Chapter 4B: The Ticklish Tactic
A mischievous grin spreads across your face as you approach the Gelatinous Jiggler. “Oh, Jiggler!” you sing-song. “I have a surprise for you!”
Before the Jiggler can respond, you reach out and start tickling its gooey sides. The creature's eyes widen in surprise, and it begins to quiver and shake, a giggle building up inside its gelatinous form.
“Hehehe… No, stop! That tickles!” the Jiggler squeals, its laughter echoing through the room. “Okay, okay! You win, adventurer! I can't take it anymore! You and your feathered friend may pass!”
With a triumphant “Bawk!” from Colonel Clucks, you cease your tickle attack and give the Jiggler a friendly pat. The creature composes itself, still chuckling, and waves you on.
“Well played, adventurer,” it says with a grin. “You've discovered my weakness. But don't think every challenge in this dungeon can be overcome with a few well-placed tickles!”
Laughing, you and Colonel Clucks continue your journey, the sound of the Jiggler's giggles fading behind you.
