Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria
Julius Aldo twiddled his thumbs impatiently. These five minutes were going on
far too long! He needed something to do. Maybe he could get some intel on this "Nox" place? Hey, didn't Sindibad say he had a list of a whole bunch of big evil organizations and their contact information?
Julius roughly tapped Sindibad on the shoulder, and spoke with determination.
"Hoi, Sandstorm. I heard you've got some yellow pages full of villains. Know of anyone from a planet called 'Nox'?"
Sindibad scratched his chin thoughtfully.
"You know, I think I do. Here, I had the whole thing scanned, so anyone with access to this wifi network can read the addresses."
Julius carefully searched through the file that was Sindibad's address book, until he found what he was looking for. Sure enough, it was stationed on a planet called Nox. An address to one... Hecuba, a half-ogre necromancer with a network of demon minions.
Apparently, the address connected directly to something called the "Orb of Nox", which she used as both a weapon and a seerstone. Apparently, it could be used as a two-way radio, as well. Ah, the wonders of technology!
Julius decided to try his luck, and opened a connection between the pizzeria's HAM Radio and the Orb of Nox. In just a short while, a sultry, haughty, definitely female voice answered.
"Who
dares speak to me--Hecuba, Queen of the Necromancers? I, who know
all of Nox? You, fool... your voice
reeks of one from out of the realm. I have known only one of those before-- the wretched disciple of that damned Captain! Tell me who you are, now! Speak quickly,
fool, before my Death Knights track you down and find out
for me!"
Julius scoffed. These
necromancers always acted so high and mighty. Little did they know, a hollow-point round through the sternum always beats any primitive magical defenses they could cook up. For the time being, however, Julius decided to remain diplomatic.
"I am no one but a man seeking to aid you. I have reason to believe that a powerful artifact exists. One that will, uh--one that will
increase your powers to the level of a GOD! This mighty artifact is known as the Eye of the Serpent, and lies under lock and key in your land of Nox! Please, my Lady of Darkness, if you could use your limitless knowledge to find this gem, I would be happy to risk life and limb to seize it for you!"
Hecuba's tone appeared to soften considerably. Greed filled her voice, intermingled with confusion.
"You're proactive... I
like that. However, your information is wrong-- there
is no Eye of the Serpent. I have consulted my all-seeing imps, and not one has heard tales of this 'Eye'. You have been lied to, outworlder. However, I
do have a task for you that you can complete. It's simple, all you have to do is--"
Julius cut in suddenly. "Sorry, lady. Don't wanna hear it. You have a good one, now!"
With a quick flick of his finger, he turned off the HAM radio, and left Hecuba to fume impotently. Laughing heartily, he spoke to Sindibad.
"Ho-ha, I haven't crank-called someone like that in
years! Yeah, I think we got the wrong Nox on that list. That necromancer chick didn't hear anything about the Eye of the Serpent, but
ow-ee is she mad right now!"
Sindibad laughed along. Screwing with primitives was
loads of fun! Soon after, a sneaky thought creeped into his head.
"Hey Julius," Sindibad said, "do you think we could set her up to invade the
other Nox?"
Julius stared at Sindibad, his bushy eyebrows perked. "What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean, she's pissed off right now, yeah? And, since necromancer-types are always war-happy morons, she's probably looking to find you and turn your kingdom into a necroplois, right? Well, all we have to do is give her the name and coordinates of a place we want gone, and then say that we're
from it!"
A sinister grin crept across Julius's face. "I
like that idea, Sandstorm. Yeah... that's real good! When I rip the coordinates of whatever shithole the Eye of the Serpent is kept in out of this Arragoz guy's fingers, we can stage a
distraction using this necromancer chick's army, and steal the Eye without any worries! All we need to do is make sure she can teleport there!"
"Well,
that's easy," Sindibad said, "Necromancers
always have portals! Just tell her how to use them to get between worlds, and we're set!"
Julius's grin became toothy. "That's the best plan I've heard out of your mouth since you joined up, Sandstorm! Yeah... let's do it!"
