I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it, but I'm thinking maybe the Rooster allows for some kind of mind-control instead of the usual telekinesis.

Kranz is also facing the Two best combat heroeswe have in close combat . If he doesn't fold quickly we'll need to get stronger minions.

If the theorizing about mind-controlling the Gargoyles is true, then a good reason for him not to be beaten down quickly is because he throws a wall of bodies at us, and these are people that Temujin doesn't want to kill.
 
Not the two best, although it is close. Janna is 10+12+7+5=34, which puts her ahead of Hego and tied with Spycycle+Tooned In Russ, but 0/10 behind Norm. Still, a total bonus of 96 is nothing to sneeze at.
Kranz is also Arizona's rival. That might factor in, giving a rivalry bonus, though I don't know how that works.
 
NGL, I kind of want Max to have an accidental weaponization of the Toon Force here. The guy honestly deserves some moments to shine; he's kind of been relegated to "butt monkey" whenever he gets focus on him.
Ah, but the question is "how?"

A toon may do what they should do or what they shouldn't, and each has its own shades and flavors. If they do as they should, they follow proper linear narrative of some sort even if what narrative demands is impossible. If they do what they shouldn't they embrace the absurd. They do what they do because it makes no sense and the universe is just sort of riding with it. Once reality is inconsistent, inconsistency is expected and then you get goddamn Wackyland.

Max, I think, might acquire the narrative of "reality ensues". The absurdity falters and a tunnel painted on a cliff becomes just so much paint and not a tunnel.
 
"I couldn't agree more," an oily voice from behind you speaks. "But I think I can still squeeze some use out of the gargoyles."

Dr. Kranz grins wickedly as he holds up an octagonal stone emblazoned with a symbol of a rooster. He squeezes it, causing the talisman to glow with red light!
To try and steal from the Great Khan is... foolish. I imagine Kranz will come to regret it.

The Khan's Laws said:
Men guilty of the theft of a horse or steer or a thing of equal value will be punished by death and their bodies cut into two parts. For lesser thefts the punishment shall be, according to the value of the thing stolen, a number of blows of a staff – seven, seventeen, twenty-seven, up to seven hundred. But this bodily punishment may be avoided by paying nine tines the worth if the thing stolen

People Having A Good Time and Kranz are about to become different categories entirely.

Okay, who the hell wrote this thing? Because they know a lot of things they shouldn't.

... Oh, is it that magical exposition book from Ducktales that was basically google but improved, contained any plot-relevant information it needed to, and was somehow pocket-sized? We still should look into the author, there could be a Hero unit there.

...what IS the in-universe reason we can't clone anyone else? Bill Cypher screwing about?
Basically, the method we used. Doof used that old anecdote about half a percent of men living today having a bit of Khan DNA to collect all those little bits, glue them together, and make a Khan. Does it make sense? No. Does Doofenshmirtz care? Also no.

Also, there is another (teenaged) Khan clone in a Disney-adjacent property called Clone High, I was hoping we could eventually get a DNA transfusion from a Genuine, 100% Khan donor.
 
So with Jana being hit by the nerf by really really hard losing about 13 effective combat I say she gets the Talismen.

I think Mind Control on that scale seems unlikely, because it basically turns the talisman into an overpowered McGuffin that we cant use because we're not 'Evil' evil. The magic reward ends up being useless, and probably makes us a target to the more evil players in the quest.

If I had to guess, maybe it's related to the sun or day/night cycle, allowing Kranz to turn them to stone, and ship them off to the highest bidder. Maybe can be projected as a laser to make it a Martial weapon, or grants spiritual power as an Occult bonus.
 
Nah, give Max the talisman.

To activate it he has to do the chicken dance.

unfortunately that's not the case as we see him activate it in the last post.

Also if it is mind control we need to start planning out who we should target with it. Probably going to be the " can be resisted with Willpower " kind of mind control So we need weak willed targets of high value.
