Magequest - A Text-and-Image Adventure

[Sir Sivelos]

Well... He would, but...



The ARCHMAGE seems to be up to something. His powerful magics seethe through the room, and then...!



After a whole mess of foreshadowing, introducing, and un-introducing, the MAGE finally reaches the top of the stairs. It seems he had been climbing the stairs the WHOLE TIME! But enough of that.

THE MAGE stands in front of a WIZARD DOOR. You can tell it is a WIZARD DOOR because of the magical rune that will probably have no significance later on that is emblazoned on its enchanted oak wood. The MAGE can hear faints sounds in the door. He is nervous, hyped, and freaking out all in one!

...However, he seems to be a bit hesitant to go in this time. Now that he thinks about it, in his hype, he didn't realize he had arrived early! A voice in his head tells him NOT TO GO IN UNTIL TOLD. What should he do now?

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Mage: Re-introduce the Rouge, then abruptly cut off the Rouge's adventures when your Archmage calls you.

[Sir Sivelos]

You are once again the SILLY STRANGER.

To be specific, you are now THE BARD, the third hero of this comic. You are a fond collector of silly hats and musical instruments, mainly of the strings variety. You are able to soothe even the most righteously furious beasts with a mystic song, and it is said you are in possession of a SPECIAL SONNET that is said to inflict unspeakably horrible fates onto all who hear it.

...He is a quirky man, the BARD.

In the background are two things; an IRON BIN OF INTRIGUE, and the door leading out of your peaceful WOODLAND COTTAGE.

What will you do?

[Wander]

((YOU DID IT YES ;u;))

Bard: Check the IRON BIN OF INTRIGUE. o3o

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

THE BARD: Plunge into the IRON BIN OF INTRIGUE and discover its FABULOUS RICHES. Literally headfirst, of course.

[Sir Sivelos]

But of course.

Even though you shut out your only source of light - and oxygen - by sticking your head in your IRON BIN OF INTRIGUE, you are still able to identify things inside.

Inside the IRON BIN OF INTRIGUE are as follows: your LUTE, which you use to dish out some the whimsical rhymes and sick beat(down)s on your foes and clients. You also notice a SILLY HAT, a SILLIER HAT, and a legendary SILLIEST HAT. But the main attraction is your SPECIAL SONNET - a song you dare not touch.

[Wander]

Bard: Wear the legendary SILLIEST HAT. DO IT.

[Sir Sivelos]

You graciously don the WARHELMET OF ZILLYWEN. Legends speak that this belonged to a PARTICULARLY DELIGHTFUL GENERAL who slew the TWENTY FIFTH THROUGH SIXTH DEMON CASTITES, which alone would be an impossible feat without the protective snugness of this legendary hat.

It is so delightful and silly.

[Wander]

Bard: Go outside. Gogogogogogo.

[Sonic20]

Bard: Before you go outside, quickly equip your lute.
