Peasant's Quest
Peasant's Quest is a Macromedia Flash game published by the fictional company Videlectrix. The player takes the role of Rather Dashing, a peasant who has had his thatched roof cottage "burninated" by Trogdor.
Origins
The story is based off the Homestar Runner internet cartoons, specifically the Strong Bad (SB) E-Mails. Trogdor was created when Strong Bad was asked to demonstrate his skills of an artist in e-mail entitled "Dragon."#58 This later spawned the game Trogdor, in which the player stompped on peasants. Once the required amount of 10 was reached, Trogdor attained the "Burninate!" ability. The player recived the ability to breath a constant spew of flames to burninate the thatched roofed cottages. Players also had to be wary of being arrowed or sworded by enemy archers and knights.
The game is a parody of King's Quest and other text-based adventures and it closely resembles the humor from the Monkey Island series.
Overview

- Look like a peasant
- Smell like a peasant

After completing these and rendering the player a true peasant, the mountain pass guard will allow the player on the road to Trogdor and utimately allow the player to attempt to slay him.
