Chapter 3B: The Pun Puzzle
With your pack full of delectable pastries and a newfound appreciation for the art of negotiation, you and Colonel Clucks continue your journey through the Dungeon of Dreadful Dreads. As you enter the next chamber, you find yourself face-to-face with an enormous, ornate door. Upon closer inspection, you notice that the door is adorned with intricate carvings and a large, golden doorknob that seems to be… smirking?
“Greetings, adventurer!” the doorknob suddenly speaks, its voice a melodic twang. “I am the Knob of Knowledge, keeper of the Pun Puzzle. If you wish to pass through this door and continue your quest, you must first solve my riddle. Are you ready?”
You glance at Colonel Clucks, who gives you an encouraging nod. “Alright, Knob of Knowledge,” you say, your voice filled with determination. “Let's hear your riddle.”
The doorknob clears its throat (somehow) and begins:
“What do you call a mischievous egg?”
You scratch your chin, your mind whirring with possibilities. Colonel Clucks tilts his head, equally puzzled. The Knob of Knowledge grins, confident in the difficulty of its riddle.
What do you do?
