Congratulations Wallaby Protagonist!



As you don your roo-helm and pick up your sword and shield, the wallaby maiden nearby will make a mewling sound at you.  This mewling sound will, of course, be a call back to bed, to have some weird, somewhat complicated sex with her (tails getting in the way and all that).  You'll make a brief barking noise in response and then begin hopping away, leaving her there with a disappointed look on her dumb face.  At least, we think it'll be disappointed.  We're not super good at reading wallaby facial expressions.

You'll hop away, none the less, and up mountainsides, across rivers, down hills, and into the realm of darkness and magic that all Australians know about, that most of them avoid like the plague.  It's right in the middle of the continent, in the center of that hellish shitpiece of a desert, and once you pass through the barrier and into this realm, you'll immediately be beset by a dragon.

As a wallaby, a "dragon" for you is actually, quite literally a komodo dragon, covered in armor, spitting curses at you in komodo dragon language.  It'll sound like a series of protracted hisses, and it'll be super incensing, so you'll pull out your little sword and hammer it on the side of your little shield and commerce murdering a komodo dragon.

Stab stab stab, hop hop hop, the battle will unfold.  It'll be like a very very gory version of Redwall, which is already quite gory to start with, and when all's said and done and the blood of the dragon pools at your feet you'll lick the edge of your blade before sheathing it.  After that, you'll begin skinning the dragon, taking care to remove its head as a trophy.  Once the skin is off, you'll roll it up and pack it into your pouch, then continue hopping, looking for a shop where you can turn it into armor that, in turn, will let you fight bigger, stronger, more dragon-like dragons.

The trophy head, you'll just sell for money - that is the way of things, in the magical realm hidden deep inside the wilds of the outback.

Congratulations Wallaby Protagonist!
