End Chapter 3 Summary and Character Info – 3C-HH

Story Summary

The team all came together in the market and spent time purchasing supplies, including armor for Alanthea, and mounts for everyone but Ursa. Eventually Kaylen felt drawn to the **** auction, where Vesili urged him to purchase a teenage boy who was being sold to pay off a debt. They were interrupted by the boy’s sister, Dinnae, who ended up becoming Kaylen’s indentured servant in her brother’s stead after he interrogated her with a truth spell, which ended up affecting everyone in the room.

After introducing his new **** to the rest of the team, they made some final purchases that included armor and supplies for Danny, where Alanthea expressed her desire to learn the location of Dinnae’s **** mark. From there, they made their way out of the city, where Kaylen took stock of his team, and spoke with Ursa briefly, who apologized for getting upset over Kaylen purchasing Dinnae as a ****. Then, after examining the map, they set off along the road. They noticed a group of flying adventurers pass overhead towards a wyvern and a group of harpies in the distance, then stopped for a quick meal.

While they ate, Lyria sat with Kaylen and told him she approved of his decision to buy Danny in order to spare her or her brother from a worse master, but they were interrupted by Alayni, who made her interest in Kaylen known by sitting on his lap while they ate and talked.

The last leg of their journey **** them to ride in pairs through the narrow forest road, where Kaylen had a heart to heart discussion with Dinnae about his intentions towards her, only to have to cut the discussion short when Alayni noticed a disturbance ahead. Investigating the disturbance brought them into combat with an injured harpy, who disabled Kaylen with a siren song which proved ineffective against his all-female companions.

Vesili made her way under the tree canopy while cloaked in invisibility, and managed to tackle the harpy, injuring her side and allowing Ursa to knock it to the ground, ending the fight, after which Kaylen shackled the harpy, named Gryla, and interrogated her with his truth spell, extracting a vow to leave them and the nearby villagers alone in exchange for healing her injured wing.

They decided to look for a place to camp since it was getting dark, and Alayni spotted a cracked boulder a ways off the road, where Lyria and Vesili had Alanthea check them for injuries after they’d been tumbled in the harpy fight and Vesili’s side was injured, and then Lyria received a back massage while Kaylen was checking in with each of his companions in turn. Alayni suggested they double up for warmth and ended up sharing Kaylen’s bedroll. They snuggled together and made out while caressing each other over their clothes as they fell asleep. Kaylen woke with a stiff morning wood so Alayni gave him a quick blowjob after advising him that being respectful will only get him so far and being decisive can be alluring too.

Despite finding out that Ursa and the others had overheard their morning activities, they all took it in stride as the seven of them packed up and made their way to the village of Glenvale.

Important Characters

Kaylen Gallowglass

Kaylen is an 18 year old generalist red mage who recently gained the rank of adept and has been granted the opportunity to lead his own adventuring party. He has had difficulties in his life when it comes to romance, and that has led him to the idea of forming a party of mostly female teammates in the hope that becoming accustomed to working alongside someone like him will allow one or more of them to become a romantic prospect at some point in the future.

He’s already started developing an intimate relationship with Alayni, having spent the night sleeping alongside her after they made out and received a blow job from her the following morning.

Lyria Gallowglass

Kaylen’s sister, Lyria is a few years older than him, and a few inches shorter. She’s been training with a sword since before she was a teen, and now fights as an armored greatswordsman, and was the first to be recruited by Kaylen for his team.

She’s become the defacto second in command, and developed a rapport with most the team especially Dinnae and Alanthea whom she feels particularly protective over.

Ursa Cloudwalker

Ursa is a rare half-giant, standing 8’4” tall with a long build strong with muscle, at least compared with most smaller races. She carries a round shield and one-handed spear sized for her frame, and fights as a defensive shield bearer. She was the second to be recruited by Kaylen for his team.

Ursa initially protested the idea of Dinnae’s admission to the team, but settled down and even formally apologized for getting upset over it.

Alayni Swiftfoot

A curvy halfling with curly brown hair and dark brown eyes, Alayni isn’t a particularly imposing figure, but she stands out with confidence and bravado if nothing else. She was something of an unpopular pick among adventurers until Kaylen chose her, and she says she wants to travel and have new experiences. She seems to be willing to flirt and even engage in some amount of intimacy with Kaylen if necessary for her to remain on the team.

She has already expressed her interest in potential intimacy with Kaylen, having sat on his lap as they ate a quick lunch, shared his bedroll and made out when they made camp, and gave him a blowjob the following morning.

Vesili Tenorei

At under 5 feet tall, Vesili can easily pass as a teenager, until one notices the pale grey slightly bluish skin, tapered ears, and large violet eyes that reveal her dark elven heritage, though her black hair and the short length of her ears mark her as only a half elf. Despite being raised by her human mother, Vesili has been bullied and persecuted all her life, forcing her to learn to be sneaky and grow thick skin. She was very grateful to be chosen for Kaylen’s team since he seems to be willing to look past her heritage and give her a chance.

Vesili has grown somewhat protective of Dinnae since she feels responsible for urging Kaylen to purchase her (originally her brother).

Sister Alanthea

A tall slender woman with long blond hair and vibrant blue eyes, Alanthea can come across as cold, uncaring, even distracted. She has been interested in becoming an adventurer for quite some time, and is grateful to Kaylen for recruiting her, even though he didn’t really have many options. A disciple of Mortanius, god of ****, Alanthea may be a skilled healer, but she can also be a bit unsettling.

Alanthea tried to learn more about Dinnae’s status as a ****, particularly the location of her **** mark. She also is surprisingly eager to gain experience with medicine in the field.

Dinnae “Danny” Thatcher

Due to a fierce protectiveness of her younger brother, Danny offered herself to take his place as Kaylen’s indentured servant. She now uses her skills as a tanner to assist him and his team of adventurers. She has already begun forming attachments to Kaylen, his sister, and Vesili, who was instrumental in convincing Kaylen to buy her in place of her brother.

Gryla

A harpy the group encountered in the forest. After a brief scuffle, Kaylen extracted from her a vow to leave them and the villagers alone, and allowed Alanthea to heal her injured wing.

Gregory Thatcher

Danny’s younger brother, Gregory was caught stealing from a noble and ended up being sentenced to indentured servitude to pay off his debt, but after Vesili encouraged Kaylen to buy him to spare him from a worse master, Danny arrived and ended up becoming Kaylen’s **** in his place.

Dillon Thatcher

Gregory and Dinnae’s uncle, Kaylen met Dillon Thatcher when he escorted Gregory leave him with his relatives. Dillon tasked Kaylen with keeping his niece safe.

Breen Thatcher

Gregory and Dinnae’s aunt, Kaylen met Breen Thatcher when he escorted Gregory leave him with his relatives.

Rolph Ander

The owner and master armor smith at Ander’s Armory, Rolph fitted Alanthea and Dinnae for chainmail tunics.

Hali

Rolph Ander’s cousin who works as a tailor, and fitted Alanthea and Dinnae for the aketons they wear beneath their chainmail tunics.

Marian Ander

The daughter of the armorer, Rolph Ander, Marian works as the receptionist and as a craftsman at Ander’s Armory.

Garion Tilk

A **** master who owns the local **** auction, Garion negotiated with Kaylen over Gregory/Dinnae becoming his indentured servant, though he was left frustrated with the price Kaylen ended up paying for Dinnae.
