Go Shopping, you'll probably need better gear to help you kill Dracula. Seducing the Dragon still seems like a good idea, though,

Bah, you don't need anyone's help when it comes to killing stuff! You are a Brave Man and you've got the Sword of Legend, Boots of Legend, and Armor of Legend! You could probably stand to get some more Hearts, something for your head, or some weird miscellaneous magic, you know, just to be extra sure, but you don't need some monster helping you kill some other monster!

>>449509

Why that's just silly! You are entirely too Lawful Good to even consider such a thing!

Besides which. Dragons traditionally go for princesses, and Dracula's into victorian babes. Neither would be very interested in a Brave Man. Or vice-versa.

>>449511

Yes. Might as well see what they have while we're here at least!

Let's see... as shops tend do do, they have two shelves, each holding 2 items, in a nice little 2x2 grid. Oh, one seems to be out of stock. Otherwise, we have...

A girdle.

A helmet.

A spooky wooden mask.

He's being pretty coy about explaining what they all do, and you only have enough cash for one. You can probably come back and buy the others later though. Monsters drop cash all the time. And it's not like the shop is going to mysteriously vanish after you leave or something.

>>449515
Go with the wooden mask. Intimidation and probably magic, ho!

>>449517

Seeing as you're in perfect physical shape, and hate the way people can't see your hair in a helmet, this seems quite reasonable! You purchase the mask and try it on to see how it looks-

>"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The mask fuses itself to your face! Freaky wooden tendrils wrap down your body, shrinking you and twisting your form into some sort of freaky little plant monster! It also seems to have somehow absorbed all your equipment! Technically you'd seem to be flat out naked in fact! Although, being a plant, there isn't really any cause for modesty.

Your mouth no longer really seems to actually be the sort of thing that allows for speech, but the mysterious old man seems to get the gist of what you're saying.

> "Don't be alarmed. You'll change back to normal as soon as you take it off."

You struggle, clawing at your new face in an attempt to remove it.

> "Unless that mask has never been used before... then they tend to stick until the wearer defeats a powerful monster. But you're in luck on that front! Did you hear there's both a dragon and a vampire plaguing this town?"

Right then. Kill one of them, the mask comes off, back to your regular self. In the meantime, while you now seem capable of planting yourself, spitting seeds and photosynthesizing, you have no money or equipment. This might make your quest a bit more difficult, but you can still manage. Probably.

>>449521

>>449522

An excellent point!

Somewhat awkward in your new form, you none-the-less set out towards Dracula's castle, determined to put an end to his evil and restore your true form! The journey is long and perilous, but frankly with your new lightweight form helping to carry you safely across any gaps in the floor, and your ability to slay enemies at range, you have a fairly easy time of it. Sadly, none seem to drop any money, although you do find a fair bit of gold stashed away in false walls and candelabras.

Eventually, you face off with dracula himself, spitting seed after seed into his face. It does strike you that this is a rather bizarre means of doing battle, and if you are not somehow casting out what are technically your children in hopes of impaling unholy fiends. Eventually, you opt not to spend too much time dwelling on the point, as it seems quite creepy. Additionally, you are indeed able to bring Dracula lo, causing your mask to recede and fall away!

Realizing that these vampire types are prone to returning from the dead, you go the extra mile to hack out some of the choicer bits of his corpse, hurling them out windows in different directions. As you do so however, you feel a strange chill, as if something has gone very wrong. Returning to town in hopes of finding an inn to rest at you instead find it to be swarming with zombies!

What now?

Bite zombies to infect them with human-ness.

>>449528
Nice going, Simon. You are bad at your job.

Go seduce the dragon. Have her help you gather up Dracula's body parts so you can bring him back and kill him again.

Put the plant mask back on. Zombies don't give a shit about plants.

First go to the springs with poles, ask the guide for the Drowned Girl Spring, take a dunk. then approach the dragon with a seduction attempt.

Also, consider that you may have simply been cursed so that you see others as zombies, and not that the entire town was taken over by zombies in the time it took for you to take out Dracula.

>>449536

Aha! Good thinking! Wearing this, they seem to just be milling about not paying you any particular attention!

>>449540

Oh hey! That's a horrible thought! You attempt to make your way inside a building to study them more safely. It's... occupied by people who refuse to let you in. Probably just zombies then.

>>449531

That's just crazy enough to work! I mean, it doesn't work. Not at all. And zombies taste incredibly disgusting, and now you really need to go rinse your mouth out, but it was worth a shot.

Also, huh. They aren't paying you a lot of attention without the mask either. They're all just kinda dancing through the streets, only really attacking if you're in their eye line. Also? Total wimps.

Still, not being able to get a good night's sleep along the way and dealing with the annoyance of all these zombies all over makes you a little less confident in your eventual success here.

>>449533

Stitching Dracula back together and killing him again is also just crazy enough to work, but it's also something that might take you a while. Getting the dragon to help out is honestly not even an option on the table. Far as you know, both you and the dragon are strictly hetero manly dudes. Also, different species. Also, you're sworn to kill it.

>>449537

Oh well now you're just talking crazy. I mean, heading to the springs is a pretty good idea. Hopping around on poles is better training than hacking away at these totally pathetic zombies, and you'd really rather get some kind of rest before you really hit the road again. The rest of that is just crazy nonsense though.

Now, the question is, do you want to train yourself up as your regular Brave Man self, really work on those tricky jumping skills you'll probably need to get through the dragon's castle, or are you going to stick the mask back on, get used to the balance of your plant thing form, and take pot shots at zombies from up a pole?

Totally the second one. Not only do you get to practice with your new form, but you get to compensate for firing while on the top of a tall pole.
And you might be able to multi-task and grab some photosynthesis while you're up there.

Well, that's hard to manage in the middle of the night, but yeah! Creepy though the concept may be, you totally could just plant yourself here in the morning, draw in light and water, and avoid the hassle of spending all that cash on food and a place to sleep! Aren't you the clever one! But first, the training!

Donning your mask (which you still can't help screaming over), you shimmy up a pole, and set about spending the entire night hopping from pole to pole, and spitting seeds at zombies as you land. It's quite the vigorous workout, particularly having been up for around 24 hours straight with all that Dracula killing business! As the light of day dawns, the zombies bury themselves underground and the townsfolk begin to emerge once again. You have reached Deku Scrub Lvl. 1! The leaves on your head now give lift, letting you jump further!

... which of course causes you to miss your next pole, and plunge into the water below. You emerge, sputtering, to find the local guide delivering some hasty exposion.

> "Is very bad to fall in spring! There very tragic legend of young girl who drown in spring 1500 year ago! Now whoever fall in take body of young girl! Is very cursed spring!"

Well that's certainly worth another scream.

A good, an incurable curse. Get dressed, and lets head to the Dragon.

>>449676
Ok. Now will you FINALLY go seduce the dragon already?

...can you stack curses? So you have the choice of being a deku girl or a human girl?

Yes. Do it.

>>449697

You don't see an reason why you couldn't! If you had your mask on hand (or a similar one), putting it on while a girl would probably turn your Young Girl form into a Deku Scrub. Unfortunately, you were wearing it at the time, so instead what seems to have happened is you turned your Deku Scrub form into a Young Girl.

>>449682

Yeah... about that.

Before beginning your training, you were wearing all your Legend gear, and carrying around your Deku Mask. When you put the mask on, as before, it just kinda grew all over you, overwriting your whole body and everything you were wearing with the form of a little Deku Scrub, leaving you only with your gold and hearts, with all your actual equipment "left under the mask" as it were. While normally this would be quite convenient, as it doesn't fit your Deku form and saves you from having to lug it around, having been cursed into this young girl form, you can't find any mask seems to tug on and remove it.

These nested curses sure are weird like that! It'd probably get even more complicated if anything else put a curse on you. Fortunately the odds of that have to be like, practically nil.

Anyway, the practical upshot of all this is that you're currently a naked girl sitting in a spring, with nothing to wear and no awesome sword to go kill dragons with. Unless you're willing to just run around naked punching things, you're not in any shape to be fighting a dragon.

On the upside, you do have your gold and hearts still, and people are milling about in town again, so you could probably go buy some crummy equipment, and still have enough to rent a room and get some sleep, maybe buy some food when you get up. Shame you can't do that plant yourself thing as is.

... all that assuming the people in town aren't just going to arrest you for public nudity. Yeah, you should probably find something to cover up with or something.

>>449690

Admittedly, this plan is slightly more reasonable than it was last night, but setting aside the matter of your Manly Dignity, you'd have to get to the dragon first, and there's a whole castle full of monsters to slog through first.

>>449698

Well you certainly hope there is! None come to mind though, but you suppose you could ask around. But again, naked. Awkward. For that matter, that guide's still kinda staring at you.

>can't do the seduction plan because there are monster in the way.
You could skip directly to the boss by letting yourself get kidnapped. You're a naked girl. Isn't that what dragons do, kidnap girls?

>>449708

Speaking in purely hypothetical terms, if the dragon were to see you in your current state, he might find you attractive, in which case it's possible he might drag you back to his lair to have his way with you.

This would pretty much be the worst possible situation for you however. You are still completely unsuited for dragon slaying as you currently are. At best, you'd be locked up in some castle having to wait for some other hero to come rescue you. At worst... you'd get eaten and/or raped by a dragon, and you really don't have any desire to see either of those outcomes.

Instead, you wait for the guide to stop trying to get a peak at your goods, and climb up the top of one of these poles to survey the area, and see if anyone has any freshly washed clothes you could maybe swipe. You feel a bit embarrassed up there, but you doubt anyone's going to be looking. Most people seem to head back inside around this time of day after all, because this is about when that dragon flies over looking for fresh victims.

Wait...

OH **** OH **** OH ****! The dragon spots you at the top of the pole as he flies over, swooping down to grab you in his massive talons and fly you back to his castle! You are completely helpless as he hauls you through a window into his lairing chamber and... BY ALL THE GODS! He... he just starts ****ing your ****s and pawing at your ****! And then he takes his **** and sticks it in your **** and just ****s and ****s and ****s all over your **** and then flips you over to **** your **** and **** your **** before he finally ****s and leaves you a disheveled sobbing heap in the corner! It's all just excessively painful and humiliating quite traumatic!

As the dragon turns to leave, he points at a nearby room full of sparkling tile and metal pipes, before, surprisingly, speaking!

> "Go clean yourself up dollface. Round 2 starts when I get back!"

On the upside, wandering into said room, and fiddling with the various random knobs within, you discover that one causes hot water to stream from some fanciful grated tube mounted in the wall, not unlike a watering can! This in turn has three effects.

1- It washes away the physical evidence of recent events, although the mental trauma will be with you forever.

2- It undoes your most recent transformation, changing you back into your Deku Scrub form, with removeable mask!

3- Now finding yourself in said form, you are able to absorb some of the water through your root-like feet. This is honestly a bit creepy, but it alleviates that whole not getting to eat situation, and it's still a step up.

Well... if you ignore the bit you're currently doing your darnedest to repress, this seems to have worked out to some degree! You're all set now to ambush that dragon in the form of your choosing! And this time, it's personal!

Ambush him in the young girl form, he'll never expect it!

Take off the mask, take off your sword and armor, put the mask back on. Fiddle with the dials until you have cold water then requip the sword and wait for the dragon to return.

Vengeance is nigh!

Yeah... you could easily show that dragon what for as your normal manly self, that's obvious. But with what he just put you through, no way. You need to throw some payback in with the humiliation! He's gotta know just who it is that's killing him! That's way better for personal closure!

So first off, you yank that mask off, and also remove all your awesome equipment. Then, you put the mask back on. Finally, you step back into the little alcove with the hot water, and fiddle around with the knobs some more. It's kind of a weird hunch, but you figure hey, maybe if hot water turned you back to normal, cold water will reactivate the curse. And wow, it does! So you put all your Legend stuff back on, which doesn't quite fit perfectly, but it fits well enough, and set yourself up to ambush you a dragon!

Sure enough, you get the drop on him when he comes flying back in with a cow to eat, and you start hacking away with the Sword of Legend! Weirdly enough, as you start carving chunks out of him, underneath there's some sort of like, crazy metal angular dragon, with glowing eyes that shoot out beams of light at you. Like the whole thing is made out of armor or something. Weird! Doesn't stop you from killing it though! You thrash it, slice bits off, and totally trash it, until there's just a sparking metal heap on the floor. And hey, how awesome is this? After a real big spark flies up, it starts raining cash down on you! Score! This day just really went and turned around! You take a moment to congratulate yourself.

And now the bad things happen some more.

And... then that "big spark" swoops down out of the air and collides with you, activating some kind of last dying breath curse from the... metal dragon that was disguised as a more traditional dragon. Look, just don't think too hard about it.

The practical upshot of course is that you find yourself afflicted with yet another curse. This one turning you into some kind of... lizard person. While this curse does nothing to your fancy equipment, it does bulk you up a bit, causing you to kinda rip your way out of it, and you wedged your sword into that corpse pretty well. On the plus side, as you scream in shock yet again, a little puff of flame comes forth, so, you have that going for you.

You are about to gather all your stuff back up to head back to town and think about how to handle this latest development, but suddenly, the whole place begins to shake and crumble! Apparently this was one of those Load Bearing dragons. Or something. You quickly flee, arriving at a nice scenic cliff outside of town from which to watch the castle collapse in on itself. Once again, you have nothing but your cash, hearts, and skin... but at least now that skin is all scaley. You can probably walk amongst normal folk again without too much embarrassment, if, you know, they're not terrified at the reptillian monster you've become.

I'm pretty sure your a female dragon-kin... who turns into a Deku-Scrub with the application of hot water... and upon pulling off your mask turning you back to normal.

drop stuff, put on mask, turn into girl. you now look like a normal human.

>>449783

Right... let's take a moment to catalog the various curses you've piled on so far, shall we?

1- Death-cursed by Dracula to... you don't know. Have to deal with lame zombies every night?

2- You put on this cursed mask that turns you into a plant... thing while you have it on. Easy to deal with, just take it off.

3- While wearing said mask, you fell into a spring which turns you into a girl when hit with cold water. Hot water turns you back to "normal" i.e. the plant thing, at which point you can take the mask off and be totally normal. You aren't sure if various temperatures of water do anything to you if the mask is off you when splashed.

4- The dragon you just killed, after putting on the mask (to be a plant), and then splashing yourself with cold water (to be a girl) also did some kind of death curse thing to you turn you into this lizard girl thing. You are not, as yet, aware of anything that will remove this particular curse, and are thus stuck with it for the time being. Being layered on top of the Girl curse, which was layered on top of the Mask curse, taking the mask off and returning to normal is not an option currently on the table. It's unknown whether you can currently use hot water to turn undo the girl curse, and whether that would bring you all the way back to the plant thing, or just leave you as a lizard man... or, lizard plant? The only ready source of hot water you had was that strange chamber in the dragon's castle, which is now a pile of rubble. You'd need to get some container of water and heat it up first (which your fire breath would probably be good for) in order to test it.

The most readily available source of water would be that cursed spring, but it would take a while to heat that up, and also it's a cursed spring. So... yeah. There's probably a well in town, but folks in town might think you're a horrible monster.

>>449784

All your stuff (besides cash and hearts) you had to abandon back in the castle, being in a hurry. The mask is... buried 2 curses down. If all you want is to be human again, you could try jumping into that spring again. It might not do anything, since you're kind of already under the effects, or it might once more turn you into a young human girl.

It definitely won't get you any clothing back though. That isn't even missing due to a curse. You just burst out of it and left in a hurry.

>>449786

You can't do that! Well... OK, presumably you could, but so far as you know, egg laying isn't something you can just decide to do. It's just something that kinda happens on its own. Plus, you'd need to eat something else first you're pretty sure. It would have to take more energy to lay an egg than you'd get back from eating it, right? And wouldn't that kinda be cannibalism? Or something like that?

Lack of sleep should probably be your bigger concern at the moment anyway.

So, to sum things up, the main choice before you seems to be whether you want to mess around with water (spring or well, hot or cold) to see just how stuck you are here, or whether you want to risk heading into town, try to buy some supplies, get something to wear, find a place to sleep, and plan your next move.

Alternatively, you could try living off the land or something, find a cave to sleep in, hunt wild animals, but that doesn't really seem like a long-term solution to anything.

Head back to town, see how they react to the new you. You can experiment with water in the Inn which hopefully has something to drink (which does contain water after all)

Okay, don't panic. Obviously there has to be a means to turn lizard form on and off, just like all the others.

The fire came from the metal dragon, right? Maybe there's something on or in it you can use to toggle lizardness.

If you can't figure it out, just head into town.

>>449878

Well... there tends to be some opposing type logic with these curses so far. Zombies come out at night, go away by day. Putting a mask on changes you, taking it off changes you back. Cold water changes you, hot changes you back. In this case, the last dying breath of a dragon cursed you so... the first living breath of a dragon might change you back? Like, one that just hatched or something maybe? This doesn't strike you as a particularly useful theory.

>>449861

Right. If they attack you, whatever, they're just random townsfolk who couldn't handle Dracula or a dragon. Not much to worry about.

You get quite a few stares walking into town, but nobody seems too disturbed. Swinging by the inn to rent a room you are reminded why. A significant portion of the population here is composed of, for lack of a better word, freaks. This may have something to do with all the potential sources for curses in the region. Anyway, you start explaining what happened, but he cuts you off.

> "Listen lady, I don't need your life story. 20 gold a night, meals included, and if yer planning to stay for another ya damn well better put sumfin' on foist!"

Seems more than reasonable enough to you! You experiment a bit, heating a glass of water and tossing it over your head, but it seems your current form can't be bothered to care about the specific mechanics of the curse under it. Fantastic.

One night of zombies pounding on the windows later, you're finally well-fed, well-rested, and generally able to think clearly. Asking the innkeeper if he knows anything about curse removal, he recommends a library on the far side of the forest. Seems as good a place as any to get started.

First though, you really should prepare yourself. They might not be so understanding out that way after-all. The local blacksmith should be able to hook you up with a new set of armor that actually fits, a general store where you can pick up some of the real basics, and there's still that spring training ground nearby if you'd like to mess around there a bit.

You have 480 gold to spend:

Padded armor- 300 gold
Short sword- 150 gold
Hide shield- 80 gold
Leather boots- 100 gold

Bucket- 30 gold
Tent- 100 gold
Bathrobe- 50 gold
Heart- 2000 gold

The mysterious old street vendor you got the mask from is nowhere to be found, and there is only a bare wall where his stall was located. Weird.

Well you need clothing, so might as well get the padded armor which hopefully comes with pants.

Less than reasonable? It's more than reasonable! The dragon's curse is that you have to lay the egg of the next dragon! Well, it's less a curse more of when he **** your **** full of ****. It just had a delayed effect. Thus, you can only be free by the first living breath of a dragon, i.e. your own child.

You've never seen a set of armor with pants included. The local style is more of a long frayed tunic. This suits you just fine however! As a Brave Man you appreciate having your legs free to help with difficult jumps, and as a lizard woman, this big ol' tail would get in the way besides!

>>449938

An odd thought strikes you out of the blue about the life cycle of dragons. Perhaps they always curse young women to take on lizardlike forms in death, forcing them to lay eggs containing new dragons before being turned back to normal, perpetuating their population even when slain!

You quickly shake your head, finding this notion far too creepy to contemplate. Besides, were that the case, you'd be basically in the clear. This curse would be undone, you could undo the water curse, remove the mask, and be totally curse free, save for the zombie thing. You doubt the universe is willing to let you off that easily.

Well then. You still have 180 gold if there's anything else you'd like to purchase, or you can get a move on to find that library.

Library ho!

Right! For now, you can breath fire, but once you shed the lizard curse, you'll need something to fight off wimpy monsters with.

>>450106

And that should do it. Through the woods with you! The journey is honestly fairly uneventful. A few spiders, some skeletons, some plant things, most seem to just be dropping hearts, which aren't in any short supply. You arrive shortly before nightfall, but the guards refuse to allow you entry, seeing as you look so monstrous and all.

As you ponder whether it's better to just fight your way in, or walk all the way back to the spring there, a smiling weirdo waves you over to the shade of a nearby tree. Turns out he has more of those masks for sale, and all he wants in exchange is hearts. You have about 105 at the moment, making it an appealing offer. Heck, you could grab any two of these really, three if you grabbed more hearts, but then the sun would go down, there'd be zombies all over, this guy probably won't stick around.

He seems to have a human, some kind of fox, a fish person, and some... fat brown onion face sort of thing. Only that first one seems like it would help you get in, but having a spare wouldn't hurt.

What's the plan?

The Keaton mask! Go for the Keaton mask! And the human mask too I guess.

Human would be useful right now. Can you ask the weirdo what the other masks are? Foxes occasionally have their own shapeshifting abilities, which could be helpful in the future.

Pikachu mask!
