:goonsay: Spelunking is only used for caving. :science: That..does make me wonder if you could convince the ai to run you through colossal cave.. that would be something. Anyway!

> You pat grigori and head further into the temple, looking for the shrine of the silver monkey.
You walk on, and quickly pass through a row of gold statues standing at attention. They look like soldiers, but they're all staring forward with focused eyes, like they're expecting something to happen.

This space intentionally left blank
Inform the statues that you are General Tuna Can Tom. The prophesized time has come, and they are to begin the conquest.

Also show the medallion first, I guess. I'm tempted to ask how flexible the narrative can be, but it seems like more fun to find out by trying to break it.

You hold the medallion up to the statues, which turn to stare at you with a new found focus.
"Brothers! The time of our salvation is at hand! The Golden Age is finally upon us!"

:bahgawd: The narrative can be as zany as you want it to be. i can always hammer it into doing what i want, or letting it go buck wild. sometimes the ai is dumb, and i have to get it back on track, but i tend to sweep that under the rug unless it's dumb in a hilarious enough way to share.

You begin to systematically go through the hallways, looking relentlessly for more statues. After about an hour of searching, you find more than a few more, all the while searching for the hidden rooms that often house extra statues.

You get the attention of your army and begin to speak to them. You talk about purity, freedom, power, the glory of the state, and they all live forever in the knowledge that they served their glorious leader with all their soul.

You pat yourself on the back for coming up with such an original name, as you begin to wonder if this is all just an elaborate set up.

The dragon, who had been preoccupied with the rest of his minions, pays attention to your words. He debates with you whether conquering the skies is truly a feasible endeavor.

After some thought, he comes up with a plan.
He says that he can create a huge number of dragonlings. But, the problem with creating an army of small dragons is that most of them won't live very long.

To your surprise, several of them raise their hands. You approach the nearest one and ask them if they're a dragon in disguise. They look at you with confusion, before replying "No."

> You take off your own disguise.

You quickly take your disguise off, revealing the guise that dragons have of humas. You assess their reaction.
Most of the humans are in awe, and mistake you for being on drugs.

Giggling, you lead them back to grigoi's lair with a massive smile on your face. On the way back to Grigori's lair, the army of golden soldiers start to slow down. they finally all grind to a halt in the middle of some thick woods. each soldier drops to it's knees, and a slot opens up in it's chest, and a fine golden dust pours from the open cavity. You surmise that the golden soldiers run on gold bars to power them, and they're currently out of juice. Maybe having them all do odd jobs in sancre tor took it's toll on them. one of the dragons-in-disguise taps you on the shoulder, and says "I hear tell of a mysterious mansion secluded in the countryside. rumor has it, that the old owner hid his fortune in gold bars inside the mansion."
