Turn 19Kilakan (Kilaran)grab crossbow, bolts, and a hammer, then bash down locked door with the hammer.
You arm yourself. (1)(2) You manage to stab your left arm with a crossbow bolt. You try to pull out the arrow, but break it off, leaving the head in. Wonderful. It will be extremely difficult to use the hammer or crossbow now. [Auto-Fail] Now, you don't have the strength to bash down the door. You will have to figure out how it normally opens, seeing as it lacks so much as a keyhole.
Tehstafan (Roderick)OHSHI- don't say anything. Try and survey, quietly, the surroundings on the cave, perhaps if there's a trappable area, I can set a trap for it, make slaying it that much easier.
(5) A huge boulder sits threateningly loose above the mouth of the cave. You could easily leverage it out of its footing with a large branch, if not your bare hands. You also have the fortune of seeing the left horn of the dragon is missing. No doubt about it- this is Jim. Now how to get yourself off of his head...
RandomNumberGeneratorRight... well... Words can be twisted and intentions can be hidden. I would know. I desperately wanted to avoid this, but...
Slay the demon!
Enough of this riddle crap. You're not taking shit from anyone. You're taking
names- and blood, or ichor, or magma, or whatever comes out of demons when you cut them. Possible bloody flaming ichorous bile. But that train of thought can't lead anywhere pleasant, nor useful. So you strike at the demon with your cursed blade. (6) Perhaps with the power of prohecy, for you are no swordsman, you strike true so that the blade shatters, freeing your hand. With a burst of fire and painful noise, the remains of the Demon's chitinous form are sprayed about the room. You're not sure if the demon is destroyed, but it sure is defeated. It seems he was intent on taking you with him- the castle begins to crumble.
Jetsquirrel (?)Learn the "Drunken Style : Fire Monkey dance"( meaning i will act like a monkey and spew out fire in all directions)
Wait... what did you come here for again? Oh, never mind. Terrible demon shrieks can be given attention later. You needn't learn though- you are a wizened master! (6) You demonstrate your finely honed Fire Monkey Dance technique to the crowd that you've attracted, flipping through your remembered stances, and sending flares of fire into the sky. But the commoners aren't the only people whose attention you've gained. Three men step forward in heavy, hoodless robes with small whiskey kegs on their belts, blue and white, divided through the middle by a golden stripe. They are masters of the "Drunken Style: Sea Lion Flip", an ancient and zealous clan. (?) "This is a city of the Sea Lions." Says one that appears to be their leader. "There can be only one clan! I challenge you to a duel!"
Wimdit (Laodike)I know! I find some tongs and dunk the safe in various containers full of chemicals back in the alchemistry room. Hopefully one of them will weaken it or something.
Don't solve puzzles. That would be silly! You resolve to be extremely careful about it, of course, for fear of damaging the contents. You grab some tongs, and dip the safe into a random vat that's large enough. (1) You suppose that that vat doesn't like
ferrous things. A ton of yellow gas starts spilling out, and you choke and drop the safe- which hopefully hasn't been destroyed. (5) Fortunately, aside from not being air, the gas seems harmless.
