Ah, it appears to be a pseudo-option menu thing with choices hidden in the narrative. Unique, and intriguing.

Nah, we are a [dragon] who is going to [pop] out of the portal.

I like the concept.

Yes. That is more like it. I am - *AHEM* - HEEEAHAHAH! I am Underheart, overlord extraordinaire. Or, you know, I would be if I had a villainous lair. Or had committed any villainous deeds. Really, it's a startup sort of thing. Speaking of which!

This is the Temple of Torment. I don't know what its true name is, but once I [conquer] it and make it into my lair, it will definitely be called the Temple of Torment. I would, of course, rid it of any useless assets - see that helpful [sign]? Helpful signs are definitely not my style. I prefer spike traps and giant [monsters], that sort of thing.

Sign

Sign

: "Welcome to the Water Temple! Watch out for [monsters] while solving the puzzles!"

See, now what kind of evil villain has a lair called the Water Temple? That's boring. When I [conquer] it, I'll take that sign down and give it a better name.

[Monsters]

((Are we going to give commands like this the whole ISG?))

[Toaster]

((I would assume.  I'm guessing FFS wanted to split the difference between an open suggestion game (a la TWoOtA) and something that gets railroaded (Problem Sleuth at the end).  He opined on this sort of thing somewhere in the TWoOtA thread.))

But of course. What lair would be complete without monsters? It is not yet my lair, though, so this fell Water Drake does not yet obey me. Regrettably, the situation is even more dire: it looks like it might want to eat me.

At the sight of its eyes, I am paralyzed by fear. There are many courses this fight could run, but I can only imagine two:

My [staff] looks fancy but is not so useful as it seems. The tip of it is an ice-imbued gem. This sounds frightening and impresses the villagers, but the truth is it is harmless unless I touch it to my assailant's skull. When I'm that close, the battle is already lost.

These [flames] are deeply woven throughout my genetic code. As a young child, I burned down my own residence. No one would take me in. Bloodthirst strengthens them further, but I have doubts about their effect on a Water Drake. The Elemental Dodecagon is not in my favor here.

I feel there are other things I can do, but I cannot think of them as the drake is approaching even as I speak to you. Oh, if only I had someone who could think for me! If only I could leave ingenuity to them and be bold as I need. This restrictive system of binary, tertiary, and quaternary decisions will not serve me well as an overlord.
