. Twitch and Zap were both keeping their distance as they knew things could get nasty in the blink of an eye.

"Well, okay," the demon said. Foolishly.

"You should close your eyes!" Red said. "It's more of a surprise that way."

The demon raised an eyebrow at the Knob Goblin. "Really?"

"Yes!" Green answered, crossing his fingers behind his back.

"Well, I guess if you want me.." That's all the demon got out. For as soon as the demon had agreed to a demonstration Fumblies had singled for Tus to get moving. In the less than a few seconds Tus and three of the other Brutes had each grabbed one of the demon's arms or legs. They each stepped back, stretching the demon out.

"Now if you value having your body be in one piece you will tell us where they are keeping Catrina Whiteclaw." Fumblies commented with a stern no nonsense tone. He was not going to waste much of his time on this demon. "Twitch I want you to be ready to start taking fingers."

"I'm already dead, you fools!" the demon yelled, struggling in vain. "Although if you tell me more about her, I'm sure I could find her."

"Yeah, right!" Becky said, blasting him with an ice cold chill, which the brutes holding him didn't appreciate.

Fumblies continued to smirk as Twitch moved towards one of the demon's hands. "Now I am sure you have heard of the person we seek. After all she is here in Hey Daze so I know you have heard of her. I mean who hasn't heard of the former Queen of the Feline Empire?"

"Is this really a good idea?" Wolf asked with a bit of uneasy caution as he looked around knowing that something interesting was bound to happen.

The demon's face went pale. Which's saying something since it was crimson red a moment ago. "Her? HER? The one the Dark Ones themselves have claimed! You're better off not knowing, bwahahahaha!"

"Twitch." This simple comment / order from Fumblies was enough for the Twitch to use his dagger to remove one of the demon's fingers. Once this was done Fumblies spoke again in the same tone as earlier. "Now let's try this again as I am getting impatient and my friends are not known for waiting. Where is she?"

"Ouch, give it back! Ow, ow, OW!" The demon whined. "Fine, if you must know, the latest reports on the extranexus was she was in deepest downtown hell. Now I must insist you give me my finger back and leave me to be! If I don't get that back on tight and it ends up falling into a shake, we are going to have a serious problem!"

Becky giggles. "That seems like a silly way to stir a shake."

"Indeed," the demon replied dryly.

"Tus it is your turn to have some fun. Twitch stick his finger in his mouth and get over here." Fumblies was not in a mood to be messed with. With a strangely savage smirk for the normally laid back half-orc Fumblies watched at the four Brute play tug-a-war with the demon. This of course resulted in the demon become four separate pieces. Turning to Wolf, Fumblies smiled and asked him a quick question. "So how hard will it be to get to deepest downtown hell from here?"

"I'm falling apart, I'm an emotional wreck here!" the Demon screamed, obviously in some pain. "Look, pal, just think about where you're going. That's how you get around here."

The Brutes dropped the demon's body before moving back to the group. Wolf sighed at the way things were going on this job but in the end he knew he was going to get a massive bonus out of all of this. So he finally made a comment on their location. "If you will come with me I will have us there in no time."

"No time sounds like good time to me!" Red said.

And follow they did, quickly making their way in a seemingly random direction which, as promised, lead them towards a large demonic looking city covered in neon lights. The city in front of them seemed to stretch on for miles in any given direction and even at a distance, it was hard to take in at once. It felt as if you could hear the screams from the damned raising from the city like ghosts. You couldn't but the way your skin would crawl might convince you otherwise for a moment.

"Ladida!" Becky sang, skipping as she kept up with and occasionally passed by the others. "Oops, I mean lalala!"

"Becky is that really wise? We are are in Hey Daze after all." This was spoken by Fumblies as he kept eyeing the city.

"Good point," Becky said. "And I should sing louder to make sure they can hear me, cause it's so big!"

"Ahhh," Green said. "Maybe we should creep a little quieter, Miss Joy..."

At about that time a trio of cloaked figures stepped out from behind a pile of rubble. One towered over the others. They stopped in front of the unit. Fumblies moved forward to address the trio then stopped wondering who he could be speaking too. "Can we help you?"

"I am afraid that we can't let you pass. My Master was quite clear on the fact that you never make it to the city." One of the figures spoke in a hauntingly familiar voice.

"Oh!" Becky raised her hand. "How about we let you cross and then we can just keep walking? Then you won't have had have had to break your promise!"

"That is not possible Miss Joy and to ensure that you don't interfere with my Master's plans I have brought along some assistance." The figure commented as he dropped his cloak to reveal the form of none other than Bones, the Fumblies' Command necromancer. Before a reaction could be given to this the other to figures revealed themselves to be Hunk and Dr. Darth. Hunk's tree-trunk-like arms were folded confidently over his massive chest.

"Hunk observe stunned faces in amusement."

"I will deal with your working for the powers of evil later Bones but for now how do the three of you mean to stop the almost twenty of us?" Fumblies asked this in an almost condescending tone. Dr. Darth turned towards Hunk with a nod. Hunk rushed forward in a dead charge at Sir Fumblies, ignoring Becky's frigid attacks and throwing aside the dozen or so Knob Goblins. Fumblies just barely dodged out of the way, barely avoiding Hunk's first massive swipe.

Fumblies started to prepare a powerful spell to blast Hunk with but tripped over backwards, falling on his behind. He looked up to see the malice in the smile and eyes of Hunk, who stood over Sir Fumblies, ready to smash.

Cool huh?
