".... I know I agreed to repair this..." Novem says, "But I didn't quite get a good look at it the last time I was here... Still, a deal is a deal. We will repair how your dungeon entrance looks. Do you have some sort of theme you were going for?"

Lewd sex dungeon. Say it mary.

As a joke

>>1677909
It should have a cutout of Lily next to it, holding a ruler that says "Must be this long to ride."

>>1677909
Yes, something like the background of this image, but with a slimegirl instead.

>>1677909

Well, it is Slimecrown Citadel. Perhaps a large gate with a crowned slime on top would be a good place to start?

Or maybe some double doors that both from a mosaic of Curie and her various attendants?

>>1677909
Take a look inside. The first trap should make it obvious.

>>1677904
I misread Law as Lewd D:

Lewd rune when?

>>1677909
Well, I think because we are a big ol' Citadel. We want some large walls and a largr gate, the walls have towers at the end of each to help emphasize the majesty. And then a few banners running down the top of the walls, displaying the Slimecrown Citadel Emblem.

Perhaps some foliage too? A few trees to help look a bit more lived in as opposed to sparse

>>1677909
The dungeon is full of wet girls, with a few big buff dudes and a plant of nondetermined gender. Work with that.

>>1677909
Traditional castle, with slimes: Short, stout rounded castle doors surrounded by a relief of a giant slime wearing a crown (basically what the skull was trying to do here) with a porticullis behind them.

That's the citadel itself rising behind the cave, right? Let's get our entrance to mesh with the rest of the dungeon's wall.

Does anybody have the picture of the big slime covering the citadel?

>>1677942
I'm liking this. We had a concept drawing earlier, but can't find it...

>>1677909
Needs a moat filled with basic 1 rune slimes. Thousands of them.

>>1677909

Castle-esque with a large slime canopy. The entrance will be a gate with slimecrowns name carved into the upper archway. Add a fountain out front as well and make it pretty, because that's where the supporters/founders plaque will go, and on which Yum's name will feature. Otherwise, Yum mentions are not to be on the outside of the building.

Also, pitch BRAWNDO to her.

>>1677968
We'll pitch Brawndo to her when we've got the entrance finished.

It can't just be an add on, this is the defining moment of the thread, after all.

castle gate with turrets for slime guards to stand on.

>>1677909
>>1677961
Yes, a slime crowned citadel, if you will.

Found it

>>1677909
Woohoo! New Audtist Quest!

A Citadel, made with Slime, preferably near the crown of it.

>>1677909
One final thing I want to add.

We should have a rather ornate statue at the beginning, or at the fountain. One of Curi. That way, it also doubles as a convenient vehicle for sponsorship plaques. Things that are always subtle and won't break lore too hard.

>>1677993
I remember some other idea where instead of over the whole citadel, the slime dome the highest tower.

I always thought the dungeon was inside a mountain, am I the only one who did that?

>>1678002
It's kind of nebulous really, I kinda assumed that the rock wall and shabby entrance always lead to a pocket dimension, that was our dungeon. It's just the one remodeling aspect that's lagged behind, for admittedly good reasons.

>>1678002
It was. We're changing that. No more inside of a mountain super spooky aesthetic.

We're making this a proper citadel.

>>1677993
This is just for the entrance. For now. We'll change the whole thing later.

>Mary gives some pointers to how she wants the dungeon to look to Novem. The woman takes notes and crafts a draft.

"How's this? It has the fountain, sentry towers, and just a more castle-like entrance."

>>1678025
Yep, that's a good un' Novem.

>>1678025

Any chance the turrets can shoot lasers to deter future vandalism?

>>1678025
Where's the Lily cutout?

>>1678025
Add a huge neon sign shaped like Lily being smug.

>>1678025
I'm liking this. I'm liking this a lot.

>>1678025
I like it but let's make it slightly slimier by adding goo waterfalls. Maybe thin ones either side of the banners with semicircular pools for it to drain into?

>>1678046
Seconding the Smug Lily.

>>1678025
Can you make it ooze?

>>1678048
Semicircular ones across the whole width of the diagonal pools I mean. So two waterfalls per pool.

>>1678046
eeeeeeeh that's pretty gaudy. I like this look.

We just need a variety of Smug Lily shots for promotional material!

>>1678057
We could make a shield with her smug, make it our dungeon's banner.

>>1678025

This is fine. No neon Lilies or slime-falls, please.

>>1678047
No wait actually. Mary.

We need YOU.

YOUR FACE. A SILHOUETTE. OR MAYBE A STATUE.

But people need to know that this was because of you. YOU. You came in here with nothing, and are changing this into something amazing. What is soon to be the greatest dungeon complex in the world is something wraught by YOUR hands. I mean sure, we advise and suggest. But YOU are the final arbiter, and YOU are where all the praise should land. This place would be nothing without YOU. And everyone should know it, now! Think about it, MASTER MARY.

Has a great ring to it, eh?

>>1677909
Fat king slime and you enter through his mouth. There should be parapets poking through his "shoulders," and a banner that says "Welcome!" Maybe a Yum!-brand concession stand outside and carnival games. Remember, Mary only controls the inside of the dungeon.

>>1678049
>>1678045
>>1678047
That seems to strip clubish. Doesn't fit the theme.

Ooh add torch sconces for night time adventurers

>>1678025
Needs more Lily.

>>1678064
Blasphemy. We need a Smug Lily Cutout, or a Neon Smug Lily, or a Smug Lily Photoshoot or something.

Something to tell the adventurers "We have Smug Lily here."

>>1678070
I didnt vote for a Lily cutout. That's not me.

Can we get Status of Mary and the royal slimes?
Maybe put them in the fountain?

>>1678072
What about a balcony where lily could address potential Adventurers? Nothing like the real deal

>>1678070
It's a sneak peek at the most regal slime! Every serious dungeon does that.

>>1678082
Can she speak?

>>1678062
Well, we do kind of have an emblem out already...

Maybe she's on the opposite side of our citadel tokens?

Even though if it should be anyone, it should be Curi...serriously guys, Curi IS Slimecrown way more than Lily is...

Besides adventurers haven't obsessed themselves over Lily. Don't need to force popularity, that just makes things unpopular!

>>1678070
I do think the torch sconces are a nice idea though. Classy look for a Classy dungeon.

>>1678083
Which is Mama Curi...

>>1678025
Geez, that sign was huge.

>>1678080
That might be better suited to a hall of statues later.

>>1678086
Only in Slimish that we know of. The other three rune princesses speak Common, but I think SOMEONE skipped Common lessons...

>>1678087
Technically, it's Bloops.

Also, haven't you heard? It's normally $1000 PER Smug Lily.
If adventurers know we have Smug Lily here, they'll be lining up to give us money.

>>1678082
I dig it. Someplace where we can take a look outside would be nice. It'd be great for us when we can go outside.

>>1678095
Actually, considering that Mary has to make herself known sometimes, like during raids. It's not a bad idea to have a much more safe spot for Mary to speak to adventurers.

>>1678099
I thought we would be behind the slime bubble, though.

>>1678092
Pretty sure she can speak actual human by this point.

>>1678099
That's a really good point.
Agreed and seconded

We should probably build something like that in the dungeon proper. In the final boss room.

This is very, very noble like.

Nobody understands her blind tard language. She is mercilessly mocked.

Excellent idea.

Told you guys.

Guess Slimish Syrup is going to be a big seller one day. Or RSJ. Or the Slimeheart Locket(as a drop, that is)

oh yea the dark souls like item drops with realy cool descriptions.

>>1678135
Well we have the YUM deal to Iron out And watch Anon try to/not to bungle it based off the last time, the YUM! test run. And there is also that call we got from the League Of Dungeon Masters...

>>1678116
>expecting commoners to be more educated than nobles
I question Lily's standards for what nobility entails.

>>1678139
>>1678116

>>1678116

Actually, most accomplished royalty learned to speak a menagerie of tongues. It was a mark of pride showing intelligence, wit, and culture. Failing to learn more than your mother tongue at best was deemed just lazy, if not an indication that the royalty in question lacked the intelligence or aptitude.

>>1678137
Sorry, she only tongues alternate dimension elves

>>1678139
awesome sauce, now then, lets make more dark souls item drops.

>>1678139
AESTHETIC AS FUCK!
Are you sure you don't want a statue, Mary? It's free, we don't have to pay for it!

>>1678139
Where is Lily's smug? It can be as statue too.

>>1678139
Hide a slime token in the tuft of grass along the right side.

>>1678139
>and a podium where she can address people who enter

Oooookay not!dictator.

>>1678139
Oh my god. We look...we look beautiful!

>>1678147
Keep in mind that these item drops are actually programmed in, more or less. We don't actually have to make them. Bosses drop them automatically off the table.

>>1678139
Mary, needs more Smug Lily.

>>1678158
yea but we can make cool descriptions that add cool lore and make people sad that they killed certain people!
like if they kill the shy princess, they should always feel bad for doing that.

>>1678116
Lily, educated commoners tend to start revolutions. Think about that for a minute.

>>1678151
No statues.

"Excellent." Novem says. "I'll finalize the changes in just a moment. We also have a cheque for G2,000 ready for you if you will agree to a trial run in your dungeon. We have the chests and products ready to go."

>>1678185
I think we're ready to give this a trial run.

Lets see how this goes people!

>>1678185
Oh hey, those look pretty lore friendly

>>1678185
Mary, tell her that we were considering her request for a boss and we'd like access to the YUM! Rune for it.
Pitch the shit out of Brawndo, Mary.

>>1678185
Now is the time to pitch BRAWNDO, the Mutilator (of Thirst).

>>1678197
>>1678198
Wait until we see this work out first! We don't have a mini boss room ready for him yet.

>>1678185
Okay, but I think we should structure the Yum! shop in a more lore-friendly way' like having it shaped like a traveling merchant's wagon. That looks a bit too much like an obviously tacked-on advertisement, which would clash with the dungeon atmosphere.

>>1678203
Nah, man. We do it now, and pitch it as an event. He'll take over Boss Room from Curi during the YUM! Trial Run.
Then at the end, when people beat him or lose, he tells them to come back and CHALLENGE HIM FOR REAL AT THE COLOSSEUM!
OHHHH YEAH~!

>>1678203
So cycle him out with someone else! We already had more minibosses than rooms.

>>1678185

We will do her one better, a hidden boss with a YUM! theme. BRAWNDO the Slime Gladiator.

As for her tagging of the shop, it's a little blatant. I'd suggest allowing our restaurant to have an "Out of this World" menu with YUM products on it. Clever, punny, and subtle.

YUM! chests are fine as is. Maybe add a storyline/piece of lore with each that talks about a merchant losing his cache and abandoning it to hungry slimes.

>>1678203
Agreed. Let's wait to sweeten the pot when we know it's worth the effort.

>>1678209
Also agreed.

>>1678185
Looks good to go. They don't play music or anything right?

>>1678185
Wait, we've looked over the contract for any unexpected and unfortunate hidden clauses, right? For example, if either party decides to cancel the sponsorship, that doesn't mean they'll revert the entrance to the way it was, does it?

>>1678185
Is that a pocket protector or a Minia patch?

>>1678185
>>1678203

What we need is to use the money we are getting for a miniboss room upgrade to the colloseum. That way, we can setup a roster of fun fights for adventurers to enjoy.

>>1678209

I approve of a merchant's wagon or similar serving as a stall for YUM products. Have them offer a reward for YUM chests returned from throughout the dungeon, with a special reward for finding all of the hidden chests.

>>1678227
The intent of a trial run is to see if this contract is beneficial. I don't think there is any intent to sign and hand over the money until all parties are happy with the data they saw.

>>1678209
>>1678230
Ooh I like this!

>>1678230
>What we need is to use the money we are getting for a miniboss room upgrade to the colloseum.
Full Boss Room. That way we can do a boss run in there if we want, or the standard colosseum set up leading up to Brawndo, who is a full Boss.

>>1678185
Thats what they all say Mary! Next thing you know, you are marching columns of slimes through the street, banners unfurled in conquest. Tsk Tsk.

>>1678230
I like both of these, but lets build the collosseum upstairs when we build the Rest of the city. Adventurers can fight there against monsters from the dungeon at their pleasure, against a Small Fee and without the drops. This way they can train or reenact fights without entering the dungeon itself.

I'll keep the boss idea to myself for now. Just until we see how the trial run goes.

"You know, I think I may have a better idea. Instead of being in the store, how about having a wagon selling the goods? The lore could be that they came to visit the citadel and, along the way, lost some of their goods to the slimes within. That's why the chests are all around.

Maybe even add a reward for finding all the chests."

>Novem looks quite taken by the idea.

"I hadn't considered something like that... I think it blends into the lore very well. Not only that but they are rescuing a member of our brand and actively hunting for our product... This is a great idea, Mary. Very good. Normally I would have to check in with others before changing something like this but, considering it's the trial run, I think we can just do it now.

Is there anything else or shall we move forward with this?"

>>1678251
There! Let's run it!

>>1678251
Lets give er a go!

>>1678251
She looks like she has impressive juggs

See if you can convince her to wear something more revealing.

>>1678246
Colosseum needs to have prizes, or nobody will do it.
Perhaps Colosseum Points or something?

>>1678251
>I'll keep the boss idea to myself for now. Just until we see how the trial run goes.
Mary, we need Brawndo to hype the Trial Run and Colosseum though. That's the point, he's the draw.
You've got to have your draw.

>>1678262
I don't want our dungeon investigated for handing out CP. Just integrate it into the greater dungeon token system.

>>1678251

Let's do this! Still a fan of updating the Colloseum into a miniboss room and setting up a roster of our bench warmers to be ready to fight adventurers there if they want an extra challenge.

So who are we hoping to show up today?

>>1678287
Marauder and Demon

>>1678262
Hm i think Training and Strategy testing should be good Motivation to go there. For other rewards, we already have a token System we can add this to, i guess. Maybe for completing challenges, like defeat 100 random slimes without rest, or fight reginald with one Hand tied behind your back.

>>1678251
Locked and rocked. Let's do this.

>>1678287
I'm hoping this episode we can see someone try out the lockets or fusion goo. Maybe Ronin and Psion, or Rogue and Mage.

>>1678251

Oh right, Mary, don't forget to look back to the previous thread where we discussed the multi-tier dungeon. Essentially, changing the dungeon challenge level and monster setup to accommodate adventurers of different levels and party sizes.

>>1678296
Nah, man. It can't just be a "Pay some gold, fight a think." There need to be full Colosseum Tournaments, a Ladder Bracket people can run through, ect.
You get points based on how well you do, which can be exchanged for special colosseum rewards and if you reach the end you can fight Brawndo for his drops.
If you win the tournament, you get to challenge Brawndo for the Rare and Mighty 「Championship Belt」

And then have him do promos and interviews and shit.

>>1678296
Different types of Coliseum fights maybe.

>Boss Rush (Take on the toughest of Slimecrown's inhabitants in back to back battles! Can you make it all the way?)
>Tournament Event (16 man tournament, half slimes, half adventurers. Who will take home the gold?!)
>100 Slime Kumite (You against 100 slimes, one after the other! Try 1000 Slime Kumite for ultra rare prizes!)
>Dream Team Match (Ever wanted to fight ALONGSIDE a boss slime you don't normally get to in an arena situation? Now's your chance!)

>>1678323
AT that point zts going to be a dungeon level on its own. Not that im completely against that. It's one idea for a new Level theme/layout

>>1678323
>>1678336
My hope is that if we do proceed with this line of thinking in the future, that we trial it, and then put it into practice as it's own dungeon like >>1678340 brings up.

When Mary's Dungeon Enterpises expands with more varieties of dungeons, it's going to be a very useful too for cross dungeon promotions.

>>1678287
Sparky and Psion.

I think it might be best to save this kind of discussion until the end of the thread. We want to keep things pretty stable until we wrap up this special princess event and then we should have a nice pile of runes and gold to roll out a new thing all at once.

>>1678340
>>1678349
The reason for the Colosseum Setup though is that it doesn't have to be it's own dungeon.

We can literally stick a large boss room with spectator seats, a small entrance/reception hall, and a room in back for the monster competitors.
Then use that for all our colosseum needs.

>>1678364
We are getting Brawndo this thread. I didn't wait however many weeks just to have to wait until next Audit.

>>1678364
oh yeah the princess thing is still going on.

>>1678375
Yes, I get that part, I'm just saying that in the future if we get more and more dungeons, the Colosseum is better served as an all purpose dungeon for all monsters against all our various realms to show up. That and then we can run a Colosseum run AND a Slimecrown run, doubling our revenues.

But for now, yeah it's fine as a future plan for Slimecrown.

>6 are from Red Widow and one is from Lord Savage of the Dungeon Keepers.

... I could just ignore all of these and start picking heroes for the dungeon.

>>1678389
Oh, yeah definitely. Eventually making it, it's own thing would work pretty well.

I wonder if even though it's connected to Slimecrown, we can find a way to make a second entrance so we can do Colosseum Runs while it's connected.
We also need to find a way to allow people who want to spectate in, that way we can run betting on the side.

>>1678375
The single most tiresome thing about these threads is when someone decides to push their pet idea when it's not the right time for it.

You're gonna be part of the guild!

>>1678400
Mary! You give that girl a hug and let her watch how the dungeon is run.
If we're going to raise her into a proper heir, she needs to be involved.

Check all the messages, Red Widow's is good for laughs, and Lord Savage is good for business.

No, the most tiresome thing about these threads is when you have four people say to pitch an item, versus two who didn't and it gets ignored.

Hey, she's no abomination! She has runic items, but that doesn't make her less human!

>>1678420
I was under the impression we gave her 500g

Also, don't just stuff all our money in, that's bad business.

>>1678424
Theme is important, no matter how many times you say it isn't.

>>1678432
>Theme is important, no matter how many times you say it isn't.
Theme is only important to a point. But around here, theme has become "I don't like this idea, better screech about theme until it gets dropped."

>>1678435
>Theme is only important to a point.

HERESY!!!
Just kidding. Sorry couldn't resist. You are right anon

>>1678432
I'd like to make back the money we spent on buying her some time this century. If it's hard to withdraw money we've given her, sure we can loan her less.

>>1678435
Brawndo has electrolytes. I don't think we have a salt rune yet.

>>1678424
That's a problem, not a solution. The reason every thread is five times as long as its actual content is because of people constantly bringing up their pet projects and talking about them for the entire thread when they don't have anything to do with what's actually happening at the time. The actual events of the quest have to share threadspace with that, and the people who want to participate in the thread have to constantly sift through it.

>>1678450
It was more about testing out her returns first. That and we should always have a reserve, because remember, adventurers want loot. If we gave it all up (not what you're suggesting here, but bare with me) then we have nothing to give people. Not to mention its good to have reserves for projects LIKE the aforementioned Colosseum.

>>1678400
Hey Mary, you should make sure the proper paperwork is filed so that you are Isabelle's foster mother, not her kidnapper.

And also, I'm really proud of you for stepping up like this. I know it's not easy for you. Isabelle's a good kid, you'll be fine.

You should make a point to find out how much gold she needs for those resurections though.

>No smug lily gateway.
The entrance will forever be incomplete.

>>1678452
I'll make you one and mail it in.
Though, I was thinking more along the lines of Water/Fist/Fist/Stone/Fancy or something.

>>1678466
Maybe we can do Smug Lily Photoshoots showing off the new Entrance, eventually.

Okay, geeze.. I'll hug her or something.

>Mary has Curi bring the girl up. She opens her arms wide for another huge. Mary awkwardly responds by giving her a quick hug.

I am not good with kids.

"Yay~" Isabelle says.

"... So, Isabelle, you uh... Wanna watch me work for a bit?"

"Okay." She says with a smile.

...
Guess she'll just... Stand there.

>>1678463
ugh.... I guess. Yeah. Thanks.

I should probably look into making sure there is actually no one that could legally care for her and, if not, that I can.

Resurrections are NOT cheap, though. Last I saw one that drains EXP costs like 45,000 gold. True resurrections are even more expensive.

>>1678420
>>1678432
I.... Totally forgot to give her anything. I'll give her 500 and see what happens.

Now...
Let's see these emails real quick.

======================

From: Lord Savage
To: Mary Smith
Subject: Entering the Dungeon Keepers Guild. Offer Within

Hello once again, Mary Smith. I know that our last chat was cut short but I hope this email reaches you at a good time. Please get in contact with me again at the earliest convenience.

We would very much like to discuss with you what our guild has to offer.

=======================

Uhm... Should I respond now? I also have a lot of potential heroes looking to come in right now.

>>1678475
Oh, promotion material is nice too.

Hmm, we could have her be like an announcer of events, or put her on fliers and marketing campaigns.

>>1678484
The faster you reply, the quicker we get guild privileges
Then we'll let those Heroes in!

>>1678484
As we have a line of contact now, we should run at least once, and then see if the time is right to talk with Lord Savage, it does not appear to be time sensitive.

>>1678484
Mary, look at it this way: Most people suck ass. This is your chance ti mold somebody who will not only ideally share your values and goals, but actually care about you... like that house plant you kept in your apartment to stave off the crushing loneliness that has most likely died by now.

>>1678484
>DONT IGNORE ME,I WILL CRUSH YOU
oh god she's tsundere

>>1678484

"Apologies, Lord Savage. We are presently in the middle of a special event with many customers waiting. We'll respond at end of business day."

Also, heh, I wanna keep ignoring the bitch.

>>1678484
Respond after the trial. With Novem here, this is not the earliest convenience.

>>1678510
Ignore her until we get our Halo, then respond with our Smuggest Mary face wearing the halo and be all "Oh sorry, didn't notice your messages. I was busy working out details with my new sponsor and finishing my application to the Dungeon Master Guild."

>>1678484
Bully the Red Widow. She seems really easy to bait. Just reply "K." or something. Guaranteed replies.

>>1678520
hahaha yes
also say your reply later

>>1678484
This is not your earliest convenience, so don't respond yet.
Red Widow's funny. Don't respond, but don't block her either.

>>1678484
Best to wait until you can devote your undivided attention to him. I feel like the two of you can have a good working relationship based on respect, he seems pretty reasonable.

Rolled 9 (1d20)

>>1678484
bully her about lewd pics, since she's obviously a cam whore

>>1678530
Speaking of Lewd Pics and Cam Whores, I wonder if we can convince Novum to pose for a Daki.

>>1678484
Politely decline Lord Savage's offer, ideally your stay as a dungeon master is temporary.

With regards to Widow, invite her over for tea, snacks, and perhaps a visit to the spa? She must be lonely if she worries about the new DM not paying attention to her.

We could have Demonologist watch over operations for a party or two while Mary takes care of administrative business. She did well last time.

Yeah, hold off on it for now. Let's get this test over with and then we can focus on his offer.

>>1678484

Don't respond for now, save it for after the current dungeon run. Savage seems to be aware that DMs have their own daily schedules, unlike Mrs. Spider.

>>1678593
Naw, send Red Widow a 'lol k,' and THEN reply again after the run.

>>1677993
Drawanon here. Glad to see that my work has made an impression. and is beginning to be implemented into the dungeon.

>Mary replies to Red Widow's message with: "k"

Now to respond to Lord Savage.

>Mary drafts a simple reply: "Apologies, Lord Savage. We are presently in the middle of a special event with many customers waiting. We'll respond at end of business day."

>There is no reply email from him.

Probably gonna take a minute.

"Isabelle, watch. I'm going to bring up the groups that want to enter."

>Mary uses the Dungeon Manager 2.0. Three groups spring to the top of the list.

Hmm. Which to choose.

>>1678674
GROUP 1
LET'S DO IT
This is the best chance for us to show our new entrance!

>>1678674
OH HEY, IT'S PSION, RONIN, and MUSCLE WIZARD. And TWO NEW FRESH FACES.

GROUP 1!

>>1678681
I think Marauder is Fighter-girl back for yet another go, only she's gotten ULTRA SWOLE.

>>1678674
Group 2 seems interesting. An Aberration, eh?

>>1678674
Group 3.

Though I mean, I'm fine with any of these groups.

Group 1 is definitely going to be the test to see how we do for lore though. That's for sure.

>>1678674
GROUP 3!

DRAGON RUNES!

DRAGON SLIMES!

>>1678674
Group 3! I bet they're lovers

>>1678674
Raid group!

>>1678674
I hope we can squeeze in group 2 because I want to see how their party works and get spooky runes for that basement idea but yeah, group 1. Love those guys.

>>1678674
Group 1

>>1678683
Who? You mean ronin?

>>1678683
Possible, but I think its more likely a new class altogether.

>>1678685
Also now that I think about it, we're going to need to figure out how the raids are going to work for this iteration. I'll see if I can dig up the general template.

Before I vote, remind me- what's the overall level of Curi?

I'm actually wondering if we might be underleveled for once. Which, I mean, fine if they win. Just something to note.

>>1678695
No, I mean OG girl. She was decked out in knight armor before, I forget her actual class name.

>>1678674
Group 3, I hope it's Tali!

>>1678674
This is always the hardest part for me...

If we have the lockets, group one.
Otherwise, group three.

>>1678674
Eh... I really like that psion and wizard are such loyal repeat customers, and raid mode is fun, but I kind of think we should let more new people pass through.

Group 3.

>>1678674
Group 2, I want new runes and dragons are overdone.

Sorry Group 1. Another time, not in the mood for a Raid.

>>1678705
Warrior.

>>1678715
Her. I think Marauder is her, just max classed.

>>1678674
Raids can be fun, but they take forever to do and we already saw some of them way too many times.

I'll vote for group 2, the mystery option always paysoff.

Anywho, for my ACTUAL vote...as much as I'd be hyped for the old standbys, I kinda wanna see if we can impress some new blood.

>>1678674
Group 3.

>>1678674
>>1678679
Actually, I'll change my vote to Group 3
I want to see another Dragon Rider

>>1678674
>>1678685
Switching vote to group 1.

I just realized, if we want to pull the YUM deal off, we best try it with the people that might be sad that we have branding now.

Group 1 it is.

>>1678674
Group 2

Also, that dude just LOOKS like a guy who'll stop and check the lore.

Reposting some ideas mentioned in the previous threads in case we go raid mode:

Anonymous (ID: 72oNYh/5) 04/02/17(Sun)19:00:23 No.1329567

So I took a walk to mull this over and here's what I've thought up.

What we got wrong in the previous fights is that we've put Reginald in the spotlight first and focused on the fight aspect instead of the social aspect with the nobility and such, this led to raid parties ganking RSK to skip to second stage (the part where Lily and RSK merge) or adventurers instantly gunning for Lily in hopes to end the fight altogether.

What we should do instead is put Lily as the focus. Lily likes the attention as the firstborn and what she likes more are the moments where Reginald swoops in to save her like a slimeknight in shining slime.

Here's what I'm proposing:
>Adventurers will enter the room and find Lily on the chair center stage with Reginald standing close by just behind the princess.
>This sets up emphasis on the initial challenge having a social aspect with the threat of a fierce fight behind it should adventurers break the social rule of conversing with nobility.
>Lily will set up a challenge for adventurers which she will ask to the adventurers. If they succeed, they get a key.
>Lily will use her magic to have adventurers dodging slime geysers and ice balls cast at her leisure and with wizard slimes and squire slimes supporting her for five minutes with Reginald entering the fray 3 minutes in.
>Adventurers at this stage may attack the wizard slimes, squire slimes, and even kill Reginald without repercussion.
>The challenge is a "sheath your sword" social challenge. Adventurers will be presented with the option to break the social code and take a pot-shot at Lily who is casting all of these spells, or they can endure the onslaught and wait for Lily to become exhausted at the five minute mark.
>if an adventurer somehow survives the whole five minutes without taking a pot-shot at Lily, Lily will stop and congratulate them for surviving and providing her wonderful entertainment. If the adventurers somehow get a kill on Reginald, she will be very impressed and give them 1 piece of loot from either Lily's or RSK's loot table determined at random. Don't worry about Reginald, Lily will Resurrect Reginald at the end of the challenge.
>if they do take a pot-shot at Lily, everything stops and adventurers face RSK's wrath. This starts the Miniboss fight where RSK fights the adventurers and Lily supports Reginald Lorian&Lothric style. This is the stage where adventurers can choose to either kill RSK first and fight Lily Queen, or kill Lily first and face The Royal Right Hand. Upon their death they get the key and loot.

>>1678721
Actually good point. I'd like to change my vote to group 2

>>1678693

>>1678674

Group 1

>>1678674
Group 1!

>>1678674
I wanna see the dragon. Also dragons tend to have stupid weakness that are easily to exploit, for example they can't resist loot. So is easy to bait them.

>>1678758
>>1678674
they also have overwhelming egos don't they? I wanna break a dragon into becoming Masochistic in running this dungeon! A dragon humbled by slimes!

>>1678688
>lovers
Well one IS riding the other so...

>>1678766
None of our slimes is that high leveled not even our final Boss. And we cannot use raid mode with just two people. Maybe add a bait switch that says "If you are great and powerful to want a challenge.pull this lever." So the switch ends activating raid mode if an adventurer uses it?

...I just realized.

What if the dragon + rider just don't want to do any of the non-combat challenges? They're REALLY high leveled, so...

>>1678674
Changing to Group 1.

>>1678789
Given the dragon's high level relative to the rider, i think this is the type of party that lets the dragon take care of most if not all the things.

group 1 please, i like ronin.

>>1678674
Group 3

>>1678806
Hence why we are gonna exploit dragon weakness.

>>1678816
So mimic? We should create a gold/treasure mimic. But a dragon would notice the mimic. I guess trap with treasure used as bait to attract the dragon to it.

>>1678833
Explodey Mimic!

Wait, so what won? I think Group 1?

>>1678839
ya i think group one.

>>1678836
Explody tresure mimic.

Have the updated loot tables with the lore passages been implemented Mary?

I just realized, that one day we may have a gummy wyrm...

If there was ever a time to hope for the dragon rider to show up...

>>1678855
Yes, dragons bane everywhere.

Mary chooses... Group 1

===Warning: Dungeon is entering Raid Mode.===

---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a special mode for me the Dungeon Master. They are allowed to add and remove monsters as much as they want in order to increase or decrease the challenge. The normal restrictions for that are lifted and any monsters sent in are given the same special revival as a monster that was placed in at the start.

Also, the dungeon master must appear at the end in some shape or form.

There must also be a piece 'Epic Tier' loot at the end.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

>The Marauder enters the dungeon, her group behind her. She hefts an axe bigger than herself over her shoulders.

"So... This is the famous citadel... We'll be relying on the veterans to guide us through most of it, though I've heard it's changed since then. Even so, I feel confident that we can win..."

1/2

>>1678970
Well gang. Time to pull out that possible breakdown for various levels of hero.

>>1678970
>epic tier loot
Come on Lockets...

>>1678970
Eeeeh.

>>1678983

YAY!

>>1678970
Fuck, we actually have to win!

>>1678970
I KNEW IT. MARAUDER IS A FRESH FACE

>>1678970
Hey Marauder, are your legs OK?

>>1678970

Fret not--the sisters and Muscle Wizard will carry us through this day. Their experiences previously running the dungeon will be invaluable here.

>>1678992
Wellllllllp

Looking at the last thread. It would be assumed that this group should be right about here

> Slimecrown Conqueror
Recommended group level: 160
Likely Group Composition: Four level 40’s, Five level 35’s
Description: Something hides in the heart of Slime Crown Citadel, and you’re going to find out what. Let nothing stop you on your way to what lurks beneath. [Princesses become hostile and actively work against adventurers.]
> Boss: Curi, Final Defender of Slimecrown
> Bonus Boss: What Lies Below (Jeffrey)

But we'll still have to work out how we want to do the rest of the event.

After all, they still get to have a princess tag around with them! It's a special event!

Let it be Sophie time!

>>1678970
I hope she drops brozouf runes.

>>1679002
It should be Lily or Ms. Bloops.

>>1679002
>>1678970

And the scaling of each room should break down as follows for them, in theory.

Lvl 125 Composite
Easy: 6.5 runes
Avg: 8 runes
Mod: 9.5 runes (Boss -)
Hard: 12.5 runes (Boss+)

>>1679002
But if the princesses become hostile why would the adventures have then in their party? Shouldn't it be Simon instead of the princess?

>>1679008
>Lily
>Working together with the adventurers
Ha. Cute.

That and people kind of want to push for their special loot item.

Anyways. One princess, whichever one they run into first, is not hostile, as this is a special promotion.

>>1679018
I noticed that and think we override slightly because of the special event.

Essentially, run into one princess, they join you. Fight the others.

>>1679008
Nah let it be Slimon. We need to give the girls and christmas cakes something to daaaw to.

>>1679020
oh okay. Makes more sense.

"ONWARD!" She commands the group.

"I hate running dungeons..." Cleric says.

Alright, first room is coming up... Any changes to the slime pit or should we just leave them be til they make it to a major area?

>>1679021
>>1679008
>>1679002
Simon then! He'd be great to seduce the female Heroes

>>1679025
Replace bloops with an explodey that wants hugs.

is it wrong i want people to argue over the lore in universe? like, the magical equivalent to reddit or what ever site you go to to argue that kinda stuff.

>>1679027
never bloops is needed
also that cleric looks so fucking done oh my god.

>>1679025
Give Ms. Bloops some glow sticks for her to wave at the adventurers when they run by.

>>1679025
Put gravity slime on the other side. It doesn't directly attack, it just makes crossing the pit painful and dodges.

>>1679025
Oof that's a mighty Axe...

Also Cleric is rather moody. This should be fun.

Note that Ashley will not be generating as much gold unless Cleric dies herself.

Add a few archers maybe to protect the moat, but that should be all.

>>1679025
Leave 'me be. Someone usually gets antsy and gets whapped. If they don't, it'll give us an indication of their competence.

>>1679025

Bloops is go. For the comfy moat, have the comfies reaching up and trying to drag them down, actively. Maybe fuse a psion slime into the pool for added effect.

>>1679025
>Install a non-hostile Gravity slime! or several gravity slimes. Btw, the trap still works. They have to time their jump in a way that they have to use the rope to cross without getting fucked by Gravity shifts.

>>1679025
Add some Archers! It's a Moat! on Raid Mode! Give them the Slimecrown regal welcome!

>>1679039
Nah. The fountain and Ms. Bloops is a test of character. It gives us an idea of how much of a bastard we should be.

>>1679039

>>1679044
Never mind, reading is hard and I am retarded.

>>1679044
Heres me wondering if the newer people might splat Ms Bloops before the veterans can stop them

>>1679032
I know her pain...being a healer is hard.
I can't remember precisely, but, in Raid mode we don't have Ashley giving heals right?

>>1679025
Gravity slimes in the moat, archers. Make them earn it.

>>1679049
I think it was more expensive or limited.

>>1679049
I thought they were more expensive, and Ashley is targetable, though she will only fight back if provoked.

>>1679025
Bloops, SURPRISE ATTACK! Glomp the nearest adventurer! it'll probably do like, zero damage anyway. Remain stuck on their face til they cross the moat successfully.

>>1679057
Man, I get the feeling Cleric's gonna snark at Ash.

>>1679049
More expensive. Not limited, can't recall if it doubled exponentially.

>>1679025
Replace the comfies with explodeys like last time, and maybe include a dark slime to obscure them and a gravity slime to fuck with them.

>>1679049
Ashley gives out limited quantities of heals and revives. 3 revives pool for the whole party. Also some of the general shop items are in limited quantities

>>1679036
>Also Cleric is rather moody. This should be fun.

She must be new as a healer. Because eventualy this apathy will be so overwelming that she will stop giving zero fuck and star giving -10 fucks

>>1679070
DUDE! I don't come here for sad feels!

>>1679070

Previously, the cost of the revivals during a raid was 500 gold and healing was 100 gold. Exponentiation and limitation never factored in, I don't think.

Also, reposting the suggested tier list from last time.

> Level 10-20 dungeon: Healing is 25g for a heal, 150 for a res.

> Level 20-30 dungeon: Healing is 40g for a heal, 200 for a res.

> Level 30-40 dungeon: Healing is 50g for a heal, 250 for a res.

> Level 40-50 dungeon: Healing is 75g for a heal, 350 for a res.

> Level 50-60 dungeon: (Essentially raid mode) Healing is 100g, 500 for a res.

>>1679070
Why isn't Curi hanging out with her mom?

>>1679096
Because is a secret who her mother is.

In Supef Raid mode Miss Bloops revives and fuses with her daughters and grandaughters creating the Empress of Slimes! Sure is just a few runes more and we don't have a room for it yet, but when we do it, is gonna be awesome!

>>1679086
But that's made-up lore to immerse the adventurers, not something that happened.

>>1679102
yea it would be cool
also the name would be the primordial goop

>>1679104
Wait what? Oh gods dammit.

>>1679102
Eh, bloops doesn't need to be part of that.

>>1679105
In the lore for the adventures. Did the primordial goo gave birth to both queen and king?

>>1679077
>>1679079

They're mana constructs...

>>1679107
I know, it gets super immersive. It doesnt help that a lot of demons behave the same on and off the clock. Lily really does act like a princess, (I think she believes she is one) even though slimecrown citadel is a high-octane theme park, not a real country.

>>1679113
The lore might not be real, but their feelings are.

Ms. Bloops actually is Curi's Mother, though. She's the slime left over from when the Skeleton Dude owned the place and is the source of the Water Runes that we used to make Curi.

>>1679124
she is what was left over once the slime goddess gave life to curi and the slime people. sacrificing her own giant core to give them intelligence
