#407 Guards Are Stuck

April 5, 2024
We’re here now. Might as well make the most of it.

Transcript

Sharpie looks on as the guards keep desperately trying to pull their hypnotized colleagues off from blocking the exit in the wall. One has kneeled to pray for their cooperation.
Sharpie: “They’re tryin’ ta keep us from escapin’...”

Sharpie turns his head to look at the battle behind him. The Aviatar is defending himself against the Beast Lord with a large piece of cardboard. However, a couple of hypnotized guards approach him, as well as falling at him, dropped by the Keeptender.
Sharpie: “It’s like this was their plan all along. To lure the Aviatar here and overwhelm ‘im with somethin’ he can’t attack against.”

Sharpie: “I can’t know how much we’ve played into their hand already. And now they’ve put us inna position where we can only react... Fine! If we can’t leave, then we gotta at least avoid those slaps!”

Stygian Lord

Stygian Lord says:

You have no idea how many years I’ve been planning this, Sharpie.

But don’t worry, you’ll get to sit down and hear me tell you all about it soon.

(Also, here’s your periodic reminder that our ever-changing Lord of the Realm may be looking for some fan mail.)
