Oh hi!
>Cheer up Bearbreath and Feticlaw

>>31279620

You're so cool I love you

Looks like goblin caves are the winner!

Spoilers: If you had picked Help Sitri you would have gone on a date with her pretending to be her girlfriend.

But the deal has been struck and the past cannot be unwritten. You must live with the consequences forever.

Anyway, writing.

>>31279620
That fucking cat.

>Spoilers: If you had picked Help Sitri you would have gone on a date with her pretending to be her girlfriend.

Awww...

>>31279670
At least we get to see how the goblins are doing!

>>31279620
Oh damn

>>31279670
That sounds fun. Damn.

Still though. Goblins are pretty good. Going home after so long.

>>31279670

<3 If you got a request, feel free to ask.

By the way, I'm only going to be there during the weekends for the next two or three weeks.

>>31279776
Drag Sitri along to the goblin caves, then.

>>31279704
>>31279724
>>31279776
I suppose it's been that way the whole time. For each awesome thing that does happen in this quest, there are SEVERAL other awesome things that don't and which we miss out on.

>>31279823
Oh, there's a nice compromise. Get her away from groupies by dragging her along to the goblin caves.

>>31279846
Apparently if we had gone into the camp at the start we would have ran into an ork cleric instead of squid face.

>>31279888
I'm glad we ran into squid face

>>31279966
I dunno, I'm kinda interested in finding out how an orc cleric woulda made us able to wield giant sword!

It's been a long time since you've been home, so you figure you'll hit up the old Fouldrinker Caverns! The stench that wrinkles your nose as you approach is as nostalgic as it is bitter and disgusting. You see a lot of younger goblins. A lot. Looks like the war effort preperations are well underway. It is a good thing you didn't have anything on you, because your pockets would have been thoroughly picked by the time you arrived in the Bonemurder Clan's section of the caves.

"Hey guys, I'm home!" You shout, though you're pretty sure no one heard you over the sounds of a hundred young goblins wrestling each other over scraps of food. They give you a wide berth as your huge sword intimidates them. You whip it out and wave it around as a joke to scare some of the more brave goblins. You've never been the person everyone was scared of at home, so you get into the moment and start roaring out increasingly improbable threats and stalking around like a monster until most of the children scramble into hiding.

"The hell you doin', Shax?" An old goblin woman calls out. Oh, it's Auntie! You aren't really that closely related, you think, maybe. A goblin family tree is more like a goblin family hedge maze. Auntie is really mean which means everyone respects her.

You laugh like a kid who got caught pulling a prank, because that is essentially what you are, "I didn't think you'd remember my name, Auntie."

"Yeah, well, some dark elf lady was in here not long ago trying to get recruits and was spouting off what all you have been doing. Not many goblins around here with a giant sword like that. Mostly just the one, in fact." Auntie grumbles, "I forbid any of these kids joining up on that mad suicide mission you're on. You need to have kids before you die."

>Whaaaaat why did you stop people from joining?
>I don't need no kids, Auntie, now give me food.
>Begin discourse on the breeding capabilities and habits of goblins

>>31279966
Me too.
>>31279981
Probably the exact same way.

>>31279982

I cannot resist this.

Genuinely curious.

Ya'll a bunch of perverts.

He'd actually make you swear a pact to a god in the orc pantheon.

>>31280124
Perverts? I don't think anyone here, Shax included, knows how goblin babies are made.

>>31279982
>>Begin discourse on the breeding capabilities and habits of goblins
I am genuinely curious on the matter of Shax's understanding of how this works versus biological fact.

>>31280218
It's probably spores or something. I think.

>>31280274
I thought that was orcs?

See, confusion like this is why it's necessary to investigate the issue.

>>31280292
It's probably going to be super gross either way.

>>31280185
Squid Face is the best illithid ever. Admittedly, there really isn't much competition since most illithids are horrible and mean, but still!

>>31280345
Don't speak too soon. The fact that a Illithid is hanging around an otherwise unremarkable goblin is cause for alarm.

>>31280274
I dunno. I always imagine that goblins operate a unique rape-based economy.

I imagine it'd work out if theres a nigh 100% chance of goblin insemination resulting in goblin birth.

Then the resulting babies are thrown into the Birthing Warrens, and any child who makes it back to the tribe is given the tribe name.

>>31280369
Soon to be Illithid lich.

>>31280218
>>31280230
I'm not sure how much she knows about sex itself, but considering she's constantly getting jealous over any girl with any sex appeal she at least has some kind of desire to be a femme fatale or something.

Or at least that's how I see it.

>>31280409
I agree, she will one day become a very dangerous woman, but right now she doesn't know what those instincts and desires mean.

>>31280369
>otherwise unremarkable
No such thing as an unremarkable goblin. Only the exceptional ones make it out of the birthing pits.

You know, the exceptionally stupid, exceptionally lucky, exceptionally smart, exceptionally cowardly...

>>31280409
Or you know is a girl and is therefore naturally jealous of better looking women.

"What kinda guy would you even try to hook me up with, Auntie? Also, more importantly, where is the food?" She is a notoriously good cook, and you muscle your way into her ramshackle hut where maybe a dozen other younger goblins are eating slop of various consistencies. You remember it not tasting too good, but for some reason your mouth is watering. Nothing like being home.

"I dunno, does it really matter what the guy is like? We need more folks like you, Shax. Someone who can get the Bonemurder name on top. Fouldrinker and his kin are runnin' the caves to the ground. Can you believe we're kowtowing to dark elves? All caught up in their schemes." Auntie spits, "Now they're gonna get a foothold on a true dark empire all 'cause of a goblin! It disgusts me. All that land up there belongs to us goblins." Auntie seems a little racist, but you forgive her because this gooey slop is pretty great. "Anyway, you sure you don't want to get some kids so I can raise some feisty warriors?" She might have the wrong impression of you.

You slurp down some slop, before responding, "Pretty sure! Besides, I wouldn't know where to start." It's true. You've never had any of this explained before.

Auntie sighs and leans back, "Well, you see, when a man goblin thinks a woman goblin looks passingly cute..." What follows is a series of disgusting and enlightening series of descriptions and actions that you all baiscally knew about already, but didn't know there were specific terms or anything. They're mammals, after all. Goblins are apparently quick to term and have a bunch of kids at once. Half-breeds are apparently a thing, which is something to keep in mind, you guess. The whole conversation makes you feel uncomfortable and less hungry.

"Yeah, I think I'll pass on that, Auntie."

"A shame. A woman has needs, Shax, and you won't be able to ignore them forever."

>Auntie you are gross, I'm going to go visit some other goblins.
>So what is all this about taking out the Fouldrinker clan?

>>31280606
>Auntie you are gross, I'm going to go visit some other goblins.
I won't take the OP name bait!

>>31280402
Alhoons get the short end of the stick.

People think that just because they're liches AND illithids, they're going to be twice as bad, but that isn't true at all! They're mostly just regular 100% bad.

It's discrimination, I tell you.

>>31280606
>>So what is all this about taking out the Fouldrinker clan?

>>31280606
>>Auntie you are gross, I'm going to go visit some other goblins.

Well spoken.

>Auntie pls go

>>31280606
>So what is all this about taking out the Fouldrinker clan?
Destroying all our goblin enemies and becoming Queen of the Goblins seems well within Shax's interests. And best of all, no one who is not a goblin would care, except possibly our friends who would find it funny.

>>31280606
>So what is all this about taking out the Fouldrinker clan?

If they're fucking with our home we might want to smack them around with our giant sword until they behave.

>>31280606
>So what is all this about taking out the Fouldrinker clan?

>>31280606
>Half-breeds are apparently a thing

So the theory that Shax is half goblin is valid

The other half is probably goblin.

Alright, writing!

>>31280634
Hear! Hear!

>>31280685
My guess is either dark elf or regular elf

>>31280685
Quite possibly explains why shes not had a more graphic biology lesson yet, if shes not pure goblin. Too symmetrical to be cute by goblin standards.

Though "pure goblin" is a misleading term.

Somehow there is a tie.

Sudden final destination heaven or hell vote. Next vote takes it and I'll write as soon as I see it.

This explains everything.

WITH YOUR MIND

>>31280809
It fails entirely to explain what an Illithid was doing fucking goblins.

>>31280786
I think if we were half illithid it would be pretty noticeable.

>>31280786
I don't even know if illithids have the correct equipment. Was there ever a D&D book which covered that? I don't think so.

>>31280742
>>Auntie you are gross, I'm going to go visit some other goblins

>>31280839
Goblinoids and Dragons have one thing in common.

They can fuck ANYTHING.

>>31280831
Well you know, maybe he was desperate.

Or drunk, one of the two.

>>31280869
I don't think even a goblin can find a way to fuck a creature with no discernible gender, let alone genitalia.

Things are getting weird in here

>>31280861
...of course, that explains everything. Because what an Illitilich really needs is a borderline retarded goblin daughter to mind his phylactery.

Wait. No, thats fucking stupid.

>>31280948
Yeah. Hopefully Shax's father was just an elf whose charisma was just a bit too high.

>>31280930
ANYTHING.
>>31280948
You guys all wanted to learn about goblin sex what did you expect.

>>31280928
The obvious answer is he was raped.

Perfectly legitimate goblin mating strategy.

>>31280959
Maybe he just did it to see what would happen.

You wipe your mouth as you finish a bowl of delcious warm stuff you're better off not knowing and notice Auntie is still looking at you. You don't really have anything to say so you search for a topic to break the awkward atmospher. "So, uh, what was that about the Fouldrinker tribe, again? You said something about him being lame and us being cool, or something?" You forget the exact words.

Auntie leans forward, a mischevious grin forming across her leathery green face, "I said that he has got to go. His bargain with the dark elves have been profitable for his clan while the rest of us wither away. Fouldrinker's allies become fewer the longer this campaign goes, as the other clans keep contributing the lion's share of troops. The Hungerer has fed on thousands of Bonemurder goblins, but only a few hundred Fouldrinkers. Do you think this is fair?" As far as you know, being the boss means you can make decisions like that. "We're all forced to raid to fill his larders. I won't stand for it any longer. I don't want to watch more of my children and grandchildren suffer under him."

"Okay, but what the heck am I supposed to do about it?" You really aren't sure why she's telling you all this. "I'm only here for two more days, so I ain't got much time for anything complicated."

"Don't worry, I'm just letting my ambitions be heard by a competent young goblin like yourself. A few more strong women around here would change everything."

>Goblin subplot unlocked: 'Maybe you oughta be the chief?'

You still got half a day left! What do you wanna do, boss?

Grind them social links.

Alright, writing!

>>31281011

No man left behind! No, wait...

You get a message from a camp runner that apparently someone in your party is in the gladiatorial contests. Who the heck would be dumb enough to do that? When you arrive in the fighting pits, you see Sitri take down an orc. Shoving your way through the seats, you get to the edge of the pit. You place your hands around your mouth and shout, "Hey, goat lady! What the heck are you doin'? You trying to get killed?!

Sitri glances at you before scratching the back of her head and walking over. "Haha, hey Shax! Yeah... Some of those orc ladies were getting a little too touchy feely so I ducked away into this district. Then some of the ogre ladies started getting a little too friendly, so I ran into the first place they didn't follow me. And now I'm here, fighting monsters. Go figure, huh?" Sitri tries to laugh it off, but she looks pretty worn out and maybe a little hurt. "Yeaaah, I didn't know this was an all night kinda deal, though." The gladiatorial gates open up and you hear whistling and shouting, "Oh, hey, sorry boss, I gotta go! Talk to you later?" The satyxis jogs off. What the heck?!

You check the brackets. Apparently Sitri's team is fighting wild animals next, then wild MAGICAL animals, then whoever in the bracket lived to that point, then whoever was the best of the opposite bracket, and then the gladiatorial team fights itself till the last person is standing. Wow, seems brutal.

We knock her down, obviously. Then Shax is the last one standing.

Or she could just, you know, take a seat when we ask her to.

>>31281349
>>Lodge a formal complaint with the management!

>>31281528
We can kill the referee if they insist additional death is required.

>>31281461
We tell our team that they're joining our raid group. They won't mind not dying. And if someone tries to say that's against the rules we tell them to come down here and say that to our face.

>>31281557
This. Show them that we are the boss at all times, even when someone else is technically the boss.

>>31281461
We're the Boss, we do what we please.

>>31281557
That sounds like a good plan.

You take a seat in the stands. Jeez, you're going to be worried sick about this troublesome goat person. They only get about a ten minute break before Sitri is on the field again with an orc and a goblin teammate. Teams start off as groups of six, so they've lost about half their group already. That's not bad, usually you're down to just one or two at this point. You watched a ton of these when the goblins allied with the dark elves, so you're kind of a gladiator junkie!

The other gate opens up and a mixture of beasts come out. You don't know how they aren't fighting each other, but a bear and three wolves barrel out of the gate straight toward's Sitri's team. Oh no! The orc takes out one wolf with a spear, but the other two start tearing the goblin apart. Gross! Sitri gets a few hits on the bear with her tournament blade, but it doesn't slow down any, and even gets a good swipe on her. Ouch! It rears up, and you find yourself jumping over the ledge of the pit and bringing your sword down on the furry creature with a crunch. Oh crap what did you do

"Oh, hey, boss. Thanks for the save." She takes your hand and pulls herself up. "But, uh, your sword is pretty anti-regulation." It's true. The orc and Sitri mop up the wolves and you wait in the pit. "So, what're you doing down here, anyway?"

You punch her in the arm. "I'm not lettin' you die just cause you can't handle some ladies. They've got needs you know, and they can't ignore them forever."

"Um, Shax, you know I'm a girl, right?" Oh right, you forgot again.

"Anyway, I figured I'd join in! What's stopping me?"

"I don't know, the rules?" Sitri crosses her arms, glancing at the arena master. They don't seem to care. "You might want to check with them, though, or they will do some unfair stuff."

Anyone got any good plans.

I feel like we haven't done anything with out Boss point system in a while.

The team organizer is down there and reaches his hands out expectantly at you. You ignore him. The orc with you glances at you nervously, "You tryin' to get me killed? Just register before we fight something truly crazy."

Sitri pats you on the head, "Thanks for showing up and helping me, again, boss. I really appreciate it." She glances at the orc and grins, "It's fine, Shax here knows a thing or two about fighting. I guarantee it!"

The orc raises an eyebrow, "Shax? You mean like that raiding demon goblin? What are you doing down here?"

You cross your arms. All this recognition is gonna give you a big head. "It's a long confidential story! Sorry! But I'm gonna try to not get you killed, I promise."

The team organizer throws up his hands and walks off, probably to talk to some officials. Before too long you hear the bells sounding the next round's start. You and Sitri walk up to the gate, and when it opens up, you're greeted by the sight of...

Two owlbears screeching their heads off as they charge you, and a weird cat thing with tentacle arms on its back that is hard to get a good look at lurking in the shadows. Jeez, typically this stage is just one owlbear that the straggles of the team have a hard time subduing. But two? And that other thing? That's cheating!

What's the plan, boss?

>Only I got the beefy sword to take on an owlbear! You guys fight the cat monster.
>Stall the bears while I deal with that thing.
>Something else entirely.

>>31281852
Yeah, maybe we could try to prepare something cool in advance.

>>31281917
>Only I got the beefy sword to take on an owlbear! You guys fight the cat monster.

>>31281917
>I fight, you watch closely.

Shax is probably too dumb to deal with Displacer Beasts

>>31281950
I know Chief said we got a big head, but... that's probably not a good idea.

>>31281950
Also say Try not to get yourself killed.

>>31281917
>Only I got the beefy sword to take on an owlbear! You guys fight the cat monster.
This plan cannot fail!

>"Shax? You mean like that raiding demon goblin? What are you doing down here?"

Bear are bears, that cat thing worries me.

>>31281917
>Only I got the beefy sword to take on an owlbear! You guys fight the cat monster.

We've got Snapping Turtle now so I think we can effectively fight off two owlbears with a defensive, counter attack focused strategy.

>>31281950
Do it faggot.

>>31281994
Whats Snapping Turtle do again?

Alright, double owl bears it is.

Roll a d20 as well as give me some sort of general strategy or plan! Same rules as always.

>>31282041
You should try spinning. That's a neat trick!

>>31282041
General strategy or plan? You're asking a lot here.

But try to move so that we keep one owlbear between us and the other owlbear until we kill it, then kill the other one with a jump slash. Defense will do nothing for us! We must aggress! Our sword is a sword, not some kind of wussy shield thing!

>>31282038
Counter thrust from our defensive spin stance.

Sort of a split between playing defensive and smacking em about? Alright, I can work with that.

Writing!

We're recruiting this orc if he lives, right?

>>31282180
sure

"I'm gonna handle those bears, you two handle that cat monster!"

Sitri raises her hand, "Um, boss, it isn't a cat monster it is a dis-"

You start running straight at the owl bears. They keep screeching which is, frankly, very annoying, and charge straight for you. They were further away than you thought, and you lose a little of your breath by the time you reach them. Geez, these things are huge. Just before you make contact you start spinning. You bring in your sword as a defensive guard and feel a jolt as you make contact with a bear. It tries to peck and swipe at you, but you come out of the spin, sword outstretched and twisting, and push it right through one of the beasts in a gorey mess. Oh, wow that is gross there are owlbear parts everywhere now. You haven't tried that one before, and it sure did work out well. You'll keep that one in mind.

You glance over just in time to block an attack from the other owlbear who had circled around you. It bats you around a bit before leaning in for a savage peck. that manages to graze you, leaving a bloody mark on your shoulder. It combos you out a few more times while you study its movments and try to prevent damage. After you figure out a good time for an opening you smash it back with your sword, following it up with a jumping slash to finish it off. That's not too hard! You glance over at your teammates who have managed to take down the cat monster, but they're both pretty haggard looking, the orc is especially worse for the wear.

"If I didn't tell him what displacer beasts could do, I don't think we would both be standing right now, boss. But, I don't think you can count on him for the next round." Good help is hard to find! You expect to go back to the holding cells, but... "If there is going to be a 'next round'," Sitri says, glancing at the other teams' gates as they fling open. You're going to be fighting the last three teams all at once?

>Defend! Back up and regroup.
>Attack! They aren't ready yet. Charge em!

>>31282350
>>Attack! They aren't ready yet. Charge em!
"ONE OF THEM COULD BE A WIZARD!"

>>31282350
Do a little of both.

Have Sitri buff us and we'll attack the teams while Sitri and the orc come in behind us after the initial sweep.

>>31282350
>Attack! They aren't ready yet. Charge em!
Don't give them a chance to pelt us with ranged attacks.

>>31282350
>Attack! They aren't ready yet. Charge em!

>>31282350
>Attack! They aren't ready yet. Charge em!
Too bad we don't have ralthazars wild ride

>>31282350
>Attack! They aren't ready yet. Charge em!

Don't give them a chance to surround us. Keep on moving and keep the enemy off balance.

>>31282350
>Defend! Back up and regroup.

However, if we do attack, make sure everyone forms up on Shax and she leads the charge.

>>31282350
Casually parry the fireball which will be arriving any second now

>>31282689
You heard the 20!

>>31282661
We're a small target, with a big fucking sword, against a disorganized rabble who aren't really coordinating with each other.

This means we're in a perfect position to go charging in and just carve a path through them. If we move fast enough and unpredictably enough it'll be difficult for them to mount a good defense against us, and we can just split people in half.

Also, fire, if we could find some way to set stuff on fire in here that'd be awesome.

>>31282689
Listen to the 20

>>31282661
Hit them until they die

Don't get hit

>>31282782
Also, once we have chopped our way through a fair number of guys we can probably tell them that we are Shax Bonemurder, Raid Leader, and that if they wish to live they can join our Raid.

If the referee tries to stop us we can sword him.

>>31282843
Yeah, we definitely should go for some recruiting. Less people to fight that way.

You start charging the group of enemies ahead, they still are disorganized so you have a chance to take out a large group of 'em! The largest group is a set of three people, all orcs, and relatively unharmed, somehow. Call it a premonition, or maybe it was just battle instinct, but you have a flash of insight about the man in the back of the group, and get your sword up in time catch a solid ray of fire as it shoots right towards you. A mage! Dangerous! Still, you gotta keep the momentum up. You plow into one guy up front, and you pretend you didn't see what happened to him. You smack the other guy aside with your sword, before bringing it down on the mage. These fights aren't necessarily to the death, so you make sure to just brain him with the flat of your sword. That, at least, probably won't kill him? You're no doctor.

One group down! The others are a single man standing, and a duo. The single one is a barrell chested ogre, and you instinctively want to avoid it. The duo is a kobold, who you assume was tricked here, and a dark elf. The two groups turn to each other, and then turn to look at you.

They're an equal distance apart, but on opposite sides of the arena.

>What's the plan boss?

>I'm the winner! Also, the boss. Just give it up, alright?
>Time to face our fears! Let's take out an ogre.
>Kobolds are weak, and elves aren't much better! They'll be easy pickings.

Tell them kolbods to quit it

>>31282926
Aren't we immune to fire anyway? We should have just ate the ray and psyched everyone out. Would have been funny.

>>31282966
And while we're at it, we might as well monologue about how it's 2000 years to early for these punks to face us.

>>31282966
Why not?

Diplomance Kobolds. Ogres are probably immune to that though. Elves are too high maintenance as Allonces has shown.

Drow aren't all that bad, we've met some cool dark elves. They answer a lot of our questions.

>>31283387
Tidal Points are linked to the tree. The more skills we buy the more points we'll get.

>>31283387
>what skills should we buy

Longevity of the Non-Goblin, whatever that Non-Goblin is.

>>31283387
We should get "If it is nailed down then we just have to steal the nails" sometime, more loot is nice, and it leads to MLACBTC?! which ought to be useful.

>>31283683
I'd rather grab longevity first.

It's just the smarter choice.

>>31283387
We're barging our way towards Sword Saint, so all MSiF xp is accounted for

"Alright! I just took out three guys two owlbears and a normal regular sized bear all in a row. Now, one of you is as big as a bear, and I give you one guess who I'm talkin' bout, but the rest of you? What chance you think you got? I'm not gonna pick on anybody in particular, but you're both pretty small and scrawny. And this sword is pretty dang big. So just give it up, alright?" You tap yourself on the chest, "You might even get to join me in raiding the surface. The name is Shax Bonemurder!" You wave your sword. Maybe you're in your element at times like this.

The ogre looks sorta confused but the kobold and dark elf look at each other, shrug, and throw their weapons down, and then just sit down. Sitri trots up to you, "That actually worked? How oftend do you do that?" You don't have much of a chance to respond as you prepare for the ogre to run into you. But it doesn't, and just throws its weapon down, too.

A man comes out of the gate near you, and holds his hands up as you turn to face him. "Hey, hi, yo, hey let's stop. Why, uh, why did you ruin this contest, by the way, just wondering?"

Sitri waves and scratches the back of her head embarassedly, "Heyyyy, remember me, yeah I'm part of a strikeforce under her employ and she probably didn't want to see me mauled to death. Yeah, sorry." There is cheering from the audience. It's all women. Sitri steps behind you and ducks down. You're not a very good shield. "Yeah, I'm just gonna tag along with you. These underworld women are a little too much for me. Surface ladies are a lot less... No, they're just as forward."

>You've successfully ruined a minor distraction for the common man! Congratulations.

The day is drawing to a close. You've got to get some rest! The dragon boss arranged a place for you to stay with an actual bed and you feel like you're going to drown in the earth.

>Your party members all had some experiences today! They've gained experience and bought some skills!

>Brokagh has gained Brothers in Beer! Yeah, he had some trouble, but he made a lot of friends he doesn't know the name of today. And apparently got engaged to a duergar woman. Hopefully he'll find out her name before the wedding! Which he is hoping he will die in Yselathe to avoid.

>Allonces has gained Dark Elves Are A Little Hot! She has been repeatedly freaked out today in an attempt to avoid a conversation with a dark elf. This strategy has only forced her into conversation after conversation with dark elves. She has decided that they're pretty cute, but failed to gain an admirer. Maybe she has gained a weird taste for men?

>Bearbreath has gained Form of the Spider! He can now turn into a horrifying giant hairy spider with dripping mandibles. He keeps doing it and hanging out in the corners of your room and you really wish he'd stop.

>Fetidclaw has gained a Broken Heart! He thought he found love but he has lost it, and now he thinks he is a poet and keeps trying to get Sitri to set his awful poetry to music, and she does it out of pity and everyone is worse for it.

>Sitri has gained a Positive Work Environment! Wow, Shax really likes her minions! She'll go to bat to save them. Sitri hasn't been to many places that had bosses that care about their help, and it is honestly kinda refreshing. If more ladies were like Shax...

It's the dawn of a new day! Everyone is waking up slowly.

What's the plan, boss?

>Ask _______ what they're plans are, and offer to hang out with them.
>Go looking for trouble in camp!

Maybe he needs a drinking buddy! Wait, what's the age requirement to legally drink in goblin society? Like, 6 months?

>>31283823
>>Ask fetidclaw what they're plans are, and offer to hang out with them.
Poor guy just had his heart broken guys we should hang out with him for a bit for support. Definitely not to get him to stop making poems no sir.

>>31283823

>Ask Allonces what they're plans are, and offer to hang out with them.

Gotta give her attention some time. That's what you do with minions, right? Give them hope and then dash it?

Bring Allonces. We have to see this skill in action.

Alright! Let's start writing!

>>31283823
>Bearbreath has gained Form of the Spider! He can now turn into a horrifying giant hairy spider with dripping mandibles.
What? That skill is actually useful. You need to slack off more, Bearbreath.

>>31284607
Bearbreath for employee of the month.

You wake up with a yawn and try to not think about Bearbreath's horrifying web above lacing the ceiling.

You do your morning warmup and come back into the room to see everyone waking up.

"Hey, guys. Let's have a pre-adventure party! I never get to party so I thought it'd be nice also I never get to talk to some of you and I don't know what parties are like and the last one I tried to hold was a disaster and I really just want to have a nice one and this might be my last chance since Yselathe sounds awful and I don't really want to have a party with a bunch of demons and dead people and-"

Sitri puts a hand over your mouth, "Haha, okay, yeah, we get it. Let's have a party!" Allonces makes a squeaking noise, and runs over to her bags, and begins pulling out snacks. It's high class snakcs, but maybe that is just something people eat when they are partying. Your last party had snacks you liked, so maybe you have to have stuff like this for a successful party.

when the high elven girl goes to pull out some drinks, Brokagh stops her, and growls "Let's pull some from my personal stash," before digging around in his bag, "That is apparently much smaller than yesterday, but still." He produces two bottles of some sort of liquid.

Before long everyone is around Fetidclaw as he is bawling about meeting a nice lady for the first time in forever, and how he blew it by being too damn pushy. The girls are telling him he's a nice guy and he just needs to do his best while Brokaghs says he can introduce him to a dozen girls if he wants.

"I'm a master of romance, Mr. Claw, and I've got a ring to prove it," Brokagh says, showing off his hand.

Fetidclaw snorts, "Get back to me when you can remember what she looks like."

Half way through the day, and the party was a great success. Everyone had a nice time!

>>31284727

He deserves it.
