Chapter One: Some Strange Melody
| “
|
He was a layabout without aspiration or purpose, content to loiter on street corners languidly busking for passersby.

Chapter Three: Play to the Crowd

When word of his uncommon talent reached the palace, he was summoned to entertain King and Court. Anticipating an historic performance and enthused adulation, he was stunned to find himself instead the object of their debased ridicule.

The puzzle requires you to mirror the notes: the note in rank 1 on the left side should match the note in rank 1 on the right side, rank 2 should match rank 2, and so on, while the Jester himself can match any note. Each round, the Jester can change any note or move himself one rank in either direction. Because each action causes the Jester to accumulate  stress, the challenge is to use his actions as efficiently as possible in order to complete the puzzle before he reaches 10 stress.

Aimlessly, he drifted from the hall, humming broken bars of a discordant melody he could not quite remember...
