>Spread those cards out further,
First, you retract your wings. After all, you might suddenly fall down a hole and then your wings would save you from the impact. You need to be prepared!
Then you start tossing cards all over the place.
You seem to have quite a lot of cards in that deck. Far more than 52. Of course, this means there’s no reason to call it 52-Pick Up when you pick them all up, which is why you did that.
>then go knock the candles on the pentagram over.
Now it’s time to mess with the candles.
In doing so, you start a fire.
You are now on fire.
>Hurl yourself at one of those nice skeletons over there
You decide that any of the skeletons would be easy to hit, except that one that’s mostly under the key. So you hurl yourself at that one!
This sets the skeleton on fire and knocks the key away. Unfortunately, touching the fireproof key seems to have extinguished the flame on you.
Your Point Meter has gone up by 1, probably for extinguishing yourself.
Meanwhile, the flame has burned the pentagram, and the rock formation it was sitting on, into a pile of lava. Those must be some candles! The stairway is unaffected, though.
>Eat throne.
The throne tastes like very delicious chocolate. Well, that’s not pointless either! You stop eating it.
>Destroy the throne.
What an excellent idea! You can destroy it without experiencing any more of that delicious chocolate taste.
You could use the skeleton to set it on fire…
Or throw it into the lava where the pentagram used to be…
Which means it’s much more pointless to attempt to destroy it by sitting on it until it breaks.
>Do not respond to a command.
You don’t respond to this command. But that means you do. Which means you don’t. Which means you do!
A Lesser Paradox Beast appears behind the throne. It seems annoyed with you.
Author’s Note:
The Lesser Paradox Beast was a cameo from another adventure, called “Epic, Awesome, and Mildly Zany”. It was made by someone who went by MultiFunctional. I have no idea what that person is doing these days. Unfortunately, as far as I know that adventure is no longer available anywhere and I don’t remember much about it.
Two new images here. The first is where Nopor Puss is contemplating throwing the throne into the pentagram, which was originally just a repeat of the image where he’s examining the results of the fire. Now we get to see him imagining the throne among the flames.
The second is the next-to-last image of the update, just before the Lesser Paradox Beast arrived. This was originally a repeat of the previous image. As often happens, there was a continuity error I didn’t catch before taking the screenshot, namely the flame in the upper-left corner. Again, I thought this was silly enough not to fix. Presumably, rather than running from one side of the chest to the other while declaring his intent to ignore the command, Nopor Puss is taking a very convoluted route from one position to the other and in the process starts a fire and puts it out.
This error isn’t in the first new image because I actually made that one second.
