317-Monkey King: Make it Rain

317-Monkey King: Make it Rain

We're back in the story of the Monkey King, and monkey finds a noble new calling: freeing enslaved monks. Does this noble calling include the ignoble murdering of his enemies and/or tricking them into drinking his urine? Yes. Yes it does.

The creature is the Stcemqestcint, the stinky naked man watching you in the forest.
