Slum Dwarf Millionaire

Who:- Jay, Dean, Jay's mum, miscellaneous Dwarfers
Where:- In a heavily wooded part of Sherwood Forest
When:- Nightfall, a few hours after Jay sent everyone on their various quests.
"I don't see anything!" Dean whined. "And I'm cold. And hungry. And what's worse, there is nowhere in this time period where I can get a toastie!"
"Dean shut the smeg up!" Jay snapped, "I'm trying to think!" Jay was crouched on the ground studying a map on the screen of the datapad Rosette had given him earlier, he held his torch closer to the pad, bathing it in flickering firelight, and prodded at the touchscreen. "You're more than welcome to sod off and salvage your toastie maker from the `Dwarf's crash site…which, by the way is exactly the reason I never used to let you park the ship in orbit when I was CNO!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're not exactly renowned for your ability to keep spaceships in space…"
"Hey! YOU crashed into the ocean once!"
"I LANDED it in the Ocean! And it stayed intact! You on the other hand went through our entire years quote of replacement Starbugs in one afternoon! And you were only trying reverse off the landing pad!"
"Now, now boys, no need to bicker!" Jay's mother interjected. "That's not going to get any jobs done is it!"
"Mum…didn't I ask you to stay back at camp where it's safe?"
"Yes, you did, and I don't appreciate you telling your own mother what to do!"
"I'm the captain!" Jay snapped "If I don't tell the people on my ship what to do they die!!"
"I'm sure they're not that silly dear."
"Sorry, have you met Dean?"
"Hey I object to…." Dean never got to finish his sentence, because he was interrupted by a security officer trotting over from the riverbank.
"Captain, we think we've found it!"
"Excellent, lead the way!" Jay replied
"Where are your manners Jay?" interrupted Mrs Chrysler "You forgot to say please! Honestly, what kind of example will you be for your nephew behaving like this…..wait…where are you going?"
Jay and Dean had already disappeared over the verge toward the water's edge, prompting Jay's mum to run after them.
When she caught up, they were standing on the riverbank, facing a tall, cascading waterfall.
The security officer was pointing to the falling water.
"Behind there!" he said loudly, to be heard above the flow.
"Nice work. EVERYONE! FALL IN!!"
Jay and Dean, lead the way through the waterfall, which of course extinguished their torches, leaving the only source of light in the surrounding area of the forest to be the dim moonlight shining through the trees, on the other side of the curtain of water however, were several, much drier but unlit torches on the walls of a concealed cave, Jay nodded to a nearby science officer who used his lighter to light the first few.
"Guess this must be the place.." Dean said. "What do you think we have to do?"
"Dunno.." said Jay "Lets just make our way into the cave and see what we find…Dean, <any other Player characters who want to join Jay's team>, Ramirez, Stocker and Jones you're with me, the rest of you hang back here…INCLUDING YOU MOTHER!""
"Do be careful dear" Jay's mum said, standing back at the cave entrance "Don't get your clothes all muddy!"
Inside the cave was a winding network of naturally formed rocky corridors. Several more passages came off from junctions in the rock face.
"How do we know we're going the right way?" Lt, Jones asked, after several long minutes of exploring.
"Truthfully.." Jay replied "We don't….trial and error I guess…"
"Oh I think we're going the right way…" Dean said
"What makes you so sure?"
"That.."
Jay caught up to Dean, who stood at the entrance to a large round chamber, in the centre of which stood a familiar looking machine…
"Is that…is that the QUIZ MACHINE? From Parrotts?" Jay asked.
"Sure ain't no toastie maker…"
Jay walked up to the machine, it wasn't plugged in to anything but yet the screen still displayed a message "$£1 per game"
Jay and Dean looked at each other and smirked. This was going to be easier than they thought..
Jay slotted a coin into the slot….
*half an hour later*
"What was the name of the Zero Gee footballer who scored the winning goal for Neptune in three consecutive Solar System cup wins?" Jay read from the screen.
"Jimmy McNugget…" Dean said "It was definitely Jimmy McNugget…"
"No…" Jay said "I don't think it was…"
"It was! It definitely was!!"
"Are you sure?" Jay said "I thought he played for Mercury?"
"He did, he was born on Mercury, but his parents were Neptunian, he could play for both, so he did…"
"If you're wrong, we're stuck here, you realise this?"
"If I wasn't 100% certain I wouldn't say!"
"I dunno…I thought it was Freddy Ferguson"
"It was Mcnugget! Think I'd risk being stuck in a world without Toasties for the rest of my life?"
"No..but Dean, to be fair you ARE an idiot…"
"IT WAS MCNUGGET!"
"you're really that sure?"
"Yes!"
"Positive?"
"Yes."
"Good." Jay touched the screen selecting Freddy Ferguson as his answer.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING! It's MCNUGGET!!"
The screen flashed up the word "Correct"
"Oh…well, whaddya know.." Dean said.
"I knew if you were that adamant about anything you were probably wrong…" Jay said.
"Fine. Next question" Dean said in a huff.
"Last question…Celebrity Gossip or Food and Drink….?" Asked Jay.
"Celebrity Gossip was Phil's specialist subject" Dean replied "We can't risk it without him here…"
"Fair point..food and drink it is…" a bead of sweat trickled down Jay's forehead as he touched the screen.
"What is the name for a type of sandwich grill…...."
Jay didn't finish reading the question. Dean's hand was in and out like a lightning bolt, touching his answer on the screen. The answer was "Toastie"
The screen display changed.
"CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! YOUR'E A WINNER!!!!"
"We won!" Dean said
"We won!" Jay said
"WE WON!" they said together
"We're going home!" Jay said happily
The screen changed again.
"Proceed to test 2"
"What the smeg?! There's more?!" The two men said in unison….
<Tag anyone else in Jay's party! What's the next task?>
