👞Goria the shoemaker has a bad boss👞

Is his boss the devil? Literally...well, no. Is the devil that Goria meets in a bar actually better than his boss? 100% yes.

😈 The Creature: Jack-in-Irons

A creature who made it a bad thing to walk around threatening people with a spiky club and wearing human heads. Thanks, Jack.

It's all in the original text, but a ruler traps a peasant man by bringing him up through school and teaching him to be a shoemaker, then he sadistically beats the shoemaker whenever he doesn't perform as commanded. The shoemaker comes to realize that because the ruler controls every aspect of his life, especially his finances, he's completely trapped.
