The dark towers of Quiznor loomed as the Quiz Master stepped from the boat. His man-at-arms,
@Admin , stared blackly at the sheer walls of ignorance before them. "It looks like whoever built this place didn't know an awl from an auger," he muttered.
"Let us begin," resolved the QM, "this battle must be won before the day is out!"
"Well, it's quarter-past eight already!" said Admin. At that very moment, one of the enemy quizzers stuck their head above the parapet.
"Look, can you give us five minutes? I forgot to have a wee, sorry!"
"Oh, go on then!" QM and Admin looked at each other, the sky, the ground, their fingernails, each other again. "Did you see th...."
"OK, we're ready now!"
"At last," muttered QM, then screamed "CHARGE!!!!!"
Admin and QM ran into the castle. They came to a dark corridor, with piped music playing in the background. It was Wham!, which could only mean their first adversary was
@Pearls who put up a fierce fight, but suddenly left without warning. They weren't expecting a new tactic from their next attacker, but
@debE was not tied to someone else for a change and this almost threw our brave heroes. The challenges came thick and fast now, with a two-pronged attack from
@Horny_Essex_Pair and
@Baldricknkaz raining blows down on them and
@Corfu_Connie_john came rushing at them, almost hidden from view. They then had to face a new foe, a masked berserker from the eastern middle-lands, known only as
@Antogs The Quite Pervy.
Knowing that they still had their strongest challengers yet to face, QM drew his Sword of Bonus. It gleamed in the torchlight. (He had been gifted the sword by an old man in a marketplace who had told him, "It is a sword of deceit - flash it one way and it looks like a Simpsons question, flash it another and it will seem like it's something to do with chocolate bars. None shall guess its true nature! Hahahahahahahaha!!" and vanished in a puff of smoke. He was probably a vape user.)
@Nigel&Julie came at them with their usual ferociousness but were beaten back for once, while
@Vanezza managed to steal the crown but were pole-axed by the Sword of Bonus.
QM and Admin surveyed the carnage, brave quizzers who had died with their quiz on and would go to Quizhalla to get questions wrong with the gods. They made to leave when, suddenly, a hand grabbed QM's ankle - Julie was down but not out! "Curse you, QM, the man in the marketplace was none other than Nigel" she croaked, "The bonus is Months!"
The Sword of Bonus shattered into a thousand pieces.
As they walked away from the castle, Admin stopped to read a warning that was posted on the gate. It simply read;

Epic write up as per usual. I do not know how you come up with this stuff but it is pure brilliance. Love it.
We had a storming debut from @Jophanie (who seemed to tail off after the wine arrived) and a brave bash by @Pearls , who definitely could never be forgotten
