The Muppets In Oz: RPG (Summer 2005)

[Fozzie Bear]

Rizzo falls out of the knapsack and lands right next to the trap door Rizzo:Hey guys look at this (I pick 1 by the way)

Alas! Nobody said there was a trap door!!
However, upon inspection, there beneath the carpet was a trap door...and it couldn't have been found at a better time for, as they cleared the door, Fozzie peeked outside through a sliver in the wall and saw...

HEY! THERE'S A DRAGON OUT YONDER ABOUT TO BLOW FIRE! RUN!!

And, with Rizzo throwing open the trap door, all the Muppets dove in and found themselves skidding across a smooth, slide-like floor of a tunnel--deeper and deeper they rode into the earth of Oz, seeing many other tunnel holes as down they went until...

PLOP!

They fell into an open cavern. All around them they saw the marks of scratches and claw marks of something that had been there many, many years ago. There was no inidication where they were, if they were even still near Oz...but, having been to a Fraggle Cave before they knew that this certainly was no Fraggle Cave, and there were no Fraggles nearby, either (which was their other indication).

1-Down one cave there was a light, reddish-yellow in color, shining from around the bend; 2-down another cave they heard rushing water; 3-and yet another cave was dark as night, but from which there was no light or sound. Which way do they go? Next post answers.

Keep in mind our friend the Giant, we were prejudiced against him even though in reality he would have been a huge help--so things in Oz MAY not be what they seem...or are they?

Well, my fellows. I hear what may be water!! Let us go onward to the sound of trickling water. I know we cannot see, but if we sing I feel it may help paint a mental picture of the correct direction!! Altogether now....

*sings Material Girl*
Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me- I think they're OK. Fabulous!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Okay! Onward to the water and to find our way to the Emerald City Palace!!

The Muppets began walking down the cave toward the running water and soon they found an underground river. There was little space beside it to walk, but what appeared to be a little boat carved from a tree floated near them and was tied to a rock. The river was deep enough that you couldn't really see the bottom, and it was still and quiet, but the water was flowing in one direction, so the Muppets hopped into the boat and began riding the underground river wherever it would take them.

This is nice! I like this. It's like the ride at the fair where you ride the boat through the little tunnel...except there, there's monsters and...stuff...and...you don't think anything will happen in this river do you?

Do you?

Naaahhh...it's too still of water for something to be going on.

Don't worry Fozzie, I'm sure there's nothing harmful in this water. Maybe a couple of dogfish, but I can take care of those. I must say this a relaxing ride.

Maybe there are pirahanas! Hold on I'll check! *Jumps in* Weee!!! This is painful!*gets back in boat* Ha ha ha that was awesome!

FISH! *grabs a fish and eats it* URP! Excuse me.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Hey...I hear water rushing somewhere. Maybe it's another nice waterfall like the one we saw before?

Not really. The Muppets found the boat was picking up speed, and then noticed rapids along the sides of the boat.

Woooaahhhahahaha!!

The bottom of the boat was being bumped by rocks when suddenly, and without much warning, the boat seemed to be jettisoned through the middle of the underground river as the rapids got faster and faster...sending the Muppets on a wild water ride!

MOOOMMMEEEEEEEE!!

 

[redBoobergurl]

Whoa! This is like some major white water rapids! Hold on to your hats!

 

[TogetherAgain]

But I don't have a hat! <grabs onto Rowlf's fur>

...am a Material Girl. Oh my, this water would seem to be a bit choppy. How unfortunate. If only my wings worked!!
