Lairs and Liars

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 34501

Suddenly you feel your legs give out from beneath you, and you crash to the cold, hard ground. You look up to see Astra looming above you. "What are you doing!?" she demands of you. "Now the Dragon knows we're here!"

"I...uh...saw something," you try and explain.

"Oh, you're seeing things again, are you? That's just great."

You try and stand up but Astra trips you again.

She shakes her head. "What now? Huh!? WHAT NOW!? Any suggestions?"

Again, another failed attempt to stand.

That's when Fred catches up to you two. "Where are you bouncing off to, boobity booby Boobs?" he worredly inquires of Astra. "Don't mind him" - he gestures back at the Dragon's lair - "he's always a grump when you catch him after he's just woke up. But he's had his coffee now, so it's all good."

"Oh, I thought he was angry to see me again," Astra replies. "But I'm sure if I go back, his eyes will have cleared and he'll surely recognize my boo...er, me."

Fred looks shocked. "I thought you've never met a real Dragon before!"

"No, that's just what I told you as a ploy to get to it's lair. Cause you're an idiot, and you seem to be lacking any kind of short term memory. I told you the Dragon was the one who chained me to the wall on our first encounter, remember? Of course not. Infact, you probably won't remember a thing I'm saying right now."

Fred stares at Astra's mid- section. "Did you say something?"

"No."

"Good, cause I wasn't listening. Listen, once you get to know the Dragon you'll learn that he's really just a sweet, scaly, fire-breathing teddy bear. He does want you dead, now that I think (of it)...though. He didcommand me to kill you, I think. Yes, that's right. He says you're a prude and you're stuck up and you're just an all around mean nasty bitch...and you've got big boobies. Hmmm, maybe if you declare your undying fealty to him he'll change his mind?" Astra shakes her head at that comment. Hmmm, what to do...

  1. There it is again! You dash off after whoever or whatever you've been seeing...
  2. Astra tries to improvise some kind of disguise with the materials at hand before returning to the Dragon's Lair.
  3. Astra tries to improvise some kind of disguise with the materials at hand. (Alternate version.)
