You have received a letter.

Dear Sir/Madam,

As you probably know, our Fair Lady and Future Heir To The Throne, The Princess has been captured by the dark and terrible enemies of our fair Kingdom for some time now. In these dark times, it may appear as if hope is lost. This, however, is not the case. The oracles have determined that there is a chosen one who has the power to vanquish the dark forces that hold our Fair Lady and Future Heir To The Throne, The Princess captive, and save her. This man's name is Phillip Dollarfield, a nobleman of some renown. His skill and fortitude are the very thing that can save the future of our Kingdom. However, there is one area of concern...Phillip Dollarfield does not care about saving the Princess. Despite our best efforts, no one has been able to convince him to take up a sword and save her. As strange as this may sound, we are starting to get desperate. Our research into Dollarfield's past suggests that despite your low born status, you and him were companions at some point in your younger years. We task you with going to Dollarfield, and through any means you can, convince him to save the princess. If you do, a handsome reward will come your way.

Sincerely,

Your ruler, The King.

...well should you leave your little farm hut in the countryside and head to the city looking for Phillip? You haven't spoken to that man in years. Maybe you should go to the castle and see if this letter is legitimate. If it is, they'd let a peasant like you into the castle to clear things up. Or maybe you should just ignore this letter and do other stuff.

You put the letter down on the table, and head over to your closet. You open your closet, and pull out your toolkit. Opening it up, you see the key items in your vampire hunting business.

A stake.

A hammer for hammering in that stake.

Some really cool black hunting clothes so you can look cool when hunting vampires.

Garlic. It's starting to go bad so you might want to pick up some more.

An old silver locket from Phillip Dollarfield, before he fell to the vampiric side. Inscribed inside, it says "stay cool."

Suddenly, you hear a knock at the door.

"Hey," a gruff man's voice shouts out, "you in there? I saw you got mail. You don't have any friends, what's going on?"

This is the voice of your neighbor, Jacob Ladder. He's a dick. He doesn't know that you've been keeping this farming village safe for years now. No one does. You're really good at keeping that vampire hunting stuff a secret.

Your goals are clear in your head.

1. Kill Phillip Dollarfield
2. Save the Princess
3. Yell at the old man on your lawn

Well, those first two are still just ideas mulling around in your head, but getting Mr. Ladder off your lawn is something you're going to do. You hide your sweet vampire gear back in the closet, and go to the front door.

Jacob doesn't look too hot.

"Well, who's the letter from? Your mom dead or something?"

It's not from a friend, it's from the government tax offices. Some tedious bureaucratic nonsense that's probably going to cost you money. (Wave the envelope so he sees the government seal).

You wave your envelop in front of Jacob, telling him that it's just some beuqacratic mess that's none of his business. You then tell him to fuck off your lawn or you'll be spreading information about what he does when his wife isn't around.

"You're garbage, bud. Just like my wife."

He spits on the ground in front of you and leaves. You're not positive if he's a vampire or not, but you really do wish he is so you have an excuse to kill him.

...now that he's gone, I guess it's back to getting your vampire hunting gear and setting off to kill Phillip or go look for the princess...or whatever. Maybe you should just walk around aimlessly for a bit.

No. 686654 ID: d9d287

Dude, dude, who the heck would send a letter trying to tug on your heart strings about poor, dead Phillip like that? This is probably a vampire conspiracy that managed to take control of part of the government.
The problem is that this gives us two conflicting goals, and both are significantly important. The obvious one is to figure out what the vampires are up to. We need to trace this letter back to where it came from and verify the humanity of everyone along its path until we find the nest of monsters that was smart enough to come up with this idea. Smart monsters are incredibly dangerous, that's why we try to kill them first whenever we have a choice.
The other thing we have to do is continue protecting our town. Never lose sight of the fact that some of the best plans are actually really damn simple, and the letter may only be a dumb ploy to get us out of town for long enough that a prepared action can do something. We don't know enough about this to guess what kind of something, but some plausible answers are putting some monsters around town, wrecking our place so we've got no home base, or even go full scale night of the monsters and assault the whole town.

We don't have time for aimless walking, what we need to do right now is get in contact with our friends, apprentices and allies, find out what they know, and make a plan to do both those things.

Your crippling paranoia is at it again. You are convinced that there is a very high likelihood that this is all part of a grand vampire conspiracy. You can't trust anyone right now, except your closest companions.

The thing is, you don't have many friends in this village. Or friends in general. Phillip was always the more charismatic one in your little pair.

But there's always that bartender in the local pub, he usually knows what's up.

Then there's Janet, the village psychopath. She knows a lot of stuff if you can decipher whatever she's talking about. She likes to play by the fountain.

You could always go to Sheriff, the town guard. He doesn't like you, but he might know if there's any vampires near by.

You decide to head over to the village fountain, where you see Janet chasing the local ducks. Everyone else going about their way attempts to ignore her, as usual. Janet likes to think she's some sort of werewolf sometimes, though those ears on her head are clearly glued on. She's become somewhat of an unwanted mascot for the town.

She sees you and crawls over on all fours.

"Have you seen those people watching me I know they're trying to take my bone and they keep saying I'm not a dog but they're lying I know it."

You ask her if she knows anything about vampires.

"My friend Suzy is vampire-kin so she's not a real vampire but her soul is a vampire soul and she draws really good art you can see it on the village notice board if the knights didn't take it down yet they hate vampires did you know that?"

You ask her if she wants to help you kill a bunch of people and save the princess.

"Didn't you hear dummy? Only Phillip Dollarfield can save the princess have you seen the size of his penis I sometimes wish I had one of those okay I'll help you- AAAAAAHHHHHH!"

She leaps into the air and climbs on top of your hear.

You know have a Janet equipped.

The towns people shake their heads at you.

SO WORTH IT.

Alright, you're now high-profile, unsocial, and ready to throw a neurotic ball of sugar wrapped in a little girl at the first bandit you see. Get to the nearest bounty board and "deal with" a few outlaws

and by "deal with" I mean recruit them, fake their deaths, take the bounties on their heads, and assault Dollarfield's base. Take Dollarfield alive (Yes I know) and use him and his minions in a ritual sacrifice to turn "anyone within two miles of the princess (except her) into ingredients for a permanent shapeshifting potion that is force-fed into the princess' mouth"

Or whatever.

With Janet now equipped on your head, it's time to build yourself a militia of bandits so you can either defend the village from the upcoming vampire attack, or attack Dollarfield if he really is the only hope of saving the princess and is a vampire, but you won't kill him because...look your paranoia is confusing you, let's just see what's going on with the notice board.

You head over to it, Janet barking and yelping constantly at the other villagers. You bring great shame upon everyone by supporting her ways.

You look at the jobs on the board.

1. HELP, BANDITS ARE IN THE WOODS AND THEY STOLE MY FUCKING MONEY SACK. GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY SACK AND I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR OWN MONEY SACK THAT'S EVEN BIGGER THAN THE MONEY SACK THOSE FUCKING BANDITS STOLE.
-Bobby Dingle

2. I require assistance delivering some baked goods from here to the noble city. I am assisting in a bake sale to raise funds to pay Phillip Dollarfield to save the princess. I know he's already said he doesn't want to do it, but maybe if we all pitch in he will. I just need someone to protect the food as we travel.
-Gloria Ploop

3. ...it's just a drawing of some spiky haired, sword wielding man with one large angel wing and another large demon wing.

>>
No. 686715 ID: d9d287

Janet should equip the drawing for the stat bonuses, if willing.
Also, follow up on Bobby Dingle's job, this seems totally legit and we need a large money sack.

Janet doesn't make a very good hat while we're about town, and we should probably try to address that situation somehow. Since she's a psychopath I'd rather not risk angering her more than necessary. Start by assessing the possibility that Janet equipping herself to your head is a poor attempt at seduction, or non-verbal demand for oral sex. Proceed from there as necessary.

1. Idiot. Take the job. DO NOT GIVE HIM BACK THE ORIGINAL MONEY SACK; there might be some intel written on the sack or a key hidden in one of the coins. Just count the money and the material/volume/shape of the original and turn that in after you recruit the bandits.

2. You wouldn't care about giving money to people who already have some stored away and do not provide services for the public except COOKIES! Use the publicity stunt to sneak into the Nobles District, infiltrate Dollarfield's key structures. Make sure that you limit Janet's sugar intake to the weight of her stomach.

3. Janet, draw some inappropriate sexual characteristics on the OC. Go crazy and show us the image when you're done.

You grab the nearby pencil and draw an eyepatch on top of the OC's face, followed by scratching out Suzy's name and replacing it with your own. You take the drawing off from the board and stick it onto Janet's head.

Janet now has OC DO NOT STEEL equipped.

"Wow I didn't know you drew your drawing is really good I hate you so much right now I want to be this good at drawing can I take a commission and then say what you draw was done by me pretty please?"

You then decide that Bobble Dingle's job seems the most appropriate right now. Everyone needs a big sack. You take Bobby Dingle's notice off the board, and head over to Bobby Dingle's little cottage. Bobby Dingle is right outside eating a sandwich as you approach.

"Hey, you're that weirdo in that little farm hut, huh?" Dingle says, "you here for the money sack job? Why do you have that little girl on your head? She trying to hump ya or something?"

You confirm Bobby Dingle's assumption that Janet is trying to hump your head.

"Yeah, that kid's a fucking loon, huh?" he says.

"Don't make fun of me you're just jealous because you can't get any head yourself!" Janet yells back. Bobby ignores her.

"Anyway, buddy, those assholes ran off with my money sack into these spooky woods outside the village. I don't know if they're still there or anything, but you should go in there, kill them, and bring me back my money sack. I'll give you an even bigger sack if you do. It's still day time and stuff, so you shouldn't worry about any spooky spooks out there."

No time to delay, you head out into the spooky woods.

---

These woods sure are spooky. A perfect place for vampires to hide. It's a good thing it's still daylight, or else all the vampires who probably hide out here would be out, along with the other nasty spooks. The only real problem right now, besides your neck feeling sore from letting Janet hold onto your head for so long, is the chance that you won't find the bandits. These woods are pretty big, and by now the bandits would probably head out to somewhere safer- hey look the bandits.

There are four of them. They are all dirty and uncool. It's a toss up though as to who is uncooler at the moment, you or them.

"What the fuck do you want?" says the apparent leader of the bandits. You can see one of the bandits in the back is holding a distinctive money sack. You also notice that these people seem a whole lot less blocky than everyone else, which usually means they're not afraid to battle you right now.

You run forward and slam your stake into the bandit leader's chest. He shouts out in pain as you give the stake a good smash with your hammer. The bandit leader falls onto the ground. Judging by the insane amounts of blood coming from his chest, his armor wasn't that strong. You take the bandit leaders sword.

Janet rushes over to the archer and starts smashing his leg with a bone. Her bone is not very strong, and this is only a minor annoyance for him. The archer puts down his bow and lifts Janet up by the back of her dress as she kicks and bites the air.

"I'm not gonna hurt a kid!" yells the archer.

The first bandit spearman, horrified by your brutal assault on his leader, vomits a little and misses his turn.

The second bandit spearman pokes your left nipple with his spear. Ouch! That smarts!

You slice at the archer's stomach, and though it does draw blood, the blade isn't very effective. The archer stabs your right nipple with an arrow in response.

Meanwhile, Janet in mid-flight has clung to the face of the first spearman. The spearman vomits in terror, ruining Janet's dress, and missing his turn.

The second spearman runs at you and stabs you in the back. It feels almost as if you had a third nipple on your back which was pierced.

It's time to finish this archer off once and for all! You quickly slide the blade across the archer's neck. Blood spews all over your face as the archer falls to his knees and dies. Judging by the mess that the bandit leader you first attacked is now, the bandit leader is dead too.

You yell out to Janet to poke out the eyes of the bandit she's holding onto. Hearing this, the bandit spearman vomits for a third time.

"Stop blowing chunks on me you're acting just like my mom I hate you so much mom I hate you so much!"

Janet shoves her tiny fingers right into the eyes of the bandit, blinding him permanently. Vomiting one more time, he falls to the ground, now in critical condition.

The second spearman backs away and drops his spear, and throws you the money sack. It's a small, but heavy sack.

"Okay, okay, you win! Just let me go!"

VICTORY!

The remaining able bodied bandit drags off his blinded companion deeper into the woods. Weren't you going to try recruiting some of them? Ah whatever, it's not important, you got the money sack, you feel just a tad bit cooler, Janet even more-so. This money sack sure is heavy. Probably full of lots-of money. You should probably return it to Bobby Dingle though, as he did say he would give you an even bigger money sack.

"Oh my gosh that was so cool we killed a bunch of people we're like real werewolves I mean I am a real werewolf but you were like a werewolf too we should have kids- DON'T TOUCH ME I'M FILTHY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Janet leaps onto your head again, and you feel the vomit on her dress on the back of your neck. It is not a good feeling.

After mulling it over in your head for a bit, you decide that it's best to first take a little advanced payment from the money sack, and then get Janet to your home so you can wash the vomit off of her and her dress. You open up the bag...only to find rocks. There is no money in the money sack, only rocks.

Ignoring that for now, you head out of the woods with Janet on head and bag in hand.

---

You return to your little home. Night has fallen, and the land outside of the village is probably spook central, but you should be safe right now. When you head inside, you pry Janet off of your head and begin to pour some water into a bath bucket for her. Janet wanders around aimlessly, until crawling on top of your table and grabbing the letter you seem to have left there.

She reads it while you begin to warm the water for her.

"You know Phillip Dollarfield is his penis really as big as they say it is I just want to see how fancy his clothes are I'm writing a fan fiction about him do you want to hear it later it's not ready but anyway what's with this letter?"

"His dick was smaller than mine back when he was alive, and vampires being like eunichs just means his dick is useless now, too.
If he saved the princess they'd make him marry her, which would be pointless, frustrating, and annoying for both of them. He is actively disinterested in both the quest and the reward, but we live in a nation of brick-headed idiots so they're just going to dumber and dumber things to convince him to do it.
So we'll save the princess, they'll give him credit, and he'll pay us to rescue the princess from him. Then maybe I'll stake him - haven't decided yet."

I wonder if "save the princess" means raping and murdering her to sire an heir, because she's now "deflowered with the corruption of free spirit and joyous mercy to all sentient beings - oh, and deflowered too". Because ew.

What do YOU intend to do to the princess? Hold her ransom, demanding a brand-new Hunters Guild? Or do you intend to tie her up and leave her next to Janet for three whole days with nothing to eat but whatever Janet shares via regurgitation? Do you loathe the government?

So when was the first time you met Janet? Why didn't you take her in yourself (She might be unstable but you're paranoid enough to handle her).

Check your nipples for piercing.

You don't want to reveal that Phillip is a vampire to Janet just yet. She said her friend Suzy is "vampire-kin", whatever that means, so for all you know Janet might be a closet vampire lover. You explain that Phillip's penis is not as big as yours, and that everyone is just too stupid to realize he only has weird, abnormally large balls. You then continue to badmouth Phillip and explain how it's up to you and her to help save the princess.

Janet nods.

"You're a snake in the grass but I'll believe you since you're sharing your water."

She begins to drink from the tub. When you tell her the tub is for bathing in, she takes off her dress and jumps in...and then continues to drink the water. You take her dress to wash it, but as soon as she jumped into the water, she jumps out.

"Okay thanks I gotta go home now my mom is probably drunk on elves again I think she's hiding things from me okay bye."

She puts on her vomit covered dress and marches out into the night...you then notice that your nipples are still bleeding pretty badly, along with that wound on your back. You simply patch them up with a few bandages you have lying around and go to bed. You should probably go see a doctor about your wounds in the morning.

---

You wake up to find that Janet is clinging to your head again. She doesn't smell like vomit and her dress seems clean. There's a knock on the door.

"Hey, you find my money sack yet?"

You have the strong desire to grab the bag of rocks and smash Bobby Dingle across the face. However, you force yourself from doing so.

"Still got that dumb kid on your face, huh? You some kind of pedophile?"

It's not very easy to remain calm. You walk back inside, taking out one of the rocks as a souvenir. You then come back, and hand him the money sack. Bobby fills with glee as he opens the sack.

"Ah yeah, my rock collection is all intact! Thanks for getting it back for me, that was really cool of you. You two aren't as awful as everyone says."

She's 'too young.' We don't need the details of when her birth date was unless you want to give her a birthday party. It would be a nice thing to do if we had the time, but we've got vampires to hunt.

Ask about the promised reward, we need a money sack even if it doesn't have money in it.
When this meeting is over, we should talk to Janet's folks and ask them what to do about the fact she seems to want to be our new hat. This is obviously pretty bad socially if we're getting people remarking about whether or not we're a pedophile to our face: That's fighting words normally. If she were grown up or formally our apprentice vampire hunter it would be different to hang around with her, but this ends badly as we're going right now.
After that we should visit the doctor to get our wounds properly treated.

Completing that quest fills you with a sense of being cool, but it's nothing compared to how cool Janet must be feeling right now. If she looked just a little bit cooler, there's a good chance she'd go from a social outcast to...well, nothing really great, but something slightly better than social outcast.

"Hey wait a minute," says Bobby, "one of my rocks is missing! Those damn bandits probably pawned it off before you could get to them. Ahhh damn it. Anyway, here's that money sack I promised you."

He hands you a very large money sack. It's incredibly light, but you hear some jingling inside. Looking into the bag, you see it contains 5 gold coins.

"Alright, see you freaks later."

Bobby wanders off. With him now gone, it's time to go deal with Janet's folks. Don't want to be seen as a child kidnapper now, that would be uncool. Then once you get that mess settled, you'll go to the doctor to get your nipples and back properly fixed up.

You walk out of your house and head over to Janet's home, a dingy, but slightly better than your own, hovel. You knock on the door, and a tall woman answers the door.

"What are you doing with my kid on your head?" she asks you.

"Mom look at this man he's like my dad except he doesn't cover you in cinnamon roll cream all the time we should feed him food but not any of my food." Janet leaps off of your head and runs behind her mother, suddenly acting nervous.

You enter a tirade about how Phillip Dollarfield is planning on sacrificing the princess and how dark forces might not be so bad and how you're going to use Phillip as a meat shield to defeat whatever captured the princess. Janet's mother isn't quite sure what you're talking about, and it seems to confuse and frustrate her. You then discuss how you want to take Janet off her hands so you can train her...and she likes to be on your head for some reason, but you're not sure what that reason is.

"...yeah, sure, whatever, just don't get her killed or anything."

Janet's mother pushes Janet out from behind her, out of the house, and then closes the door slowly. Guess this means Janet's your apprentice now.

"Bye mom!" yells out Janet as she climbs on top of your head.

You head your way to the local doctor of the village, Doctor Dario. He's outrageously good at patching people up, so it shouldn't be too hard to get your nipples fixed up. You enter his nice little cottage just as he finishes sewing an unconscious man's leg back on.

"Someone stab your nipples again? This is the 3rd time this month!"

You've had a few nipple related accidents in the past.

"No matter, I just got a fresh batch of nipples from the part market yesterday. Two gold for two fresh new nipples...unless you want to keep your old nipples and just want me to clean them up...then it's still two gold. Oh, and one gold for fixing that nasty scratch on your back."

Okay, how EXACTLY do your city's doctors "replace nipples"? Because even with regeneration magics, the new flesh may be incompatible in the long run without the appropriate genetic-manipulation magics.

Fix / disinfect the scratch and clean/replace the nipples, you're not sure what those bandits smeared all over their weapons.

Well that leaves you with 2 gold. So how much is two gold worth anyway?

Before answering the doctor, you suddenly feel the urge to contemplate the concept of coolness. More specifically, cool points. Cool points are earned through the completion of specific tasks, the defeating of enemies, and certain actions that are just really bodacious. The more cool points you have, the more people will respect you, and the more opportunities for growth you will experience. For example, you and Janet are currently Complete Outcasts, but Janet has 9 cool points. If she were to get one more cool point, she would probably go from a Complete Outcast to a Hopeless Loser, which is still bad, but will give her a few more opportunities to grow. Coolness is all subtle mumbo jumbo, so it may not be clear at first, but the point is that coolness is important.

"...hey, you alright there? You want your nipples replaced or not?"

You say that you just want a good repairing, no replacements.

"Pfffft, you're no fun." says Dr. Dario.

---

After a quick surgery, your nips are cleaned and disinfected, along with your back wound. You feel good and ready for whatever new battles come your way.

You pay him the three gold you promised, and head out with Janet.

The question is, now what do you do? Check the notice board and finish up that other quest you didn't do? Go shopping and see what two gold can get you? Leave immediately to find Phillip Dollarfield? Leave immediately and try to find the princess? Sit on the ground and do nothing? The world is your oyster!

Though getting better weapons and getting cooler are high priorities, you decide that it's best to check out Janet's friend Suzy. One, because she might be a potential companion, and two, she might know a thing or two about Phillip Dollarfield and vampires in general. You ask Janet to guide you over to Suzy's house.

"Okay just follow where I'm pointing Suzy's house is where I'm pointing at I bet she's almost done on her new OC it's going to be so good but not as good as my stuff I'm a golden god you know."

You knock on Suzy's front door, and are greeted by a skinny girl wearing plastic vampire teeth and a gaudy dress.

There's a test you want to pull, just to make sure she's not an actual vampire who only looks like she's a fake vampire. You ask her what a man is. Her eyes brighten up.

"Oh oh!" says Suzy, "I know this one!"

She clears her throat.

"A miserable pile of secrets! Mwahahaha!"

You're just about to stake her in the heart when her fake teeth fall out mid laugh, and she has to put them back in. She's not a real vampire. Suzy and Janet begin to discuss comic books and original characters. You subtly take out Suzy's OC that you stole from the notice board, and add a few adjustments to it to make it look like a badass vampire hunter. You slide it on top of a massive pile of drawings on Suzy's table. When Suzy draws her attention back to you, you ask her if you want to join you and Janet on adventures around the countryside.

Suzy stops to think, stroking her chin as she looks at the badass picture you created.

"Mom!" shouts Suzy, "can I go out with some friends and go on adventures?"

"You have friends? As in, more than one? Finally! Yes, you can!" yells back a voice from the darkness.

Janet foams from the mouth with excitement (more of a thick spit, really), leaping back onto your head.

"Come on Suzy let's get going we're going to meet Phillip Dollarfield and touch his balls I bet he has them signed by other celebrities."

"Alright, alright, let me just get on." replies Suzy. Suzy jumps onto your back, wrapping her legs around your stomach and putting her arms over your shoulders.

Well, this just went from "wolf on your head" to "old-rpg party glomp". You still need more squad members to take on Phillip (Enemy A), and many more still to taken on whoever captured the princess (Enemy B).

So, who else is enough of a loser to follow a vampire hunter and his two fuzzball psychopaths? You're still going to need to consider hiring outlaws, but those bandits probably spread the word by now...

You find yourself at a crossroads right now, mentally. On one hand, you could really use some more cool points, and fighting someone cool, like a rapper, would really help with that. On the other hand, you want to find more companions, since taking down Phillip Dollarfield and saving the princess (or killing here, you're not sure what you're going to do half the time) will be even harder.

Thinking about it, a few options come to mind. You remember hearing word of a bard in the village on the other side of the spooky woods that is of some note. Any good adventure party needs a bard, maybe finding them would be a good idea. On the other hand, if they're cool enough, you could beat them up and feed off the coolness that would result in. Then again, sunset will probably come soon. Maybe you should just stay in town and look for more potential companions here, though there probably aren't a lot of other social outcasts here. Or hell, what about waiting until nightfall, going into the spooky woods, and fighting some spooks? Is that dangerous? Yes, extremely dangerous, but imagine how cool that would make you, Janet, and Suzy feel. Of course, you could check the notice board for more quests, if straight traditional grinding feels more right.

You are compelled to grind cool points, that much is clear, but this dirt town is running low on good quests. It's time to do something really cool, like start a band, or fight some baddies, or something else. Point being, you head out of the town and start moving through the woods to the next village, Snickersberg, where that musician is supposed to be.

---

Looks like Snickersberg is taking longer to get to than usual, and the sun has set much faster, it seems. You start picking up the pace in the hopes of avoiding any spooks. If only you could convince Janet and Suzy to get off of you, maybe you wouldn't be so slow. But before any discussion on travel accommodations can be made, a TERRIFYING SPOOK APPEARS!

"Oooooooooooooooo"

Janet and Suzy shriek in terror, squeezing both your head and your stomach respectively as they do so.

But wait, the spook is still blocky. Maybe you don't need to fight it right away.

The only way you're gonna out spook this ghost is by releasing your inner skeleton. Everyone knows skeletons are scarier than ghosts, no bones about it. You shake Janet and Suzy off of your body and dig your fingers into your chest. You begin pulling pack, hoping to tear through your flesh and release your skeleton onto the world. However, ripping off enough flesh for your skeleton to escape through all your clothes is really hard, and you can hardly make a real impact on your flesh. Plus, doing something like that would be extremely cool, and you are not that cool.

"Hey, are you trying to attack me with your skeleton? How rude!

We don't have many cool points, so we can't do attacks that require the user to be cool, but can we use attacks that require the user to be... uncool?

Finally, consider that a Wario-style garlic fart attack is one of least cool attacks possible. I think our path is clear.

Attacking the ghost spook with physical attacks probably won't be very effective, and since you don't have any magical weapons or spells to cast, your best bet would be some classic psychological warfare. You order Suzy and Janet to talk about their favorite comic books.

"Janet, have you read the latest issue of Ms. Fortune?"
"Yes I have it's so amazingly and good her breasts are so big she's a role model for all of us if only she was a little bit fatter I would want to hug her so much right now."
"I really think she and Mr. Mystery are going to get together! It's gonna be so hot!"
"Their marriage is going to fall apart he's going to die in some alley and she's going to keep his teeth as a souvenir and wear them around her neck on a necklace."

The ghost is very confused and uncomfortable, weirding him out and lowering his effectiveness in battle.

You eat the garlic, giving yourself stinky breath. You are unsure if the ghost can smell or not, but if it can, he's in for a world of stink!

The ghost, weirded out by the girls, grabs you and goes "OOGA BOOGA BOGGA!"

This spooks you, but not too much.

You're feeling pretty darned spooked right now, but with the power of two insane little girls, you can spook this ghost out to infinity! You order Janet to seduce the ghost.

"Oh I want your ghost babies so bad is it alright if I eat your babies too I bet they taste delicious kind of like a yogurt where does that stuff come from anyway I'm getting so hard right now."

The ghost is looking really uncomfortable. You then order Suzy to bite Janet on the neck. It's only more of a nibble, really, but it's strange enough for the ghost to be grossed out even more.

Finally, you rip your pants clean off, and begin to singing like a maniac.

The combined strangeness weirds the ghost out so much that the ghost reverts back to its blocky form.

"You people are weirdos. I'm out of here."

The ghost leaves.

You feel coolness emitting from Janet. She's still pretty damn lame, but between the three of you, she's the face now. Janet squees with joy.

"I feel so cool right now I bet I could piss on people and no one would even care I am having so much fun right now!"

The two girls get back into position on your body while you put your pants back on. You continue down the road to Snickersberg.

The small village of Snickersberg, much like your home village, isn't very cool on a grand scale. However, since it does have some big walls, and a few places of note, people remember the name Snickersberg more. There's a local in, a local wizard shop, a nice little dive bar, an a little circus tent...thing.

You head over to the inn and go inside. It's a small but cozy little place. The innkeeper, a chubby woman with bright red hair and a scar going down from her nose to her lips, looks at you three with sympathetic eyes...actually, come to think of it, she's not looking at you three, she's looking at Janet.

"Oh, you poor little dear," the innkeeper says, getting out from behind the front desk and prying Janet off your head.

"Dressed up like a dog, being in the care of these...people..." she looks at you and Suzy with contempt. "Let me get you a place to sleep for the night, my treat," she says to Janet, and when she looks back at you and Suzy she says "...oh and I guess you two gotta sleep there too."

Point being, the three of you are given an extra room in the back off the inn that hasn't been properly cleaned yet...but it's free! I guess being a hopeless loser made Janet look a lot more sympathetic, and you and Suzy got to ride on her coattails.

The three of you sleep.

You all need money, and the only good way you can think of to make some cash is to do a few quests from the notice board. You head over and read what's going on.

1. Hey dudes, this is Ryan Rockstone here and I've got myself in a little trouble. You see I was doing a music gig for some goblin dudes outside of the village, near those goblin caves and stuff, but after the show I was jumped by some goblins and they stole my sweet guitar. If you could get it back for me, that would be really cool. I'd also give you like, 10 gold for doing it. Thanks guys.
-Ryan Rockstone

2. BEHOLD! I require Blood Berries for my magical potions, but I do not wish to go out and get them myself. I will give a free magic lesson to anyone who can get me a bushel of Blood Berries!

3. For a good time, come by the hole in the wall at midnight.

FREE MAGIC LESSONS?! OH BOY!!!

Be sure to take their assets (rip out spellbook pages, threaten to let loose their latest biological affronts to society, "recruit" their kids on your dangerous little adventure) hostage right before turning in the quest in case they decide that because you probably don't have magic (which is true) and they do they can just spam magic at you until you stop moving.

That goblin quest seems reputable, but I don't feel good about murdering a bunch of rock-and-roll kids.

Candy's an obvious trap, but you've got two psychopaths in your party. You can handle this if you fight from a distance, so consider purchasing some bombs. Throw into well and let all havoc loose.

Let's go a berry picking. If anyone is allergic to these things speak now.

Side note, is anyone curious what would happen if we stuck a carrot into a hole in a wall at midnight? Because the temptation is there and the curiosity isn't helping.

No. 687396 ID: d9d287

Huh. The first one sounds pretty good. Very little is more rock and roll than lethal mosh to the death, this is a serious opportunity to pick up a lot of cool if it is what it says it is. I like, but be wary... if this is as cool as it sounds why hasn't someone else already done it?

The second one is berry picking in the forest, for a, 'magic lesson,' which may only turn out to be, "Getting hit with magic fireballs hurts!" if we're not careful: Wizards can sometimes be immense, diarrhea-spewing assholes. Do you know anything about those berries or how difficult they are to get, or what they may be used for besides booze?

A hole in a wall and a promise of, "A good time." This traditional way for prostitutes to advertise, sexual deviants to search for each other and annoyed ex-lovers to harass their former romantic partners. This could actually mean lots of different things, which may actually be rather hazardous, and expensive. This seems like a questionable opportunity at best until we've exhausted everything else available, because our finances, social-power and party dynamics are not optimized for making use of this kind of opportunity.

I say check them out in order, if we get to the last one at all.

Try asking Suzy if magic is good against vampires as tastefully and non-suspiciously as you can. If it's good, i'd say go with the berry quest, if not, than the guitar quest.

Also before you go, carve something cool into the notice board for some potential cool points. Something like your team logo which you need to make up soon. Get Suzy and Janet to make a cool team logo so you feel like more of a team.

It's a hard decision, but magic is really damn cool. If one of you can learn a few spells, that should really boost your coolness in the long run. You rip the wizard's notice off the board and march off back into the spooky woods in search of blood berries.

"Are blood berries good they sound really good we should rub them on ourselves and then kill somebody and eat them" says Janet.
"Janet, you're allergic to blood berries" says Suzy, "if you eat any your face starts to bleed all over."
"Oh...okay."

You keep walking until you find some bright red berries with little skulls on them growing on a bush. You're pretty sure these are blood berries. Suddenly, a strange old man pops out from the bush. This man smells dirty and probably doesn't bathe often. It's your best bet that he's some kind of druid.

"Halt, I am Don the Druid. Did Chumbler send you to get blood berries? If he did, then get out of here. Chumbler's an asshole and he doesn't respect nature. Every time I try to grow blood berries in these parts he sends someone to go pluck them all. I think he's doing this in spite of me. You people don't look that stuck up, you probably get it, right?"

You decide that the best course of action is to explain that, yes, "Chumbles", not Chumbler, wants you to get these berries in exchange for magic lessons, and if the druid were to teach one of you some magic, maybe you wouldn't need to take the berries.

"Hmmm..." Don scratches his neck, thinking... "well, you and that girl with the fake teeth seem to be druid material..."

You're not sure if you should take that as an insult or not.

"...your little dog girl is a bit too cool though...okay, I'll teach you a quick little spell. I'll teach a healing spell, how about that? But I can only teach one of you the spell. I'm old and it takes awhile to learn it."

You say that you want to be the one to learn the healing spell.

"What? Oh come on I'd be a cool druid!" says Suzy.
"Exactly," says Don, "but cool and druid are things that should not be combined. Unlike other magic, to embrace nature is to ignore things like coolness. If you don't fully embrace being an outcast, I can't feel comfortable teaching druid magic."

Don looks back at you.

"Anyway, let's get teaching."

---

It is now the late afternoon, and after hours of awkward hand touching and rubbing, you have learned the spell druidic healing.

You ask Don if he can teach another spell later if you do a quest for him.

"Maybe, maybe...actually, yes, there is something I could use your help with. I've heard word that a group of hunters from one of those nasty hunter guilds is going to come to the woods for some general animal slaughter. As you can probably tell, I'm not very okay with that. If you three can help me ward them off tomorrow, I'll teach another druid spell. You'll even get some coolness out of it for everyone not learning my magic."

It's time to give your druidic healing a test run. You ask Suzy to give you one of her OC drawings. She shows you a wolf girl with two wings and weird sword.

You attempt to heal the OC to improve it, your hands glowing green and letting out a nice minty scent, but deep down the OC believes in itself and knows that it's perfect just the way it is. There is no effect.

Without much else to do, you tell the girls that you're going to take a power nap until something interesting happens or you somehow sleep all the way to the next day to fight the hunters.

Don the druid pulls out some little beds of leaves for you all to sleep on.

"Get up, lazy bones!" Don shakes you awake again. Alright, alright, you're up. It's time to go to these hunting grounds. Sneaking through the bushes and past the trees under the cover of night, you see three bow wielding hunters, stumbling around looking inebriated.

"Ahhh...lovely night for a...hunt, don't ya think, boys?" asks one of the drunken hunters, reading his bow at nothing in particular.

You break the plan down to Suzy and Janet, Don listening in as well. Suzy is to go out looking scared and confused in front of the hunters, while Janet makes wolf noises. Janet will then pounce onto Suzy, confusing the hunters long enough for some non-lethal action.

Suzy walks out in front of the hunters.

"Ooooooh, poor me! I am, uh, lost and scared! I'm just a poor, defenseless girl (who's secretly a beautiful fairy seductress or something really cool like that) and I'm afraid of the scary wolves in these parts!"

Janet howls and barks like crazy. The hunters are tense and ready for action. Janet then leaps out from the bushes, in all her might...and is shot in the leg by one of the huntersmen's arrows while she's in the air. Janet falls to the ground in front of Suzy, yelping in pain.

"Ah shit!" yells out one of the hunters, "what the fuck I thought you were a wolf!"

Rush in with expletives, Don should stay low-profile.

Blackmail them into giving you money and tell them that hunting while drunk is stupid. Also ask if they use poison.

Janet may be bleeding and whimpering in pain, but that doesn't mean all is lost. You tell Don to stay in the bushes while you rush out with a new plan.

The hunters have gathered around the girls, unsure of what to do. You come up and try to give them the best solution. You say that you were just out for a late night stroll with your apprentices, looking for mercenary jobs, and that these hunters will be in a lot of trouble if they don't give up their hunting ways and leave these grounds. You then bend over and attempt to use a healing spell...but something doesn't feel right.

The hunters look at each other, and then back at you.

"You know," says one of the hunters, "if we kill all of you, then there's no way you can tell on us!"

You order Suzy to bite one of the hunters as you grab Janet in your arms, and then drop her on top of your head. Rushing to cover, you watch as Suzy runs up to the first hunter and bites him in the neck. He shakes her off, and she leaves behind a few puncture wounds. Nothing too crazy, but he's starting to bleed lightly.

You consider whether you should throw a rock at the hunters or start healing Janet right away. Morality gets the better of you, and your heads release the minty healing freshness. You begin to repair Janet's leg, removing the arrow in the process.

Don speaks in an ancient tongue and leaps from the bushes. A vine bursts out from the ground under him, speeds over to the second hunter, and whips them in the head, knocking them over and leaving some head trauma.

The first hunter, a little peeved off that a teen girl bit his neck, stabs her in the chest with one of his arrows. The third hunter joins in, pulling out a dagger and stabbing her in the back.

You finish healing Janet, and immediately spring back into action. You rush towards the first and third hunters, and shove your stake right into the neck of the first hunter. He falls to the ground, bleeding heavily now. Janet runs over and bites the leg of the third hunter as hard as she can, leaving nasty teeth marks and causing some pretty strong pain. Suzy attempts to limp away from the action. Don starts dancing around in a circle. Is he performing a spell? You're not sure. The second hunter has finally pulled himself up. He's still too woozy to attack, but he is standing. The third hunter kicks Janet off of his leg and stabs you in the back.

Don finishes his dance, and you start to hear growling from the darkness surrounding you. A massive wolf runs out from behind a tree and bites the third hunter. The wolf begins to maul the third hunter as Janet joins in, putting the third hunter in critical condition.

You take your time to pin the first hunter to the grand and stab him in the neck one more time with your crappy sword, killing him.

Suzy grabs one of the fallen arrows and lunges towards the second hunter. She stabs him in the chest, but he fights through it, kicking Suzy to the ground. Suzy's not looking too good.

The wolf leaves the third hunter to drown in his own blood as Don points at the second hunter. The wolf pounces on top of him, and begins tearing at his face. Howling and giggling, Janet helps the wolf by smacking the second hunter with her bone. You rush over to Suzy and begin healing her, though it will take a little while to get her up and running again. Good thing you made it to Suzy as soon as you did, she could very well have died.

Luckily for you, the third hunter has finally given in to his wounds and gives up on life, and with the second hunter now in critical condition, the battle is finally over.

Suzy, still very out of it due to her wounds, feels an intense rush of coolness filling her body.

"I was really...cool, right?"

Suzy lifts a weak hand into the air, expecting a high five. You give it to her, and she feels totally awesome. Don sits by you and Suzy, and performs his own druidic healing spell on her, speeding up the healing process.

Janet, riding on the back of Don's wolf, is having the time of her life. The wolf rests by Don's side.

"So...that got pretty hectic there," says Don, "sorry about the girl here...say, after we heal her up, how about I teach you that other druid spell you wanted. How about vine whip? It's a good way to smack your enemies around, and if you aim it just right, you can disarm people with it too. Hell, just for all the trouble I caused you, I'll even teach the spell to one of your friends here if you want instead, even if they aren't druid material, just this once though."
>>
No. 687948 ID: 2ccbb3

Vine whip is tempting, but the girls got hit more than you did for all that CP. They probably deserve a healing spell more than you do. Ask Don if he'll teach an advanced healing spell to one of the girls.

Also, take the bows of the hunters. See if you can heal the second hunter, keep him captive for a while until you can turn him in for a reward. Or maybe Don would like to experiment on the guy; death-row guinea pigs are expensive these days.

You ask Don if he can teach one of the girls an advanced healing spell instead.

"Ehhhhh...maybe, but I've already got my hands all ready for a vine spell...come back to me in a little while, we'll talk about it. For now, give me your hands, it's time for you to learn vine whip."

---

After many hours of rubbing hands and plant touching, you have learned the spell vine whip.

Don is all tuckered out again and falls asleep right after teaching you just as the sun rises. You and everyone else are feeling pretty tired too. Suzy is limping, but she can at least walk.

Maybe you should just rest a bit here too with Don, then ask him about learning another spell for the girls later...then again, with Don asleep, nothing's stopping you from grabbing those blood berries he was guarding, rushing over to Chumbles' place, and getting him to teach some kick ass spells.

You stumble over to the dead hunters and take their bows from them. With three bows in total, you give one bow to Suzy, one to Janet, and one to yourself. Splitting the arrows up amongst you, you each have 10 arrows.

You decide to not be a dick, refusing to steal the berries while Don is asleep. Instead, you'll gently nudge him awake.

"Wuh...what's up?"

You ask him if there's anyone else he might know who could have blood berries.

"Uuuhhh...well, besides for just buying them in another town, I think I might have an idea, maybe...there's a carriage that comes by the road every once in awhile. It belongs to some noble guy who has a cottage out in these parts. Rich people like berries, right? Just watch the roads and follow the carriage when it comes by, you can't miss it."

Well, let's hope that nap from before keeps you moving. The sun is up now, and you and the crew are going to wait by the roads until a carriage comes by. You thank Don for all his help, and leave. Don goes back to sleep.

You go through the woods until you can find the road again. You and the girls sit down and wait for any interesting carriages to come by.

"I really wish I could ride that wolf again hey maybe now that you know that vine spell you can smack lady butts with it my mom really likes it when dad does that" says Janet.

"Ugghhh...my body still hurts" whines Suzy.

You wait for a long while until a fog begins to roll in. Even though it is day right now, this strange fog seems to darken the sky. You worry that the spooks might come out. You hear the clopping noise of horses and the spinning of wheels, and see a large black carriage going down the road. The windows of the carriage are covered by thick curtains, and a strange looking hunched man is in control of the horses. Maybe that's the guy Don was talking about.

You and the girls stand in front of the road, and the carriage comes to a stop. The man driving the carriage looks down at you, and throws you 10 gold pieces.

"Here. Now buy yourselves some food and get out of here. My boss needs to get home."

You ask him if he, or whoever is actually in the carriage, has any blood berries.

"...no."

The man gets his horses moving again, and the carriage rides off. The fog lifts soon after.

That carriage is suspicious, and you know you need to investigate it. Luckily enough, it seems to have left a trail of horse hoof-prints behind it. You will simply need to follow those from a good distance and hopefully you will be able to find where that carriage is going.

So...taking into account that crazy fight last night, and how Suzy isn't perfectly ready to get moving yet, you decide another quick nap for everyone is a good idea. Finding some comfortable underbrush, you and the girls sleep.

No you fool, the money goes towards funding the corrupt symbols of hierarchy from l'ancien regime that we as an anarchist outcast must resist! Paying money to feed the obsessions of the rich (like rescuing some damn figurehead princess) is figurative vampirism sucking the financial lifeblood of the poor to sustain the vampiric rich.

"Oh my gosh this is the greatest cookie I've ever had I want to capture this old lady and force her to make cookies for me forever in my basement it would be the best thing ever please please please I need more!" Janet's mouth is basically foaming at this point.

"Ohhhhhh this is a really good cookie!" Suzy is jittery and twitchy. "Let's go do some cool stuff, I can take on the whole world!"

In your sugar high state, you slam down seven coins on Ploop's counter and buy the shiny dagger. You then throw the dagger over to Janet, who catches it in her teeth. You now have 2 gold.

"I am going to be the greatest werewolf cookie knife girl ever just you wait and see!"

You then run over to the notice board. No more new jobs to be had, just the missing guitar and the blood berry quests. Suzy spits on the board for wasting your sugar high time. The three of you then rush into the bar, knocking over stools as you do. The drinkers look at you all, confused. You see the source of the ukulele music, a young man rocking out on a small stage.

"Uh...dude, I'm not much of a rapper, man. I mean if this were a guitar off, maybe I'd take you up on the offer, but all I got on me right now is this ukulele. Goblins stole my guitar...oh, pleasure to meet you though. The name's Ryan Rockstone."

Still driven by sugar, you agree to help the man get his guitar back. Calling the girls back to their places, Janet leaps on your head, Suzy gets onto your back, and you run out into the woods searching for the goblin cave before the bard can give you any more details.

You run around the woods until finally you start to crash from all that sugar. You slow down, and you just feel all the energy leaving your body. Janet and Suzy, based on their droopiness, are feeling the same way.

"Sugar crash?" asks a nasally voice from behind you.

You turn around to see a goblin, just kind of chilling.

You decide to be nice to the goblin, and ask him if he's seen a guitar around here, explaining that you believe someone in this area stole it from a local musician.

"Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about," says the goblin, "that Ryan Rockstone guy's guitar. He was playing a show over by our caves. He was pretty good. Thing is, we have our own band in the caves too. More of a gang than a band, really, but their leader, Tuner, was talking about how he wanted a guitar, so him and his friends probably took it from the guy, seeing as now Tuner has a guitar now. Us goblins would probably do something about it but...well, Tuner's band really needed that guitar. Their music is so much better now. If you want to check them out, just go into the caves, I'm sure they're playing somewhere in there...just don't go killing them and and then killing all of us or something. If I had a gold piece for every time some adventurers came in and performed goblin genocide on us, I'd be one rich goblin."

dang, this doesn't sound like it has an easy solution, unless you could somehow get the money to get an all new guitar for Tuner.

You thank the goblin for his time, and enter the cave. It's a long, dark, and narrow pathway, much more suitable for goblins to go through than humans. Janet and Suzy get off of your body to have an easier time squeezing through each of the passages. Eventually though, you do make it to the goblin village of "Underground Goblin Village Stay Out Adventurers"...the sign down here doesn't really give a proper name.

You look around to see anything interesting around here. It's got its standard stuff you'd find in any normal village; houses, shops, ect, but a few things do catch your eye. For starters, there's a sack hanging from a stick. A sign points to the sack, reading in red letters...

Party Sack.

You also notice this village has its own notice board. Guess goblins have their own quests that need to be done too. Finally, you see a larger hut with a sign on it that says "Performance Hall." You hear...what you think is music coming from it, but honestly it sounds more like a random combination of instruments being played pretty poorly. Guitar can be heard from that mess, you are certain of that.

You open up the sack and peer deeply into it. However, the sack appears to be completely empty. Just then, you are shoved by something behind you, and tumble head first into the party sack. You feel Suzy and Janet slam into you as well. The party sack must have been some sort of trap, and now you've all been captured in it. You feel the sack fall from the stick it was hanging from, and someone, perhaps your capturer, drags the three of you across the ground. Despite your struggling, the party sack appears to be very durable, and in this dark and crammed space it's hard to grab any weapons. You then start to feel small hands from outside the bag pushing you from all sides, until the sack is no longer being dragged, but rolled to its destination. The three of you tumble about all over each other. You hear loud banging and shouting all around you, and strange lights seem to penetrate the darkness within the sack.

The sack then opens.

You are at a goblin nightclub.

Your know exactly what must be done...you gotta steal one of these crazy lamps! Look at these lights! This is some pretty advanced stuff. As goblins rave around you, you grab one of the lamps. Before you can put it into your inventory, however, you are approached by a goblin wearing a crown. He doesn't seem to be super blocky, yet at the same time isn't detailed enough to be an obvious threat. Might be best to be carful around this one.

"Greetings," the goblin says, "I am the king of this village, and you are our new welcomed guests, courtesy of the party sack!"

You gotta be friendly here. You greet the goblin king and ask him what this party is all about.

"That's very simple," he says, "it's been a whole three months since someone tried to grind us for cool points. That's something worth celebrating. So please, enjoy yourself, grab some of the food, grab a gal, grab a bloke if you want. Wait a little while, we've got Tuner and the Tunettes playing soon."

You ask him why the goblins needed to steal a guitar when they could just sell these cool lights.

"I'm not the one who told Tuner to take that guitar, he did that himself. Not that I'm complaining, he's pretty good at the guitar now. Anyway, we can't sell these lights because no one wants to trade with us...probably because we do things like steal guitars."

You ask him if he knows anything about vampires.

"I don't know much about vampires, other than that Phil Dollarface guy and some other guy basically hunted them out of the country. If they're still around, they're probably hiding in the night with all the other spooks."

You decide that the best thing to do right now is to just wait this out and see what happens. Janet is a freak on the dance floor, impressing many a goblin. Suzy just sits by the corner drinking punch and feeling awkward.

Eventually though, the king of the goblins calls everyone's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen...I present to you...Tuner and the Tunnettes!"

A goblin with flowing red locks is applauded on stage. He is holding a badass guitar. He is followed by seven more goblins. Yes. Seven.

One with drums.
One with a tuba.
One with a kazoo.
One with a piano.
One with a xylophone.
One with a didgeridoo.
And one with a triangle.

"Yeah I would so do that don't even try me my bladder is full of sin and it's ready to burst!"

Tuner raises the guitar like a baseball bat, and the other bandmates get noticeably tense.

"That dumb human can buy a new fucking guitar if he fucking wants to, but I can't get another one! Our band is more rocking than ever before! I stole this fair and square! If you want it, you'll have to go through me and my Tunnettes!"

I don't think you should actually fight them, because he might use the guitar as a weapon and break it. Also because they don't seem like horrible goblins, they just can't buy instruments like humans can.

You decide that instead of resorting to violence or competition, you continue a clear, blunt approach. You explain that you're only hear for the guitar, and you would be happy to work something out if the Tunnettes if they just did something about Tuner here.

The xylophone player puts his hand on Tuner's shoulder and says "just give him the guitar, man." The other Tunnettes shoot Tuner a similar look that says "it's just not worth it."

Tuner shouts incoherently and walks out of the room.

You decide the only solution left is to take it from him whether he's fine with it or not. You send Janet and Suzy over to dry-hump tuner, and without question, the girls do so with an intense fury.

"Hey, get off of me!" Tuner yells.
"We're just dancing, calm down!" replies Suzy.
"This is going to make you so popular I mean you're going to be like the goblin guy who was seen dancing with a vampire and a werewolf that's really cool in my book" says Janet.

You then use a little magic flair to cast vine whip. A vine erupts from the ground, wraps itself around the guitar, and flings it towards you. You grab the guitar, and feel pretty cool for pulling off this tactical masterpiece.

"That's it!" yells Tuner, "I'm gonna kick your ass!" A crowd of goblins form around you as Tuner puts up his fists. The Tunnettes watch from a distance, uneasy. The king of the goblins does not look pleased.

Like a dog, the wolf-man brings you back Janet and leaves the bloody girl by your feet.

You prepare your druidic healing spell and place your hands on Janet's neck. You notice a bit of hair on her upper lip that wasn't there before.

While you heal Janet, and Janet tries to stop bleeding, Suzy prepares another shot from her bow and fires it at the wolf-man. The arrow lodges itself right into the wolf-man's testicles! The wolf-man cries and cups his privates, then runs over to Suzy, knocking her to the ground. The moment he gets over his testicular terror, he'll no doubt maul her.

Once you're finished healing her, you grab your stake, run behind the wolf-man, and ram the stake into his back. For extra damage, you slam it in a little bit more with your hammer.

While still on the ground, Suzy kicks the wolf-man in the crotch again to keep him further stunned! It works! The wolf-man, despite being incredibly durable, is stunned hard!

Janet attempts to get up and fire an arrow, but due to being woozy from the healing, misses the shot.

The werewolf, though unable to properly attack, thrashes around enough to slam you into the ground.

The wolf-man lies defeated on the ground in front of you. The coolness flows through your veins and Janet's. There's something else flowing through Janet as well.

Somehow not having a problem with the drinking of blood unless the person doing it is a vampire, you let Janet go ahead. Using her shiny dagger, Janet makes a small cut on the wolf-man's back and suckles at the blood.

You decide that the werewolf has had enough abuse for one night, and leave him alone. Janet gets back on your head, Suzy gets back on your back, and you return to the village. You look up in the night sky to see that the moon is not full. You're no expert on werewolves, but you thought for sure that werewolves only came during full moons. Maybe you'll need to research this more later.

Anyway, you're back at the village. The general options still stand. Go to the bar and turn in the quest, go to the inn and sleep, go to the circus tent, go to the wizard's place, sit around throwing rocks at windows, and all that other goodness.

As you walk to the bar to turn in the guitar, you pick up small pebbles on the path. You're gonna throw little pebbles at windows and it's going to be lots of fun. You enter the mostly deserted bar and see Ryan Rockstone just as he finishes his last song for the night. You come up to him with the guitar in hand.

"Dude, you got my guitar back!"

Ryan takes the guitar from you and holds it tight like you've just returned his long lost baby.

Ryan walks up to you, hugs you, and then warps himself around the front of your body. With Janet on your head and Suzy on your back, you now seem to have a really nice set of human armor.

"Ryan? What are you doing with these...people? You and that little dog girl...who has a beard now...really shouldn't be dealing with these folks."

Well, it's morning now, and the four of you have been pushed out of that spare room. It's time for you to figure out what to do next...but just as you start thinking, a courier runs up to you.

"Are you Dale Pennymeadow?" he asks.

You say that you are.

"This is for you." He hands you a letter. It reads...

Dear Sir/Madam,

As you are hopefully well aware, it has been a few days since you were called upon to convince Phillip Dollarfield to save our Fair Lady and Future Heir To The Throne, The Princess. It appears that you have yet to do this. We understand that you may be having difficulties with this task, but we stress the importance of it further. If you do not convince Phillip Dollarfield to save our Fair Lady and Future Heir To The Throne, The Princess, we may be forced to take drastic measures. We do not wish to take any drastic measures that do not need to be taken. Take your time, don't get stressed, but their will be consequences if you fail.

Your ruler, The King.

Jerks, what are they doing harassing you? Gotta do sidequests and stuff to prepare for the main plotline.

Heck, even if you'd left as soon as you'd gotten the first letter, you wouldn't have made it to Phillip Dollarfield's yet.

How did they know, anyways? It hasn't been very long, it doesn't seem like there would be time for a spy's letter to have reached the king and him to have sent another back to you. Did he send a warning after the first letter, just in case you were still home when it arrived?

Reply back to them about how you're currently doing missions to obtain assets, which will be used to persuade Dollarfield to get out on the field. This is not a simple "tea-time convincing" job, Dollarfield refuses to go on a quest and you expect that the lack of minions and all the legendary-class weapons that were stolen from his well-trapped home MIGHT have something to do with this (you know he's a vampire and his other friends probably stole his stuff and left when they found out). You also have a lead on a possible conspirator in the kidnapping so you're going to perform a raid for interrogation, which will take about a week.

If the king wants you to go faster then he should send you a crate of various supplies. Otherwise, you're going to do your own quests until you're strong enough to convince Dollarfield to go out into a warzone AND follow in his quest, like any good friend would.

Who the hell does this guy think he is? You're the one busting your ass off to grind so you can get ready for Dollarfield. These things take time, and you can't rush them. You ask the courier to deliver a letter back to the king, and you present to him a written explanation (more of a rant, really), on how important it is for you to be fully prepared for this mission, and if the King doesn't like it, he can get off his royal butt and help you. The courier can't help but feel the sass emitting from the letter, and reads it. He is brought to tears by its beauty, and heads off to deliver it. That should keep the King off your case for awhile.

Well then, what are you going to do today? Visit the circus tent? Go looking for blood berries? Find the mysterious home in the woods?

"These are dangerous fugitive clowns who tried to leave their clowning duties before their clown debts could be payed off. Clowns who leave the circus before they can pay off their clown debts are rogue clowns, and rogue clowns are a threat to all of clownkind,...and mankind too."

"Suck my balloon!" yells one of the chained clowns at Bozo.

"I'll pop your balloon if you don't shut it!" Bozo replies.

"Once you join a clown guild, you've got debts to pay off. In exchange for learning the secret arts of clowning, you need to work at a circus for a number of years. Your total time here is the clown debt."

You ask him if there are any quests the clowns can offer.

You ask him if he has any quests.

"Now that you mmmhhhhmmmmm mention it, I do think I have a job you four could do. You see, these woods are just fuuuuuuuuuull of dangerous spooks at night, and many rogue clowns have taken to hiding in the woods at night to escape their clown duties.

Do not fall for this. With that much money to risk, the ringmaster could save on retrieval costs by drugging any bounty hunter who throws a clown on his doorstep, and turning them into a clown with forged contracts for the circus.

"Sorry man, but we don't really have a store for any of that. See, we've got the big ass walls to protect us from spooks, and whenever we do need new weapons we just head into one of the other towns to buy some during the day."

You're back on the dirt road in the woods. You've been searching for blood berries for some time, away from where Don's berries are, yet have been unable to find any. Eventually you come across the tracks of the carriage from a little while ago, still there and still most likely leading to the house in the woods. Yet you notice something else on the ground...a trail of red juice, leading off deeper into the trees. Janet gives it a whiff, and contemplates the smell while rubbing her hairy chin.

"Yep I know this smell this is a smell that really smells like something I know and that thing is blood berries. This is a blood berry smell."

You're no clown hunter, but if that clown's got supernatural spookness in them, you need to figure it out. You offer to use your healing magic on the bounty hunter, who groans in pain. You're pretty sure he gave consent, and you heal him. The lump on his head gets smaller, and the groggy bounty hunter gets up.

"Thanks mate...but you gotta catch that clown before he gets away...bastard jumped on my head."

With no time to lose, you run as fast as a man with three people clinging to his body can go. The closer you get to the clown, you easier it is to see that there's clearly a spook nature to how the clown runs; it's animalistic, supernatural movement. The clown suddenly stops dead in its tracks, and you accidentally run into it, falling down on the ground with the rest of the group.

You want to know more about what this clown is talking about, but don't want him to get away. The group gets off of your body and lifts their weapons. You tell the clown that you won't attack him if he explains his secrets, because you know there is something strange about him.

"Ho ho, I'm about to tell you about the biggest clown secret out there, ho ho. I was a high ranking clown you know, ho ho, from a circus far from the east, ho ho. That's not important though, ho ho. The biggest clown secret is that when clowns are sleeping, ho ho, we get infused with spook blood! Isn't that hilarious!? Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!

We should totally ask if this clown wants an exorcism or not, how big their debt is, whether they have any line on a way to get clear of their debt, and if they wanna join our group plotting to overthrow the King.

It looks like this clown needs a good old fashioned exorcism, and fast. The only problem is that none of you know how to perform an exorcism. You're expertise is killing spooks, not getting spookness out of people, Suzan and Janet are just kids, and Ryan may know a lot of good songs, but he doesn't have a song rocking enough to remove spookness from someone's blood. Still, you could take the clown to a temple and have some religious folks deal with him. You ask the clown if he would like to get an exorcism.

"Ho ho no no! My spook blood is the only thing helping me escape, ho ho ho!"

The clown starts running away from you.

Now, you head back to the road. The tracks are still there, and you can still follow them to the house if you want, but you've also got lots of blood berries to give to that wizard, and if you want to you can go looking for a temple to look into purging spookness.

We also don't know if he's evil either, so we don't have a reason to kill him yet.

>We also don't know if he's evil either, so we don't have a reason to kill him yet.
He's a vampire and he associates with other vampires, he's evil.

We shouldn't murder him right now, he might only be pretending to be a vampire (we've seen a lot of vampires in our day, is there any way to tell on sight that couldn't be faked?), and if we kill him now we might miss the chance to slay his pals.

Well, no sense giving him the benefit of a spike trap! You can figure out if he's a vampire or a LARP like Suzy later, knock him out and crucify him tomorrow!

... But first, figure out if he's hosting a party now or next month, and then decide if you can set a trap or should take out one while you still can.

You decide to play it safe for now. Something is suspicious about this Bagül person, and you're not positive that he actually is a vampire. He might be another weirdo just pretending to be a vampire, like Suzy. You stay hidden and continue to watch the scene. The butler cleans up the spilled food.

"I apologize sir, but perhaps this place wouldn't be in such disarray if you didn't insist on inviting spooks-"
"What did I tell you about using that word, butler?! We prefer the term persons of supernatural origin."
"I don't believe that is a real term, sir."
"Who's paying your paycheck?"
"You are, sir."
"And am I paying you to question my vampire knowledge?"
"No sir."
"Then clean up this food and get out. And don't even think about cleaning anything else. When my vampire friends get here I want them to feel right at home."
"Just because-"
"Butler do not question my vampire knowledge!"
"Yes sir."

You hide as the butler walks out of the room, and continue to watch Bagül when the butler is out of sight. You see Bagül applying makeup on his face.

So, he's actually a spook disguised as a vampire apparently, so at least there's some good news.
It sounds like he's inviting vampires to his house, and unless those turn out to be vampire wannabes too, you could totally do a stake out, and bust them all.
Although that's assuming all vampires are inherently evil, but it wouldn't hurt to wait and find out. Maybe you can send Suzy in as a spy, since she also considers herself a vampire. She can find out what their potentially evil scheme is.

Though it would be easy to knock this guy out and loot whatever goods he has, the potential to bust some vampires pulls at your heart. You tell Suzy to get off of your back and go talk to Bagül.

"S-sure! Since I'm a v-vampire, I'm sure I can talk to him."

Suzy gets off of you and enters the room with Bagül.

"H-hi there. I'm Suzy the vampire. I'm a real vampire. How are you, f-fellow real vampire?" Suzy is shaking in her boots. Bagül's eyes widen as he looks Suzy up and down.

"You're a vampire enthusiast too?"
"Y-yes. I am so into vampires."
"Me too!"

Bagül smiles widely and grabs Suzy's shoulders.

"Young lady, I just knew word would get around of my vampire soiree. You're a little bit earlier...a few days early, in fact, but I'm sure vampires and vampire enthusiasts alike will find it amazing."
"Are you sure?" asks Suzy, "this place looks kind of...dirty."
"Yes it does, young lady, but between you and me..."

Bagül whispers something into Suzy's ear, and you can see her get visibly pale.

"I uh, have to go to the bathroom!" Suzy yells, "be right back!"

She runs out of the room and back to where you and the others are. She is incredibly panicked, and you ask her what's wrong.

"There...is...a...real...angry...vampire...in...the...basement!"
>>
No. 693578 ID: 2ccbb3

Suzy, please clarify what you said.

Okay, here's the plan: Suzy, go back up and start talking about the party. Janet, pounce on Suzy and start licking her face. Suzy, explain that this is your pet Hairwolf, and that every vampire needs a pet Hairwolf and two dick butlers. When Bagül starts asking about the cock butlers, Suzy will explain that you don't need a cock to watch. Dale and Ryan, come out and claim to perform for the nice man. Whatever he says, proceed to do your best imitations of a chicken and start moving around. Ryan, make sure that Bagül focuses on your insanity. Dale, get behind Bagül.

After this embarrassing play, Dale should be within backstabbing distance of Bagül. Stake him in the dick (use the hammer too) and knock him out.

You ask Suzy for a better explanation of what Bagül told her.

"The guy said that he found a real life vampire in the woods and lured it into the house. He then got all his servants to throw chains on the vampire and drag it down into the basement. Bagül thinks the reason why the vampire got mad and started destroying everything wasn't because it was angry at being captured, but because vampires just like destroyed houses! Now he's trying to ask it advice on how to have a vampire party!"

Please clarify:
<Real angry> "vampire" or a vampire who is both angry and real? In the first case, remind her that it should be "really", as you need an adverb to modify adjectives. In the second case ask her to say "angry real" instead of "real angry" to avoid confusion in the future.

You cast vine whip, and a green root bursts from the ground and slams Bagül right in his balls! How a root could rip through the ground when you're above ground floor is a little confusing, but don't question it, it's magic. Bagül clenches his nuts and falls over.

"I surrender!" Bagül shouts out.

...well that was a quick battle.

VICTOR-

Your victory is interrupted by the butler, who walks in on the scene.

As the battle begins, you realize that you have something in your weapon inventory that doesn't feel normal. Is that a guitar? No, no, impossible! There's nothing there! Just a trick of the mind. You must have been mistaken. You remove the imaginary guitar from your mind. Time to get to fighting.

You point to Ryan, and tell him to play a speedy song. He starts jamming out on the guitar at a speed so quick you swear you're seeing sparks come from his fingers. He also starts singing about needing to go fast. This fills you all with the speed you need to get your turns over the Butler's.

You perform a horizontal vine whip on the butler. The vine bursts from one of the walls and slaps the butler across the chest. That's gotta hurt! The butler doesn't show it though, except for a single tear that rolls from one of his eyes.

Janet bellows out a werewolf's howl! It's pretty adorable coming from a little girl with beard hair, but it's enough to strike a little fear in the heart of the butler.

Suzy pulls back and arrow and fires. It hits the butler right in his shoulder! Damn, he's gonna feel that one in the morning!

Bagül has surrendered, and does nothing.

The Butler grabs Bagül, lifts him into the air, and throws him at Ryan! Ryan falls over from the impact. The Butler then runs over to you, and ignoring the arrow in his shoulder, begins to pummel your face until it's a swelled mess!

This bastard isn't going to smash your face and get away with it! You lift your steak up in the air and go right for his heart in a pain filled frenzy...but not before Ryan plays a really nice power ballad while laying on the ground, which helps you fight through the pain. You then proceed to slam that steak right in the butler's chest! He stumbles back, but somehow he endures...no way it could be the song's doing, so this butler's clearly had some experienced being stabbed before or something.

Janet rushes over to the butler's legs and stabs one of them with her dagger. It brings him down to his knees before he can push her away.

Suzy, embracing her vampire persona, bites his neck as he kneels...it's not very effective, but she's trying.

The butler forces himself to stand, and hobbles over to Bagül. He lifts his master above his head and flings him at you. Bagül slams right in your face, causing some nasty stings. The butler then goes about stomping on Ryan's face with his good leg, and it's far from pretty.

You hear a very uncomfortable shattering from below you that does not sound good.

That shattering noise might be serious, maybe the vampire escaped!

...that actually gives you a great idea.

First, you have Ryan play a slow and sensual, sexy song. The sound of Ryan's voice along with the strumming of his guitar is so overwhelming that, if that feeling below your belt is concerned, it makes all menhoods stand to attention and all womenhoods tremble. The butler is very uncomfortable right now.

Now it's your turn! You cast your vine whip spell yet again, and the vines wrap themselves around his legs, pulling him to the ground. Suzy and Janet rush in on the butler, with Janet continuing to stab his already bleeding leg, while Suzy pushes him towards the door on your command. Letting the vines release him just as he is outside of the room, you close the door on him.

The butler bangs on the door to be let back in. "The vampire, it's escaped! It's coming up the stairs now! Everything I did was to protect-"

He is cut off by a violent ripping noise.

VICTORY!

What delicious coolness fills you all, especially Suzy...but it is soon followed by an all too familiar chill.

The door is smashed down as a VAMPIRE enters. It looks around at all of you, blood still dripping from its mouth. Looking outside of the room, you see what remains of the butler. Clenched in the hand of his corpse, you can see a strange gray orb.

"You four...you were the ones that distracted these fools long enough for my escape."

The vampire walks over to Bagül and lifts him into the air.

"H-hey now!" says Bagül, "I'm a vampire, j-just like you! I'm cool. I'm hip. I j-just needed you around so I c-could get more advice on my v-vampire party. I kept you w-well fed with all those dead s-servants, right?"

The vampire looks away from Bagül and back to you.

"As a reward for helping me, I will allow the four of you to leave. As for the master of this house...I'm going to show him what a real vampire party is like. Now go."

This vampire looks like a tough bastard.

The urge to kill this vampire is strong, but before you even think about how you're going to split this bastard in half, you want to investigate that strange orb in the butler's hand. You call your party to get back onto your body, and then tell the vampire you are going to leave.

"Good..."

You step out of the room and pick up the orb. It feels surprisingly squishy. You squeeze it with your hand, and then look out to the windows to see that the fog that was around the mansion is starting to dissipate and let in sunlight. Squeezing the orb again seems to cause the fog to roll back in. This must be some sort of magic orb...or some really advanced fog making system. You look back into the room where the vampire prepares to bite down into Bagül, and see that the only window in the room is being blocked by heavy shades.

Fighting this bastard head on is a dangerous idea, so you decide that it might be best to trick the vampire into going outside while he's safe from the sun in the fog, and then use the orb to give this guy a lethal dose of vitamin D.

You tell the vampire, just as he's about to kill Bagül, that another servant had escaped and is running out through the fog right now. The vampire puts Bagül down and looks down at you.

"I thought for sure that this fool fed all of his servants to me already. Tell me, why are you assisting me so much?"

You kneel down, and say that you are vampire enthusiasts just looking out for vampire kind.

Vampire enthusiasts? Like this guy?" the vampire says, pointing at Bagül. You tell him that Bagül and everyone else from this mansion are dicks.

"Yes, that is true."

The vampire walks out of the room and looks through the windows, seeing that the fog is still there. This fills the vampire with enough confidence to walk outside of the building. You go down the stairs to watch him, and just when it seems that he's far away enough from the front door, without a moment to spare, you squeeze the orb, and the sun shines through the dissipating fog. The vampire's scream pierces your ears, as you smell the all too familiar stench of cooking bat. The vampire falls to the ground, and crawls to the front door, but is unable to enter it.

"You...assholes...

The vampire turns to dust.

You and Suzy are just killing it come it comes to coolness now! In no time, you and her are sure you'll be seen as wanted members of society! But now's not the time to daydream about that, you've got to interrogate Bagül. You go back into the mansion and up the stairs to Bagül's room, where he's still cowering on the ground. You surround him, and poke him to get his attention.

"...w-what do you want from me?"

"Is this about the party!? It's not like I can have it now, everyone who worked for me is dead...and I'm pretty sure that vampire was lying about vampires liking destroyed houses! I'm just really big into vampires, alright?! Just leave me alone and I'll give you 300 gold, alright?!"

You take the 300 gold from him, but you're not satisfied. You want to know everything he knows about vampires and his vampire party, how he found that one vampire, just everything he can say. Bagül spits out a lot of nonsense, but here's a list of things you know for certain are true.

1. Vampires are high-tier spooks, and were once one of the greatest threats to this country
2. Vampires are weak to attacks to the heart, garlic (they're just really allergic to the stuff), and holy powers, but can still put up a good fight even if you have or do all these things.
3. The sun is their greatest nemesis, and it will destroy most vampires if they are caught by surprise by it. If properly prepared though, they can fight in the sunlight, though they will be significantly weaker
4. Vampires have beast-forms, and more human-like forms for espionage

You learn that party wise, he was going to have his butler invite all the vampires he could find to the party. Though it's hard to just find and talk to a vampire in this country, in the enemy country, where the princess has been captured, they are more prominent and easy to find. Bagül suspects though that his butler wasn't actually inviting any vampires over, in hindsight.

When it comes to the vampire he captured, that was just dumb luck. To better get into the role of a vampire, Bagül had his butler craft a magical series of runs that would create fog around his house. The vampire saw this fog while trying to escape the sun and rushed to it to hide, and from there the rest is history.

So Bagül's house acre is basically one big vampire deathtrap?

Oh hell yes you so need to keep this mansion! You could lure the vampires inside, wait until dawn in a panic room, and then blow up the mansion and de-activate the fog machines!

Or just keep the mansion and lure unsuspecting vampires into the general vicinity, picking them off one at a time with the sun.

Two more chances to live, Bagül. Start yappin'.

You still want more out of Bagül, and press him to keep talking.

"What more do you want?! You want my carriage? I mean you'll need to feed the horses, but you can take it if you want! Is it info? I've already told you everything I know!"

Out of the blue, you ask if there would be any way to resurrect the butler. Bagül, and the rest of your party members, look at you confused.

"What like...summoning his ghost?" asks Bagül, "or bringing him fully to life? Because unless you're a god, the only way you're going to get him back is by turning him into an undead spook."

Look's like it's time to kill this fucker!

...wait...on second thought, maybe you're getting a little carried away here. Your party watches you, waiting to see what you'll do next. Bagül closes his eyes, waiting for the beating of his life. You tell Bagül that instead of stealing all of his stuff, you are going to keep Bagül as a prisoner so he can't try any of this tricky business again. Bagül is at first confused, and doesn't seem to understand how serious you are. You send your party off of your body to go looking for rope, and when they finally return with some and get back to their places on your body, you bind Bagül and carefully place him at the very top of your head, like a hat.

You now have a Bagül equipped.

"This isn't fair how come I need to share my spot with him?" asks Janet as she clings to the back of your head. "He's touching my beard and it feels really nice if I covered him with razors and then just rubbed myself all over him I would be shaved so hard you wouldn't even believe it, make that his new life now."

Bagül is flabbergasted at this turn of events.

"What are you going to do with me as your prisoner?! I'm not going to be any use to you, I can't even fight!"

You ignore that question to think about what your next move will be. You do have the bag of blood berries, and that wizard back in Snickersberg probably still wants them. There's also all that weird clown business going around you might want to look into. Or maybe you'll just use Bagül's horses and travel to another town on your epic quest to grind cool points like a maniac until you're able to defeat Phillip Dollarfield!

You decide that keeping Bagül around as a hat isn't going to work out, and the best thing to do is to bring Bagül to the local dungeon. You approach the gate of the dungeon, where two heavily armored guards stand.

"Oi, what's this going on here?" says one of the guards.

You explain to them that Bagül is a vampire enthusiast who allowed an outrageous number of people to get killed to feed a captured vampire. True, you never did go into the basement to confirm it, but you're pretty sure a lot of people died.

"Yeah, it's so true," says Janet, "I saw so many dead bodies and they were so spooky I had to cry so hard that I cut out my own eyeballs I'm basically blind now these eyes are fake my beard is real though does it make you hot under the collar?"

"Um...yeah, what Janet said!" yells Suzy.

"Dudes, trust us here. Brothers, we wouldn't lie. You know me, I'm your good pal Ryan Rockstone."

Bagül simply tries to brush off the heckling.

The guards look at each other, and then back to you. They seem to be judging you to determine how truthful your comments really are.

"Oi...alright, we'll look into it. Hand the guy over."

Bagül is taken off your head and thrown into one of the cells. The guards say they will send some people over to investigate the mansion in the woods, and thank you for your service to the community.

Well, fuck those other notices, it's time to turn in those berries and learn some magic. You head off to a blue tower in town with a sign that says Chumbles The Wise: Wizard at Law and Associates and enter it. An old man brimming with the scent of magic stands before you. This magic smells a lot like soap.

AWW! I knew the Blood Berries would be coming soon- oh no, you're two weirdos, a disgrace, and a nerd. Lame.

You explain that you've brought in the blood berries he wanted, and want a magical lesson from him. He takes the blood berries out of your hands and inspects them.

"Uuuuggggghhh, fiiiiiiiine. Let me show you what I can teach. My magic's all based on coolness though, and let's face it, none of you are that cool. You sure you don't want to learn lame people magic, what do they call that now? Oh yes, druid magic. You sure you don't want to learn some of that?"

You tell him you're positive you want a spell taught by him. Chumbles sighs and pulls out a list of what he can teach your party members right now. It seems that each spell requires that the party member meets a minimum level of coolness to use it.

>Dazzle Sparks: Draw the enemies attention: 10 CP.
>Shameful Stench: Makes enemies avoid you or someone else: 20 CP.

You tell Chumbles to teach Ryan the awful familiar spell. "Dude," says Ryan, "this'll be great. I'm gonna have a little mouth buddy!"

"Come with me, nerd, this is going to take awhile."

---

After many hours of what sounds like tongues and yelling, Ryan has learned Awful Familiar. To celebrate, Ryan casts the spell, and a large floating mouth the size of your head appears by his side.

"WOWY ZOWY WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE I'M SURE WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE GREAT FRIENDS! HEY CAN WE GO TO THE THEATER LATER? I LOVE THE THEATER! PEOPLE SAY I CHEW TOO LOUD BUT THEY GOTTA LEARN HOW TO LIVE A LITTLE! HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO THE THEATER? THEY SAY IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL-"

Ryan gets rid of the familiar. You thank Chumbles for his services and leave with the party. The next step of your quest is to investigate the strange, semi-sticky looking hole in the Snickersberg wall. You wait by it, but there are still a couple of hours before midnight. While waiting, you doze off.

You are now dreaming.

You make your presence known to the voice on the other side of the wall by greeting them, signaling the rest of your party to stay quiet for now.

"Like, cool. Now just like, do what comes naturally, I don't have all night."

You're not exactly sure what to do next. It's not like you can just "use" the hole, there are children present. You decide to get creative, and signal Ryan to cast his Awful Familiar spell. Ryan does so, and that massive mouth appears.

"WOWY ZOWY WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! WHAT'S THIS WE HAVE HERE, A GLORY HOLE? I HOPE I FIT IN, I'M PRETTY BIG!"
"What? Who is...just someone use the hole!" yells the voice from the other side.
"WILL DO!"

The familiar floats over to the hole in the wall, and sticks its tongue through it. The familiar's tongue seems to be tugged by whoever's on the other side of the wall. You hear a wet rubbing noise before the familiar is let go, and you see that there is a bright green goo on the familiar's tongue.

"WOWY ZOWY, I'M TRIPPING BALLS!HOW DO I EVEN SEE I DON'T HAVE ANY EYES!DO YOU FEEL ALL THESE EYEBALLS IN MY MOUTH?!THEY'RE LIKE PEELED GRAPES!"

Why are you drugging everyone who sticks their stick into that glory hole?

It didn't look like your familiar was damaged in any way, just really tripping eyeballs, so I don't think you should be too hard on her.
Ask her why she's drugging people though, and what that stuff even is.

Yes, which is why we should recruit this irresponsible adult to carry more party members.

You ask the girl why she's drugging people for a glory hole.

"Like, I'm not just drugging people for fun. This is like, research. I'm experimenting, learning more about the druid arts. I think that's fun."

You ask her what this green neon stuff is.

"It's sap from the rave tree. It, like, doesn't grow here a lot, but I...found...some of the seeds and I wanted to see what its sap does. So I thought, you know, the glory hole would be a good way to test things out. Most people don't like hanging out with druids, so I thought, they don't need to see me on the other side, they get touched down there, and I can see what happens when the sap gets on skin...guess it's hallucinogenic."

Well, as a responsible authority figure we should probably still tell Don, but I don't see too much wrong with it.

Tell her that is awesome and all (really, it is), but she should probably mention that sort of stuff to the people she is applying it to beforehand. Consent and all that.

You know what? You're going to be nice to this girl. You see
something you like in her. In fact, she may very well be a potential recruit. You tell the girl to calm down, and that you're actually impressed by her scientific pursuits.

"Like...thanks?"

You then tell her that you will need to tell Don about this, and she should be telling others about her plans before rubbing mysterious goo on their bodies, but if she wants to maybe joi- SUDDENLY, RAVE TREE SAP RIGHT IN THE FACE.

The girl hurls the sap from her jar at all of you, pulls herself away from the vines on her legs, and then runs for it.

"Like, sorry, but that doesn't sound cool!"

You start to feel funny.
Why are all your teeth talking to you? Should you listen to what they have to say?
Janet's beard is stretching to infinity. You gotta help her trim it with your hands, which are now razors.
Suzy's turning into a giant! Maybe we should hug her legs so she'll shrink.
Ryan's a blood banana now. You must eat him, the giant nose demands it.

You speak a fish language now, but you are able to tell the rest of your party to go after the girl. Janet has already turned into a bird and flown off, Suzy has embraced her rightful place on the throne of the snail kingdom, and Ryan needs to go on a vision quest.
You try to sit down and wait this out, but suddenly, a Spook appears! He's trying to give you financial advice, but you forgot your checkbook and now you're in your underwear.

Knock the spook unconscious. Do not kill anyone while you're drugged, you could murder an innocent in reality.

... But yeah, Vine Whip + Headbutt. Make them squeal and pass out from the pain.

No, no, you say! You tell the spook to stay back, as you don't want him to steal your identity, but it's too late, you are already a lawyer and the case has been settled! You scream into the night!

---

When you finally come to, the sun is beating down your face. The rest of your party is by your side, each one of them quiet, trying to remember what happened last night. The fact that you weren't actually attacked by a spook while you were all drugged is incredibly lucky. But you may not be out of danger just yet, as you hear footsteps approaching you. You pull yourself to your feet just as the intruder comes forward.

"Hey guys. It's me, Don the Druid, remember? I saw some bright green go near here that looked a little bit like rave tree sap, and decided to check it out...seriously though, did you steal my rave tree seeds? Because my seeds are missing, and this looks pretty suspicious from where I'm standing.”

Seems like the only good solution is to rat out the girl. She seemed to know Don, so maybe he'll go easy on her.

You tell Don exactly what happened, no lies and or held info.

"...wait...green haired girl...green haired girl...damn. I know who that is. Cindy, right? She's an outcast from Coastberg. I found her trying to survive out in the woods on her own, and offered to take her in as a student. It didn't last long though, she has the trait that goes directly against my teachings; a lust for coolness. I tried to tell her that she didn't need to be cool, and that my teachings weren't meant for coolness, but she didn't listen. She ran off sometime later. She must have stolen my seeds to try teaching herself the druidic arts on her own. That could be...pretty bad."

"Well, we went up a few coolness levels ourselves.

Busy week. Had to raid a mass murderer's den.

... Can Janet and Suzy learn ONE spell each if we help you with Cindy? Please?"

You briefly explain some of your exploits to Don since you last me, such as visiting a goblin village, Janet getting lycanthropy, recruiting Ryan (who "digs Don's hobo look"), learning terrible clown secrets, and investigating the mansion in the woods that Don told you about, which turned out to hold a serial killer and a vicious vampire. It's been a busy few days. Point being, you and your friends have gotten cooler. Despite this, you ask Don if he can teach a spell to one of you if you help him deal with Cindy.

"Uuuuuhh...you know how I feel about that...but...you do still seem like good people, all things considered. I mean going to a goblin village without slaughtering everyone and taking down a vampire loving fanatic? I have some questions about letting a little girl drink werewolf blood, but alright. If you come with me and help get that sap away from Cindy, I'll teach some more druidic spells. I have a good feeling that Cindy might be heading back to Coastberg. We should go as soon as possible."

WARNING. GOING TO COASTBERG NOW WILL START THE NEXT CHAPTER OF PHILLIP DOLLARFIELD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SAVING THE PRINCESS. ARE YOU READY TO GO TO THE NEXT CHAPTER?

You've outgrown Snickersberg and your nameless hometown. It's time for you and your crew to move on to bigger and better things...well, slightly bigger and marginally better things. You tell Don that you're ready to go to Coastberg with him.

"Great. The road to Coastberg is a little long, but we'll be able to make it by foot. Let's get going."

Making sure all your party members are secured safely to your body, you follow Don out of the woods and onto the dirt road. Small remnants of neon green go line the pathway down to Coastberg.

Janet shakes your head violently. "Aw yeah this is gonna be so great I hear the beach at Coastberg is so good we can catch some waves and catch some crabs and meet cute boys and catch some crabs and it will be great I am a werewolf also did you remember that please feel my beard!"

Suzy's hold on your back tightens. "I don't think I tan well, we should really pick up some sunscreen while we're there, please. I don't think I want to be a pretend vampire anymore but I also don't want my skin to turn bright red. I like my paleness."

Ryan's hold around your chest is pretty comfortable. "Dude, I hope there's some beach parties going on. The ladies like dudes who can play a guitar. Man, imagine how cool that would be, getting popular at the beach."

Don scoffs at this talk of cool. "If only Phillip Dollarfield cared as much about saving the princess as you all do about being cool."
