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.

>>613460
Must be BIRDSHIT from the giant ROC that lives on the mountain.

>>613493
hey, they're still white, so only the smell changes, really.

>>613460
Could we not do that? I see no reason to pointlessly make the townspeople suffer.

>what do
Obviously, we and our (summoned and mind controlled) allies mount up on gryphons and fly to face our foes!

>>613598
The townspeople aren't living on the mountain, silly.

Changing my spell deployment:

Cancel (Give Them -> Gate Theirs)
Deploy (Them Though -> Those Treasures)

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.

>Cast a Spell

[PLAYER INVENTORY]
3x DELIGHTFUL Twigs

1x Pocketed Acorn

Change SPINE WHIPS to SAUSAGE WRAPS.
Deadly... to your diet!

Change wield to want, effectively disarming the skeletons. Since they are now wanting for deadly weapons instead of wielding them.

Someone else will have to magic up weapons for the brutes.

Aw yeah, the cooldown on the forest inventory items is finished! We can make weapons or tools out of sticks and leaves - literally!

I wanted to suggest making a lightsaber or three, but

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

(because clearly their fibula bones are missing)

Now they're just stubby little skeletons.
Quick, someone seal the deal and take out their arms or hands!

FEMUR CLUBS to FINE CHINA, now if only they had some TOMATO SOUP the skeletons could get on with serving us our lunch.

>>616786
Change two DELIGHTFUL leaves into DAMASCUS LONGSWORDs for the brutes.

I would turn a twig into a tank but they don't know how to drive one.

>>616813

Yay lunch!

Cancel (have -> had)

Deploy the following combo:

The [SKELETONS] <WANT> a variety of [DEADLY WEAPONS]<, IMPORTING FINE CHINA, SAUSAGE WRAPS,> and... and...

dd4ed3 changed wield to want, I'm changing the others in a single combo!

82c018 and 33565b, you're clear to cast! Someone seal the deal and turn those tibulas into tomatoes!

Change TIBULAS into TUMBLEWEEDS.
they'll work perfectly for the anti-climax that is trying to fight a mighty verbumancer!

>>616828
...if we make it so they're wanting non-weapons, then that implies they could still have weapons of some kind.

We want to say they don't have something, or change what they have. Not change both so they don't have something they didn't have to start with. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Turn
>the BRUTES
into
>TRUE BROS
To cement their loyalty.

>>616786
Turn "Tibia Swords" into "Timid Snakes". Their weapons will run away, into some hole!

Turn the POCKETED ACORN into POWERFUL ARTILLERY.

>>617012
No not yet, we've basically disarmed our opponents and gotten the brutes some long swords, we need to save some potential weaponry spells for the latter challenges.

>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]

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

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.]

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.

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