FYI, the word and its replacement have to start with the same letter. Furthermore, unfortunately, we are no longer able to affect that part of the story. However! Nice catch! We could have probably done something with that! Like...yeah, I dunno, I'd need to think for a while and consult a dictionary.

Also, we suspect a rival Verbumancer because they're bracketed out, which explicitly means they've recently been affected by Verbumancy.

Pastrami Bombi plan is a go! You wander around the cottage for a bit as RONALDO straps pastrami slices to the bomb. It doesn't seem like it will take him long so you probably won't have much time to explore. choosing one of the doors at random, you throw it open and peer inside.

This room appears to be a study of sorts. There a couple bookcases with journals filled with DELIGHTFUL poetry. A desk sits under a large window overlooking parts of the WIZARD'S DELIGHTFUL garden. It seems that he was attempting to write his own poetry based on the papers scattered about his desk. What really catches your attention though is a small jar containing a flower. It seems that the flower is two seperate colors, but upon closer inspection you see that it's actually in the middle of changing colors.

"Hey, the bomb is ready. Lets get going." RONALDO calls out from the kitchen. You snatch the now RED FLOWER and hurry back out of the room.

RONALDO has packed his things back up and stands ready under one of the small windows too high up for the MELETURES to reach. "Alright, on the count of three just pop the window open... One... Two... THREE!"

The PASTRAMI BOMBI sails out the window and the MELETURES shriek and scramble over each other to be the first to reach the tasty treat. Once the doorway is clear, RONALDO quietly pushes it open and hurries out. You both run away from the pack of MELETURES, down the path towards the mountain. Behind you, you hear a sudden blast followed by high pitched cries as the surviving MELETURES scramble to catch bits of their exploded comrades. Several fights erupt over the particularly meaty hunks that rain down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RONALDO doesn't stop running until the [DELIGHTFUL COTTAGE] is out of sight.

"There, the [MELETURES] should not follow us this far from the [FOREST]." He pants, stopping to catch his breath. "Well... atleast I hope not... we should keep moving."

It's a long walk before you finally reach the mountains. It was hard to tell at a distance, but there appears to be a small village nestled right up against the mountain's base. RONALDO seems relieved to see it and hurries ahead of you.

The houses are all made of stone and wood, clearly a poorer town but it's citizens seem cheerful as they go about their daily lives. Everyone seems to know of RONALDO and they all excitedly gather around him as he tries to make his way through the town. "Yes, hello, I'm very busy right now. Please, get out of the way!"

As RONALDO struggles with his fans, [you notice a beautiful, young woman staring at you. She blushes and quickly hurries away when you notice her, vanishing around the corner of one of the houses.]

Change "poorer" into "prosperous". Although it makes me wonder, being made of stone and wood already counting as prosperous...

Turn stones into salves or wood into wires. Just turn the village into your personal supply crate, I'm sure that it's neutral karma after you make them prosperous!

Turn the MOUNTAINS into MOLEHILLS for easier transportation.
Also, turn the STONE and WOOD into STEEL and WHITE-GOLD.

I vote for your STONE -> STEEL idea. The wood to white gold? Not so much.

I focus my own suggestion on WOOD -> WIRE. You now have crafting materials! Take as much as you want, and then have Ronaldo do some parlor tricks to pay for the expenses.

"SMALL VILLAGE" is now "SEASIDE VILLA".

How about changing the SMALL village to SIZABLE village?

RONALDO doesn't stop running until the DELIGHTFUL COTTAGE is out of sight.

"There, the MELETURES SHALL NEVER follow us this far from the FOREST. Just... take my word for it." He pants, stopping to catch his breath. "Well... atleast I hope not... we should keep moving."

It's a long walk before you finally reach the mountains. It was hard to see at a distance, but there's a SIZABLE TOWN nestled right up against the base of the mountains. RONALDO seems relieved to see it and hurries ahead of you.

The houses are HUGE, almost like mansions, with intricate designs carved into them and store fronts set up outside. They all seem to be made of stone and wood, clearly a PROSPEROUS town, it's citizens seem cheerful as they go about their daily lives, dressed in only the finest wares that money can buy. Everyone seems to know of RONALDO and they all excitedly grant avenue to him as he tries to make his way through the town. Everytime he tries to approach one of them, the crowd shifts and moves away from him to ensure that he always has a clear path. "No, I need to... Look I'm not going to shout at you just stand still I only want to- I only want to ask a few questions!"

RONALDO ends up chasing several of the villagers around in circles as they woop and holler, making a game of it. It is very amusing to watch. Eventually RONALDO tires himself out and gives up, returning to your side momentarily exhausted. "Just... give me a moment."

AFTER RONALDO STRUGGLED with his fans, you notice a beautiful, young woman staring at you. She blushes and quickly hurries away when you notice her, vanishing around the corner of one of the houses.

"Hmm... I don't like the look of that... She was definitely not one of the usual villagers. We should be on our guard."

>>610028
>Ask the fans who that girl is.
RONALDO asks some of the villagers but none of them seem to know anything about the girl.

>Follow her
RONALDO agrees that this would be the best plan of action. Better to find out what's going on rather than be ambushed later.

Several spells fizzle as well due to multi-casting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RONALDO leads the way towards the house you saw the [beautiful, young woman vanish around.] He peeks around the corner before motioning you to follow him.

You follow RONALDO around the house, stopping just before you enter the back yard. You can hear [several voices talking.]

Carefully, you both peek around the corner. The [young woman is there, facing the] building [and... is talking to herself?]

["... is in the village now. Yes, I know what I must do, we cannot let him go any further. I will try to get the Verbumancer alone so that they cannot interrupt."]

["Bah!" Says a second voice. "That blasted Verbumancer makes me so angry! We will have our revenge!"]

["Yes! He will not stop our plans! We will rule this world!" Says a third voice.]

You look around the backyard again to try and find the source of the two extra voices. There are several small apple trees with plump, red apples dangling off the branches. Under one of the trees you see a wooden bench with a couple of books sitting on the end of it. In the center of the garden is a small pond filled with crystal clear water, where large goldfish lazily swim about, picking at the colorful pebbles at the bottom of the pond in search of scraps from their last meal. Besides [the beautiful, young woman] there does not appear to be anyone else around.

"They don't sound too bright." RONALDO whispers. "Should we jump them now or set our own trap for later?"

Yesss, upvoting this. A bomb could be used against us, a bong not so much. Also this would be an interesting test of how much effect we can have on the bracketed via context.

Downvoting pebbles to pope, since a pope being present at her meeting would more likely than not be a fellow conspirator.

Since 8bd2b1 changed the "goldfish to griffons" for me, I'm changing my deployment to

RONALDO leads the way towards the HUGE BONG you saw the beautiful, young woman vanish around. He peeks around the side before motioning you to follow him.

You follow RONALDO around the HUGE BONG, stopping just before you enter the back yard. You can hear several voices talking.

Carefully, you both peek around the side. The young woman is there, facing the BONG and... is talking to herself?

"... is in the village now. Yes, I know what I must do, we cannot let him go any further. I will try to get the Verbumancer alone so that they cannot interrupt."

"Bah!" Says a second voice. "That blasted Verbumancer makes me so angry! We will have our revenge!"

"Yes! He will not stop our plans! We will rule this world!" Says a third voice.

You look around the backyard again to try and find the source of the two extra voices. There are several small apple trees with plump, red ANTENNAS poorly disguised to look like apples dangling off the branches. It seems that the town's local PIRATE RADIO STATION needed somewhere the authorities wouldn't find them. Under one of the trees you see a wooden bench with a couple of BRUTES sitting on the end of it. In the center of the garden is a small pond filled with crystal clear water, where LOYAL GRIFFINS lazily swim about, picking at the colorful pebbles at the bottom of the pond in search of SUPERVISORS FOR THY LATEST MISSION. Besides the beautiful, young woman and the BRUTES there does not appear to be anyone else around.

When you look through the bong you can make out the shape of two other people besides the woman, but when you peer around the edge again, they aren't there. Strange...

"They don't sound too bright." RONALDO whispers. "Should we jump them now or set our own trap for later?"

With everything in place now RONALDO leaps out from the hiding spot. "RETURN MY ARTIFACTS AT ONCE OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!"

"HE FOLLOWED YOU?!" "TAKE CARE OF THIS OR ELSE!" The two mysterious voices say nearly at once.

"You BRUTES! The first one to tie up the Verbumancer gets all the gold you can carry!" The woman shouts. The Brutes look at one another, then hurriedly fight each other to be the first to grab RONALDO.

The BRUTES are quickly intercepted by THY LOYAL GRIFFONS once they notice that RONALDO is behind them and not trapped at the bottom of the pond. One of the griffins pins the woman down before she can run.

"Yes, good work!" RONALDO says before leaning over to you. "They're not too bright either, just... don't say anything to them."

A quick check of the area reveals that whoever she had been speaking too had left during the small scuffle. You grab a few COLORFUL PEBBLES before returning to RONALDO to interrogate your new prisoner.

"So... what do you think we should ask her?"

I shall change one of the COLORFUL PEBBLES into a COMMANDING PILL, which will make the woman susceptible to suggestions - and our questions.

Turn the beautiful, young woman into a BENEVOLENT, YELLING WALRUS.

She may be less beautiful, but hopefully she is now nice enough to shout her knowledge at you.

Bad idea. If she's a verbumancer, she could use our own words against us. Strangle her unconscious using the famous Dungwall Special!

>>612830
You're despicable. AND I DIG IT!

>>612835
The woman had brackets around her, she's unchangeable.

*Double Take*
Hey, it looks like the flower finally changed color. Interesting little experiment.

Boy, for a second there I thought that there was a verbumancer who used different rules to change words - or worse, one who could change anything (maybe even the magical artifacts) at will! I wonder if verbumancers have some kind of defense against that...

Now then, can you change Yard -> Yakuzas?

I think you should pet the griffins, after that shameless flirting!

You decide to knock out the woman before she can cause more trouble and begin to wind up the DUNGWALL SPECIAL! OH YEAH! THE PAIN TRAIN IS HERE AND LADY, YOU'VE GOT A ONE WAY TICKET TO LIGHTSOUTVILLE! WOOO WOOOO! ALL ABOAR-

RONALDO smacks you and reminds you that if she is unconscious then she won't be able to answer questions.

You tell RONALDO that he could've just asked you to stop instead of smacking you.

RONALDO says he did several times but you were too busy making train noises.

You pout and pet one of the griffins.

RONALDO says if it makes you feel better, he thought you DID look pretty cool. Maybe you could just save it for the next fight?

You and RONALDO make up and have a totally awesome bro-hug. Much better.

Now that that's out of the way you get back to business. You change one of your COLORFUL PEBBLES into a CONVENIENT POLYGRAPH that is easy to hook up and operate. You try asking the woman politely about who her accomplices were and what she was planning.

"I will NEVER talk! We will END you Verbumancer! For your cri-!" The woman suddenly has the air pressed out of her and the griffin pinning her down shifts into a more comfortable position.

The CONVENIENT POLYGRAPH politely tells you that she is telling the truth.

You change one of the COLORFUL PEBBLES into a COMMANDING PILL and force the woman to swallow it.

"Answer our questions." Commands RONALDO

The woman struggles for a moment before through gritted teeth she says "As you command."

>Ask her who those two men were. Why could you not see them normally?

"They are my masters. The harbringers of your end. I do not know why you could not see them normally, perhaps you were not looking hard enough?

>Would you mind telling me who you are, who your associates are, and what you're planning here? And why?

"I am but a pawn to fulfill my master's wishes. We plan on destroying the blasted Verbumancer for his past crimes."

The CONVENIENT POLYGRAPH tells you she is now telling the truth.

"It looks like she was recently created." RONALDO says, studying her. "I don't think she has any sort of name or anything... Hm... Tell us where your masters are."

"Their fortress on at the peak of the mountains. You will not pass through."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RONALDO stands and looks out over the yard. The [LOYAL GRIFFINS sit atop the woman and BRUTES, waiting their next command.] The apple trees rustle as a gentle breeze passes, [the ANTENNAS blink silently and you wonder why someone would fill a tree with them.] In the distance you can see the mountains jutting out over the [HUGE] houses, the tops painted white with a layer of snow.

RONALDO leans against the [MASSIVE BONG] and strokes his [beard]. "We should head out as soon as possible. The more time we wait, the more time we give them to plan. We need to figure out what we're going to do with them though."

The [BRUTES, LOYAL GRIFFINS, and the woman, now under the affects of the COMMANDING PILL], look up at RONALDO.

Gentle breeze into ginormous beaver, after these happens ride griffon onto said beaver. Then ride that beaver to the mountain, because beavers are the natural ally of the griffon.

Command the woman to be absolutely loyal to Ronaldo. Then command her to hide somewhere far away where her organization will never find her. As for the brutes, order her to order them to follow your command. Then, mount the brutes on the griffons. You now have two cavalry airstrikes.

Those colorful pebbles are REALLY convenient! Get some more!

GIVE THEM -> GATE THEIRS
(Gate is a synonym of "Take". We now take away time from our enemies by procrastinating!)

Turn mountains into molehills.

Then ride the griffons to the castle.

First ask the woman what crimes they are accusing RONALDO of. Who are these other Verbumancers to make such claims?

>>613401
No! If we could see the MOLEHILLS from the distance, that would mean they were giant, which would mean giant moles or mole-men, which would mean out enemy would be none other than THE DREAD CYCLOPS!

Instead lets change them to MATCHSTICKS. While they would still be giant, that would work in our favor, since we won't need to pass through the castle if we can just set fire to its foundations.

Change "layers of snow" -> "layers of shit"

For snows and giggles.

Must be BIRDSHIT from the giant ROC that lives on the mountain.

Suddenly, Ronaldo realizes that the young woman and her cohorts dropped some powerful jewelry! Maybe one of those items is a Magical Artifact?

>>613598
>>613604
Well, on the other side now we know why they're so prosperous: bird guano (shit) is a good fertilizer. And they live right next to a mountain full of it. They must be the agricultural/industrial powerhouse of the region, rich from fertile farms + selling bird fertilizer to other areas.

RONALDO stands and looks out over the yard. The LOYAL GRIFFINS sit atop the woman and BRUTES, waiting their next command. The apple trees rustle as a GINORMOUS BEAVER passes, the ANTENNAS blink silently and you wonder why someone would fill a tree with them. In the distance you can see the MATCHSTICKS jutting out over the HUGE houses, the tops painted white with a layer of SHIT.

RONALDO leans against the MASSIVE BONG and strokes his beard. "We should head out as soon as possible. The more time we wait, the more time we give them to PARTY."

The WOMAN interrupts with a scoff. "They'll party after your downfall wizard. Now they plan your doom Ver-"

RONALDO commands the woman to be silent and continues talking. "We need to figure out what we're going to do with THOSE TREASURES.."

The BRUTES, LOYAL GRIFFINS, and the woman, now under the affects of the COMMANDING PILL, look up at RONALDO in confusion.

"What treasures? You're.... You're not referring to us as 'those treasures' right?" One of the BRUTES says nervously.

RONALDO narrows his eyes at you and shakes his head. Not cool man, swapping words around to make him say weird things and seem like some kind of creepy nutjob.

You gather more pebbles before asking the WOMAN what crimes RONALDO is being accused of.

"Murder, genocide! No... much worse. Worse than that. He will pay for what he did!" The WOMAN doesn't seem to know much more about this subject.

You ask about the other Verbumancers but the woman only looks confused. RONALDO huffs and shakes his head. "Enough wasting time. She was only created not too long ago for the express purpose of slowing us down and it's working. They're insane whoever her creators are. They stole all of my ARTIFACTS and are messing up everything! We cannot afford to wait around any longer."

>Ride griffon onto beaver. Then ride that beaver to the mountain.

Ok so it's a pretty GINORMOUS BEAVER, but only compared to other beavers. The thing could probably gnaw your leg off easily but it's not big enough to carry you and the LOYAL GRIFFINS up the mountain. Why would you do that anyway? The Griffins can fly.

>Command the woman hide somewhere far away where her organization will never find her

You do and, once the GRIFFIN gets off her, she hops up and runs off, cursing RONALDO as she goes.

>As for the brutes, order her to order them to follow your command.

You have to chase the WOMAN down to get her to come back and do this for you before telling her to go into hiding again. The BRUTES don't seem to care who runs the show as long as they get paid in the end.

With that settled you, RONALDO, and the brutes hop onto a LOYAL GRIFFIN and take off towards the SHIT COVERED MATCHSTICKS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you fly up you notice that one of the [SHIT COVERED MATCHSTICKS is actually a FORBODING MOUNTAIN FORTRESS.] RONALDO sighs with relief knowing that his good robes won't be covered in [SHIT] now.

You land just outside of the [FORTRESS GATES. The FORBODING MOUNTAIN FORTRESS is a large, grey, stone structure that... well... that looks exactly like what a stereotypical FOREBODING FORTRESS would look like. There's even giant skulls, torn up black banners, and giant, needless spikes all over the walls. Lightning keeps crashing behind it too even though the sky is clear.]

RONALDO rolls his eyes. "Why did someone with no creativity steal my [ARTIFACTS?] They aren't even doing anything interesting with it. This is... this just... eugh..."

Before RONALDO has a chance to be EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the [FORTRESS design, the FORTRESS GATES open and a small army of SKELETAL SOLDIERS begins to pour out.] The [SKELETONS] wield a variety of [DEADLY WEAPONS] including FEMUR CLUBS, SPINE WHIPS, and... and...

Oh shit, what bone is that? That's the FIBULA right? They have FIBULA SWORDS!

RONALDO snorts and says that the [SKELETONS] are CLEARLY wielding TIBIA SWORDS, not FIBULA SWORDS. Who would even make a sword out of the FIBULA? That would be better suited for arrows.

The LOYAL GRIFFINS prepare to fight while the BRUTES remind you that they would enjoy fighting a [SKELETON ARMY] too if they had weapons.

As you fly up you notice that one of the SHIT COVERED MATCHSTICKS is actually a FORBODING MOUNTAIN FORTRESS. RONALDO sighs with relief knowing that his good robes won't be covered in SHIT now.

You land just outside of the FORTRESS GATES. The FORBODING MOUNTAIN FORTRESS is a large, grey, stone structure that... well... that looks exactly like what a stereotypical FOREBODING FORTRESS would look like. There's even giant skulls, torn up black banners, and giant, needless spikes all over the walls. Lightning keeps crashing behind it too even though the sky is clear.

RONALDO rolls his eyes. "Why did someone with no creativity steal my ARTIFACTS? They aren't even doing anything interesting with it. This is... this just... eugh..."

Before RONALDO has a chance to be EXTREMEMLY DISSAPPOINTED with the FORTRESS, the FORTRESS GATES open and a small army of SKELETAL SOLDIERS begins to pour out. The SKELETONS wield a variety of DEADLY WEAPONS including FINE CHINA, SAUSAGE WRAPS, and... and...

Oh shit, what bone is that? That's the FIBULA right? They have FIBULA SWORDS!

RONALDO snorts and says that the SKELETONS are CLEARLY wielding TIMID SNAKES, not FIBULA SWORDS. Who would even make a sword out of the FIBULA? That would be better suited for arrows.

The LOYAL GRIFFINS prepare to fight while TRUE BROS remind you that they would enjoy fighting a SKELETON ARMY too if they had weapons.

>Change two DELIGHTFUL leaves into DAMASCUS LONGSWORDs for the BROS.

You change two of the DELIGHTFUL leaves into DAMSCUS LONGSWORDS and them over to the TRUE BROS. They excitedly take them and show their appreciation through fist pounding, chest bumping, and exclamations of "YEAH!" and "BRO!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The combined force of your [LOYAL GRIFFINS and TRUE BROS wielding DAMASCUS LONGSWORDS] make short work of the [SKELETON ARMY. The MOUNTAIN is now covered in bones and shattered china bits. The TIMID SNAKES are nowhere to be seen, having escaped sometime during the scuffle.] The [TRUE BROS] are too busy taking selfies and celebrating their victory with the [LOYAL GRIFFINS] to notice [the small group of SKELETONS assaulting RONALDO though.]

[The SKELETONS push and tug at] RONALDO's robes, [attempting to take him to their master's inside the FORBODING MOUNTAIN FORTRESS.] RONALDO tries to call for help but every time he opens his mouth [one of the SKELETONS attempts to shove a SAUSAGE WRAP into it.]

"HEL-pffft Get that thing away from me you da-phphpht STOP IT, it's cold and disgu-thpt, STOP, you're getting [SAUSAGE] in my beard!"

[THE SKELETONS] begin to take RONALDO into the [FORBODING MOUNTAIN FORTRESS]

[PLAYER INVENTORY]

1x Pocketed Acorn
[1x Jar containing 1x PURPLE FLOWER]
3x Colorful Pebbles

mouth -> magnum

Someone use "opens" into something for a gun! Operates?

>>617991
You know... I think we should just follow this time. The skeletons aren't harming Ronaldo and I don't see any good ways to foil them.

begin to take -> BLUNDERINGLY TRY TALKING
Maybe we can get some information out of them.

>>617999
Don't do that; that would replace his mouth with a gun.

>>618009
I agree with this. They're unarmed and unlikely to be able to actually hurt Ronaldo.
We're going into the fortress anyway, so it'd be easier to just let them lead us straight to their vile masters.

Change notice to neglect, that should get Renaldo some help. I think we'd rather walk into the castle on our own terms instead of letting the skeletons force us down their path.

>what do
Get the attention of the true bros (Hey Bro! Over here) and follow Ronaldo. We needed to get inside anyways.

No real need for spells at this point.

>>618011
Second.

Cancel (Mouth -> Magnum)
Deploy (Beard -> Bologna)

MORE MEAT! MORE MEAT! MORE MEAT!

>>618238
Don't replace Ronaldo's beard! It's a fundamental part of who he is!
Also, this would literally accomplish nothing except add to the problem of the meat being used to silence him in the first place.

combined force --> colossal farts

because I'm 5 years old.

>>618296
Well we're not really replacing his beard with bologna, it's just that the skeletons seem to be stuffing their sausage wraps in Ronaldo's bologna every time he moves.
The bologna in question, however, is still at the restaurant he bought it from.
So by that logic, the skeletons are actually nowhere near Ronaldo, but now some Italian restaurant is swarmed with skeletons wielding sausage wraps. The owner is calling the Don right at this moment.

>>618624
Oh, I forgot my own suggestion for a spell:
"begin to take RONALDO" -> "bargain to take RONALDO"
So we can buy a bit of time while RONALDO haggles with the skeletons.

>>618296
When we changed beard to bear, he still had a beard even after the bear appeared.

Yeah, just go with it.

>>617991
began to take > beg to take

That should stop them and gives us time to talk down the skeletons

>every time he opens his mouth [one of the SKELETONS attempts to shove a SAUSAGE WRAP into it.]
>"you're getting [SAUSAGE] in my beard!"

Still, the sausage is being fed to his mouth, so if we change beard to bologna, then he has both sausage and bologna in his mouth.

> begin to take RONALDO into the
Take -> taunt

"Colorful Pebbles" --> "Child Pornography"

>>618918
Don't do that; we might need those pebbles later.

>>618918
I don't know why you think that would be useful, but also downvoting.

>>618671
how about begged instead of beg, stops them and as its a past action they cant ask again.

>>618918
Downvote. This joke was already made.

Cancel (beard -> bologna)
Deploy (robes -> rhinoceros)

>>619274
hahaha
Canceling my previous vote and upvoting this. The skeletons will be assaulted by a raging rhinoceros.
