The Shop

Are we ready for a boss battle, guys?!

I'm wondering if it's possible for us to find equipment in the castle before kicking this thing's ass. But then, if too much time passes while we're messing around in the castle, the wards could give out and then we'd be REALLY screwed... welp.

> Put familiars in passive mode as a display of solidarity
> "We're not here to hurt anyone. Let's go."

>You can be a hero. Save them, save them all! Then demand a hefty reward.

>"nah, we good" Violently play sax

>Actually, why don't you just take this letter and give it to the recipient
>goodbye

let's cut a deal with the sky-serpent. if we let it out it joins our party and delivers the message for us

>"nah, we good" Violently play sax

> Put familiars in passive mode as a display of solidarity

You play your sax, and on command your familiars descend beside you like domestic pets.

In the distance, the large serpent momentarily looks your way, only to promptly return to its attempt at breaking and entering.

It doesn't seem like your music will have any effect on this one...

>Actually, why don't you just take this letter and give it to the recipient

Gatekeep:
"You can't mean Lady Marie?"

The Gatekeep takes a pause to consider.

"You'll find the Lady in the castle."


Gatekeep:
"Good luck!"

The Gatekeep has headed for battle.

... What, no boss battle!? WE NEED TO GET OUR MURDER ON.

>Lady Marie First, then boss later. It'll be more dramatic if we wait a while.

>WIEW at the speed of runny spaghetti sauce into the castle wall and obliterate it. Also Play two saxes this time.

>Remember, we still have three jobs after this one! We can't take too long here, so let's hurry to the castle to deliver the letter

Does anyone find it odd that the shadow creatures responded to our shadow sax? We didn't order shadow saxes, but somehow both the monsters and our instruments seem to remember made of compatible stuff.

We should head over and crush that mega-beast.

Maybe we can tame it like a Pokemon master

>Remember, we still have three jobs after this one! We can't take too long here, so let's hurry to the castle to deliver the letter

>WIEW at the speed of runny spaghetti sauce into the castle wall and obliterate it. Also Play two saxes this time.

You WIEW into the castle wall as fast as you can.




Your saxophones ring through the air, twice as loud as before.
Surely that will be enough to attract whoever's attention you're trying to get...




A Boss Creature appears, accepting your challenge!

I think Lady Marie is either the True Boss or no longer alive.

> SUMMON FAMILIARS TO ACTION

>sweep 'em up, they look dirty

>seduce monster with your saxxy skills like doot doot.

Knock out its teeth with something

...We are going to die, aren't we?

>Perform the saddest saxophone you can to commemorate our impending death.

>Boss Monster: Be brought to tears by emotional song.

>Why must we fight? Try to convince the Beast to become your minion.

or

>Pitifully weep in the corner and wait to be rescued.

or

>Sound the trumpet (saxophone) of war! Summon your minions. This battle will be legendary.

Put the head of that deer bust on your head. This is clearly the most important step.

Just rip that big tooth right off.

your garlic will kill it

> Roll a single d20. The higher the number, the more random actions we all perform at once.

Choke it with the sax.

> Roll a single d20. The higher the number, the more random actions we all perform at once.

You roll a 16.

> SUMMON FAMILIARS TO ACTION

>seduce monster with your saxxy skills like doot doot.

>Why must we fight? Try to convince the Beast to become your minion.

You blare your sax, calling your party to action.
Your music however only serves to agitate the Boss Creature further.

>sweep 'em up, they look dirty

Knock out its teeth with something

Choke it with the sax.

Your attacks aren't very effective...


The Boss Creature retaliates!



Two of your Lesser Wings have perished.
