A Joyous (but Properly Restrained) Reunion
|
As you exit a small sea-cave that you'd been exploring, you spot the strange golden fish that talked to you earlier. You wave him over to you and deliver his bicycle. The fish is clearly pleased to have the bicycle back--as clearly pleased as a stiff English accent and a fish's features can convey. "I must say I'd rather given this up for lost. Good show, finding it, old chap! My gratitude is as wide as the ocean and as deep as the sea. As a reward for your kind service, you may choose from two fine prizes.
The first is a weapon which will aid you in fighting the foe you seek. However, if a weapon is not to your liking, you may instead choose valuables, and I shall give you a lost treasure. Which do you choose?"
Options:
- Take the weapon
- Take the loot

Take the Weapon
You announce that you'd like the weapon. "Very well," says the fish. It swims to the ocean floor not ten feet away from you and waves its fins vigorously. A cloud of mud rises from the bottom, but when it clears you see something shiny partially protruding from the muck. You reach down and pull out a strange contraption--it appears to be a handheld staff fitted with numerous circular blades. A button near the handle turns them on and off--when active they whirl with a dangerous velocity.
You look up from the weapon with the intention of thanking the fish, but both it and the bicycle are gone.
You got an item: Bass-O-Matic 77

Take the Loot
You announce that you'd like the cash. "Very well," says the fish. It swims to the ocean floor five feet away from you and waves his fins vigorously. A cloud of mud rises from the bottom, but when it clears you see a small pile of golden coins sitting on the seabed. You quickly pluck up the coins and pocket them.
Eventually you realize you should thank the fish, but when you look up both it and the bicycle are gone. So you shrug your shoulders--a difficult task in diving gear, let me assure you--and head back into town to sell the coins. Turns out they're pretty valuable!
You gain 2500 chips.
