After careful consideration you decide you're not some pansy ass who's afraid of a little girl and a stupid sword. You walk brazenly up to the center of the temple, smiling, arms outstretched. "So, what's a little girl like you doing SKULLking around in here? Are you lost."

The girl smiles slightly at your skeleton pun. It feels good to have true genius appreciated for what it is.

"I'm not lost, I live here." She says, her friendly optimism weirdly off brand with the giant Indianna Jones temple thing she apparently lives in.

"All by yourself?" You ask.

"Not ALL by myself, my friend Char is here too." She says.

Suddenly a deep booming voice fills the temple. Somewhere between genuinely intimidating and Saturday morning cartoon villain.

"I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND HUMAN GIRL-THING!! CHARBIDYAN HAS NO FRIENDS!!! CHARBYDIAN KNOWS ONLY ENEMIES AND TOOLS!!"

The little girl leans over and whispers conspiratorially, "You'll have to forgive Char. He's a little shy."

>>3180907

>Hi Charbydian, nice to meet you.

>>3180921

Whisper back to her:
>"Don't worry, I'm used to people that are too shy to make friends. I actually met one of them not too long ago, a werewolf. You might like her."

>>3180934
Shit, wrong post, I meant to reply to >>3180907, but I guess that was obvious.

>>3180907
>>Hi Charbydian, nice to meet you.

"Hi Charbydian, nice to meet you." You say.

"BEGONE KNAVE, THE GREAT CHARBYDIAN HAS NO USE FOR YOU."

You wink to the little girl, and whisper, "Don't worry I've dealt with shy people before, like this one girl who tried to murder me, she's nice you might want to meet her sometime."

The girl frowns, "I wish I could, but I can't leave this place."

"Why not?" You ask.

"If I try to go to far the shadowmen try to get me. Char scares them away I think. That's why I have to stay with him."

"He protects you?" You ask.

"I PROTECT NOTHING, THEY ARE SIMPLY TO COWARDLY TO FACE ME."

"Okay." You're not sure if you believe him or not.

"So what's the deal with this place?" You ask.

"I'm not really sure, a long time ago some people came to my house and took me away. They put me in a bag so I couldn't see where we were going, but when the took me out of it I was here. This place was full of a bunch of people in funny looking clothes. They spoke this language I didn't understand but when I heard it my head hurt and I felt dizzy. After a while they held me down on the ground and stabbed the sword into my belly. It hurt really bad, then everything went black."

"Jesus Fu-, I mean, I'm really sorry to hear that." You say.

The girl continues "It's okay, after a while I woke up. There first thing I saw was my own dead body which scared me at first but then I got used to it. Then I looked around and saw that all the people in funny clothes were dead. I think Char killed them."

Char makes no comment.

"Anyway I tried to leave but whenever I got too far from the room the shadow people come and try to catch me. So I was stuck here, after a while the bodies all rotted away. That was a really long time ago. Now it's just me and Char." The girl looks at you

"It rotted away. I'm a ghost I think. I don't really know much about this sort of stuff."

"So couldn't you just get Mr. CHARBYDIAN to come with you? To keep the shadowmen away?" You ask.

The girl looks over at the sword. "Char is stuck inside the sword. He wants to leave but he can't. He said it's something the people in the funny cloaks did to him." The girl puts on her best puppy dog eyes. "But now that you're here Mr. you can take the sword with you and we can all leave this place! Please!!"

Reason with the CHARBYDIAN. Agree with him that he could, he is so powerful and we are pathetic little wimp. But this dungeon is not the place for little girl.

You work to grab hold of the sword, and begin pulling it out of the ground. As you do you feel CHARBYDIAN's voice inside your head, his mind pushing against yours.

**I WARNED YOU**

As you grip the hilt and yank you feel enormous pressure coming from inside your head, CHARBYDIAN trying to destroy you from with in, but you give it your all as your vision starts to blur.

Just. A. Bit. MORE.

**YOU'RE MINE NOW MORTAL**

The sword pulls free of the ground and you fly backwards flinging the sword overhead, unable to prevent your own strength from carrying you a few feet into the air. You crash down face first. You've got the sword in hand, but it's slowly murdering you from within.

You begin to stand, holding the sword uneasily before you. It takes constant focus and willpower to keep Charbydian from reaching into your mind. In an effort to focus your mind against him something weird happens. Like.. muscle memory, only it's mental, not physical. Instead of simply keeping him out of your mind, it's as if you were pushing back into his, forcing him back down into the confines of the sword.

**WHAT IS THIS**

Suddenly you notice you're chanting. Speaking the language of magic, unconsciously. You can do it without effort, as if it was as natural to you as smiling. Runes of magic appear along the blade as you chant, glowing a bright molten orange. You know these are words of binding, of sealing. But you don't know how, or why.

**WHAT ARE YOU**

You finish the incantation, and just like that, you're you again, just some zombie schlub in over his head.

"Wow mister! Where'd you learn to do that?" Ghost girl asks.

"No idea, it just kind of happened.." You offer with a shrug of your shoulders.

"Is Char okay?" The girl asks, seemingly unconcerned that he just tried to mindrape you.

"I WILL HAVE MY RE-"

"Quite you." You're getting somewhat sick of this guy.

Suddenly the sword goes silent.

"Huh, didn't expect that to work. I guess you kind of have to do what I say now." A thought crosses your mind..

You and spooky ghost girl head back through the catacombs. It takes you a bit to find your way, but you manage. Lisa and Marcus are standing around waiting for you.

"We've been waiting for you. Where have you been? Did you steal that sword from the tomb? Why do you have a child with you?" Lisa seems kind of irritated with you.

"Uh, a magic temple. Yes. and a ghost. In that order." You reply, not really in the mood for complex explanations. “Say hello Char. You say to the sword.”

“FEAR ME WORMS. I AM YOUR RE-“

“Okay that’s enough out of you.” You tap the sword against the wall to emphasize your point.

Marcus, for the first time since you’ve met him, seems flustered. “That’s- How- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!” He walks up to you, visibly angry. “You’ve put us all at risk, you utter buffoon!”

Lisa steps in at this point, “Peace Marcus, take a closer look, there’s bindings placed on the blade. Quality work from the looks of things.”
Marcus takes the blade from your hands, reading the runes etched along the blade. After a moment he thrusts the blade back into your hands.

The ghost girl chimes in at this point, “He did a really good job. I’ve never seen Char listen to anyone before, he’s a really good magician!”
Marcus raises his hands to rub his temples. After a moment he looks back at you, “You did this?” He turns to Lisa. “You taught HIM to do this?”

Lisa just offers a wry smile in return.

Marcus sighs, “Whatever, I don’t want to know. We got what we came for right?”

Lisa responds, “The séance was successful, your guardian spirit told me who took the artifacts, and I believe I know where they are right now.” Lisa pulls out her phone. Typing something in. “The person who took the artifacts belongs to a group of hedge mages known as the Order of the Black Wyrm.”

She pulls up a Twitter page of said order, they have poorly drawn logo as their profile picture. “The account lists their address and several ways to contact them. Most groups like this are little more than frauds who get their info on magic from imageboards and forums. I’m surprised these guys managed to get this far.”

"So we know these dorks have the artifacts, what's our plan for getting them back?" You ask.

"That," Lisa replies, "Will be up to you. I'm sorry but this isn't the only iron I have in the fire right now. I'm sure you can handle this on your own though."

cont.

>>3184754
Shortly after you all head out and up the steps, the ghost girl seems to stick along by your side, you suppose she doesn't have anywhere else to go.
Looking at their facebook page the Order of the Black worm seem to operate out of an old game shop. It's been refurbished and turned into a "coven." It looks like they're closed right now. You could try and do some B and E to look for the artifacts right now.

OR

You could wait until the next morning to investigate the place. Lisa had mentioned she can cast a glamour that will make you look like a normal human for a few hours. You could talk your way into the place and (hopefully) not need to rely on violence to solve your problems for once.

>Fuck it, lets do crimes
>I wanna smooth talk my way inside, secret agent style

>>3184775
>I wanna smooth talk my way inside, secret agent style
Violence is still an option if this fails.

Also for the sake of pacing I'm trying to cut down on options that don't advance the plot very much. Feel free to let me know if the quest starts to feel railroaded, I want you guys to have fun.

>>3184775
>I wanna smooth talk my way inside, secret agent style
Trick them into thinking we're some withdrawn DnD-loving shut-in. You know, the kind of pathetic guy who would play quests on the Internet.

Also,
>Ask the girl why she keeps following us
I think if she strays too far from Char, and by extension us, then these "shadowmen" will attack her. We'd better ask though, just to be sure. Also dialogue is fun.

>>3184775
It's kinda weird why are WE doing this? Not werewolves?
Wasn't it like big part of the curse that they fucked up and THEY should retrieve the ancestors stuff?

And we should mention to Lisa that dark figures ghost girl was afraid off what where they?

>>3184775
>>I wanna smooth talk my way inside, secret agent style
>>3184805

ask Lisa this too, while checking her tits again

hey, maybe marcus can send that werefolf friend of ours to help us in this, I'm sure she is calm and collected and can help us infiltrate the dorks place

>>3184780
>>3184801
>>3184805
>>3184816

You decide violence isn't the answer just yet. You head back home with Lisa, getting ready to infiltrate the place the next day. You also feel you have a number of questions that need to be answered. "Hey Lisa?"

"Hm?"

"This is like the werewolves problem right? So why am I the one going to fix it? I mean shouldn't it be their responsibility?"

"Indeed, the truth is we are trying to keep the whole thing somewhat hush hush. While capable warriors, the werewolves lack finesse. The fact is, if the pack knew about this I imagine they would charge the place and murder every single person in there to a man, or die trying. I hope you can imagine why this is a bad idea?"

"We don't want wanton bloodshood between supernatural beings breaking out in the middle of the city?"

"Exactly, it would be for the best if this sort of conflict could be avoided by applying a... lighter touch. We can keep the pack at fighting strength, and avoid drawing attention to ourselves before we're ready to show our hand."

"Okay, but Marcus knows about this? Why can't he help?"

"Marcus has responsibilities as the pack leader, he already had work enough showing up by himself tonight without letting the pack know why, two nights in a row would be pushing it." Lisa pauses, "However, if you really would like extra help for this job, you may be able to ask him. I'm sure he has one or two trusted associates he could send your way in his place."

"Okay, I also have a few questions about the ghost girl?"

"My name is Maddie." She interjects.

"A few questions about Maddie." You correct yourself.

"Ask away." Lisa replies.

As you're walking along you try to sneak a peak at her tits. They're nice as ever covered in a sweater that outlines there shape in a lovely way. After a moment Lisa extends her arm and raises your chin so that you are eye level with her once again.

"So when Maddie was in that temple. She had to stay near Charbidian or these shadowmen woud chase her she said, what were those things?"

"Orlock, they're an astral entity, a creature made of magic. Ghosts are much the same way. When a person dies in an area of powerful magical activity they can leave behind an imprint, forming out of the arcane, becoming a ghost."

"Okay but why were they chasing her?"

"For food, they wanted to consume her essence and become stronger as a result. I suspect when she neared Charbydian they could sense his presence, and ran off they way a fox may abandon a rabbit when the notice a wolf is near."

"I'm not a rabbit!" Maddie interjects.

"And Charbydian couldn't eat her because he was bound in the sword?" You ask.

"Partially bound yes. How did you manage to complete that binding any way? You must be a quicker study than I thought?"

>>3184868
Shh, I miss-typed. Mass murder by giant wolf men is still conspicuous.

>>3184875
For Lisa. Is it more about mass murder? Or about conspicuous stuff and the fact that other players might spot her?
I think this question should be asked in character.
We should know better our master. We know the second we fail we are throw away garbage but it would be nice to know where do we stand morally wise in this whole deal

>>3184889
Do you wanna phrase that in the form of a write in?

>>3184914
So I'm curious, what would upset you more, the mass murder or the attention it would bring.don't take me wrong, I'm just trying to get into your pan- skull, your skull.

>>3184914
>"Is it more about mass murder part or about conspicuous stuff and the fact that other players might spot you?"
This but with proper english grammar

>>3184868
>>3184870
>>3184922
>>3184926
You decide to there's no point in keeping secrets and tell her the whole story, weird magic trance and all.

Lisa looks concerned for a moment but then returns to her normal calm demeanor. "That's- Honestly I have no idea what could've caused that. I will have to do some research. Hmm.." She seems lost in thought.

After a moment you decide that your earlier conversation brought up an issue that needs to be addressed. You try to phrase it delicately. "Okay, so earlier you mentioned how you don't want the werewolves to mutilate these kids, is that more because of the attention it would bring down on us or that you object to mass murder... I mean, I'm not opposed to mass murd- okay that sounds bad... Look, I'm not judging I just want to understand you a little better is all..." You trail off a little awkwardly.

Lisa smiles, "Hmm, it looks like you still have a heart after all, and I could've sworn I went and pulled it straight out of your chest. Don't worry Paul, I'm not completely evil."

"That... doesn't answer my question."

"I know." Lisa leans over and kisses you on the cheek.

Once you get back home it's time to make preparations. Lisa will have the glamour ready to go, but you will have to decide what and who you want to bring along.

"Can I come with you Paul?" Maddie asks, "Lisa said the shadowmen won't bother me now that I'm out of the crypt, but I still want to stay and help you! I won't be a bother. I can even go invisible for a little while." Maddie vanishes into thin air right before you, then reappears right behind you. "See?"

>Sure come along
>Not this time, you need to stay with Lisa
>Write in

>>3184977
>Sure come along

>>3184977
>Not this time, you need to stay with Lisa

I want to bring her along but to bring her we need to bring the sword and we are talking our way in, not breaking and entering

>>3184985
I thought that sword gonna be our selling point as super serious larper

>>3184985
Hmmm
Good point

>>3184977
Can we stash the sword somewhere nearby? Uf yes we bring her, if we can't we ask her to stay.

>>3184985
>>3184990
>>3184991

I wish I'd made this more clear in my last post, but I couldn't find a good spot to bring it up naturally. The orlocks only hang around certain areas associated with death, unless she wanders into a morgue Maddie should have (mostly) free reign of the city.

>>3184996
>Lisa said the shadowmen won't bother me now that I'm out of the crypt
>I wish I'd made this more clear in my last post
I don't know if you could

>>3184996
oh
then she can come along, she can scout the place out invisible and tell us where the artifacts are

I think we got ourselves a daughteru boys

>>3185010
>>3185014

"Sure come along. Just be careful, and you have to follow my instructions okay?"

Maddie beams a smile up at you. "Scouts honor."

Next order of buisiness is whether or not to bring the sword. It certainly looks conspicuous, and it certainly might be offputting walking around with it in broad daylight. But who knows? Maybe you could spin the story so you have a reason to carry it around?

You also need to decide if you want to call in a favor from Marcus and have him provide you with a werewolf buddy. It could make things complicated for social infiltration, but they could make for good backup if things go wrong? Marcus owes you, but it could be beneficial to save that favor for later.

You decide you want to bring the sword along. Perfectly within your legal rights, people may think you're a weirdo though. At least you aren't wearing a fedora. You also decide not to call for backup from Marcus, No need to make this more complicated than it needs to be. Lisa finishes the glamour. A locket with some of your hair in it, hair from back before you were zombified. That would be creepy if she wasn't so hot.

"This glamour will last until sundown. If the locket breaks so will the glamour, take care with it." Looking in a mirror you can see yourself as you were. Not a super handsome guy. Thin, brunette, green eyes, just a bit of stubble on your chin, it seems like a far cry from what you are now.

Oddly enough while looking for some new clothes you found an old scabbard lying around that your sword fits in well enough. "That must've been one of my brothers." Lisa says. "He always had a thing for weapons."

With that a zombie, a ghost, and a demon set out to infiltrate a nerd compound.

The building is takes you just a bit to find. It's wear the address said but the only sign is a faded leftover from when it was still a gameshop. Titan Ga es

You decide to send Maddie off to scout. "Maddie, can you turn invisible and look around inside? Let me know how many people are in there and if you see any magically looking artifacts let me know, but above all else, don't get caught!"

Maddie gives you a salute and flies off into the building. While you're waiting you decide to ask Char what he thinks we should do.

"Hey Char what are your thoughts on all this?"

"KILL! MAIM! BURN! KILL! MA-"

"Shh! shut up! Stupid sword."

A man across the street from you looks over then begins hurrying away. He pulls out a cellphone and begins frantically dialing.

You draw your sword triumphantly from the sheathe upon your back, this will be so sweet.
Shing
"Go Charbydian, sate your thirst upon this wretched fool!"

GRAAAAAAAAAHHH GET BACK HERE YOU CRAVEN!! I WILL DESTROY YOU!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Unfortunately as Char is bound to the sword he seems unable to help you in any significant manner. By this point the man has climbed into his car and quickly speeds off. Oh well.

At this point Maddie has returned from her scouting. "What are you doing?"

You appear to be standing around pointing your sword at absolutely nothing. "Oh, n-nevermind that.." You quickly return the sword to its sheathe. "What did you find inside?"

"There's only 3 people inside the central room. They're gather around a table in the back playing some sort of card game. The bathrooms and janitors closet are empty, but what's really weird is there was this one door I couldn't go inside. It's like it was completely solid, I couldn't phase through it." Maddie replies.

"Weird, I bet that's where the artifacts are though. Okay Maddie I've got an idea."

The man smiles back, "Oh certainly have you filled out an application?"

"Application? I ah..."

"It's listed on our Twitter page, once you fill out an application there is a waiting period of 7-9 buisiness days before a response, followed by a preliminary phone interview, then a lunch interview. Then after another week we can let you know. I can get you a form if you would like?"

"That would be great, could I take a look around inside to check this place out?" You ask, nicely as you can.

"That's... a little unorthodox, but I suppose it can be allowed for such a distinguished gentlesir as yourself." He nods to the sword on your back.

Opening the door you see what looks like a game room covered in nerd shit. There are various objects of a vaguely magical flavour. Dream catchers, magic circles, staves of power. The other two guys are intently focused on a game of Magic, they pay no mind to you. The other guy heads up to the desk and begins looking through papers.

As you wander through the room feigning interest in the stuff around you, you see Maddie through one of the windows, she appears to be pointing towards a small door squirreled away in the back room. You try to subtly make your way over to it, your nearly right in front of it when across the room you hear, "Hey wait!"

Looking over it's the first guy, paper in hand, he runs over to you frowning. "You can't go in there, not even I can go in there. It's for members of the inner circle only. The magister was very strict about this."

>Ah come on, aren't you curious? Don't you want to obtain real magical power?
>What the Magister doesn't know won't hurt him plus, if you let me I'll let you see my sword?

This guy has probably never touched a woman who wasn't his mom. It's time to play to his weakness.
"Are you sure? There might be some very interesting things behind this door. Y'know I hear that certain powerful mages know spells of love, they can enchant anyone you wan't to succumb to your desires?"

The man seems very taken aback by this statement. He blushes, then gets a look in your eyes you are sure you want nothing to do with. "Well handsome... Let's open this door and see what we find hmm?" He takes on a... sexy? tone of voice. Atleast that's what you think it's supposed to be his attempt to sound sexy.

Is he coming on to you? Can you use this? Is this a good thing? This is not a good thing.

--
You open the door and look inside. It appears to be a stairway leading down into the basement. Why does this place have a basement. You descend into the darkness, the lightswitch at the bottom doesn't appear to work. Instead your newfound lover pulls out his phone and turns on the flashlight application. Even with the flashlight active the darkness around you is heavy, almost oppressive. You press on.

The first thing that hits you is the smell. Sulfur and brimstone, There's a familiar about. The other guy doesn't seem to notice anything though. Walking along you hear a squishing sound. Looking down you see that the floor is partially covered in a pink slime. Something about it seems familiar.

"I don't know about this place, maybe we should go back? Find some other place to... practice our spells" The guys asks suggests.

You force a chuckle, despite how unfunny this situation is quickly becoming. "Why? Dark basements not your style? A pity, everyone knows the best rituals happen in them."

The guy is clearly nervous but he puts on a brave face and resolves not to chicken out at this chance to get laid. Together you press further.

As things go on the pink goop seems to be spreading further. Your boots drag through the stuff making a gross noise. Squish, Schlop, Squish The goop appears to be spreading into the walls now, reaching towards the ceiling. As you move inward the place looks less like a hallway and more some organic orifice. You think you can see it pulsating in places.

"I've never seen anything like this before. Is this- Is magic real?" He reaches out to touch one of the thicker parts of the flesh wall. Suddenly it seems to come alive. It envelops his arm up to the elbow and begins pulling him in. In a order to keep from falling against the wall he extends his other hand to brace himself, which also gets sucked into the wall. "AH FUCK, GAH- HEEELP ME!"

You react very quickly and pull him back from the wall as hard as you possibly can, he comes free from the soft goop, unfortunately once he comes free from the wall both you and he fall back and come crashing down on the ground. After he rolls off of you and you both get up he is about to thank you, "That was close you mu-" His words stop dead in his throat.

He screams, you wonder what's wrong until you look down at your arms. The glamour is broken. You bring your hands to your neck, the locket is gone. [i[Shit[/i]

"Hey now, just relax okay." You try to calm him down.

He does not calm down. He bolts past you and runs back down the hallway, back towards safety.

Well at least he's alive I guess.

You decide to press further on. The lockets not much use to you know, with the cat out of the bag. Without the aid of a light it's difficult to see but your night vision begins to adjust as you head further into the darkness.

As you head further in to the tunnel you see that the pulsating flesh is becoming more complex. Maybe it's a trick of the light but you think you can see faces forming out of the flesh, locked in expressions of anguish. Further down the hall you think you can see a hunched figure heading towards you. It hasn't seen you yet, utilizing your shadow ability you can hide in the darkness.

How do you want to handle this thing.

As you sneak closer you can gain a better look at what this thing is. It reminds you of that thing that you fought back at the motel, bulging muscles and tumorous growths. There are a few key differences though. This thing isn't humanoid, at all. It's like a giant mass formed out of body parts. Eyes, arms, internal organs, All smashed together in random places throughout the pink mass, like a Mr. Potato head from hell.

As you near closer it seems to notice you, maybe it can see well in the dark, can it even see? At any rate it lashes out at you with some kind of tentacle made out of what you think is intestine. It wraps around your neck and pulls you off your feet, leaving you dangling in the air.

You draw your sword. Ready to cut this thing down, you swing with all your might and... miss. Really? How did you miss, it's literally right in front of you.

"PATHETIC"

Before you can reprimand Char for that comment, the monster slams you down against the ground. Your head bounces off the floor and your vision goes fuzzy for a moment. As you come back to reality you see that the thing is dragging you along the ground, it's body creating an opening to swallow you whole.

You're inches away from the gaping maw that's gonna swallow you whole and you can hear Charbydian laughing his non-existent ass off as you are swallowed whole by this stupid thing.

As it engulfs you you become awash in this foul smelling digestive fluid. It burns like fuck and it's hard to move inside this thing. Even with the sword in your hand you feel like your helpless inside of this monstrosity. You're pissed off, struggling uselessly against this thing, realizing it's futile you feel ready to give up and die.

but then...

in the darkness...

You hear a voice

Not yet child

There's still work to be done

You feel a surge of strength come from within, inhuman strength surges through your limbs, taking the sword you tear open this walking tumor from this inside out, cleaving it in two down the middle, it falls over in a slump. You stand triumphant. In horrendous pain, with halfway destroyed clothes, leaning on your sword for support, but triumphant nontheless.

--
After licking your wounds and gathering your strength, you decide to press on. Continuing down the tunnel, you are in pain but your movement seems unhindered for the most part.

Carrying on down the tunnel you come to a larger opening which lets out into a small room, a junction between several tunnels similar to the one you came out of. Directly across from you is a larger tunnel with light coming out at the far end.

In the center of the room there sits a large pile of human and animal corpses. Circled around this pile is a group of... humans(?) that appear to be chanting in the language of magic. The corpse pile seems to undulate slightly, as if something is moving at the bottom.

You decide to wait things out. From what you can make out they appear to be summoners. Invoking spirits of the dead and elements of blood and flesh, after a few minutes you theory is confirmed when the charnel pit finishes undulating and out of the pile emerges three more of the organ monsters you fought just a bit ago. The summoners command them to begin patrolling, looking for the outsider. Two of them head off towards other tunnels, one begins heading straight towards you. You really don't want a repeat of what happened last time.

Before you can plan a course of action you hear a whisper. "Hey kid!" It's Charbydian, he's using his inside voice, you didn't even think that was possible.

"What?" You whisper back.

"You don't wanna die right? I, Charbydian! can help you fight. Open your mind and let me enter inside, I'll give you the power to take these things out no problem."

"How stupid do you think I am?" You remember what happened the last time this guy tried to enter your mind.

"Extremely, but that's not the point. I, Charbydian! won't try to kill you like last time. Think about it. I, Charbydian! am the only hope you have to get out of this alive."

>Fine, but betray me and I'll have you melted down and turned into a melon baller
>Nope I can take this thing down alone
>Clearly you're outmatched here, you'll have to fall back and tell Lisa we couldn't handle this on our own.
>Write in

Hmm, Char seems slightly fishy here. Using words like "wanna" and in lower case no less? This isn't the bound demon I've come to know and love.
