Chapter 4A: The Punchline Pass
You clear your throat and put on your best grin. “Alright, Gelatinous Jiggler, prepare to be amused! What do you call a jigsaw puzzle that takes 1,000 years to complete? A jigsaw-saurus!”
The Jiggler pauses for a moment, its gooey face scrunched up in concentration. Suddenly, it bursts into a fit of wobbly laughter, its entire body quivering with mirth.
“Hahaha! A jigsaw-saurus! That's a good one, adventurer!” it giggles, wiping a gelatinous tear from its eye. “You've proven yourself worthy of passing through my domain. Go forth and continue your journey, but remember to keep that sense of humor sharp!”
With a final chuckle and a “Bawk!” of amusement from Colonel Clucks, you bid farewell to the Gelatinous Jiggler and proceed to the next room, your wit and comedic timing having served you well.
