Zargos, Planet of Wonders
Princess Zorina takes you by the hand and leads you through a series of secret corridors and rooms. Eventually she brings you to a lift which descends rapidly. Long moments pass and you think that eventaully the lift must stop but it doesn't.
Finally it comes to a halt. Zorina leads you out into an immense underground cavern. Stone formations like teeth rise from the floor and hang from the ceiling.
A single radium bulb above the door of the lift casts light into this subterrainean world. "You can come out my servants." calls out Zorina.
Moments later dozens of stocky scaly humanoids emerge from behind the rock out croppings. They are dressed in worn ragged clothing, their hands and feet are clawed and webbed. They stare with intense scarcely blinking yellow eyes.
One of their number approaches closer than the rest. "What does your majesty wish?" croaks the creature.
"I have come to show you to Skip, my husband to be and your future emperor." announces Zorina to the creature. "These sub-human things are called Trogmen. They were used by my ancestors centuries ago to build this city. Now they have been sealed in these caves and forgotten. With a few officers of my fathers army loyal to me I have been training and equiping them. They are my own private army, utterly loyal to me and poised to attack the capital city from within its own walls."
Zorina seems to fairly glow pleased with her plans and the unconditional loyalty of these creatures. "Come Skip, I can show you more of my army if you wish." enthuses Zorina.
What will you do?
