Behold!
...that could have gone better. As you're trying to figure this one out, remember that he's wearing a satchel which contains keys, herbs, and random potions, as well as his nun-chuks.

I love the look on the guys face when he's hugging the bush.
I say start eating chunks out of the sides of the beast's stomach.

I love it 
Hmm time to drink a potion of acid immunity and go for a swim (all the way out)?
Or dump a potion of very bad digestion and take a messy ride up and out the other end.

I love this! There are way too many ways to get out of this, most of which aren't pleasant for either party. I agree with Ingro. Use the bad digestion potion!

Okay then, here are the options I have so far:
-induce vomiting
-acid immunity potion
-bad digestion potion
-eat the stomach wall
If no one else chimes in, I'll start the poll either tomorrow night or the night after.

That was hilarious!
What's he got? Nunchucks, Keys, Sachel, Herbs...
I don't know about beingn able to make an acid inducing potion from that lot, but emptying the herbs out all over the place might induce the desired reaction.
Excellent!

What's the thing he's standing on? Clearly it's not digestible. I'm going to suggest climbing out the throat with the object and seeing if the creature is grateful to us for removing it.
I am so tempted to do a visual SG myself as I'm looking at this. It looks fun and it always gets a lot of interest.

I am so glad I waited for this. Crunchy and Lebby had some very intersting ideas. I thought for sure you guys would be forced to use one of the potions from the satchel. Bonus poins for Lebby's different interpretation of events. I just put that there so the protagonist would have something to stand on- I didn't want to draw him submerged.
Hmmm... it bothers me that this guy doesn't have a name. Since this is a no-text SG, it's not about to come up anytime soon. I don't want to name him myself, but I'm not sure I want it voted on in this thread, either. And I have been meaning to try and rustle activity in the guild...
I am pleased to announce that there will be a "Name this character" contest, which any member of the IF Labs may participate in. People who are unsure of how to join the IF Labs should consult the sticky at the top of the Innovation Isle forum.

Don't forget to vote on this! The poll will close fairly soon, as I will (ideally) have the next chapter around Wednesday or so.

Why, no, I can't draw things to scale, thanks for asking! ...Why do I keep drawing complicated things? I am killing that thing in the next chapter if at all possible. Actually, that'd be hard too. I guess he'll just leave it behind. Poor guy. What a touching drawing of a ninja/monk-boy/teen/man and his centipede/dragon/monster-horse/mount/animal thing.
So... yeah. You know the drill. Figure out what's going to happen next.

The dragon/monster thing flies into the copse of trees and makes a nest. Then, it lays an egg with our hero acting as a midwife

The dragon flies and crashes head first into the castle, while we watch from afar.

Would you say this is a totally open Meta DP with no limitations? I have about a hundred DP suggestions for you, but I want to make sure they're all valid.

Maybe the dragon can turn into a monkey and they set up show to make money to gain entrance to the castle!

Heh, I suppose I do have that coming, don't I?
In general, as this is a very light-hearted SG, I'm up for pretty much anything. However, they need to be decisions which can reasonably come from the panels shown, and only the protagonist gets extra actions. The dragon can crash into the castle, since that's just one listed action (and also, I'd be able to get rid of the dragon.) The dragon can't turn into a monkey, but they could set up a show to make money. The dragon can fly into the trees, but I get to decide if he makes a nest. The protagonist could build a nest, though- or he could start doing the chicken dance.
TL;DR version- I'm picky, and I still have the ultimate say. Suggest whatever you want, but just know that I reserve the right to modify it as I see fit.

I kinda took this as 'which terrain do we cross?'
To which, I say, we should cross the mountains... with a flying beast, its the best way to traverse.

Whoa, Thunder, are you... are you... progressing the plot? Have we done that? Does this SG have a plot? Are we allowed to vote on a DP that isn't completely crazy?
The options I have so far:
-Cross the mountains on the dragon.
-Fly toward the forest on the dragon.
-Attack the castle with the aid of the dragon.
-Use the dragon to busker for money.
-Use the dragon as a siege engine.

Well, I'm still not sure how I'm going to work around my lack of scanner, but I figure the least I can do is get the poll up and running.

It's okay, Lilith. I don't know if it really counts as a three-way tie if only three people have voted. It just means you all have different opinions. XD

Sadly, my scanner situation continues to be less than optimal- I tried bringing back an old printer from home, but it refuses to work on new and/or non-Dell computers. I have no idea when Chapter 6 may be... but at least Ihniwid continues to limp along. The winning option? Use the dragon to busker for money.

Erm... are they busking in the clouds there? I wouldn't have expected much coinage from local avian species. Ah well  . So, I'd say this is just the start. As a result of their carnival act together, the dragon has become good friends with our protagonist and now flies down to catch him and take him off to the mountains to treat his wounds and get him away from that mean old witch. (Of course, this means the dragon's name is Toto, right?)

I'm so glad you linked me to this thread, the story certainly takes some interesting and unexpected turns. It's just a bit difficult to associate yourself with the main character since they don't have a name or a voice or very much personality, but like you said, it's up to personal interpretation.
Cute fez by the way.
The obvious option is to wake up.
How about 'wake up and transform into something that can fly, like a butterfly' since I think this is meant to be random.

Am I the only one to think that the witch is pulling her magic staff out of her arse?
Well he's falling head first towards the ground. That can't be good, can it?
I think it will be a soft, but rather unpleasant landing. I mean, horse droppings are bad enough to land in but dragon droppings must be enormous... and pretty pungent, too.
