> Remind yourself to take a long nap after all of this.
Your To-Do list has gotten very long at this point.
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.> Figure out where the sound is coming from.
"I just want what everyone else has, that's all.">Fuck it, might as well cross one of those items off the list.
>Stare at Dwarf Princess as non-creepily as you can.
Long live the New Bev.>Fuck it, might as well cross one of those items off the list.

> Figure out where the sound is coming from.
You head outside, back onto the empty rampart. You can't see what's going on from this distance, but it seems that some kind of commotion is going on by the front gate of the fortress...
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.To the commotion!
>Then to save Mothy.
>We may need Army for that.
>To action!
"We be we baby!">Then to save Mothy.
>We may need Army for that.
>To the commotion!
>To action!
You quickly trace your way back through the ramparts and the inside of the fortress walls, exiting back out near the front gate. Stepping outside, you look around, and spot Lantern Knight a few meters away from the fortress' entrance, doing battle with a number of guards!
...And thoroughly thrashing them. There are five guards up and about, but you count at least seven people unconscious and on the ground.
Then you hear a loud crack, and count eight.
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.>Time to back up Lantern Knigh- wait.
>Ask the two princesses for their opinion. "Look for sword first, or help Lantern? He'll probably be raising the alarm."
>Does it look like he's got this?
>Also, remove the Knight Princess thing from your list. As funny as it is, there is no way such a silly thing could happen.
Long live the New Bev.>Time to back up Lantern Knigh- wait.
Uhhhhh...
>Does it look like he's got this?
Uhh... Yeah.
>Ask the two princesses for their opinion. "Look for sword first, or help Lantern? He'll probably be raising the alarm."
"Well... I mean... We should help him... right...?"
"Nah, but I wanna watch. This is funny."
Thwack.
That's another guard on the ground.
"Hilarious."
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.>Get back to finding Mothy and Sword!
"We be we baby!">Get back to finding Mothy and Sword!
Where do you want to go then?
While you think it over, there's another thwack, and another guy on the ground.
"Where is that knight from?"
"Canopy Kingdom I think."
"Kobold's kingdom? Did Kobold Knight not come out here?"
"Eh, I dunno. There's a lot of these guys running around right now."
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.>Go back to the ramparts
"We be we baby!">Back to the tower Sword was first kept at!
Boy gee howdy I sure do love letting the thread die over the weekend.
Also, for the sake of getting out of this fortress faster, we're gonna go back to the ramparts instead of Sword Princess' tower. Spoilers, but there's nothing in there.
>Go back to the ramparts
Lantern Knight has this handled, so you opt to go back to exploring the ramparts.
Dwarf Princess lags behind for a second, but follows you after seeing Lantern Knight knock down one more guard.
You retrace your steps one last time, and find yourself back in the rise on the North-east corner of the fortress.
What's the plan now?
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.>Whatever plan gets us out of this fucking tower with our fucking friends the fucking fastest.
>Fuck.
Long live the New Bev.>Whatever plan gets us out of this fucking tower with our fucking friends the fucking fastest.
>Fuck.
You should be done soon. There's one last rise on the ramparts, and only a select few rooms left in the main castle.
We'll get out of here soon, I promise.
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.> Check out that rise.
"I just want what everyone else has, that's all."> Check out that rise.
You head down the rampart to the final rise you haven't visited.
Heading inside leads to another circular room, Once again, it's mostly empty save for a few dish-laden tables, and a lone chest in the corner of the room.
You uh... Also notice that the chest is... snoring...
Not suspicious in the least bit...
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.>Listen closer. Is it the chest itself snoring, or its contents?
Long live the New Bev.>Listen closer. Is it the chest itself snoring, or its contents?
You get a bit closer, and it seems to be the chest itself, every snore is accompanied by the lid rising and falling an inch or two.
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.>Punch it.
You punch the lid. It doesn't do any visible damage to the chest, but it does elicit a startled "What?" from inside.
You see the chest begin to open, but before whatever is inside can finish doing so, there's a loud cracking noise, and Dwarf Princess' axe is now firmly planted in the top of the chest.
You make a mental note to stop trying to punch things.
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.
>How much more do we have to do in this fucking fortress again?
Long live the New Bev.
