This is a text adventure, you don't need a penguin color. [[START GAME->Boardwalk]] [[But I want a color!->Color2]]

Okay, you're a $color penguin. You're just gonna have to trust me on this. [[START GAME->Boardwalk]]

It's a beautiful day at Beacon Boardwalk. You bounce on the trampoline, alongside a dozen colorfully dressed penguins. Music blares from nearby speakers and fireworks can be heard in the distance. With each jump you reach new heights. You can almost touch the clouds when a thunderous noise erupts— (text-style:"rumble")[*KABOOOOOOM*] You barely stick your landing as the ground shakes. [[Investigate the sound->Investigate]] [[RUN!!!->Run]]

You rush towards the noise, leaping the steps to the Wish Squid fountain. A huge stone dragon head rises from the ground, sending a (text-style:"blur")[cloud of dust] into the air. Nearby, a penguin wearing a ruffled lab coat and thick glasses coughs. It's Gary the Gadget Guy! [["Gary! What's happening?!"->Gary1]] [["Gary! You didn't happen to awake an ancient evil, did you?"->Gary3]] [["Gary! Am I on an episode of Extreme Landscaping?"->Gary4]]

The ground (text-style:"rumble")[rumbles] again as you sprint off, twisting your way through a group of panicked penguins. Before leaving Beacon Boardwalk you stop and look back. [[RUN!!!->Run2]] [[Calm down and investigate the sound->Investigate]]

You rush back to your igloo and dive into the safety of a wooden barrel. ... You feel better. Things are simpler in the barrel. It's dark but nice. You stop worrying about the booming noises and the shaking ground. You feel so calm that you don't notice the shadow of a dragon overhead. It isn't until it inhales a massive breath, (text-colour:"green")[green fire] swirling around its jaw, that it catches your attention. You run for Coconut Cove, yelling as loudly as you can: "SAVE ME JETPACK GUY!" THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Boardwalk]] [[Restart->Intro]]

Gary uses his labcoat to rub the dust from his glasses. "If my hypothesis is correct, it would seem I've awoken an ancient evil," he says, as he holds up a scepter. "This relic must have been locking it away. Until, er... I took it." [["Why did you take the scepter?"->Scepter]] [["What kind of ancient evil are we talking about?"->Evil]] [["What do we do now?"->Plan]]

Gary nearly loses his glasses as he jumps with surprise. "What an excellent conclusion you've come to. I have *indeed* unleashed an ancient evil." Gary holds out a scepter. "This relic must have been locking it away. Until, er... I took it." [["Why did you take the scepter?"->Scepter]] [["What kind of ancient evil are we talking about?"->Evil]] [["What do we do now?"->Plan]]

Gary shakes his head sadly. "If only that were the case," he says. "I'm afraid it's more likely that I've awakened an ancient evil." Gary holds out a scepter. "This relic must have been locking it away. Until, er... I took it." [["Why did you take the scepter?"->Scepter]] [["What kind of ancient evil are we talking about?"->Evil]] [["What do we do now?"->Plan]]

(set: $linktext to '"What kind of ancient evil are we talking about?"') (set: $scepter to 1) "I've been doing electromagnetic archaeology. What I mean is, I used a magnet to suck up old stuff from the ground. And that's when I found this scepter." Gary stares at the scepter, his gaze lingering. "I never thought it would be a magical device..." [["What do we do now?"->Plan]] (if: $evil is 0)[(link-goto: "$linktext", "Evil")]

(set: $evil to 1) (set: $linktext2 to '"Why did you take the scepter?"') Gary scratches his head as he thinks. "Zombies? Slimes? Ghosts?" He looks at the huge stone dragon head behind him. "Or perhaps... a dragon." He shudders as he says the last word. [["What do we do now?"->Plan]] (if: $scepter is 0)[(link-goto: "$linktext2", "Scepter")]

"I must contact Aunt Arctic immediately. Meanwhile..." Gary takes a heavy breath as he steps towards you. "We require an individual who will return the scepter and seal away the ancient evil. We require...a HERO!" [["I can do it, Gary!"->StartQuest]] [["I really hope you find a hero, Gary. Best of luck!"->Afraid]]

Gary hands you the scepter and nods. "Good luck, brave hero." You turn to the giant stone dragon. You're nervous, but calm yourself by remembering your training.

You say goodbye to Gary as you waddle off to see what Rookie's up to. The two of you spend the afternoon on a zany adventure involving rocket-powered tubes, crabs with party hats, and chuggable cheese. You walk home in a great mood, enjoying the shade provided by a large cloud moving very quickly. As you look up, you notice it's not a cloud at all, but a giant reptile with wings, teeth, and, worst of all, fiery breath spewing from its mouth. You run as fast as you can, deciding that now would be an excellent time for a vacation. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Plan]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You step into a large room made of stone bricks. Torches of (text-colour:green)[green flame] glow bright along the wall. Before you can move, a metal gate slams behind you, blocking any escape. All around are blobs of slime, sleeping peacefully. A massive chandelier hangs above them. There's an open door on the other side of the room. [[Pull on the metal gate->MetalGate]] [[Call Gary on your CPI Phone->CallGary1]]

Remember the Summer Splashdown party? Sliding down waterslides, splashing in the pool, getting dunked in the dunk tank... Man, those were good times. But, one month later and you're deep in a cavern, preparing to fight an ancient evil—that's just how life goes. By the way, the stone archway framed by creepy (text-colour:green)[green flames] is still in front of you. [[Enter the room->Room1]]

You're dissappointed to discover you haven't developed superpowers. The solid steel won't budge. [[Call Gary on your CPI Phone->CallGary1]]

"Wakey, wakey!" you shout. The blobs jump up, immediately on guard. Their beady eyes glare at you. "I'm looking for an ancient evil," you say. "Any chance you know where I could find it?" The slimes bounce forward, surrounding you. There are too many to fight off. "Even a map or compass would do," you say. There's no reply, except for the loud gurgling of ooze as they hop closer and closer. There's no way they're letting you reach the next room. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->CallGary1]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You barely have a cell signal, but you give it a shot. Surprisingly, Gary answers! You explain the situation to him. "Sleeping slimes?" he asks. "Indeed, let's check the Island Codex about—" Your CPI Phone begins to crackle. You barely hear Aunt Arctic pipe up in the background.

You heft Dragonsbane into the air and swing it forward. A blob of slime melts as its hit, leaving a glob of slime on your sword. More blobs bounce forward. You swing at them, and they melt away too. Soon, your sword is covered in sticky, green goop. It feels heavier, harder to swing. More slimes come at you. You swing again, but this time its slower. More slimes. You swing. Swing. Swing. You're so tired. Swing. So tired. More slimes. More slimes. More slimes. There's no way they're letting you reach the next room. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Room1]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You wind up and release a ball of snow. *PWAF* Direct hit!

You swing your wand at a slime and— *SHLUMP* The wand sinks into the slime. You try to pull it back but it's stuck in the sticky goop. Dozens of slimes wake, glaring at you with glowing eyes. They bounce forward, surrounding you, ooze bubbling and gurgling. There's no way they're letting you reach the next room. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Room1]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You wind up and toss your sword into the air. With incredible accuracy, it hits the rusted chain holding the chandelier, slicing right through it! (text-style:"rumble")[*SMASH*] The chandelier slams to the floor with a thunderous noise. It lands on the blobs of slime, leaving a large puddle of ooze on the floor. "Whoa, that actually worked," you say aloud, as you step through the slimy mess, grabbing your sword on the way. [[Enter the next room->Room2]]

[*PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW*] Your wand shoots a stream of sparkles at the torches. You're pretty sure that doesn't actually do anything when— (text-style:"rumble")[*FWOOOOOOOOOOM*] You duck as (text-colour:"green")[green fire] explodes from the torches. For a split-second the room is incredibly hot, but just as suddenly it returns to normal. You pick yourself up off the ground to see the slimes are gone, nothing but crusted green ooze on the floor. You look at your wand with newfound respect. [[Enter the next room->Room2]]

You zip through the crowd of slime, darting from side to side, dodging brilliantly around them, even as they awake and bounce towards you. Using the skills you learned from DJ Cadence, you shimmy and pirouette your way past the bouncing blobs of goo. You arrive at the open door without breaking a sweat. Man, it's good to be a dancer. [[Enter the next room->Room2]]

You zip through the crowd of slime, darting from side to side. You dodge brilliantly around them, even as they awake and bounce towards you. The door is so close when— (text-style:"rumble")[*CRASH*] You trip over your feet, falling to the ground. Before you can pull yourself up, you're surrounded by slimy blobs. They hop towards you, closer and closer. There's no way they're letting you reach the next room. If only you had the agility of a dancer, maybe you could've pulled this off. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Room1]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You slowly slink forward, creeping past the sleeping slimes. It feels like hours as you calculate each move carefully. You're so close to the door. You want to run, but you stay patient, remembering the stealth skills you learned from Dot. With gentle steps, you arrive at the open door, the slimes still deep in slumber. [[Enter the next room->Room2]]

You slowly slink forward, creeping past the sleeping slimes. It feels like hours as you calculate each move carefully. You're almost to the door when— (text-style:"rumble")[*CRASH*] You slip on a patch of slime and fall to the ground. Before you can pull yourself up, you're surrounded by slimy blobs. They hop towards you, closer and closer. There's no way they're letting you reach the next room. If only you could sneak like an EPF Agent, maybe you could have pulled this off. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Room1]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You wind up and toss your wand into the air. With incredible accuracy, the wooden rod hits the rusted chain holding the chandelier... *PING* ...and bounces off. It falls to the ground with a clatter that echoes through the room. Dozens of slimes awaken, their eyes turning to you. They slowly bounce forward until you're surrounded. There's no way they're letting you reach the next room. If only you had a spell you could cast. But you'd need a wand for that. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Room1]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You wind up and toss a snowball into the air. With incredible accuracy, it hits the rusted chain holding the chandelier. *PWAF* The snowball explodes but the chain remains unbroken. The slimes awaken, all at once. They turn their eyes to you, hopping forward. You unleash an endless stream of snowballs at the chandelier. *PWAFPWAFPWAFPWAFPWAFPWAFPWAFPWAFPWAF* Just as it seems hopeless, the rusted chain snaps.

You lift Dragonsbane triumphantly into the air and slash. It hits into a sticky thread and stops. You struggle to pull back, but only manage getting your flipper wrapped in the web. Try as you might, you can't get loose. From the shadow above, a long leg steps out. The beast clicks as it moves, as if laughing gleefully. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Room2]] [[Restart->Intro]]

*PEW PEW PEW* A brilliant light bursts from your wand, striking the web. A glow of (text-colour:purple)[purple] and (text-colour:fuchsia)[pink] magic buzzes through each thread and disappears. Nothing happened, but hey, it was really pretty. [[Examine the spiderweb->Room2]] [[Examine the pile of equipment->JunkPile]]

You whip off dozens of snowballs which burst as they hit the spiderweb. Unfortunately, they cause no damage. From the shadows, a creature hisses. [[Examine the spiderweb->Room2]] [[Examine the pile of equipment->JunkPile]]

As you hold up the torch, the web disintegrates from the heat, leaving a large enough hole to walk through. Ahead is another door. [[Enter the next room->Room3]]

You step into the room. A metal gate crashes behind you, but you kind of expected that by now. There are no other doors in this room. In fact, there's nothing but a pedestal and 5 glowing orbs floating by it, humming softly. [[Examine the pedestal->Pedestal]]

The following is written on the pedestal: *I can whistle without lips I’m cold but I don’t mind If I get too warm, I disappear What am I?* The 5 orbs float by the pedestal, each etched with a word.

You enter into a massive cave. Predictably, a metal gate slams behind you. Cliffs rise from the rock, planted with banners of a dragon's head. To your left is an empty prison cell. There's a large pool of slime nearby, and, next to it, a pedestal with a hole in it. You recognize the shape. This must be where the scepter goes! [[Place the scepter in the pedestal.->Scorn]] [[Look around.->Scorn]]

Before you can take a step— (text-style:"shudder")[*KABOOOOOM!*] A wing reaches from the slime pool and slams onto the edge. You stare in awe as another wing follows it. Then, the head of a dragon whips up and lets out a mighty roar. He looks down, high above you. "You dare face (text-style:"bold")[SCORN THE DRAGON KING]? So there are foolish heroes in this age too." [[Run for cover->Defend]] [[Jump for Scorn's head->Attack]] [[Talk this out rationally->Talk]]

You jump over a (text-colour:"green")[fireball], rolling skillfully behind a large rock. Scorn spews out more fire but it can't reach you. You peek out to see the massive dragon grinning and can't help but wonder if this is the end of your adventure. As you duck back behind the rock, your CPI Phone rings. [[Pick up the phone->FinalCall]]

You try the one thing a dragon wouldn't expect! Sprinting towards Scorn, you jump into the air and— *SPLOOSH* Miss his head by a good twenty feet, instead landing in the pool of slime. "Oh... oh.. yuck," you say. "Blech, it's in my mouth." Scorn looks at you with confusion. [[Splash->Splash]]

"Oh hi," you say, walking up with a smile on your face. "I get grumpy after a long nap too. But y'know what really helps?" Scorn replies by breathing a (text-colour:"green")[green fireball] towards you. [[Run for cover->Defend]] [[Jump onto Scorn's head->Attack]] [[Keep talking->Talk2]]

You jump away, barely dodging the (text-colour:"green")[fireball]. Picking yourself up, you try to reason with Scorn. "You just need a big ol' glass of Seaweed Smoothie," you say. "It's packed with Vitamins A and C! MMmmmm Mmmmm!" Scorn growls and sends another (text-colour:"green")[fireball] your way. [[Run for cover->Defend]] [[Jump onto Scorn's head->Attack]] [[Continue with this bad idea->Talk3]]

You jump back as a (text-colour:"green")[fireball] slams into the ground. "How about yoga?" you shout. "It's very calming!" Scorn unleashes a huge blast of (text-colour:"green")[green fire]. With each dodge you make, another (text-colour:"green")[fireball] bursts forth—closer each time. You're all out of options. Scorn's coming at you and you can't talk your way out of it. You'll have to run and hope that someone else can be the hero. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Scorn]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You used SPLASH! It's not very effective. Scorn looks at you and shakes his head. He scoops you up with his wing and tosses you into the prison cell. You sit there, soaked in slime, in no shape to save the island from ancient evil. Surely, Aunt Arctic will send Jet Pack Guy on a rescue mission, but, until then, you'll just have to sit in your prison cell and wait. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Scorn]] [[Restart->Intro]]

"Eureka! The signal boosters work!" shouts Gary. "Dragon!" you scream. "How do I fight the ancient dragon king, Scorn!?" There's a long pause and you hear the pages of a book being turned. "Oh dear!" says Aunt Arctic. "The page about dragons was torn to shreds during the Great Crab Frenzy." You feel hope fading away. What now...? "Listen!" says Aunt Arctic. "I know you can do this. You have years of training. Go out there and show Scorn what $job can do!"

"With me, Dragonsbane! Ahead, to the jaws of the beast! YAHHHHHHH" You charge forward, rolling under a (text-colour:"green")[flurry of fireballs]. As Scorn bats a wing at you, you swipe with your sword. A look of surprise overtakes his snarling face as he moves back. Then, the dragon opens his jaw and comes at you. You thrust Dragonsbane forward and, again, Scorn is forced back. You rush to the pedestal, holding out your sword, keeping the dragon king at bay. He breathes (text-colour:"green")[fire] from afar, but you slide away as if having done it a thousand times before. Holding the scepter out, you dive for the pedestal. It clicks into place as Scorn makes a final, desperate lunge. His massive jaw speeds at you, about to clamp down! Then, he stops, stiff as a statue. You take a step back to see the great dragon turned into a magnificent stone sculpture, rising from the pool of slime. YOU HAVE DEFEATED SCORN THE DRAGON KING!!! You hear the sound of metal gates lifting. [[Leave the dungeon->KnightExit]]

Your wand sparkles as you stand, rushing forward. Scorn cackles as he moves his head in front of you. "And just what are you going to do with that little wooden stick?" You hold out your wand and— *PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW* "My EYES!" growls Scorn, as he whips his head back. With Scorn dazed, you sprint to the pedestal. The scepter clicks into place as Scorn recovers, making a final, desperate lunge. His massive jaw speeds at you, about to clamp down! Then, he stops, stiff as a statue. You take a step back to see the great dragon turned into a magnificent stone sculpture, rising from the pool of slime. YOU HAVE DEFEATED SCORN THE DRAGON KING!!! You hear the sound of metal gates lifting. [[Leave the dungeon->WizardExit]]

Scorn lunges for you, his mouth wide open. He swallows everything up, dirt and rock included. "You missed me," says your voice. Scorn darts his head around, looking for the source of the sound. "Over here!" Scorn looks to the cliffs above, but sees nothing. "No, over here!" Scorn looks to the rocky shore but, snarling with rage, can't find you. Only when you click the scepter into place does Scorn turn to see you. He makes a final, desperate lunge. His massive jaw speeds at you, about to clamp down! Then, he stops, stiff as a statue. You take a step back to see the great dragon turned into a magnificent stone sculpture, rising from the pool of slime. YOU HAVE DEFEATED SCORN THE DRAGON KING!!! You hear the sound of metal gates lifting. [[Leave the dungeon->EPFExit]]

You flip over a blast of (text-colour:"green")[green flame]. Landing perfectly, you grip a snowball, reaching back and charging up. Scorn inhales. You hold your aim, gripping the snowball tighter. Scorn opens his jaw. You hold. A strange rainbow energy swirls around the snowball. Scorn blows forth a (text-colour:"green")[giant green fireball]. You throw the snowball, unleashing a massive burst of rainbow color. It passes through the fireball, extinguishing it, and continues on at incredible speed. Before Scorn can react, the snowball strikes him in a burst of (text-colour:"red")[r](text-colour:"orange")[a](text-colour:"yellow")[i](text-colour:"green")[n](text-colour:"blue")[b](text-colour:"navy")[o](text-colour:"purple")[w]. He falls back, dazed. You rush to the pedestal, clicking the scepter into place. Scorn, recovered, makes a final, desperate lunge. His massive jaw speeds at you, about to clamp down! Then, he stops, stiff as a statue. You take a step back to see the great dragon turned into a magnificent stone sculpture, rising from the pool of slime. YOU HAVE DEFEATED SCORN THE DRAGON KING!!! You hear the sound of metal gates lifting. [[Leave the dungeon->SnowballerExit]]

You take your CPI Phone, scroll through its playlist and tap on EPIC ISLAND. You jump up as the beat drops, flipping over a (text-colour:"green")[green fireball]. Scorn darts his head at you, mouth wide open. Moving to the music, you shimmy to the side and jump away at the last minute, doing a flipper-stand. Swinging with the beat, you loop through the air, over a (text-colour:"green")[wall of green flame], and you land next to the pedestal. The scepter clicks into place as Scorn makes a final, desperate lunge. His massive jaw speeds at you, about to clamp down! Then, he stops, stiff as a statue. You take a step back to see the great dragon turned into a magnificent stone sculpture, rising from the pool of slime. You strike a pose, holding your flippers up. "Check it!" YOU HAVE DEFEATED SCORN THE DRAGON KING!!! You hear the sound of metal gates lifting. [[Leave the dungeon->DancerExit]]

"I can do this," you say, as you rise to your feet. "I can run away like no penguin ever has!" You sprint at an incredible speed, sliding and flipping over (text-colour:"green")[fireballs]. Turning a corner, you find a small cave and dive in. Outside, you can hear Scorn growling and snorting in frustration, but, after a few minutes, he gives up looking and leaves. Safe in the cave, you draw up the last part of your plan: Wait for Jet Pack Guy to show up and be the hero. You find a cozy spot in the corner and take a nap. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->FinalCall]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You sprint forward, ducking your head low and pointing a shoulder forward. With a mighty *SCHLUUUUP* you run straight into a blob of slime. You stick into the gooey mess as the owner stares at you with disapproving eyes. You suddenly fly backwards, in what can only be described as the slime spitting you out. Dozens of blobs wake, glaring at you with glowing eyes. They bounce forward, surrounding you, ooze bubbling and gurgling. There's no way they're letting you reach the next room. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->Room1]] [[Restart->Intro]]

You charge forward, rolling under a flurry of (text-colour:"green")[fireballs]. As Scorn bats a wing at you, you swipe with the wooden club. The weapon's heavy and causes you to stumble. Scorn takes advantage of the moment, striking with his other wing. (text-style:"rumble")[*THUD*] With a cackle, he scoops you up and tosses you into the prison cell. You sit there, soaked in slime, in no shape to save the island from ancient evil. Surely, Aunt Arctic will send Jet Pack Guy on a rescue mission, but, until then, you'll just have to sit in your prison cell and wait. THE END [[Return to Checkpoint->FinalCall]] [[Restart->Intro]]

As you emerge at Beacon Boardwalk, you're greeted by a crowd of cheering penguins, led by Aunt Arctic and Gary the Gadget Guy. Peace returns to the island. YEARS LATER... With Rory's help, you build a fortress near Coconut Cove. The best and brightest penguins train under you, becoming knights themselves, vowing to protect all of penguinkind from evil. The group becomes known as THE COCONUT GUARDS. At night, around the fire, they tell stories of their brave knight-commander who saved the island from a fiery, ancient dragon named Scorn.

As you emerge at Beacon Boardwalk, you're greeted by a crowd of cheering penguins, led by Aunt Arctic and Gary the Gadget Guy. Peace returns to the island. YEARS LATER... You disappear one morning without a trace, and, over time, your story becomes the stuff of legends. Those who saw you emerge from the dungeon swear that the tales are true, but others think of it as a fairytale. Then, one day, you return. Under a hooded cloak, you sail up on a small raft. Aunt Arctic waits on the shore. "It is good to see you, friend," she says. "Are you ready to be the island's greatest defender?" You nod, showing Aunt Arctic what you've learned. Fire, water, earth, and wind float and swirl around your flipper. "Very good. This is for you then," she says, as she holds out the Island Codex.

As you emerge at Beacon Boardwalk, you're greeted by a crowd of cheering penguins, led by Aunt Arctic and Gary the Gadget Guy. Peace returns to the island. YEARS LATER... You've experienced so many adventures. Defeated Herbert. Stopped Shellbeard. Yet your quest against Scorn is what the EPF recruits always want to hear. You train them to the best of your ability, using the knowledge you've learned from your friends—Dot, Aunt Arctic, Rookie, and Jet Pack Guy. One afternoon, Aunt Arctic comes to you. "I have a great task for you," she says. "A greater challenge than you've ever faced." Aunt Arctic holds the Island Codex out to you. "I know you're the right person for the job... Director."

As you emerge at Beacon Boardwalk, you're greeted by a crowd of cheering penguins, led by Aunt Arctic and Gary the Gadget Guy. Peace returns to the island. YEARS LATER... You wake up, stepping out from your shack on Mount Blizzard. You're greeted by the cold mountain air. "Ready to get to work?" asks Rookie. The scent of pine trees and hot cocoa floats in the air. Excited tubers can be heard in the distance. Maybe the best part is what you can't hear: no rumbling of dungeon doors, no cackling of ancient dragons. It's peaceful. It's cold. It's exactly how you want it. You look over to Rookie and smile. "Ready, pal." THE END [[Play again->Intro]] Hint: Each class has a unique ending

A narrow opening leads into the earth. Roots hang from the roof of the cavern and twist along its walls. You follow the path, swallowing your fear as (text-style:"smear")[darkness grows around you. You guide yourself by running your flipper along the dirt wall. It's oddly warm to the touch. You can hardly see when, finally, a] light glows in front of you. Two torches burn with a peculiar (text-colour:green)[green fire], and between them is a stone archway leading into a room. [[Enter the room->Room1]] [[Think back to a simpler time->Simple]]
