Board 8 > You see a sign saying "BEWARE OF THE DARGON" [sic] [CYOA]

(+) Yeah! (+)

What do you do?

A. Laugh at the misspelling of "DRAGON"
B. Grab your sword and armor
C. Ignore it and move on
D. Order a pizza

To start, it's first to 3, because this first option decides the plot and player character.

D. Put it in (the pizza order, that is)

A. Hahaha

If you're playing Crystal Story II, you should beware the Dargon.

I said first to 3. So it is A.

You notice how the A and the R are transposed and subsequently laugh. "HAHAHAHA WHO COULD BE SO STUPID? There are no such things as dragons anyway!" You then turn and go on your merry way.

Suddenly a gigantic winged lizard about 100 times your size appears behind you and chomps upon your entire body, swallowing you whole! You black out.

You don't know how much later it is, but you find yourself inside a cavernous tomb lined with scaly green gunk. You fathom you are inside the DARGON's intestines. You examine yourself. You have the following:

1. Your cell phone, which you're using as a flashlight
2. Your wallet, which has $27, two credit cards, your ID, your library card, four reward cards, a stick of gum, two band-aids, a paper clip, a toothpick, a picture of you with your partner, a parking stub you found miraculously, and a two y/o receipt from a restaurant for the best meal you've ever had.
3. Your keys
4. A Swiss Army Knife, which you're pretty happy you brought with you

You're not sure which direction is which. Do you go LEFT or RIGHT?

Funnily enough this is actually where that one was gonna go :X

Left

Get the flask

Left

Right

Left

You head left, using your phone as your flashlight. You find random things strewn about, like a half-empty Coke bottle, a skeleton that seems like it's been there for ages (just how old is this DARGON, anyway?), a busted beach ball, some rocks... you don't know what to make of this. The path starts curving up, and you're not sure how to get up there. You certainly don't plan on being digested, and you hope you're going the right way. Up sounds good, right?

You make a jump for the higher platform and hang on, but fall off because it's slippery. You decide to try again, but first you throw rocks at the underside, which causes the DARGON some pains, lurching it at such an angle you can pull yourself up and roll downward. Up here, you find a few things that might be useful, including a rope that's about six feet, which you pick up. You also find some armor. The helmet is fully intact, the breastplate is cracked but it'll do the job, and the gauntlets are rusting but are otherwise fine. You can't find any pants or boots. What you have is slimy and it seems slightly big for you, but it'll still fit.

Do you don this armor? Yes or no.

No

yes

Yes

Yes

No

People just sacrificed all your speed for some shitty ass armor that is probably gonna give you tetanus or some shit from the rusty ass shit.

Newbs.

You don the armor. It feels great! Except for the helmet, of course. Having some of that... goop around your noggin is certainly something. But, for when you get out of here, it's surely going to come in handy for some DARGON slaying!

Now you need a weapon. Certainly something better than a Swiss Army knife. You push forward on the lookout for something to cut your way out of the DARGON. You don't find anything, but you do find something obstructing your passage.

What do you do?
A. Turn around and go the other direction
B. Cut through using your knife
C. Push through with this armor on

B

A

if we are inside the dargon and heading toward its mouth I don't want to turn around and go the other way

B

Just wanted to turn back to be able to choose the right path that was not taken before =)

B

You attempt to cut through the intestinal wall with your Swiss Army knife. You figure this is going to take a few hours, if not more. At least until you see "it." That being the hilt of a sword. You cut around it and grab it, making short work of the rest ARGRGAGAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

The DARGON spits you out, along with all the goop. It sees you with sword in hand and armor donned. It is time.

Boss: DARGON
This gigantic lizard thing has a wingspan of about 20 feet and weighs somewhere around 1800 pounds. It seems young quite still, however many years that is in DARGON talk. Its scales are bronze, its eyes are red, there are flames emitting from its snout, and it is angry. It is very, very angry.

You do a quick assessment of the scene. You seem to be inside the DARGON's lair. It is a cavernous area, quite large of course, with a thick enough fog that can help you hide if you find anything. You believe there to be an opening somewhere above but you are not sure if there is a way to the surface other than up.

It also occurs to you that you don't speak Draconic, so communicating with the DARGON will prove difficult.

What do you do?
A. Attack
B. Defend
C. Try to negotiate anyway?

A

A

Ponder why a Dargon doesnt speak Darconic

C

Ponder how we fit in such a small dargon.

Clearly something you don't know. (lol, whoops)

Ponder how we fit in such a small dargon.

Now that you've gotten your bearings, you realize your estimates were off. Its wingspan is 40 feet, and the hole seems rather small for it, even though it still seems like a young DARGON. (lol, double whoops)

You choose Negotiate Anyway.

You lower your sword and state "I promise not to kill you if you agree to let me go."
The DARGON snorts more flames out of its nostrils.
"We're both trying to survive here! I have no idea what all you eat... but I can help you find a meal."
The DARGON glares angrily at you.
"Please, we can both get away from here unharmed. I don't want to have to fight you. I can feed you..."
The DARGON lurches forward. It roars something, something you don't quite understand. You don't speak Darconic, after all.
"Y-You'll... let me go...?" You doff your helmet and throw it to the ground, struggling to breathe. Your hair is dirty with the slime from inside it.
The DARGON shoots a flamethrower your way, but you manage to roll to the side.
"What was that for?"
It shoots another flame out in the same direction, not toward you.
"Two... something...?" You interpret to mean as you have two days, or it'll kill you and your family too.
The DARGON lowers its head, stretches its wings, and moans something. It looks like it's offering you a ride. You have no choice but to trust, so you get on. The DARGON flies to the top of the hole, so you can get out. You climb out, doff the rest of your armor, and ponder where to go next.

Where do you go next?
A. Urgent care, to see if anything's wrong from this encounter
B. The archery range, for hunting practice
C. The butcher shop, to steal all their meat (you can't afford that much)
D. Home, to shower

You go home and shower off the goop. It all comes off just fine, though... it looks like the drain is clogged.

Before you decide on that, you need to get dressed. Please keep in mind this question will definitively determine who your character is.

What do you wear?
A. Jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers
B. A T-shirt dress, slip-on flats, and a baseball hat
C. Gym shorts, a tank top, sandals, and sunglasses
D. The DARGON armor

C

Screw it, I'm just gonna say who's who. No tricks:
A = Boris Ng, your friends call you "Boring" because of how average you are
B = Aurora "Rori" Smart, an adventurous supermodel
C = Greg Hutchinson, a 44 y/o man struggling with weight loss
D = Sir William Alwyn, a Medieval Knight lost in time (he's been here for a while)
