You ignore the Ice Dragon Statue and push Whatever in front of the doorway to block it instead.
You then sit on Whatever.
Your combined weight triggers a pressure plate, turning the pit into a giant wind tunnel.
It sucks in the dragon, the rubble, and all the pointless copies of the inventory list. A barrier surrounds the switch itself, preventing you from being sucked in.
The wind soon stops after sucking everything down the pit. You are safe now.
But your Point Meter went up by 5! This isn't good! By gaining another 10 points, your Defense has gone up by 20!
This sounds like an excellent idea! You get to work on it right away!
The Pointlessness meter is complete! All you need to do is turn it on and set it to track your pointlessness!
But then you suddenly decide that your escapades thus far might prove entertaining to an omniscient observer! You immediately put down your Pointless Meter and decide to pointlessly forget about everything you have done so far!
After a pointless sequence of events that you leave out because it would be very entertaining to omniscient observers, you arrive in the cyborg lich Konka Rar's castle. You have pointlessly decided to steal his vacuum cleaner. You hope he doesn't have one, that would just make this exercise more pointless.
You have no idea how eating a vomit bagel cake would cause a paradox, but as there isn't one here anyways, it's pointless to eat it in any case, so you do.
You sing a song about the pointless adventures which you have completely forgotten about.
Your singing draws the attention of Konka Rar's guards!
Two Cyborg Skeletons attack!
There is no ice dragon statue here, so you attempt to push it onto the skeletons. Unsurprisingly, this has no effect.
While you wait for Whatever to take his turn, you issue orders to the Ice Dragon Statue, which isn't here and probably wouldn't be taking a turn now if it was here and almost definitely wouldn't listen to you if it was.
You make a mental note to prepare for battle once this battle ends.
You come up with a pointlessly convoluted plan, and explain it to Whatever in a way which is pointlessly confusing for him to understand.
Whatever completely ignores your plan and begins square-dancing with one of the skeletons. Perfect! Explaining your plan was utterly pointless!
You can't do any of that while you're engaged in battle. So of course, that's exactly what you attempt to do!
The skeleton that isn't busy square-dancing with Whatever gets confused by your pointless antics.
You decide that the ice dragon accepted your proposal.
Then you decide that it rejected you.
Then you... look, you get the picture. This only serves to confuse the Cyborg Skeleton further.
It attacks its square-dancing fellow Cyborg Skeleton!
This provokes a counter-attack.
Now they're distracted! This would be the ideal time to strike!
So you won't. Instead, you believe the battle to be over, so you prepare for battle!

Kgummy Wrote:Help yourself and Dragon up to ride on Dragon, so you can go forth and see Dragon and Dragon.
Assume pointlessly that each Dragon refers to the least likely Dragon, especially if that particular Dragon would make no sense in that context. Also assume pointlessly that at least one of them refers to an inanimate object, and thus pointlessly assume that you are required to assume that it refers to a different inanimate object.

Rather than covering your bases, this is likely to simply waste time and confuse everyone involved, and it will require the expenditure of mental effort that would probably be better spent elsewhere, so it's quite pointless.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
