She closes her eyes one final time, breathes her last breath, and dies in your arms.<br> [[Next|asaflask]]You gently lay the blue-skinned Fuzonian down on the ground. An unshakable rage grows within you. The Star King will pay for this. You will destroy him. And with his death, the Shyfters will cease to exist.<br> [[Next|sdfgsdkl]]You clench your fists and howl into the midnight sky. A flock of mynarks flutters away into the moonlight. You are alone now. Everyone you’ve ever known, everyone you’ve ever loved, is dead. But you still have a job to do. Your Destiny is at hand.<br> [[Next|skfsgkl]]The Star King is waiting for you in his crystal fortress. Go to him, barbarian. End his miserable existence and put a stop to the wrath of the Shyfters once and for all.<br> TO BE CONCLUDED!<br> [[A note from kungfuspacebarbarian]]We've come so far together. At long last, we have finally arrived. A day I have long expected, eagerly awaited, but greatly dreaded. This adventure marks the penultimate chapter in the Crypt Shyfter saga. Only 1 game remains. We are now very close to the end...<br> But fear not, for the best is yet to come! The final episode of Crypt Shyfter is sure to be one you won’t want to miss!<br> <3 kungfuspacebarbarian You are roused by the sound of an airlock swishing open. Your wakening is not like that of a commoner- that is to say bleary eyed, groggy, and dull. You are alert in an instant, your primal barbarian instincts catching every sound, smell, and vibration in the air.<br> [[Next|sdkgl]]In the blink of an eye you are on your feet with your $weapon in your fist. A tiny orange creature with far too many arms is standing in the doorway holding a platter of food.<br> [[Next|sdlsl]]You recognize the odd little creature and it is apparent he recognizes you as well. He hardly flinched at your sudden movement. He has clearly gotten used to your violent outbursts.<br> [[Next|sdfgl]]THRAKK: It's good to see you on your feet again, barbarian. The medicine is taking hold. I was afraid we were going to lose you! Stow your $weapon and eat! You look exhausted.<br> [[Is that pizza I smell?]] [[I could have killed you, Thrakk. I thought you were an intruder.]]THRAKK: I brought you charred mammoth meat pizza. Eat and regain your strength! In the meantime I will tend to that arm of yours...<br> [[Next|t49]]THRAKK: You sleep like a coiled serpent. You are safe here, barbarian.<br> [[Nowhere is safe from the Shyfters.]] [[Natural instinct is difficult to overcome. Then again, those same instincts have saved my life a hundred times over.]]THRAKK: I brought you charred mammoth meat pizza. Eat and regain your strength!

In the meantime I will tend to that arm of yours...<br> [[Next|t49]]You grab a slice of cheesy pizza and shove the whole thing in your mouth. The melted cheese burns the roof of your mouth, but you don't mind. You immediately shove a second slice down your throat. The burp that follows shakes the room.<br> [[Next|sgdflkdf]]Thrakk wrinkles his face in disgust as he probes your arm. You glance down at it and grit your teeth. The bloody stump of your shoulder has mostly healed, but the mechanical arm extending from it serves as a terrible reminder of the power of the Shyfters.<br> [[Next|37uee]]THRAKK: It is healing well. Do you feel pain here? Can you move it?<br> [[I look like one of those cursed Shyfters!]] [[It responds as if it were my own arm. Your magic continues to astound me.]]THRAKK: You look much better than a Shyfter! They're all as ugly as an outer ring rhino butt!<br> [[Next|sdifgsdddi]]THRAKK: Not magic- science! Oh, never mind. Sometimes I forget how tiny your brain is.<br> [[Next|sdifgsi]]You ignore the insult and devour another slice of pizza. Thrakk clears his throat uncomfortably.<br> [[Next|sdlsss]]THRAKK: The Queen requests an audience with you. She wishes to see you in her court in an hour.<br> [[She's gone mad with power. As if the Shyfters weren't enough trouble already...]] [[Am I her dog to be called on command? Were it not for me she'd never have taken the throne!]]THRAKK: The people fear her, barbarian. They fear the power she wields. Perhaps if you speak with her...<br> [[She'll drive that accursed blade through my chest and end my existence.]] [[I intend to exchange more than words with her royal majesty. This madness has gone on long enough!]]THRAKK: The people fear her, barbarian. They fear the power she wields. Perhaps if you speak with her...<br> [[She'll drive that accursed blade through my chest and end my existence.]] [[I intend to exchange more than words with her royal majesty. This madness has gone on long enough!]]Thrakk nervously finishes administering painkillers to your mangled shoulder and steps back. You flex your metal fingers into a powerful fist.<br> [[I don't know what I'd do without you, Thrakk.]] [[Science or magic, this arm is impressive. Thank you.]]Thrakk nervously finishes administering painkillers to your mangled shoulder and steps back. You flex your metal fingers into a powerful fist.<br> [[I don't know what I'd do without you, Thrakk.]] [[Science or magic, this arm is impressive. Thank you.]]Thrakk smiles and exits the room. You heave a great sigh and make your way towards the Queen's royal court.<br> [[Next|gsdsgk]]Thrakk smiles and exits the room. You heave a great sigh and make your way towards the Queen's royal court.<br> [[Next|gsdsgk]]You hear an uproar of outrage as you enter the Queen’s court. A Golgek soldier is thrown mercilessly onto the floor at Queen Vulma’s feet, where he grovels and begs for forgiveness.<br> [[Next|sdf9g0sdf00]]You laugh heartily and devour another slice of pizza. Thrakk clears his throat uncomfortably.<br> [[Next|sdlsss]]QUEEN VULMA: My troops tell me you’ve been working with the Shyfters. You’ve acted as a spy and sold them our secrets! That makes you a traitor.<br> [[Next|sdfgsdlfl]]GOLGEK: No, my Queen! I would never betray you! I joined the Alliance to fight the Shyfters!<br> [[Next|sigsikkfg]]QUEEN VULMA: You lie! Treason and lying to your Queen will not be tolerated under my rule. Your actions warrant death!<br> [[Next|askfglsgl]]The enraged queen draws her magic sword and raises it over her head.<br> [[What deviltry is this?|Save the Golgek]] [[Have you gone completely mad?|Save the Golgek]]With a roar of defiance you leap forward and yank a sword from the fist of a nearby knight. The knight cries out in surprise, but you fly past in a flash and swat the queen’s blade aside before it can sink into the Golgek’s chest. The chamber echoes with the sound of steel as the gathered knights draw their swords.<br> [[This madness ends now!]] [[Have you lost all sense, Vulma? What mockery of justice is this?]]QUEEN VULMA: You dare- how dare you! I am your Queen! I will have you flogged in the streets!<br> [[You would find yourself with a hundred fewer soldiers if you tried.]] [[I’ve earned my right to speak. Now you must learn when to be silent.]]QUEEN VULMA: You dare- how dare you! I am your Queen!

How many have been executed by the Queen’s hand this week?]]KNIGHT: This Golgek is a traitor to the Alliance! He has shared state secrets with the Shyfters meant to weaken our war effort!<br> [[To what purpose? A reward from the Shyfters? A seat at the table? Open your eyes, you witless fool!]] [[No soldier among us would sell out to the Shyfters! I’ve spoken with each and every one of you. I know your hearts. You joined the Alliance to fight the Shyfters, not join them.]]KNIGHT: S-seventeen, barbarian.<br> [[Is this what your reign has come to, Oh Mighty Queen? Death to any you deem to be disloyal? What proof have you of their crimes?]] [[Listen here, you mammoth-brained fools! I fight the Shyfters because they spread injustice across the galaxy.

I rule by the right of this magic blade!<br> [[Then I think it’s time for someone else to wield that blade.]] [[You are unfit to rule, Vulma.

All in favor of removing Vulma from power, say “Aye.”]]QUEEN VULMA: The customs of a dying world hold no sway over my court. There will be no duel. I reign supreme!<br> [[And what about the rest of you? Do you submit to be ruled by this tyrant?|Why don’t we have a vote? All in favor of removing Vulma from power, say “Aye.”]] [[The people of Fuzonia would never agree to such foolishness! Where is your honor?|Why don’t we have a vote? All in favor of removing Vulma from power, say “Aye.”]]The chamber is deathly silent. Your eyes widen as you look around at the gathered faces. You no longer recognize the men and women standing before you. Their faces are hard, blank, and filled with hate. The Queen laughs.<br> [[Next|skdfglsl]]QUEEN VULMA: No one challenges my authority, barbarian. I am the Queen of the Universe! My word is law. You have betrayed the Alliance and attempted to steal my throne, and you must now face the consequences.<br> [[Next|sldfgsdlfgl]]QUEEN VULMA: But know this! I am a just and righteous ruler. Therefore, instead of your immediate death, I hereby banish you from Fuzonia for all time! Leave this planet now and never return.<br> [[You’re making a grave mistake, Vulma.]] [[If this is what passes for civilization on Fuzonia then I’d rather go back to living in a cave!]]Several Fuzonian Knights surround you and attempt to escort you out of the court. You clobber one in the jaw, knocking him witless. The others hastily retreat as you storm out of the chamber. You look back just in time to watch the Queen murder the helpless Golgek with her magic sword. This insanity cannot be allowed to continue...<br> [[Next|sdfgsoll]]Several Fuzonian Knights surround you and attempt to escort you out of the court. You clobber one in the jaw, knocking him witless. The others hastily retreat as you storm out of the chamber. You look back just in time to watch the Queen murder the helpless Golgek with her magic sword. This insanity cannot be allowed to continue...<br> [[Next|sdfgsoll]]You step out into the open air. You can't remain on Fuzonia or the crazy Queen will have you executed. What will you do now?<br> [[Find a pizza shop somewhere off-planet]] [[Search for a way home]] [[Hitchhike for a ride going anywhere]]You hop into a nearby starship and blast off, leaving the tiny planet of Fuzonia far behind. You zoom through the cosmos until you spot a space trucker rest stop and refueling station. Figuring they’ll probably have a few slices of hot pizza inside the convenience shop, you land you ship and head inside.<br> [[Next|skfdgsdlfl]]Nothing remains for you now on Fuzonia. You were once known as Zarkaja, "Great Leader" to the Fuzonian people. You stood as a shining beacon of hope against the oppressive darkness of the Shyfters. But now you are nothing more than an outcast... an exile among the stars.<br> [[Next|sdfglsl]]You hitch a ride with an interstellar space trucker and leave the tiny planet of Fuzonia far behind. You and the trucker swap stories for a while, but you spend most of the trip sleeping in the cab. After several hours of flying you arrive at a space trucker rest stop and refueling station.<br> [[Next|sdlfglsl]]A Golgek behind the counter is looking nervously out the window. You look over his shoulder and see a giant space tanker being fueled up.<br> [[Is something wrong?]] [[Do space tankers always make you so nervous? You may want to find a different line of work.]]GOLGEK: It's those fuel tankers... We’ve seen a sudden spike in tanker hijackings recently. Gorlon raiders swoop in and steal the tankers after they’ve been re-fueled.<br> [[Next|dlsglfdl]]GOLGEK: The tankers themselves don’t worry me- it’s the space pirates interested in them. We’ve seen a sudden spike in tanker hijackings recently. Gorlon raiders swoop in and steal the tankers after they’ve been re-fueled.<br> [[Next|dlsglfdl]]GOLGEK: Space pirates are bad enough on their own, but I fear these Gorlon pirates are re-selling the tankers to the Shyfters. I can’t stand the thought of losing our tankers and funding the Shyfter war effort at the same time.<br> [[I can take care of the space pirates for you.]] [[How often do the space pirates show up?]]The words have barely left your mouth when suddenly a small starship lands at the fueling station and a dozen Gorlon space pirates hop out. They surround the tankers and begin siphoning off fuel. One of them throws the driver to the ground and leaps into the cockpit.<br> [[Next|dsfgsdfk]]GOLGEK: Almost weekly at this point. I fear they may show up any day now...<br> [[I can take care of the space pirates for you.]]TRUCKER: I need to re-fuel. Why don't you head inside and grab something to eat? We'll get moving once this tanker is fuelled up.<br> [[Great, I'm starving.]] [[I hope these guys have pizza!]]You head inside the tiny convenience shop. A Golgek behind the counter is looking nervously out the window. You look over his shoulder and see the giant space tanker being fueled up.<br> [[Is something wrong?]] [[Do space tankers always make you so nervous?

They circle you like sharks, eager for a fight.<br> [[Fight]] <<set $state = 1>>\The remaining space pirates flee, but shout a warning over their shoulders: “The Shyfters are coming! You can’t hide from them! The Star King will rise and this universe will crumble!”<br> [[I will never allow the Shyfters to reign supreme!|aaaaa]] [[Who’s hiding?|aaaaa]]Suddenly one of the nearby tankers erupts in a fiery explosion. The blast sets off a chain reaction and soon the entire world is consumed in fire and the deafening roar of exploding gas tanks. The ground beneath your feet is ripped apart as wormholes begin appearing out of thin air.<br> [[Next|dfig939fo]]A massive stone pyramid suddenly rises up from the depths of the ocean. The pyramid stretches up to the clouds as the Shyfter warships descend upon it. You watch as troops begin leaping out of the ships and entering the enormous structure.<br> [[Swim to the pyramid and investigate]] [[Stay hidden]]Your thoughts turn to Azmar, your home planet, and your birthright: the crown of the barbarian kingdoms, viciously stolen from you by the evil vizier.

Your journey takes you to a small moon on the Outer Rim. The moon is little more than a rest stop for interstellar travelers passing between galaxies.<br> [[Next|fgosr]]You enter one of the taverns. It is filled with a diverse group of aliens from all over the universe.<br> [[Gossip]] [[Start a bar fight]]You sit down at a table with a green-skinned Martian and begin to chat.<br> [[Who are you?]] [[I'm searching for a way home. Do you know about any magic portals around here?|I'm just looking for a way home.]]You pick up a chair and smash it over the closest alien's head. The tavern instantly erupts into chaos as everyone joins the brawl.<br> [[Fight]] <<set $state = 2>>\You are one of the last fighters left standing, but barely. You wipe a trickle of blood from your lip as you scan the tavern for anyone else who wants to fight. A burly Martian slaps you on the back and shoves a mug of ale into your hands.<br> [[Next|s4irg]]MARTIAN: I haven't been in a tavern brawl like that in over 600 years! Drink up, barbarian. You fight good!<br> [[Who are you?]] [[I didn't come here to make friends.]]MARTIAN: I'm just a traveler passing through this sector. Who are you?<br> [[I'm just looking for a way home.]] [[I'm a professional bar fighter! People call me the Kung Fu Space Barbarian! Haven't you heard of me?]]MARTIAN: I can see that! You mopped the floor with just about everyone in here! But I have to assume you don't simply wander through space starting bar fights, right?<br> [[I'm just looking for a way home.]] [[I'm a professional bar fighter! People call me the Kung Fu Space Barbarian! Haven't you heard of me?]]MARTIAN: I don't know where your home is, but I've heard legends of a place built for those who are lost. An ancient civilization that once lived on the Galactic Fringe is said to have built a temple dedicated to the 15 space gods.<br> [[Sounds like mumbo jumbo.]] [[15 space gods? I thought Shergblatt was the almighty creator of all who farted the universe out of her hairy butt crack?]]MARTIAN: That sounds like the kind of gibberish a low-grade writer would come up with. Surely you have higher ambitions than fighting in bars?<br> [[I'm just looking for a way home.]]MARTIAN: It's not mumbo jumbo. According to myth, this temple to the space gods was filled with magic that would provide clarity of mind to those who had lost their way.<br> [[Tell me more about this ancient civilization.]] [[Where is this magic temple?]]MARTIAN: It is true, Shergblatt is the most powerful of the space gods, but she isn't the only one. According to myth, this temple to the space gods was filled with magic that would provide clarity of mind to those who had lost their way.<br> [[Tell me more about this ancient civilization.]] [[Where is this magic temple?]]MARTIAN: Unfortunately that civilization was wiped out in a terrible flood. The entire planet is now submerged under a vast ocean. But if you could somehow reach the temple, you might be able to find your way home.<br> [[All of this sounds like a children's fairy tale.]] [[A long lost temple filled with magic and built by a mysterious alien race?

You topple over and fall through a shimmering wormhole. You fall through empty space for several seconds before splashing into an immense ocean. Waves 100 feet high roll past. You scramble onto a nearby shore and begin looking around for any distinctive landmarks.<br> [[Next|6634ujf]]You are standing on a rocky island. A spooky jungle hems the line of the beach. Behind you is nothing but water as far as the eye can see. You have no idea what this place is, but you seem to be safe for the moment.<br> [[Next|df9gur9irirg9]]Suddenly a rumble like distant thunder fills the air. As you look up into the sky you see hundreds of massive Shyfter warships blocking out the light of the suns.<br> [[Next|fssglslg]]Mile-high waves crash against the rocky shore of a lonely island. You stand at the pinnacle of a rocky outcropping, observing the world around you. Endless oceans stretch to infinity in all directions.<br> [[Next|fg99h8jhj]]A gap in the rocks leads into an underground cavern. You cautiously enter and begin to explore. The cavern twists down into the depths of the planet. Soon you find your pathway cut off by a pool of shimmering water. You can see the ruins of a golden castle shimmering beneath the rippling water.<br> [[Swim down to the castle]] [[Scream at the top of your lungs]]You take a deep breath and leap into the shimmering pool of water.<br> [[Next|fkgglkh]]You shouts echo through the endless caverns and tunnels. Suddenly a group of armored mermen emerge from the water. They surround you, pointing coral spears at your chest.<br> [[Talk to them]] [[Attack them]]MERMAN: Why have you come here?<br> [[I was told there is a temple here that can show me the way home.]] [[I’ve come here to pillage and kill!

Water rushes inside, sweeping you away with it.<br> [[Next|sdf99h7944]]MERMAN: The temple below may once have held the magic that you seek, but no longer. The ancient creators left this world eons ago.

You stand up and look back the way you came. Some strange magic is keeping the pressing waves out of the temple. You shrug your shoulders and venture deeper into the mysterious structure.<br> [[Next|sdfigs9df9r]]You find yourself standing in a magnificent chamber glowing with some sort of otherworldly light. The room is ringed with dozens of elaborately carved statues of long-forgotten gods. In the center of the chamber you can see an altar or shrine of some sort. It has been covered in seashells and chunks of coral.<br> [[Examine the statues]] [[Examine the altar]] [[Pray for guidance]]You walk around the room, examining each of the statues. Most are unfamiliar to you, but there is one you recognize: Shergblatt, the hideously ugly goddess who spawned the universe from her nether regions with an almighty fart.<br> [[Divert your eyes]] [[Toss a coin in a pitcher]] [[Fart|fartonsherg]]You step up to the altar and begin poking around. Dozens of ancient offerings have been left here. You don’t see any signs of bones or corpses, so these people probably didn’t worship the gods by making sacrifices.<br> [[Next|fskgsodfgl]]You call out to the goddess Shergblatt and demand answers to the myriad questions bouncing around inside your head: How will you get home?

By the magic of Shergblatt you have gained +3 hit points.<br> [[Next|fskgsodfgl]] <<set $hp += 3>>\ <<set $maxhp += 3>>\The sound of footsteps draws your attention to the far side of the chamber.

You scramble onto a nearby shore and begin looking around for any distinctive landmarks.<br> [[Next|6634ujf]]You dive into the ocean and swim towards the ancient pyramid. Shyfter ships continue to unload troops onto the structure.
