A goddess transports musician Perry to another world by accident while collecting her chosen hero. When he demands a trip home or compensation, he ends up physically reduced and restricted in combat. Music and ingenuity are what he has left to work with.

## What makes it funny?

Perry arrives close enough to see the chosen-one treatment and receives none of its benefits. The powers and admirers belong to someone else, and his attempt to negotiate better terms makes his predicament worse.

### Try this if…

Perry has to use a bard's wit and music under rules that limit direct combat. A wisecracking System adds another voice to this parody of being summoned for a grand adventure.
