Lords of the Ring


Episode V11

Drawing on the Dark Power of the Ring began to have a terrible effect on our intrepid heroes. Both Billygo Baggage and Legless were beginning to mutter gibberish…indeed the Ring began to fill them with doubt as they seemed to turn against themselves and their very natures…

One voice mumbled over and over… ‘Billygo….Billygo…when will Billy Go…Will Billy ever Go….?????;

And the voice of our other hero began to have a sharp edge as he repeated incessantly ‘I want to get Legless’……’I want to get Legless’…..wheresthefekkinpub’…..



Missus (on tea & Time Outs now...)

Lords of The Ring...things get harder.

Episode V111

The faithful leprechauns (known fondly in some shires as jakeens) began to follow the Heroes closely …Their great fears were being realised as the Heroes began to tear their garments cast off their helmets and throw valuable artefacts into the raging torrent…

Gone were the comforting skins, the daggers, the flaming torches…even valuable foodstuffs (nourishing curlywurlies). All were discarded as Billygo and Legless were consumed with desire for possession of the Ring…

Unknown to them, all items were being carefully collected from the mighty waters by the Fruityfish a very fast (but not the fastest ALL the time) two headed creature that seemed half -cat half –chef. Never one to waste a thing this nimble but fragile creature was no doubt going to squirrel away the items for a forthcoming car boot (cream tea supplied as standard) sale... ( in Devon’s Shires).


Helplessly the leprechauns tagged along in the wake watching the faces of their beloved friends take on a harder aspect now…less aware of those around them.
Indeed Billygo and Legless seemed to withdraw completely seeming interested only in moving faster and faster as they became possessed by the Dark Power…

Lords of The Ring

Episode 1X

They were in a safer place now . Though still in possession of the Ring which they glanced at over and over…Legless and Billygo were moving slower as if in need of rest. The trusty little leprechauns (Jaxo and Damissis) were relieved at this as they were unsure how much longer they could go on. They passed as a group under cavernous arches into a settlement where Middle Solent Dwellers coexisted peacefully…each in their own section of this safe haven. There were lights too and for a second Jaxo and Damissis caught sight of their friends’ faces. Horrified they realised that both were changed beyond recognition …transfigured no doubt by the ever strengthening lure of the DARK SIDE…

(...faraway music seems to be playing...'Scream if you want to go faster'.... )

Reproduced from an original designed for Ribnet

This is how Legless and Billygo normally set off on journeys.
As you can see...well armed for every eventuality
(Cartoon by professional cartoonist Sue (Timboli on RIBNET) who has given permission for it to be used by me on Boatmad.)
BTW isn't it amazing?

Lords of the Ring

Episode X

The sweet little leprechauns had to think fast…
Mumbling Private Magic syllables (PMs) in an olden language ('Pog Mo Thon…Pog Mo Thon….Pog Mo Thon' and using the PM system) they summoned up the Amp Master (renowned for his prowess in harnessing and controlling power on the Dark Side) and the Wizard Tenfoot (famed for his ability to transport heavy loads- of data- safely and for his wisdom as a Tenfoot Ruler) .

In a flash the giants were there lighting up the night with their reddish hair…
‘WHAT IS IT YOU WANT FEKKIN LEPRECHAUNS? ‘they bellowed…
(fekkin being a term of endearment in the leprechauns homeland. The Wise Ones would know this.)
‘IT HAD BETTER BE IMPORTANT. WE GET FAR TOO MANY PMS FROM EEJITS LIKE YERSELVES’…

Lords of The Ring. The gods intervene .

Episode X1

Quaking in fear the leprechauns pointed at Billygo and Legless who were nearing their destination …
‘They have a Ring’ Damissis said (getting straight to the point for once ; nearly said something else but thought better of it cackle cackle).

(Actually what she really wanted to say was could you drop by in the morning and help Jaxo fit a nav light switch but she knew better).

Quickly the gods sizered up the situation. There was no way Billygo and Legless could cope with the Ring’s Dark Power.
There was only one thing to do…………
Upgrading to one voice Amp and Tenfoot roared at the hapless figures still insulated a little with their protective air bladders but blinded by the Dark Power of the Ring…


'HALT !!!!'
