Roll D20…To the Death! (Part 5)

Part 4 is HERE.

The doctors couldn’t figure out what wrong with Scottie, but he was put in a hospital with a rapidly worsening condition.

Len and I decided to skip gaming night and visit our sick friend, instead. After some deliberation, we agreed to get Toddy, as well. We were ready to break the trailer door down, but found it already open.

Toddy sat at the kitchen table staring at the Sir Drexler module. He didn’t look up at our entrance but, before we could say anything about Scottie, said, “Sir Drexler is riding down upon the two of you.”

Len stormed into the kitchen and pointed a finger over the table into Toddy’s face.

“Cut the shit, Toddy,” Len said. “Scottie’s really sick.”

Toddy cracked his knuckles like a villain from some bad martial arts film. “I’m the Labyrinth Guide. I tell you what’s happening, not the other way around.”

Len made a fist. For a moment, it seemed he might actually hit him. He didn’t, though. Everyone always eventually backed down from Toddy. He was skinny and not overly tall but he emitted an electric aura of intimidation.

He just felt crazy.

“Sir Drexler lets out a soul-piercing battle cry,” Toddy said. “I suggest you prepare to defend yourselves.”

Len looked at me sternly. “You know what, man? Let’s kick Drexler’s ass.”
