Something I whipped up earlier.

This was inspired in the middle of a conversation with kjorteo, and I figured it was amusing enough to share with the rest of the group in a way they don't have to go hunting through a whole thread for!



Fun fact: I had to put all of the text in there manually; the only reference image I could find was from the Japanese game.

I already reacted to this in the thread in question, but it bears repeating: the inventory totally makes it. :P

As for references, obviously the whole thing refers back to NES Shadowgate, and here is the Hatoized version.

Also, I have a new theory that this whole thing is one giant misunderstanding caused by the Christmas Thieves taking Azami's advice a bit too literally.

oh geez, the icon..!!

[kjorteo]

Merry Christmas!

That icon is essentially the whole reason I made that image. Theirs was the adventure that ended, after all.

The only logical response to "HIT TANK"!

(EDIT: Now with appropriate music)

With gusto, you plant your feet firmly into the dirt, channel every last ounce of might you have into your fist, and strike the front of the tank with enough force to flatten a buffalo!

Your attack, however, fails to even make it flinch, and it continues on its merry path, grinding you into paste under its treads. The legend of your bravado against insurmountable odds will be recounted for generations to come.

It's a sad thing that your adventure has ended here!!

Ah, I'm not the only one who got an awesome new icon out of this whole exchange, I see. :D

I had to salvage something from all this madness.
