A Plan in Need of a Place

After a shower and a meal I was feeling much better. Turns out putting the Halfling in charge of the cook really had improved the food even if she couldn't do much but give instructions being more boob than woman at this point. I had the pieces of a plan, now it was time to put them together. To that end I went to my room to check up on the Arch-imago.

She was awake and had taken off the rest of her clothes, except for the oversized hat, so she stood mostly naked by the ex-queen seemingly fascinated by her swollen form. Noting my entry to the room she while prodding the expanse of light grey belly asked "What compounds did you use to get this effect? I know several for helping pregnant women with tight skin but the only thing I know that would allow for this much expansion would also render them a slime."

"I couldn't give you specifics, I generate the toxins I use myself, and the elastizising agents I make are temporary. Her present condition I created using Dark magic Body Modification spells."

"Strange, that doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would be useful in combat. I'd assumed the aphrodisiacs were your native poison given your seductive nature and that you'd laced your claws with the other beforehand."

I laughed "They both are, and more. I can generate a wide variety of poisons from simple aphrodisiacs to the really nasty one that changed them" I pointed to my onaholes "into their current form."

"Amazing. I'd have thought that was a curse not a poison effect, that's quite an extensive change. Too bad too, I was hoping to learn that spell from you." That lifted my eyebrows. "What? It's like nothing I've seen before, I want to study it not turn people into sex toys." That made more sense.

"Well maybe you can learn something like the Body Modification spells I use though they are Divine magic not Arcane like you use. I've been thinking of trying to create a temporary effect like it for mass pacification and easy transport of captives."

"Yes I can see how that could be really beneficial and I've managed to work up Arcane versions of Divine spells before. Though I have to ask, you said you were inflating her to keep from impregnating me before. Why?"

"Ah yes, well that's part of why I'm here. My next target is the Archbishop Elmeria and you are integral to my plan. I want you, for now, to remain unchanged and recognizable by her but eventually I absolutely do intend on knocking you up and giving you much larger tits for that matter."

She looked down at her chest, which was quite respectable by human standards being somewhere between a D or an E by my old world reckoning "What's wrong with their current size?"

I gestured at Amalica's breasts that were larger than her head and still clearly visible despite her engorged stomach "Obviously I like them larger. Don't worry though, I value your skills and experience so have no plan to make them big enough to be a hindrance. I'll probably make you taller as well in fact. Halicarnassus was originally even shorter than you are now before I got a hold of her. Much smaller breasts too."

"Ah yes, I thought that was her despite the changes. I was warned to not take chances and obliterate the whole area if I ever saw her but I had no chance. Very well, what do you need me to do about Elmeria?"

So I explained to her about the Archbishop's backstory and weaknesses and how I was working on putting them together for a plan that hinged on her confronting her friend over them. Citrinas was indeed very disappointed in her former friend, her words. Ironically not over the past she was so **** to hide, but in the fact she had slaughtered her own sisters to try to cover it up. Furthermore it turned out Citrinas had created a set of Runestones that allowed the Champions to communicate over long distances before they had separated so she could get a message to Elmeria leading her into a trap. So I had the bait, the hook, and the truth bomb to drop her into catatonia. I even had a certain blue haired Mage that could nuke Elmeria's immunity to status effects long enough to place my Mark, I just needed the place to put it all together.

Which of course is when I heard Gaia's voice in my head. "If you would go to your portal and think of our daughter Zeta and come to her Dungeon I think you'll find that this would be an excellent place to set a trap." Best. Girlfriend. Ever.
