Game 4 Outline |
You aren't crazy about the thought of going forth in search of the Geagle's feather. But Prince Shane is in a terrible situation, and you want to help him. You agree to try, and stop tickling the prince's feet. Gradually the guards, courtiers and finally the Chamberlain stop laughing.
Prince Shane asks the Chamberlain to direct you to the Geagle's lair. The Chamberlain protests that Prince Shane ought never to have told you about the Geagle. Besides, it's too dangerous to attempt the cure. When the Chamberlain begins a lecture on the virtue of prudence, the prince thrusts his feet at you. Knowing what's in his mind, you resume tickling, and everyone else in the room immediately sinks to the floor in hysteria. Prince Shane remarks sadly that he must be incredibly ticklish and what a shame it is that he can't feel it for himself. When you ask the Chamberlain if you should a) keep tickling Prince Shane's feet all night, or b) be told where to find the Geagle, you immediately receive a reply in favour of option b.
When the Chamberlain has told you all anybody knows about the Geagle (and you've flushed out one or two withheld facts with a little extra tickling), you set out. You soon find yourself actually in the Geagle's lair. And as luck would have it, the Geagle is asleep! And not only is it sleeping, but you can clearly spy a loose feather!
You approach the sleeping Geagle with great care. Gently you begin to work the loose feather off the giant bird. You're thinking that you're almost done when the Geagle shifts position in its sleep. Its wing inadvertently brushes against you.
Your brain, working five times faster than your reflexes, realizes that Prince Shane was right. Geagle feathers do have unbelievable tickling power. Why, if you hadn't taken an Anti-Ticklishness pill offered you by the Royal Pharmacist, you might burst out laughing. Then, before you can finish working the feather loose, the Geagle's wing brushes against you again. There is no power on earth that can help you suppress a giggle.
Your giggle wakes the Geagle. As the mighty bird rouses itself, its wings flutter against you, each touch tickling more and more. You burst out laughing and feel yourself becoming increasingly ticklish and powerless. Soon the Geagle is fully awake and fully in control of the situation as you writhe about.
The Geagle gives you a chance to stop laughing, and gradually you manage to become calm. Then the Geagle says, "I cannot tolerate an intruder in my lair. Therefore you must prepare to be tickled to death. But in keeping with the honour code of the Geagles, I shall allow you to ask one question before your execution."
