creature feature

Continued from yesterday, most people wanted to aim for [the creature].

You point [Throckmorton] toward the creature. He nods, tosses you on his back, and straightens his body, arms stretched forward like a giant spear. His speed increases, forcing you to leap off at the last second as he tackles the creature, killing it instantly and knocking the bone out of its mouth.

There’s one problem… [Throckmorton] expends all his energy and returns to normal size, unable to swim. He thrashes wildly but his body quickly sinks. The bone is about to go under, too, so you have to think fast!

You can only save one…

Did ya do the right thing?

bye-bye, riot in the sky

Continued from yesterday, [wait] just barely won. And so…

You decide to wait it out a bit and see what happens. Not a bad idea, because prison riots are crazy, and that goes doubly so for sky prison riots. [Throckmorton] seems lost in it all as he thrashes his foes, but he casts a quick glance your way and winks, holding up one finger as if to say, “Just a sec.” 

Sure enough, a moment later he spikes his last enemy, runs over, scoops you up, and takes a daredevil leap off the wing of the Sky Box right as it EXPLODES. 

You’re pretty sure that’s the coolest possible way it could have ended, but you don’t have time to appreciate it. You need to direct [Throckmorton] toward a safe place to land and… wait, is that the creature from earlier? And does it still have that stupid bone in its mouth?!

Choose a spot!

You chose… wisely?

ram man

Continued from yesterday, most people chose [ram ally]. And so…

You’ve had it. You ram [Throckmorton] with all your might. He tells you to scram. You do it again. Beat it! Again. Enough already!! Again! WHAM! He finally looks up, enraged, but you don’t stop. You ram him again and again and again and–

[Throckmorton] rises with a thunderous growl. He swats you through the ceiling of the cell as he grows to colossal proportions, snarling and snapping along the way. He erupts through the rear of the Sky Box, igniting pure chaos. 

A prison riot breaks out as you fight the winds atop the ship. None of the guards pay you any mind as they throw everything they have at [Throckmorton]. Jets buzz and Walkers stomp. You make it to the wing of the ship as it starts to lose altitude, look back, and hesitate.

The results

howl to the heavens

We’re back after a day off, picking up from last time with [howl] as the winner. And so…

As [Throckmorton] bravely tackles one of the monsters, you belt out a harrowing howl, sending vibrations deep into the cave. The monsters freeze for a second before shattering into tiny, perfect diamonds.  

You start to move on, but [Throckmorton] is dazzled. He huddles over the pile of riches and marvels as they fall through his fingertips. He wants to take it all. Imagine the life we’ll live, the two of us as kings, he says as he starts to stuff diamonds in his fur.

down to the underground

Continued from yesterday, looks like we’re going [under]. And so…

The more you and [Throckmorton] descend, the foggier it gets. Scattered crystals jut out from rock walls, and you eventually find yourself in a series of caverns encased in what appears to be pure diamond. Come to think of it, [Throckmorton] remembers why he usually doesn’t go under…

Before he can finish the thought, diamond-encrusted monsters leap from the darkness, poised to attack!
