Bartholomule went to visit N2P2C2 to ask about a problem with PnF software. But to his horror, the robot's house was full of bugs. BUGS! The thing N2P2C2 most hates!
"I feel outmoded," said N2P2C2. "I must either get an upgrade, or the developers will leave me to rust in pieces."
"Don't you mean 'rest in peace'?" asked Bartholomule.
"I meant what I said," the robot replied.
Bartholomule thought for a bit, then said, "follow me, I've got an idea!"
While following the magic beans, you met Barnaby.
Bartholomule shook paws with Barnaby the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
"I found this trail of magic beans earlier today," said Bartholomule. "Magic beans must lead to somewhere magical, where someone can conjure you an upgrade!"
"Does not compute," replied N2P2C2.
"Have you got any better options?" asked Bartholomule. The lights on N2P2C2's body flickered furiously, but he made no reply. "Then I guess you'd better follow me!" said Bartholomule.
While following the magic beans, you met Frosty.
Bartholomule shook paws with Frosty the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
Frosty gave you 2 "Birth of Cosmos (Magic Bean)" size 7
The trail continued over the horizon in both directions. "My randomiser says we should go left," said N2P2C2.
"My left or your left?" asked Bartholomule, turning to face the robot.
N2P2C2 bleeped again. "The randomiser says 'your left'."
Bartholomule was about to set out, then paused. "My left before or after I turned round?" he asked. N2P2C2 decided it was better to move than get Bartholomule even more confused, so he set off, and soon they were in a truly weird landscape neither of them had ever seen before.
While following the magic beans, you met Alex.
Bartholomule shook paws with Alex the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
Eventually the trail led to a beach, where they found Billy. "I've been invited to the Oscars!" he said excitedly. Then he stopped prancing and looked crestfallen. "The trouble is, I don't know the way."
"Are the Oscars magical?" asked Bartholomule. "Kinda," said Billy. "Then follow us!" said Bartholomule. "The magic beans know the way!"
While following the magic beans, you met Treasure.
Bartholomule shook paws with Treasure the Afghan Hound. They both received one silver mole!
Bartholomule, N2P2C2 and Billy followed the beans. "Did you try any other routes to the Oscars first?" N2P2C2 asked Billy.
"When I was spawned, Mother said all you had to do to get to big events was follow the crowd, so I did," Billy replied. "But I ended up in Walmart, so I went home."
"There are some very big webs over there," said Bartholomule. "And the beans are headed that way."
While following the magic beans, you met Mr. Panda.
Bartholomule shook paws with Mr. Panda the Panda Cub. They both received one silver mole!
It was no great surprise to find Boris lurking in the giant webs, but he found them just as daunting as everyone else did. "I don't know where these came from," said Boris. "They seem to go right round the world. I would love to follow them wherever they lead, but I am too small. I keep dropping through the gaps. I wish I was bigger, then it would be easy."
"Come with us!" said Billy. "There's magic at the end of the bean trail!"
While following the magic beans, you met NightGhost.
Bartholomule shook paws with NightGhost the Screech Owl. They both received one silver mole!
The landscape became more pleasant. The group met some other travellers coming the other way.
"Lion - scarecrow - robot - girl - dog," said N2P2C2. "Does not compute."
"Try 'tin man'," said Bartholomule.
The other group was also looking for magical help. The two groups agreed to carry on in the same direction. Surely one group would find something at the end of the trail of beans!
While following the magic beans, you met Moo.
Bartholomule shook paws with Moo the Brown Rustic Rabbit. They both received one silver mole!
The journey would have been more fun if Billy had not been so darned excited. "A starfish at the Oscars!" he said. "Stars and starfish are natural companions!"
"Have you thought of living in the sky?" asked Boris.
While following the magic beans, you met Owen.
Bartholomule shook paws with Owen the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
Before they could leave, a badger arrived. "Looking for magic?" he asked. "You must be barmy. Sky Trolls live at the top of that beanstalk. You won't last fifteen minutes if you go up there."
"My 15 minutes of fame!" shouted Billy. He began to climb the beanstalk as fast as he could.
While following the magic beans, you met Tallulah.
Bartholomule shook paws with Tallulah the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
Tallulah and you found 5 "Beanstalk Axe GUC only 3 notches" size 4.
At the top of the beanstalk they met a fox'maid. She frowned. "I am the Good Witch. I was expecting a group led by a girl with a dog," she said.
"Where are the Sky Trolls?" asked Bartholomule, who wanted to avoid them.
"On the far side of this cloud," replied the Good Witch. Before Bartholomule could stop them, Billy, Boris and N2P2C2 had set out as fast as they could.
While following the magic beans, you met Crusher the Abominable Sonoman.
Bartholomule shook paws with Crusher the Abominable Sonoman the Yeti. They both received one silver mole!
Crusher the Abominable Sonoman gave you 1 "Beanstalk in the Clouds"
The cloud was very slippery and coloured by the sunlight. "Follow the yellow slick road!", shouted Billy, who was clearly losing it.
"Castle ahead. SKY TROLLS. Hello? Are none of you scared?" shouted Bartholomule. But the others were determined to reach the castle. Bartholomule went with them. "You need people of intelligence on this sort of Mission ... Quest ... Thing!” he puffed, struggling to keep up.
While following the magic beans, you met Hermione.
Bartholomule shook paws with Hermione the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
Hermione and you found 5 "Fairytale Candlestick" size 4.
Running from the goose, they lost their way. The next thing they knew, they ran into a witch cat with a lot of food. "Aren't you the Wicked Witch of the West?" asked Bartholomule. "No, I work for GrubHub," she said. "I was able to fly all this food up here, but now I'm knackered. If you help me deliver it to the castle, you can have my tip."
While following the magic beans, you met snuggle.
Bartholomule shook paws with snuggle the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
"I have travelled far to get magical help," said Billy. "No can do," said the Troll. "I want magic too," said Boris, turning to the witch. "Well don't look at me," she said. "I've got food to deliver." "You have a wand. Does not compute that you cannot do magic," scowled N2P2C2.
"Now you're talking!" said the Troll. "I don't do 'magic'. I can only grant three wishes, no more, no less!"
While following the magic beans, you met Bonny.
Bartholomule shook paws with Bonny the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
"I was invited to the Oscars, but I couldn't find the way when I followed the crowd", said Billy. "Nobody watches them any more, that's why," said the troll. "Think again."
"Then I want to be a star instead of a starfish!" said Billy.
"Easy," said the Troll, and turned Billy into a sloth. "There's lots of jobs for sloths in Hollywood these days. Go and talk to my two guests about it."
While following the magic beans, you met Ms Stinkerbelle.
Bartholomule shook paws with Ms Stinkerbelle the Baby Skunk. They both received one silver mole!
Ms Stinkerbelle and you found 5 "Leaf Cradle" size 4.
Outside the castle was an ENORMOUS Sky Troll. The witch cat was scared to death and flew away at once to deliver ice cream to eskimos.
"Will you be looking after the baby?" asked Bartholomule, trembling.
"No, I AM the baby," explained the Troll. "When daddy gets smaller, I get bigger. Now I get the wand. I need to shrink! It will be years before I grant enough wishes to get inside the castle again. Would you like to stay here and take care of daddy?"
Bartholomule had to admit this was a better home than any he had lived in before. So he agreed.
While following the magic beans, you met Smoki.
Bartholomule shook paws with Smoki the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Billy, Boris and N2P2C2 left, their hearts at ease.
"Where did that witch cat go?" asked the Troll. "She's gone without her tip."
"She said we could have it for helping her," said Bartholomule.
"Well you're the only one here who has made nothing out of this adventure, so I'll give it to you," said the Troll. Bartholomule had to jump about to dodge the rain of gold coins that the Troll dropped from far above his head! Bartholomule has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also take part!
While following the magic beans, you met Bluey~*.
Bartholomule shook paws with Bluey~* the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
