TSATF 20th -Jim Pitts
The sleepy village of Umbangomango swelters in the humid heat of an African
summer. The peaceful villagers go about their daily tasks farming, cooking,
washing, herding their livestock unaware that fate has a cruel twist in mind
for them. Somehow word has been passed back to the territorial administrators
that Umbangomango is a hotbed of insurrectionists, intent on destabilizing the
British rule in the Colony of Lower Bongowongo. A punitive expedition,
commanded by Captain Smedley Bryce-Hopkins, is even now on its way to punish
these wayward heathens. Chief Lolomango and his sleepy village appear to be the
flock of sheep as the government wolf descends upon them. But are the villagers
a flock of defenseless sheep? Rumors have been heard around the bush telegraph
that Chief Lolomango has sworn fealty to a mysterious woman warrior known as the
Great Mamubaba. She is supposedly leading a large army to aid Lolomango in
overpowering the government forces. But there are others wandering around the
African bush -- Reis Fattafi and his Zanzabari slavers; Thugzi and his Ruga-Ruga
raiders; Allan Haggard, the Great White Hunter; and Larabebe, the mighty
warrior. Will all of them meet on the road to Umbangomango? Join us and see!
