Conan The Barbarian: The Ten Word Game

[Jal Dorak]

carved a spear out of his Slurpy straw and lunged.

[Aberzombie]

He missed stabbing Thulsa Doom by a scant millimeter, so

[Jal Dorak]

he got bored and walked to look for high adventure.

[Aberzombie]

Feeling abandoned by Conan's departure, Thoth Amon decided that he

[Kirth Gersen]

and Sonja might as well get some action going, with

[Jal Dorak]

a game of blackjack, which of course required journeying to

[Kirth Gersen]

the fabled desert city of Vay-Gasz, located deep in the

[Jal Dorak]

realm of the dread enchantress El-Falash, a creature of

[Aberzombie]

delectably delightful dancing skills who also happened to serve a

[Kirth Gersen]

tangy salsa, the likes of which was unknown in Stygia

[Aberzombie]

but common in Aquilonia. Indeed, her salsa had been awarded

[Jal Dorak]

an ENnie award for "Best New Salsa Based on a

[Kirth Gersen]

Computer-Based Role-Playing Game or Comic Book Movie"

[Vattnisse]

The competition had been fierce - amongst others, ThunderCats, Swamp Thing

[Heathansson]

Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, My Favorite Sleestak, Three's Company,

[Jal Dorak]

and even Conan's own Hyperborea Adventures, which many suspect was

[Kirth Gersen]

the work of Vincent Darlage, a priest of Set who

[Aberzombie]

enjoyed spicy foods and a great deal of kitchen talent.

[Jal Dorak]

While crossing the road, Thoth-Amon was hit by a

[seekerofshadowlight]

Naked Barbarian singing show tunes baddly,while swinging his big

[Jal Dorak]

jar of salsa purchased recently from the shady street vendor.

[Tensor]

Blessed with the spine of an Axeman he shook off

[Aberzombie]

the monkey on his back and continued his journey to

[Kirth Gersen]

Vay-Gasz, where the flashing diamonds beckon those who lust

[Jal Dorak]

for the enticing lure of boundless mortal power...and salsa.

[Aberzombie]

Across the Black River, the picts were getting restless. They

[Kirth Gersen]

tired of throwing craps in alleys, and wanted a taste

[Aberzombie]

of something new, something like Blackjack, or maybe Roulette. They

[Kirth Gersen]

felt, as blatant Amerindian ripoffs, they should build Casinos of

[Aberzombie]

Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. They'd hire The Trump to run

[Jal Dorak]

around in circles while they hurled banana-cream pies at

[Kirth Gersen]

people and yelled "You're Fired!", while raking in obscene profits.

[Jal Dorak]

Needless to say, but Sonja found it a silly place.

[Aberzombie]

However, when Sonja discovered the slot machines, things changed rapidly.

[Jal Dorak]

Within minutes of their arrival, penguins attacked the casino mercilessly

[Aberzombie]

in order to quench their thirst for risky propositions. These

[Jal Dorak]

stalwart comrades from lands apart strode forward into the restless

[Aberzombie]

den of iniquity, thrashing all they saw to within centimeters

[Jal Dorak]

of their pathetic, soulless existences. They then proceeded to investigate

[Aberzombie]

a disturbance in a supposedly haunted tower. People had reported

[Jal Dorak]

the haunted tower was suspected by people of being haunted.

[Digitalelf]

But these so called "hauntings" were actually a gang of

[Jal Dorak]

meddling kids who had set out to solve mysteries in

[Aberzombie]

accordance with ancient rituals of worship normally reserved for use

[Digitalelf]

by really nasty tentacled monstrosities that make even Conan think

[Aberzombie]

twice about venturing into a ruined city hidden away in

[doppelganger]

the bowels of the earth. Conan, of course, was not

[Jal Dorak]

in the habit of adventuring without getting drunk first, so

[Aberzombie]

he grabbed a flagon of cheap wine, the nearest wench,

[Jal Dorak]

and a bucket of KFC, and then he went to
