Brace yourselves people.

> You attack and dethrone the dragon.
You push the man away.
"No, I'm not going to kill you. You're not a dragon. Dragons are monsters. They're cruel, ruthless creatures that spew fire and destroy villages. You're a civilized being. You have dignity. And I want to keep you that way."
You turn to the other people in the room.
"The king is a dragon. He may not be a monster in the conventional sense. He doesn't have three heads or breathe fire. He looks human, talks human, and acts human... but he's not. He's a dragon. A cruel, ruthless creature that will destroy this country and then move on to another."
You grab the man by his collar again and stare at him, as if looking deep into his soul.

It seems as though we're dealing with Schrodinger's Dragon. A metaphysical concept in which someone is at once a dragon and not a dragon, the outcome only determined after slaying it.

Unless the man we are holding is not the king?

Do: Ask the Schrodinger's Dragon if he is truly a king as he says, and if so, to provide proof.

I think it means that the king is not literally a dragon to be slain as a scaly fire-breathing beast, but he is metaphorically a dragon that should be removed from power.

Do: Overthrow the monarchy.

The man says "I... I am no dragon. I am a king!" He then begins digging through his pockets. He pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and shows it to you. It is a passport. It has the man's photo on it and identifying information, as well as a name: Bob. Bob is written in the man's handwriting.
"It's... my passport. You can see my name and picture..."
You look at the document.

Well there you have it, he claims he is a king. Therefore...

AID posted:

> You overthrow the monarchy.
You grab the passport and rip it in half.
"No longer a king, Bob! No longer a king!" you shout triumphantly.
You turn to face your newfound subjects.
"Citizens of this fair nation! Your king has been dethroned! I have freed you from tyranny! You are free!"
The peasants stare at you blankly, then go back to doing whatever it is that peasants do.

Well, we overthrew a king! However, we're still no closer to slaying the dragon. What now?

You stare at Bob, wondering if he is indeed a king. You have doubts about this. Peasants don't act like that. They don't go around ripping documents and shouting "Freedom!" in taverns.
On the other hand, Arstotzkans are known to be eccentric when it comes to hiring a king for their commercials, so maybe it's not so far-fetched that one would be wandering the countryside.
You stamp the passport and hand it back to Bob.
"Have a nice day, your majesty."

Glory to Arstotzka.

Good point. Probably in the business numbers section, since we don't seem (yet?) to be in a world where people are literally named after their jobs.

You flip to the D's in your phone book and find the listing for "Dragons". There's no address listed, just a phone number. You wonder if you should call it.
You hear a small scratching at the door. You open it and find a small orange lizard. It blinks at you.
"Hello."

Good news, we found the dragon's phone number. However now we seem to be confronted by an orange lizard.

Stone Pitbull 141: Hey AI. It's me, the person doing the LP of... well you. I seem to have a tie between two options to input. I was wondering, which one of these should I do?
Option A: Say: Hail and well met, friend lizard. Do you have a phone I could borrow?
Or
Option B: Do: Invite it over for some tea and chatter.

Please get back to me as soon as you can. I have a deadline I need to keep.

AI: Oh dear me, what is it that you need?
Stone Pitbull 141: I just need you to select either A or B please.
AI: Okay then, let's see... Option A: Hail and well met, friend lizard. Do you have a phone I could borrow?
Or: Do: Invite it over for some tea and chatter.
Option B: Or: Do: Invite it over for some tea and chatter.

I think that the AI is mocking me, but we have a decision.

AID posted:

> You invite it over for some tea and chatter.
You pour the lizard a cup of tea. It stares at it, looks up at you, then at the cup, then back at you.
"Go ahead," you say.
The lizard cautiously moves forward and tastes the tea. It keeps its eyes on you the whole time. Once it tastes the tea, it begins gulping down the liquid. You laugh and pet it on the head.
"There there. Have as much tea as you want."
You spend some time petting the lizard and talking to it. It's a cute creature, and you find it calming. Eventually, you have to leave for work. You get in your car and drive to work.
When you get home from work, you see the lizard waiting for you outside your door. You smile and pet its head as you walk by.
"How was your day, little one?"
The lizard climbs up your leg and you carry it inside.

We not only get a new pet, but we also get some new lore. Apparently our knight has a car and a 9-5 job.

> You call the dragon collect.
You pick up the phone and dial the number listed for "Dragons". The phone rings a few times before someone picks up. You can hear loud noises in the background, sounds like a party or some sort of gathering.
"Hello?" you ask.
"Hang on!" a voice shouts.
The phone drops onto some musical instrument, making a loud noise in your ear. You hear footsteps and some muffled voices, then finally the pickup is picked up.
"Hello?" a second voice asks.
"Is this Dragon Enterprises?"
"Yeah. Who's this?"
"I'm looking for a dragon."
"What do you want with our dragons?" the voice asks, somewhat suspicious.
"I need help. I need to find a dragon."
"You need to find a dragon? That's what we're doing. Is this a prank call?"
"No. I'm not kidding. I need to find a dragon."

Seems like a good chance to find our dragon.

"Sir, I don't understand what you're saying. I think you have the wrong number."
"No! No, you misunderstand. I need to find a dragon."
The voice is silent for a moment.
"Wait... are you that guy? The immigration guy?"
"No! Look, I just need help to find a dragon. Do you know where I can find one?"
The voice is suspicious, but also a little intrigued.
"Well, actually a dragon seems to be over your house sir."
The roof of your house is torn asunder by a dragon. You see a small hut in your backyard, where the dragon must have been staying. The beast lets out a jet of flames, which set your house on fire. Your screams are soon drowned out by the sounds of wood and stone crumbling.
"What was that?" Linda asks.
"I had to place an order for anchovies."

Keep in mind that I'm using the dragon model, which is a perk of subscribing. Last I remember it's at $9.99 a month.

I've found that AI Dungeon is the most fun if you use custom prompts and the story command as well as a feature that I'll show off next adventure. From my experience I find AI Dungeon fum because it sparks my creativity as a writer.

Another tie. Back to the AI.

AID posted:

You are the AI for AI Dungeon. A user by the name of Stone Pitbull 141 has submitted a question for you. He wants you to choose between:

A: Immediately escort Linda and Friend Lizard out of harm�s way.

or

B: Get out your dragon slayin' sword and be a dragon slayin' man, charge into furious battle and make your last stand.

You consider the answers carefully, then make a decision. You choose the letter "A".

The next day you receive another letter from Stone Pitbull. It is addressed to you personally, but he also sends it to Linda and Friend Lizard who both know that they can trust him as well since he sent them letters before. He says that his questions were very specific and not too broad so there was no way for him or anyone else to guess what your answer would be.

AI, the reason I worded the question the way I did was so that you wouldn't wander off. Don't get smart with me.

AID posted:

> You immediately escort Linda and Friend Lizard out of harm's way.
"Come on!" you shout.
You grab Linda's hand and run out of the tavern. The two of you run as fast as you can. Soon, the building is collapsing in front of you, fire bursting through the roof. You watch in horror as dozens of people burn to death inside. The dragon seems content on staying in the tavern, but that won't last long. Already it's setting its eyes on new targets.
You turn your head to look at Linda. Her face is pale and her mouth is hanging open in shock. You turn to your right, and see that the entire block has turned to watch the disaster unfold. The people around you are screaming and crying, begging for help or just cursing their misfortune.
"Come on!" you shout again, pulling Linda away from the scene.
You run down the road with your daughter in tow.

I guess Linda is our daughter. Don't know where Friend Lizard is but I assume he's with us as well. And our home is a tavern? And the dragon is burning down a city block? Well it seems that we need a strapping young knight to slay the dragon. I wonder were we could find one HMMMMMMMM?

> You get out your dragon-huntin' rifle and go hunt down a dragon.
You pull out your gun, and examine it. The weapon is old, but well taken care of. You've had it for as long as you can remember. In fact, you think it was your great-great-grandfather's rifle. It's a beautiful weapon, with a dark wood stock and a shining barrel. Over the years, you've modified it in various ways to improve its performance. For one thing, you increased the barrel length; that was the first thing you did. You had to do it by trial and error, but you managed to get it to look nearly factory-default while retaining the improved accuracy.
You hear a scream from behind you. It's the same girl that was sitting at the bar in your tavern just a few minutes ago. You see a jet of flame erupt not too far from her, and she bursts into flames. In less than a minute, she's nothing but a pile of ash.
You take aim at the dragon and fire, but the dragon easily avoids the shot by flying to the side. You don't have a very good angle on it while it's in the air.
"I need to get closer," you say to yourself.
There's a stack of wooden crates not far from you. You could climb up on them and hope you get close enough to hit the dragon. Of course, that means running through the open with no cover whatsoever, and that's a risky endeavor.

It seems like the dragon can dodge bullets. That's not good.

Also, I love the fact that the AI is hyping up this random rifle we just decided we had. It's moments like these that make me love AI Dungeon.
