Who will brave the tower?
The Story So Far
Yulia entered the tower. She met a functionary named Alide and gained the offensive spell Icicle. She then saved a Goblin woman named Goma from a bunch of water tentacles. Goma revealed herself as an Alchemist and made some items for Yulia before leaving, returning to her home in the tower.
Yulia then fought the floor boss, a Skeleton with a sword and shield. Defeated him and began her trip to the second floor.
Yulia arrived on the second floor and met a man named Dreg. He had with him a wheel that could be spun for random bad or good results. Despite general misgivings, Yulia spun the wheel and received an item. She also learned from Dreg about the existence of floor monsters. Every floor from the second floor onward would have powerful monsters who wander around. Dreg offered his services, his mere presence would keep The Floor Monster from appearing in the rest area, but in return Yulia had to let him **** her in her sleep whenever she came to use the rest area to recover.
She left the rest area without coming to a decision and met Dahlia. Dahlia introduced herself as Alide's sister and offered her services. She offered any number of spells, weapons or items for the cost of awakening sexual fetishes in Yulia. Yulia used the service once gaining the bondage fetish and the utility spell unlock. She also fought and managed to defeat the floor monster, Sower, gaining a powerful Maul which she traded away for a golden rapier, a boar's head mask and a vial of old cum.
After killing a giant spider, Yulia then went and met a man who introduced himself as Ash and offered her some food. She took some and ganed a temporary buff, she refused the offer of more food and continued on. She found Alide and bought the repair spell. She then headed to the the floor boss fight. Floor two offered a choice of two paths, the angel path and the demon path. Yulia chose the angel path and had to fight an incubus. She beat him, but was effected with a lust curse that made her slowly grow more and more horny over time and then continued to the next floor.
The Third Floor had the appearance of a church and Yulia was told she needed to be cleansed via a whipping before going further. She agreed and was brutally whipped. The lust curse interacted negatively with the whipping, causing her to orgasm from the whipping and also causing her to develop a masochism fetish.
She continued further into the third floor. She found the rest area for this floor and Dreg who reiterated his offer. She agreed to it, needing to rest after the brutal whipping and Dreg proceeded to **** her as she slept off her injuries. Afterwards she encountered a room filled with smoke, inhaled the smoke as per instructions and fought a smoke version of herself. She beat it and was granted a boon. She chose to have her physical capabilities increased which brought her to normal physical strength and increased her health to 200%.
She then entered a room that was restricted to only female Virgins, which she was. Inside she met a bunch of nuns who told her that the floor boss was a being called the One True God and that she would have to either beat him or give him her virginity if she wanted to pass to the next floor. She also learned that all the nuns were former chosen who had given up and stayed to serve the One True god.
Afterwards she encountered the floor boss, a being called Cupid. She fought and defeated it earning a halo that she learned would revive her one time upon dying, a bow and arrows and another vial of cum. She finds an imprisoned figure who asks her to free him in return for various boons. She chooses not to, but she does find Alide.
She learns the vials of cum are some kind of key. Each Floor Boss has one and all 9 will unlock something on the last floor. Yulia also upgraded her Cure spell to Great Cure and traded the bow she got from Cupid for The Energize spell.
Yulia ran into an angel who informed her that she could only get access to the One True God's chambers if she wrestled her and won. She decided not to yet and went back to another room which had a large fire in it. The room had told her to prove her faith by passing through the fire, she did so and it revealed the way to the next floor, but she couldn't go to the next floor until she faced the One True God.
She goes back after and wrestles the angel. She wins when she accidentally removes the Angel's visor during the struggle, apparently activating a secret weakness the angels have. The Angel named Cherchiel loses her powers and declares her service to Yulia. Yulia accepts this and gains Cherchiel as a companion.
The two enter a room that claims to be restricted only to virgin men and Yulia is challenged by the priests inside the room. She fights the high priest, but loses and is **** to give him a blowjob. The event traumatizes her, but soon she moves on.
Yulia and Cherchiel decide to free the man in the cell and he explains that he's actually a test and tells them a trick to weaken the One True God and make the fight easier. Yulia and Cherchiel choose not to believe him and go to face the One True God.
Yulia decides to give her purity to the One True God in return for safe passage and is violated in all her holes. This traumatizes her even further, but she is now able to move on to the next floor.
She and Cherchiel ascend to Floor 4.
On Floor 4 they acquire a guide in the form of a small fairy woman named Muma who informed them that their choices would decide if she lived or died. It was also revealed that Dreg was not here and would potentially be gone from this point on if certain choices were made. Yulia, Cherchiel and Muma moved on. There are two paths to go, one that goes to a cave and one that goes to a forest. They headed to the forest and learned about Lantern Paths. Special areas where Yulia can find gathering points that she can use to find various materials used for crafting.
They then also learn about a creature called the Beast, it resides in a den surrounded by bones and it's existence on this floor has a corrupting effect on the inhabitants. The group of Yulia, Cherchiel and Muma also met some of those inhabitants. The elves who reside in the forest and also the floor boss, a massive troll like creature called Lumberer. They then found the elf city of Faidhalm, found a blacksmith who is an ex-chosen and desires access to metal which cannot be found in the forest. They also found Alide residing in the city, but bought nothing from her yet.
They ran into a corrupted elf who tried to threaten them into sex, but they defeated him and handed him over to the elves for punishment. In return for more information about the corruption, Yulia gave the corrupted elf a hand job, but they didn't learn much of use.
They find the exit to the next floor, into the deep woods and it's guarded by a carnivorous plant woman. Yulia was horrified as the plant woman explained that if Yulia failed to beat her in combat, the plant woman would eat her, ending her journey with her ****. They then went into the caves where they had been informed the goblins lived. They meet the goblins and find Goma is here and a fight with the goblins is avoided. They learn specifically that there is a creature in the darkness that protects the goblins from Lumberer, but in return the goblins sacrifice themselves and intruders to the creature. They also get metal for the blacksmith and meet the Queen of the Goblins, a woman named Magritte who guards another exit from the floor. Into the deep caverns. She revealed that a fight with her would be much less dangerous than the fight with the plant woman.
Yulia and crew also run into Dahlia who is apparently providing the goblins with sex toys in order to help them deal with the corruption. She explained a little bit about the theology of the tower. There's three towers all contained within the tower known as The Tower, The Tower Above and The Tower Below. Apparently the Tower Below, which was described as The Tower's version of Hell as opposed to the Tower Above which is basically Tower Heaven, has some influence on this floor. Cherchiel surmised the Beast therefore may be a demonic creature, but this was not confirmed. Dahlia offered her services and also offered Yulia a free strap-on, neither her services or the strap on have been taken as of yet.
The group then went and delivered the metal to the blacksmith who has explained to them that he can make them a number of items for different amounts of metal. The crew have 10 steel ingots and the options given were simple weapon for 1, better weapon for 2, best weapon for 3, reinforced outfit for 4, chainmail for 6 and full plate armor for 8.
After some confusion from the voices, it was better detailed that simple, better and best were simply referring to quality and any type of weapon, within reason of course, could be made at any stage of weapon and that this did indeed include defensive weapons like shields, also that Yulia was probably too weak to properly use Chain or Plate mail, but Cherchiel could probably wear chainmail. Yulia has also reluctantly agreed not to get the strap on for the moment.
The decision was made to get the best shield and spear for Cherchiel as well as reinforcing her body suit. After this was done the group went and got the pervert elf and brought him to go deal with the Beast. When they arrived all of them seemed to become dazed and fallen for some sort of illusion.
The voices managed to free Yulia et al from the illusion and before them the Beast was revealed as it devoured the elf. It then also revealed itself to actually be Ash whom Yulia had previously met, who now revealed that they are in fact, Duke/Duchess, Ash Medai of the Tower Below, Archdemon/ess of Lust. They offered in lieu of fighting that instead they would leave the forest forever if Yulia either gave up one of her companions or offered herself. The Archdemon promised that Yulia would not be killed if she offered herself up, but Cherchiel and Muma would be killed if they were offered up. The Archdemon also stated that if they fought and the Archdemon won. They would kill Yulia and all her companions. Cherchiel stated that if Yulia accepts any of these proposals she would not forgive her.
The fight commenced. Ash summoned a dangerous ice storm that hampered the groups attempts to fight, but a risky maneuver by Cherchiel along with some well timed spells from Yulia won them the fight, or so it seemed. After being seemingly fatally stabbed by Cherchiel's spear, Ash took his true monstrous demonic form and easily took Cherchiel out of the fight. Yulia was similarly quickly beaten down, but Muma saved the day at the cost of her own life and allowed Yulia to kill Ash once and for all.
Yulia and Cherchiel buried Muma and were offered a gift of one of three objects by the elves and then were informed by Alide that Yulia had been marked by The Tower Below and that demonic influence would be present in her journey from now on and that Demonic objects and spells would be offered to her, each of which would be incredibly powerful, but come at a great price and Alide offered to take these objects off of her hands in return for extra uses of her services at the cost of giving up the great rewards the demonic objects and spells offered.
Yulia decided to turn in the bow and got a runed dagger in return, she also got a new support spell, "Undermine" and got the hunting horn from the elves. She then went and got the strap on from Dahlia and Goma became officially her companion when she went to see the Goblin Queen
Goma informed them what kind of things she could make with her alchemy and the ingredients they had collected, The queen informed them that her path led to the deep caves where they would find Drow and Driders, Flora's path went to the deep forest where they would find Fairies and Dahlia informed them that the mark would cause them lots of demonic trouble and suggested making use of the powers of the dark side. Yulia bought a support spell for her and had her lesbian fetish "awakened" the spell in question ended up being heal which Yulia could use to upgrade her healing again or she could give it to Cherchiel so Cherchiel has a spell.
In the end the spell along with the Runed Dagger and Hunting Horn were given to Goma, Goma also made a grenade and identified the mysterious vial of liquid Yulia had been carrying since floor 1. It was identified as a strong aerosolizing aphrodisiac poison that would quickly fill a room with aphrodisiac gas if the liquid was exposed to air. After that the three all took a rest with alternating watch and after all were finished resting, they were ready to go try and find and kill Lumberer.
The three women went to the hunting grounds to wait for Lumberer. They talked a bit about themselves and then Lumberer arrived. The fight started and didn't go well at first with Lumberer shaking off most of their attacks, however eventually they did overwhelm him and manage to take him down. With Lumberer defeated there's only two more things to take care of on this floor.
After a short rest in which Goma mastered healing and afterwards Cherchiel and Yulia had a bit of fun. They then went and talked to the blacksmith, before returning to Queen Magritte and finally going to speak to Dreg, the thing in the dark, who revealed that he was upset that Muma had been killed... because he was hoping to get to eat her alive. This revelation along with the revelation that he had been the one who had killed many of the previous fairy guides including Muma's sister, drove Yulia to almost attack him immediately, but Cherchiel has momentarily held her back as Dreg proceeded to try and antagonize her.
Despite everything, the choice was made to not try and kill Dreg, much to Yulia's disappointment, but still Dreg left and it seems like the Goblin's might be safe from now on as Goma decided to try and rouse the Goblins into defending themselves in the future so they never have to rely on Dreg again, now all that's left is to decide whether to head towards the Deep Forest or the Deep Caves.
The consensus seems to be that taking the safer path of fighting Queen Magritte and proceeding to the Deep Caves would be better. Queen Magritte explained that the fight would be simple and would end as soon as one side surrendered or was unable to fight, she also strangely hinted that if they won they'd be able to do... whatever they wanted to her and also hinted that if they lost she'd be obligated to... punish them.
The fight commenced and Queen Magritte summoned the Royal Goblin Guards to protect her, but it wasn't enough. She was pinned down and tickled into submission. Afterwards Boarchiel had her way with Queen Magritte. During this Yulia learned that Queen Magritte was actually a Goblin Chosen from another world, hence why she seemed so different from the other Goblins. After their fun was over, Magritte summoned a mine elevator that would take them down into the Deep Caves. The group boarded the elevator and are descending now to the fifth floor.
After some questions and answers and relaxation on the elevator, they arrived at the fifth floor where they met a Dark Elf named Nylax who greeted them and then revealed that she was in fact a Drider before lighting up a path for them and wishing them well.
Nylax answered a few questions, explaining that Driders are a side effect of the Drow who live in the Deep's past connection with the Tower Below, but was adamant that that was all in the past and Yulia didn't have to worry about it, also revealing that she and other creature's touched by the Tower Below can see Yulia as a beacon of twisted light. She also explained that various races live in the Deep, including Drow, Driders, Dwarves, Mindflayers and The Knocker who is in fact the Floor Monster. She also informed them that the path she lit for them would lead them to a city in the deep called Aresque.
The gang went to Aresque and found it to be a large city, they also met Dreg again and found various points of interest to check out.
They found that Goma and The Blacksmith, named Martin, had been given shops and they visited them and learned they had some ingredients stocked so they could do some more blacksmithing and Alchemy, they then went to the museum and learned the history of the Drow.
They got an incendiary grenade from Goma and then returned to the museum and learned about the other races that live in the Deep, the Tower Above and Below and lastly the various flora and fauna of the deep.
Yulia, Cherchiel and Goma headed to the trading post, Auction house and Sex Shop and learned about how the economy of the Deep works.
The group went to the trading post again and checked out the wares, as well as picked up some sidequests. They then headed to the Dwarf Tunnels where they found a hotspring and rest area and a bunch of Dwarves fooling around in said hotspring, also a resource collection area.
The group found some more alchemical and cooking ingredients in the resource collection area and then entered Dwarf Hold Proper. They had a run in with the local bureaucracy and learned that they were allowed to use the mines as much as they wanted.
Yulia visits the Dwarf blacksmith and learns about the various special ores that exist in the Tower, she then goes to the tavern and overhears some interesting gossip before learning the bartender is Dahlia.
Choosing not to make use of Dahlia's services, the party headed back to the rest area, had a nice rest then made use of the hot spring. After that they headed to the mines and found a lantern lit path with a mining minigame seemingly set up.
They played the minigame, won some very rare materials, got some materials and then exploded. They survived, but in pretty bad shape and had to go recover at the rest area.
Afterwards they headed to Crater Under, met Crater guide Li and descended down into the crater where they were quickly assailed by a golem.
They defeated the Golem and continued down into the crater where Li was somehow waiting for them. Li did not seem able to adequately explain how they got down there before them and moved on, explaining about the object that crashed into the Deep and created Crater Under and about the two discovered pieces of the object's shell. Coldrock and Illustone.
Deciding they can't get the Coldrock for the moment they retreat back to Aresque, but on the way back they are stopped by the sudden appearance of Knocker who is harassing the Dwarf Miners.
Knocker is killed in a surprisingly easy fight and then the group rests and heads back to Aresque.
In Aresque they find out what Goma can make and Martin begs them to let him work with the materials they got. They then examine the cathedral, theatre and Strip Club, where they find Alide... working as a serving girl!
Alide seems to really enjoy working in menial jobs, also the group got some mana potions, reinforced their armour and used the nethicite, before returning to Alide and getting the life drain spell.
Yulia traded the old oak log for a new staff and borrowed some tools to get the cold rock.
The group had a foursome with a Drider Lady named Liax and Yulia got to engage in her bondage kink.
After the foursome the group got a spidersilk gown from Liax and then went and got some Coldrock, unintentionally giving Li a show in the process, they returned the Coldrock as well as the borrowed gear to the Dwarf trader who had asked for it and are now deciding whether they want his Iron, Steel or Silver.
They learned that Martin can make throwing knives or darts out of silver and presumably other materials as well. They then headed to the Dream Path and were immediately beset by mental attacks that made it difficult for them to think and they also met their first Mindflayer who has pretty much immediately dominated Yulia mentally.
They talked with the Mind Flayer who explained he would grant them passage, but that the area was dangerous and he would protect them if they let him devour one of their memories. They managed to resist the temptation to immediately say yes, just barely and left for the moment to gather their wits. They got the silver from the Dwarf and had some of it made into throwing knives. They are now contemplating how to handle their return to the dream path.
The group decided not to return to the dream path just yet and decided instead to explore the Wild Deep. Upon entering Cherchiel almost immediately stepped in a bear trap. then a scream for help made Yulia rush in blindly and Cherchiel stopped her from being pinned by a giant slug, only to be pinned instead while more giant slugs closed in.
Yulia and Goma managed to kill all the slugs and saved Cherchiel and the Drow woman who revealed her name was Isalia and she was in charge of removing traps Knocker left behind specifically to try and catch Yulia.
They returned to Aresque to get Isalia some clothes since hers had been destroyed by the slugs, after that they headed to Air Fortis where Isalia immediately made herself useful, by disarming a trap in the darkness. The Darkness also being the home of a swarm of Giant Carnivorous Bats which Isalia informed them would remain mostly calm as long as they were quiet and didn't illuminate the area. They also spotted a lantern, signaling a gathering point, deeper into the area.
They arrived at the lantern without issue, went inside to find a bunch of herbs which Goma began to gather as Yulia and Isalia talked about her and learned her backstory. With the gathering done they exited and were immediately attacked by Bats.
They defeated the bats and got some leather before retreating from Air Fortis back into the Wild Deep entrance area. Isalia asked about joining and was told they'd welcome her. Isalia decided she isn't quite ready to make that decision yet.
The group returned to Aresque and rested and are making decisions on what to do now.
The group bought the black leather armor and gave it to Isalia, got 4 mana potions, 2 grenades and an adrenaline and then headed back to Air Fortis to try and farm more Leather Wings.
Their plan was to lure the Leather Wings by sending Yulia on her own, however the Leather Wings were smarter and attacked Isalia and the others to distract them before they went after Yulia, splitting up the team.
In the ensuing fight Yulia managed to get to her friends. Goma, Isalia and Cherchiel managed to survive their fight.. The other Leather Wings have been riled by the battle and are preparing to attack. There are far too many of them and they'll need to retreat or fight all the remaining Leather Wings.
They decide to retreat and return to Aresque to rest. While resting Goma opens up to Isalia about her growing fear of dying in combat. Isalia tries to reassure her and eventually it results in the two making out and eventually Isalia eating Goma out before Cherchiel and Yulia wake back up and the group tries to decide where to go next.
They headed to Aqua Regis and Isalia got them some spidersilk rope. In Aqua Regis they found a possible lantern and some special plants that were requested by the sex shop owner. They also learned that one of the three stone bridges used to traverse the waterways had been booby trapped by Knocker leaving only two pathways through the watery pathways of Aqua Regis.
The knowledge the party had gained at the museum allowed them to pass with relative ease through the pathways of Aqua Regis and they reached a lantern and gathered some rubber plants. They also saw a second lantern in the water, but collectively decided that's probably a trap.
The group entered the lantern tunnel and got some fish. They then went back to Aresque and talked to the Explorer's about the Mind Eaters learning some interesting stuff. Yulia then got invited to spend some time hanging out and partying with the Explorers.
The group decided against partying and also asked about the mist, but got strange unhelpful answers. They finalized a plan to head into the Dream again.
The group realized none of them could cook and then tied themselves together and headed into the dream where they met the newly named Mindflayer, Lem.
The group negotiated with Lem, Nothing else of note happened.
Yulia got the stone. Her friends are back in town. The Goblin is safe.
Yulia **** Lem to take her to Goma and was indeed taken to Goma who was currently being fed on by a Mindflayer, two more Mindflayers appeared and Lem revealed that this was an Ambush. Yulia now has to fight two Mindflayers by herself and save Goma from a third.
Yulia used the demonic spellbook she got from Ash Medai and gains the powerful Blizzard Spell which helps her defeat the Mind Flayers. Unfortunately using the spell curses her with Atrophy, making her physically weak once again and undoing the benefits she got from the third floor Smoke room. However, Goma is safe now and Yulia was reunited with Cherchiel and Isalia at the entrance back to Aresque.
The Women returned to Isalia's house for a rest and then had a small talk about what happened to each of them and they also cut themselves to try and test to see if any of them were a Mimic. The results were seemingly negative.
Isalia's feelings were hurt and so she stayed behind as the rest went to the auction and won the spellbook, giving up the Curing Stone in the process. After which they were contacted by one of the other bidders at the auction who wishes to make an offer to Yulia for the book.
The woman is revealed to in fact be Liloth, Mother of Webs and she tells a story of betrayal, implying that Yulia and The Drow and Drider race as a whole are being manipulated. She offers an angelic spellbook containing the spell "Divine Grace" in return for Puppet.
The group makes the trade and Cherchiel uses the spellbook regaining her divine grace, her super strength returned.
The group spend some time letting Yulia Master Blizzard and Life Drain then head to the Alveare, intent on making their way to Monarch's Throne and finishing off this floor.
Their passage through The Alveare did not go well. All four were captured and impregnated by spiders, luckily Cherchiel was able to save them and get them back out of The Alveare and to rest at Isalia's house.
The group woke up and there was a spirited argument between Cherchiel and Yulia, after which the group split up to talk to various people, Isalia went to ask the explorers if they knew how to deal with the eggs, Goma went to ask Liax the same question and Yulia and Cherchiel went to ask Liloth if she knew how to deal with the spiders.
The women decided to go with Liax's method of dealing with the eggs which was to lay them prematurely. The result was a harrowing ordeal for the women after which they headed into the Dream again and spoke to Lem.
Lem said some cryptic stuff and then led them to the path of Ascension where it was learned that Isalia and Cherchiel were indeed mimics, but apparently had not been aware of that, upon being revealed they transformed into their true forms and attacked, also it seems that many of the explorers are also secretly mimics.
Goma and Yulia made quick work of the Mimics and then rescued Cherchiel and Isalia, but they haven't yet woken up. The two try to decide what to do about all the other captive people.
Yulia and Goma got Cherchiel and Isalia back to Aresque where they... "rested" until Cherchiel and Isalia woke up.
With the true threat of the mindflayers made clear, the group finished recovering before deciding to head back into the path of ascension to rescue as many as they could. They were stopped by Lem who informed them that he would be **** to stop them if they tried to continue.
The fight against Lem and the Mindflayers went poorly. Cherchiel's use of the boar mask made her susceptible to mind control and the Mindflayer's being assisted by an energized, Divine Grace, Boarchiel was too much for the party to overcome. Goma was **** by Boarchiel who was also gifted a temporary penis to let her properly breed Goma and Yulia was ****, physically, emotionally and mentally by a mindflayer, but was saved from being completely devoured mentally.
Yulia went to visit the Old Mind and learned that in fact The Old Mind is a previous Chosen who died and was gifted the ability to continue on in a state between life and ****, the dream being created by him, in his dead, but dreaming state. Seeking to fulfill his goal. It was also revealed that the gift Yulia was supposed to bring was Puppet and he was outraged when he realized she didn't have it. Threatening to kill everyone in Aresque, via the mimics already planted there if she didn't find a way to get it for him.
The group went to visit Liloth at which point they learned from her that there is apparently a weapon that works to negate the effects of the Old Mind and the Mindflayers, she also revealed that during Cherchiel's mind controlled **** of Goma she had actually managed to impregnate her, due to the power of the Dream and the Boar Mask's effects.
The group is pretty distraught at the news, but they focus on the moment and head to Dwarfhold to learn what they can about this weapon.
The group figure out with the help of the Voices that the weapon is in fact Illustone. They head to Crater Under to acquire some, but learn that Crater Guide Li is in fact an Imp working for one of the Archdemons who has a grudge against Liloth. Li's boss unknown at current is trying to prevent the group from stopping the Mindflayers, intent on letting the Mindflayers destroy the Drow in order to spite Liloth. Yulia and the group have to defeat Li if they want to get any Illustone.
The fight was pretty easy and came down to attrition. The group hid in the Illustone tunnel while letting the blizzard, slowly wear down their opponent, eventually causing Li to succumb and die from injuries sustained from the raging storm. With that the group has recovered some Illustone.
With the Illustone recovered the group went to Martin to acquire more silver throwing knives and then to Liloth who told them she believed the archdemon responsible was one known as Levateinn and that she would reward them once they killed the Old Mind.
The group got some alchemical ingredients from Liloth and used them to make more Mana Potions and then went to face the Old Mind, what they found was that the dream was much less grand than it seemed. A simple small cavern containing all the **** townspeople, a pit and the decrepit corpse of the Old Mind sat in a chair. Upon realizing they had Illustone with them, the Old Mind challenged them to a fight to the ****, claiming he intended to take them down with him and revealed that he seems to still have some magical ability even if his psionic attacks are neutralized by the Illustone.
The group easily defeat and destroy an immobile dead body, finding a tarnished silver ring in the remains. They then returned to Aresque to learn all the mimics had suddenly vanished causing a panic. They informed everyone what happened and set about organizing people to go and bring out the remaining **** people. After that they went to Liloth who for their help gifted them, presumably, Puppet and informed them she would still be waiting for them when they wanted to continue forward past the Alveare. The group then went to rest as they decided if there was anything left for them to do on this floor or if they should move on.
Deciding there wasn't anything left to do and that starting an uprising against Dreg was unlikely the group had Liloth help them through the Alveare and arrived at the Monarch's throne where they can indeed see the stairs to the next floor waiting for them behind a gate locked with a rusted lock and between them and the gate, the massive sleeping form of Monarch, a behemoth Millipede.
The group decided to bypass Monarch and simply sneak around and use the magical spell unlock on the gate. This worked, but before they could ascend to the next floor, a portal appeared and the group was **** into it and now they're heading for a very different floor than they might have expected as The Abyss awaits.
The group arrived on floor six, The Tower Below or at least part of it. There they met Martin and Dreg and took a rest, in preparation for dealing with whatever awaits them on this floor.
Examining some statues representing the ten Archdemons the group was informed that there are two Archdemons active on this floor. Levateinn and the Demon of Gifts. They then went forward and found three doors leading further into the floor. One of them surprisingly seeming to be angelic in nature despite everything else being clearly demonic.
Inside the group finds an angelic bath house and an angel claiming to be sent by the One True God to help Yulia. She reminded Yulia that she had made a pact with the One True God and the God was attempting to honor this pact by sending this angel to help Yulia while she's trapped in the Tower Below, she offered some items for Yulia to choose from.
In a bid for trust, the angel Lemiel explained the nature of the Tower Above floor that Yulia had visited which had the unfortunate side effect of traumatizing Cherchiel by revealing that her existence was falsified and everything she had believed was a fabrication in order to make her perform as part of a test for Chosen. Yulia took a spellbook and left intending to comfort Cherchiel and also feeling spiteful towards Lemiel she suggested the use of a secret weakness of angels she had learned about during her initial meeting with Cherchiel.
Deciding against potentially screwing over Lemiel the group moves on through the straight door and on the other side found a memorial for Ash Medai, depicting the moment of him killing Muma, complete with a figure of Muma and Yulia. The memorial brought forth strong emotions in the women and it took a bit for them to calm down. Now **** to decide where to go from here. There are two doors helpfully labeled, one saying "Eternal Reward" and the other saying "For yulia"
The voices suggested a retreat, but there was also a suggestion to break the statue which resulted in triggering a trap that kidnapped Cherchiel. A demoness taunted Yulia and the others showing that she had Cherchiel now and told them that she waited ahead through the "For Yulia" door. Yulia wanted to go immediately to rescue Cherchiel, but Isalia and Goma advised caution.
The group decided to use God's Light on Yulia, but aside from making Yulia glow very slightly and according to Goma to become slightly warmer, they aren't clear on what it did exactly. Still they continued through the door labeled "For Yulia" and on the other side they found a kinky dress on a mannequin and a caprine demon male. they were informed by the same demoness that the outfit was made for Yulia and that if she wanted to continue forward she should wear it, but the demoness also made it clear that she could of course just kill the Caprine Demon and continue forward without taking the dress. During this conversation Cherchiel was in view and seemingly being **** to give a blowjob to someone just off screen.
Yulia and the others decided against the dress and used Unlock to simply bypass the room, however doing so revealed the next room is simply a gauntlet of demons who offer free passage for the wearer of the dress or offer to let them pass if they pay with their bodies.
Yulia and the others decide to fight at which point many of the demons flee, apparently scared to fight Yulia. Afterwards they make short work of the remaining demons and head onwards arriving at the throne room where Cherchiel is being held and Levateinn is waiting. Once there Levateinn reveals this isn't her throne room, but the throne once belonging to Ash and that The Abyss wants Yulia to become the new Archdemon of Lust.
After this reveal, the group struggle to process what to do next. Cherchiel is given temporary armor and weaponry in the form of the spidersilk gown and a bone spear and Goma learns puppet, but gains the atrophy curse in return. The group decide to take the demonic dress, just in case, but don't wear it.
Goma tested out various aspects of Puppet by having Cherchiel spank Yulia and Isalia do jumping jacks and then a one handed handstand. After that they rested and went through the hallway right door and found a strange scene before heading through another door and encountering Alide.
Alide identified the tarnished silver ring as a Ring of Clear Mind, a spellcaster ring that also protects the wearer from mental attacks. She also identified various enchantments on the demonic dress, many positive and a few... sexy negative effects. She also offered a random item as trade for the Illustone and explained that they had at best explored about half of this floor.
No trades were made, but they did get an offensive spell from Alide which ended up being the lightning strike spell. After which Alide began to inform the group about Harvester before Harvester coincidentally made an appearance.
The fight with the Harvester was rough, but the group triumphed and were rewarded with another vial of semen, a demon horn headband and the Harvester's gauntlets.
The group learned some new information from Alide, had it confirmed that of course Dahlia is on this floor and had the effects of the items they got from The Harvester explained. After which they headed forward into the Demon of Gifts' domain. The first room of which turned out to be a factory floor where a number of imps were working on putting final touches on various items being sent through the room on organic conveyor belts.
The next room held a demon blacksmith who appears to be the one making the demonic objects. He informed the group that he would be willing to forge weapons and armor for them in return for sexual favours and he could enchant their current weapons and armor, but in return one of them would have to be sacrificed to the forge which would be the permanent **** of a party member. Halo or other revival methods still applicable. Past him are doors engraved with the legends, "Pain" and "pleasure" respectively.
After a unanimous decision to not take any of the blacksmiths offers, the group went forward into the pleasure room upon entering which they found themselves locked in. It appeared they would have to pleasure themselves with one of two offered toys in the room in order to make the doors open. It also appeared that magic did not work in the room.
Isalia rode the dildo and successfully reached orgasm, opening the path forward and back. However the dildo shot something into her and she's now quite concerned about that. The group continued to the next area and found a waiting room with a bunch of demons in it and a dark ominous stairway as well as a door presumably based on the symbol, leading to Dahlia.
The group spoke to a demon who informed them the demons were all waiting for an audience with the Archdemon of Gifts and also explained a bit about demonic hierarchy. After that they went to see Dahlia and learned that Dahlia is in fact the Archdemon of Gifts and that the ominous stairway leads down to the Abyss.
The group learned a bit more about Archdemons and weirdly enough Alide before getting the Unlock spell again, however paying for the spell had an unexpected side effect. Dahlia **** Yulia to confront her wavering religious faith and it finally broke completely, imbuing Yulia with a nearly unique status effect as well as giving her a new fetish.
Yulia upgraded unlock and they passed back through the pleasure chamber with Goma orgasming to let them pass through. They rested at which point it became clear that Isalia was indeed impregnated by the dildo earlier and her pregnancy is progressing at a terrifyingly accelerated rate. With the morale of the group now in tatters completely they head on and enter the "eternal Reward" room where they are first informed that Muma's grave in the forest had been dug up and her body exhumed and then they were confronted with the reanimated corpse of Muma who attacked them mindlessly.
Dealing with Zombie Muma ended up being very simple, but now the question is what to do with her body. The group returned to Lemiel with Cherchiel carrying Muma's body at which point they also learned Isalia is dying from a parasite growing in her womb and Lemiel offered them some options for dealing with it. So, the question is now, which option should they take and what to do with Muma's body?
The parasite was dealt with, though Isalia is now recovering from surgery. Lemiel has agreed to bury Muma's body somewhere it won't be defiled again and has offered to let them rest in the bathhouse and Goma has assured everyone that she will likely not be going into labour soon.
The group rested and made some use of the bath, but the mood soured when Lemiel made an offer to Yulia on behalf of The One True God. The offer was angelic boons on each floor and in return Yulia would become the official High Priestess of The One True God. After they were all rested and Isalia had recovered sufficiently they traveled to Levateinn and arrived at a very unwelcoming beach and were promptly attacked by crab people.
They dealt with the crab people and took a boat underwater to Levateinn's throne where she informed Yulia that if Yulia wanted to fight she'd be up for it, but that she would kill all of Yulia's friends if she lost.
The group decided against fighting, which surprisingly seems to have hurt Levateinn more than fighting her could have. In her rage and anguish she returned Cherchiel's equipment and the group hastily retreated leaving her to wallow in her anguish with her snakes. Upon returning to the surface Cherchiel put back on her equipment and they spoke with Lemiel who informed them there wasn't much she could do to help them with the Abyss, but she offered to accompany them, which Cherchiel asserted was in fact an offer to sacrifice her life in the vague hope of being useful.
Sufficiently prepared the group traveled back through the floor to the Abyss, on the way multiple demonic entities showed interest in Lemiel, noting that she was not considered under the same protection as Yulia and the rest of her allies. Though none took advantage of this since attacking Lemiel would likely trigger a fight with Yulia and none of them wanted to risk hurting Yulia. At least until the group arrived at the stairs to the Abyss where Dahlia appeared and informed them she couldn't let them go meet the Abyss with Lemiel and asked Yulia to hand Lemiel over or she'd be **** to have her supplicants take Lemiel by ****.
Defeating the supplicants wasn't very difficult and afterwards Dahlia simply let them go, declaring she had done everything she could to try and stop them. They headed down to meet the Abyss and he requested Yulia's answer to the deal, but added that if they didn't take the deal he would do terrible things to them, flashing each of them a vision of a future of sexual torment for each of them, Lemiel excluded.
Yulia rejects the deal and The Abyss makes another deal, offering instead for Yulia to sacrifice one of her current allies to become the Archdemon instead and in return he'd let the rest of them pass without ****. Lemiel then made her offer to sacrifice herself to let them pass without **** or accepting any of his deals. The abyss then made one final offer, directly calling out one of the Voices on a plan they had to try and make Lemiel a proper ally, reminding him that she might be more useful than some of the current allies and that if they let Lemiel sacrifice herself that plan becomes impossible. He also called out Yulia's submissiveness to the voices which might potentially have consequences in the future.
The deal has been restated to ensure no possible misinterpretation. All except one who is not present, have made their thoughts on their possible sacrifice known. The time has come, a choice must be made.
Yulia and the rest chose to fight. Making this choice they learned that The Abyss cannot in fact be fought. Lacking any form to attack or harm. The Abyss attacked with manifested tentacles, hands and other body parts while also using various passive and active abilities against the group. The group struggle to survive the onslaught and realize they need to simply flee to the stairs, as it's the only way they can survive this conflict. After a harrowing fight with many close calls, they make it, each of them worse for wear, but surprisingly all alive.
Lemiel learned what Gambio's plan for her was and was very much not happy about it. The group arrived on the next floor, Calumia. At which point the effect of the Tower's magic disappeared and everyone collapsed. Survival made possible, surprisingly, by Dreg who, while taking advantage of this chance to grope Yulia, **** her to down a poison antidote with a kiss. At which point she woke up, cured and healed everyone else, except Lemiel. Lemiel who was unable to flee back to the Tower Above due to the status effect restricting her powers is stuck here, at Yulia's mercy. Will Yulia follow Gambio's plan or not?
Yulia decided not to go through with it, but angrily chased off Lemiel when Lemiel tried to defend accusations made against the One True God. After that Dreg explained some of the special aspects of Calumia, including that it's essentially two floors in one, the above water and below water floor and Yulia and her group would need some way to breathe underwater. After that they took a rest, without sending Dreg away which resulted in Dreg taking his payment. With that done, however the group is now ready to move on and tackle this new floor.
The group heads over the bridge and find a small island on the other side with a shack, holding various swim wear and each of the women changed out their equipment for a swimsuit before focusing on where to go next. Their options being an above the waves portion of an underwater ruin, another island with something colourful on it and an island that is raised higher than the others, the top of which is difficult to view.
After having their choice of swimsuit scrutinized, the four women journeyed up to the raised island only to learn it was actually essentially a raised edge of a pit. Isalia's careless comment echoed into the pit and awakened a bunch of predatory seagulls nesting within the pit, who emerged and seemed eager to try out this sudden new prey.
The group easily dispatched the birds and then entered the pit finding a bird's nest inside with a few goodies stashed away. They took them and then returned to the previous island to find another way forward.
Deciding to head to the colourful island they found it was actually part of a large reef, they also found a path forward via a narrow path of land, a lantern and a naked fish man who showed up and proceeded to immediately ignore them in favour of searching for something in the reef.
The group witnessed him take a shell from the reef before he noticed them and became immediately hostile, questioning them on the shells, on who and what Yulia was and deciding, despite Yulia's lies to the contrary, that they had shells and they should give them to him. He was about to attack them for their shells when he was interrupted by the arrival of the wandering floor monster The Kraken which caused him to flee as the group was left to deal with the monster.
The group learned they could not target the tentacles with spells like Undermine and so decided to flee for now and returned to the swimsuit island to find the naked fish man trashing the shop while looking for Shells.
They used puppet on him to interrogate him and learned that the shells were currency that could be traded for weapons somewhere. They also learned that something called the Clam could help them breathe underwater, as well as someone called the priestess of the deep. They also learned the Sahuagin are primarily warriors, mermaids primarily mages and Sirens tend to prefer ambushes and sneak attacks.
After interrogating the sahuagin they sent him away and continued forward. Trying to pass over the thin path of land they spotted and uncovered a snare trap upon which a group of Sirens have appeared and threatened the group, demanding they hand over any shells they have.
The group successfully intimidated the Sirens and interrogated them, learning more about the use of the shells and a mysterious weapon dealer who is trading the shells for powerful weapons. They also got confirmation about the Clam and the Priestess of the Deep being potentially able to help them breathe underwater. After that Goma used puppet to make one of the Sirens strip, embarrassing her in the process and the group stole her swimsuit.
They interrogated her a bit further and during this, a member of her group went rogue and decided to take advantage of her current **** state. Yulia released her before it went too far and the Siren was able to save herself and punish the rogue before leaving. They also learned that they were on the right path to reach the priestess and the clam, that the weapon dealer had shown up about a month ago and that they are effectively rich with shells, having about 10 times as much as most people in Calumia can hope to see.
The group found Alide on a houseboat and had a nice talk with her. They confirmed some information they already had and learned a little bit of new information as well as had Alide confirm what Dahlia said about Alide becoming an enemy at some point, though she also urged Yulia not to worry too much about it and that when it did happen she'd hold no grudge. After that she then questioned whether they had anything else to talk about or if they were ready to use her services.
Yulia received the identify spell and Goma had her mana healed. They were informed that Kraken was waiting for them to get off the boat and decided they should make sure they were prepared before doing so.
Yulia tried out the identify spell on Alide and didn't learn much of importance, but upon using the identify spell on the ring of Clear Mind they learned that it was made by Dahlia and the secondary enchantments were added by Levateinn. Additionally there was something about it being usable to bind angels or demons. They left Alide's boat and were immediately attacked by the Kraken. They failed to use identify on the tentacles and also failed to run away before a tentacle managed to grab Isalia, forcing the group now to choose between trying to fight and save Isalia, or sacrificing herself to ensure their own survival.
The group of course chose to save Isalia and after a difficult fight they managed in beating back the Kraken, though it seemed the Kraken had a special effect which left many of the group in a state. Yulia managed to fix the groups status effect, but not before some **** sexual interaction that left all butt Yulia fairly exhausted and in need of rest.
The group rested and Yulia took the time to fool around with the Identify spell, learning some fun new effects of items they had and a few previously unknown last names and epithets of her party members, before also learning something unknown about herself. She learned that she had actually died during her birth and been revived by Erimalia, technically making her undead and a victim of the plague ravaging her world.
Putting this revelation aside for now, Yulia et al headed to the wavecrash shore where they found an infinite storm and an old, broken down statue of Levateinn. They also noticed a figure crouched in the waves singing a sad song and are currently deciding whether to interact with this person. Goma meanwhile is starting to visibly show signs of her pregnancy.
Talking to the person they learned that Levateinn had once been the beloved queen of Calumia, before her ambitions drove her to destroy her own queendom, splintering it and eventually drove her to become an Archdemon which resulted in her being exiled from Calumia forever.
The group headed to the Path of the Wanderer, hearing from the person on the beach that the Priestess of the Deep and the Clam are past there, but as they tried to cross they were again attacked by the Kraken who bars their way.
They retreated from the Kraken, but on returning to the Tidepool island they found a bunch of angry Sahuagin waiting. The one they had interrogated earlier had apparently gone off and grabbed some friends to try and rob the group of their shells again.
The group easily won the fight, but learned that Sahuagin Brutes are not pushovers and that they should be cautious of them in future.
They arrived at the Cathedral and met the Priestess of the Deep Waters who told them she could give them the ability to breathe underwater, but that they would have to sacrifice a piece of equipment for each person they wanted to be able to breathe underwater which means one each for Yulia, Goma, Cherchiel and Isalia unless they intend to leave people behind.
Casting identify on the priestess confirmed that she is seemingly on the up and up for the most part, though her title is apparently an embellishment. She is essentially just a very powerful mage and does not serve any actual higher power.
They cast identify on the items they had decided to give up and Miseral has agreed to accept these items, but has also informed them of the last potential downside of choosing her help.
The group decided to accept the deal and gave away the trident, spidersilk gown, demonic dress and the siren's swimsuit and in return they have... been told they have received the ability to breathe underwater, but there's no proof at the moment that anything has actually happened.
The party made a quick jaunt to the reef to take advantage of the lantern they had seen earlier. They also received some quick and simple swimming lessons from Goma. After retrieving a bunch of alchemy ingredients they emerged back onto the surface to find the Kraken had arrived.
The group decided to fight the Kraken and the fight... Did not go well. Yulia accidentally electrocuted everyone, The Kraken included and the Kraken fled, but the group was captured by Sahuagin and taken to their king.
The King and Yulia spoke off his offer. He of course wants them to kill the Kraken, but he also wants them to deal on behalf of the Sahuagins with the weapon seller, who has refused to finalize anymore deals until he meets Yulia. The king has also taken Yulia's friends hostage to ensure she follows through on her end of the deal. He has also explained that it would be unlikely that the three races would ever work together willingly again, unless Levateinn returned or a similarly powerful being **** them to work together again.
Yulia was **** to leave her friends with the king as she was escorted to the weapon seller. She met him and learned he was a previous chosen, aligned with the Tower Below. He killed the Sahuagin escorting her in order to have a private conversation with her where he offered her another deal. He'd somehow end the war if she killed Maeva.
Yulia agreed to the seller's terms, but after getting her friends and equipment back she went to try and warn Maeva, Maeva revealed she already knew, but was powerless to stop him.
The group discussed the Kraken and headed to the stone structure, on the way they witnessed a single Sahuagin wipe out a squad of Sirens with the new weapons they had been provided. After that they reached the structure and found within, Dahlia who was hiding since demons aren't well liked in Calumia and she didn't want to deal with the hassle. She confirmed she was here to still serve her normal function offering deals to the chosen.
The party accepted her deal and got three offensive spells, Fireball, **** Lance and Life Drain, but in return Yulia got an increase in her bondage fetish and developed an exhibition and Anal fetish.
Casting Identify on the books didn't yield much of use, casting Identify on Dreg revealed he was once a fairy king before being deposed and that he has dominion over sleep and dreams. Learning this pissed him off quite a bit.
The group learned the spells they got earlier and talked a bit about what to do regarding weapons and alchemy.
While the group waited for Goma to finish making grenades and Martin to finish making a Trident for Isalia, Yulia, Cherchiel and Isalia talked a bit about their plans. Specifically what they intended to do about the war in Calumia and about Dreg.
The group went to the swimsuit shop to wait for the Kraken to appear. As they did they talked about the connections between the surface and underwater areas of Calumia and about drinking on the beach with friends, until the Kraken finally appeared.
It was a difficult fight, but the Kraken was finally killed. Victorious, but all still suffering from the aphrodisiacs the Kraken uses the group return to the surface and Yulia is torn between curing the aphrodisiac on her friends or just letting this play out. She's a little worried about the dangers they might face if left in such a **** and compliant state for long though.
The four girls worked out their arousal and Isalia got to indulge a hitherto unexplored domination kink as well.
After identifying the rewards they got from the Kraken they went and informed the Sahuagin king that they had killed the Kraken and were promised friendship and free roam of the Sahuagin's territories. The Sahuagin King also offered to let them stay, either permanently or at least until Calumia was conquered at which point they would have free roam over all of Calumia.
they turned down the King's offer and left. They went to the surface to test out the Leech Mask they got from the Kraken. Doing so, turns Yulia bloodthirsty and she attacks Isalia before being stopped. Even after the mask is removed Yulia has a growing desire to kill something, which horrifies her. The group heads into the winding path in hopes of finding the exit of the floor, but instead they find an ambush waiting, one Isalia was able to point out in advance, now they need to decide how to handle the upcoming ambush.
The ambush is easily dealt with and there are now four sirens at the groups mercy. Yuia wants to kill one to alleviate her bloodthirst, but Cherchiel has her wait so they can potentially get information from the Sirens first.
They got information on the paths from the Siren as well as learning that killing Aqua or The Sahuagin King would be a way to nullify the Sahuagin's advantage. As well as being told about treasures they would likely acquire if they were to help kill the other leaders. After which Goma subtly puppeted one of the Sirens to attack and Yulia killed them satisfying the bloodthirst effect.
The women talk about what they know and what options they have.
Deals are offered and the group meets The Queen of the Sirens.
The Queen further elaborates on her deal and explains why they're desire for a better deal is non-viable.
The Queen gives the group Lri as an ally and they tie her up to make her seem like a prisoner as they head to Aqua to go kill him. This has the unintended side effect of dosing Lri with The Kraken's aphrodisiac effect making her incredibly horny.
They tried to fight Aqua, but unfortunately failed and Yulia was **** and left all alone with no idea where her equipment or allies are.
Yulia acquired some new clothes and went to Dahlia, who is in possession of Goma and has offered a trade to Yulia in return for Goma and a separate trade for information on the whereabouts of her friends.
Yulia traded herself for Goma and... Endured Dahlia's pleasures.
Yulia made another trade and learned that Isalia is being held by the sahuagin, now knowing where three out of four of her current companions are. She then prayed to the Tower Above and Lemiel deigned to appear and offer her help.
Lemiel made it clear that Yulia has not in fact officially joined the Tower Above, but the offer is still on the table. The group then went to find Lri at the mermaid's ruins, but ran into a stubborn mermaid guard who believes that they are trying to manipulate the three races. Also it has been revealed that Lemiel is quite hindered in water.
One of the voices decided to make it very clear what the mermaids' position was and seemed to shock and anger the guard, but Lemiel managed to diffuse the situation, however the guard still refuses to let them in noting that the mermaids are still going to be in a bad position whether or not the salesman is gone since Yulia and her friends are clearly still helping the Sirens.
They managed to convince the guard that trusting them and allying with the Sirens against the Salesman and the Sahuagin was their only option and she let them past. They found the "Goddess" of the Mermaids and rescued Lri who was being drained of her magic for use by the Mermaids. Lri is clearly traumatized by what they did to her and Yulia was given a ball of crystalized magic from Lri by the "goddess" which can apparently be used to supplement her own Mana.
The group learned a bit about the previous chosen and how she defeated each of Calumia's leaders and **** them into a binding oath of non-conflict which was broken when the salesman arrived and murdered a bunch of Sirens and Sahuagins. They also learned about how the former chosen was apparently betrayed and killed by a friend on the final floor. Afterwards they went to rest on the clothing shop island and each of them dealt with a bit of personal trauma before exhaustedly falling asleep.
Lemiel returned explaining that she had been absent in order to confirm her thoughts about dealing with Aqua. She explains that his enchantment that let's him ignore the water also makes him incapable of swimming and that almost all his abilities are touch based, meaning he is lacking any ranged abilities, minus one ability that let's him turn allies against each other. Which is why they needed at least three people to fight him. The group needs to decide now whether to rescue Isalia first in order to increase their chances against Aqua or attempt to kill Aqua now and make rescuing Isalia easier. Goma also feels worse as the one thing she felt useful for has been revealed to in fact make her a liability in this situation.
The group puts their plan into action and manage to kill Aqua, they get their stuff back and free Cherchiel, but something was done to Cherchiel and it's not clear yet what long term effects it might have.
Identify is cast on the blade of envy and Cherchiel, identifying nothing new regarding Cherchiel and noting the potential dangers of the blade as well as its power and that it is a "demonic heirloom and a prized possession of Levateinn," after which they went to the Sirens to try and form the alliance.
The Queen considers the voices offers and makes her own offer. Cherchiel is now jealous and Lri is in danger due to an awkward marriage proposal by the voices.
The voices accept and the Sirens and Mermaids prepare for battle while the Queen of the Sirens also vowed to avenge the suffering Lri suffered at the hands of the mermaids.
The invasion of the Sahuagin territory begins. The fighting is pretty one sided, the Sahuagins **** attempts only working to slow down the ****, unable to deal with both kinds of enemies simultaneously. The group made it through the gates with a smaller contingent which then got mired in ambush tactics within the city leading to the group and only a small **** of Sirens and Mermaids reaching the palace gates where they were met with the Sahuagin King's Praetorian Guard, the elite troops assigned to protect the King. Once they are defeated only the King will be left.
It was a difficult fight against enemies resistant to most forms of attack, but still... The overwhelming Power of Yulia and her allies saw them through and victory was achieved. Bloodied and battered though they now have a choice whether to assist their allies and advance together or go on their own to a final showdown with the King.
Having decided to help the others they easily overwhelmed the guards and continued on to the throne room. They found Isalia and the king. The King promising that if he was to die here he'd take Yulia down with him. Before the fight started something strange began happening to Isalia, but it's not clear yet what.
As the fight started Isalia began to give birth to an endless tide of eels which attacked the group. Despite this and Lemiel being flattened against the stone floor, the group won and killed the King. After which immediately the Siren Queen and Mermaid Goddess arrived demanding the King's Scepter.
Lri ended up grabbing the scepter and gave a speech about how she no longer supports her Queen or the Goddess and just wants the war over, she then turned the Scepter over to Yulia and begged her to not give it to either of the remaining rulers.
Realizing their relatively weaker positions the two rulers began to make offers in return for the scepter which eventually became a full on brawl between the two rulers, leaving Yulia in a position where she could potentially just let them fight it out.
Instead of letting them fight it out, Goma rigged the fight in the Queen's favour and then upon the Queen's triumph the Queen was taken out as well. Yulia has all three artifacts and now wonders what to do with the two leaders.
Both were stripped of all their gear and then after being asked about Yulia's predecessor who we learned was named Elena, they were given over to the other race to be held hostage.
With the War over, Yulia turned her sights towards Leviathan and finally getting off of this floor, but first she spent her time identifying all the items they had gotten from the two rulers and giving the artifacts to the people in the group they'd be best suited for.
With everything else on this floor handled the group went at last to face their final challenge in Calumia, The Leviathan, which turned out to be a massive and magical goldfish.
With the voices pretty split the group is at a standstill trying to decide how to deal with the Leviathan, much to Yulia's frustration.
The group comes up with a plan to use Lri as bait to pass the Leviathan and the plan works with nary a hitch, now they ride a strange high tech elevator to the next floor.
The group arrives on the next floor after a bit of theological, philosophical and Existential debate. Also the voices got to check in on some friends.
Exploration begins in the Mercantile zone where they find a number of abandoned stores and also find that Lemiel is still following them.
They learned that a strangely preserved hot dog was seemingly preserved by some strange gel, the e-reader spoke about some kind of creation gone rampant that was arresting everyone and someone or something is watching the group. Also Lemiel is still here for the moment.
The group headed to downtown and immediately ran into a squad of robots who became hostile upon noticing them.
The group managed to defeat the robots, but Isalia got hit with the equivalent of a stun gun and is now twitching and unable to move.
Isalia recovered and the group asked Martin what he could make using the parts of the robots, he answered he could make something great, but there might be an even better opportunity. Meanwhile Lemiel agreed to a dangerous game with Dreg for information.
As per the game with Dreg, Lemiel masturbated in front of the others and joined Yulia's group officially. Also the group learned the robots are always hostile and only Lemiel and yulia can actually deal with them.
Dreg explained a bit about this floor, naming it as Iralia, City of the Future. Lemiel explained about her abilities and then the group ventured outside and found a lovely city park with a fake sky. Unfortunately as they were enjoying the scenery the fake sky suddenly changed to show humiliating images and video of each of them, except Lri who it had no embarrassing footage of yet, and a warning that they are wanted for intruding on the city.
They learned the pod in the garden might have a person inside, possibly even still alive, but decided against trying to free them for the moment and instead went to check out the red light district where they ran into a bunch of android kemonomimi prostitutes, one of whom, a bunny propositioned the group.
Yulia committed a faux pas by using Identify on the bunny and almost started a fight immediately, but Lri managed to defuse things. The proposition is still on the table.
Pretending to accept the proposition the bunny has brought them into a hotel, the entire group and the bunny are now alone and the initial hostility seems to be gone. However they have no money to accept the bunny's services and they are uncertain if rejecting her now might reignite hostility.
The group managed to trick her into letting them bind her with the tentacle dagger and then interrogated her using the aphrodisiac effect of the tentacle to further entice her to answer.
They rewarded the Bunny Prostitute's good behaviour with a fuck session with Isalia and the tentacles and then Puppeted her to sleep before heading back to the park and deciding what to do about the pod.
Using cold temperatures they managed to easily neutralize the plant guarding the pod and opened it, inside they found a cat girl who seemed quite knowledeable and quick to adjust to her situation.
After giving Maple the Cat Girl or Felis some clothes and getting her to relative safety she told the group everything she could about the floor, now the only question is how to proceed.
The group decided to head to see Alide and on the way learned that most of the Mercantile Districts shops had been replaced by a massive megastore. They also met Alide who informed them a bit about why the Tower might have sent them to this floor and expanded a little on Elena's story before exchanging the Blade of Envy and Leech Mask for a Domed Helmet and a Red tinged cutlass.
The group headed to the Megastore much to Maple's excitement, although once inside Maple remembered that this was a terrible idea as they are all wanted and the Megastore is overseen by an automated system called the Manager, which upon noticing their entry locked the store down and proceeded to attack them.
The fight against the Manager went poorly and in the end Lri ended up sacrificing everyone else in order to save Yulia. Only Yulia, Lri and Maple made it out. The rest were presumably taken to the prison.
The remaining group went to Alide and got the cloak spellbook, Maple also informed them about another potential threat they might deal with called The Officer.
Yulia learned Cloak and the group learned from Alide they could summon an Archdemon to this floor if they really wanted too. Lri also revealed that despite machines not bleeding the sword she has which causes bleeding definitely seemed to have some sort of effect on the machines she cut with it.
The group fucked around with the cloak spell to establish it's limits and abilities and learned for one thing that performing actions does not seem to dispel it unlike with the veil and that it can be cast on multiple people. Unfortunately while trying to sneak through the engineering terminal, Yulia was bumped into and despite being invisible the enemies were alerted to her presence, they still can't see her, but it's now only a matter of time before they find the group and become hostile so the question becomes retreat and try again later or push forward even if this event might mean more resistance further on?
The group chose to retreat and upon returning to the Mercantile area they decided to wait for the heat to die down at which point Dreg offered them a game. The stakes, if they lose he's gonna fuck Maple, if they win he'll free their trapped friends from the prison. The group are uncertain if this is worth the risk even for such a good prize especially since it's Dreg and trusting him to be honest or fair seems unlikely.
The group chose to not accept Dreg's offer, but he informed them the offer would remain on the table for now. They then went back to engineering and successfully snuck through the terminal, but then ran afoul of a machine guarding Maple's workshop which grabbed Maple and now Yulia and Lri have to rescue her from some sort of machine jellyfish.
Yulia and Lri managed to defeat the Jellyfish and save Maple, but the Directive has found them. Lri wants to flee and fight another time, but Maple wants them to stand and fight so she can finish some sort of project she thinks will help.
Maple sets to work as the machine police arrive. This will be an important fight and Yulia's continued journey will hang in the balance.
The girls fight to the best of their ability to buy time for Maple. They do admirably, but they're fighting a losing battle and just when all seems lost, Maple reveals the fruits of her work. High tech suits of armor and plasma rifles that can make short work of machines. With her help they fight their way out and make it to safety. With these new weapons and armor, they have a much better chance against Sally.
After learning a bit more about the new tech they decided to visit the residences, there they found traces of Stasis slimes and a cemetery, as well one of the houses ominously opened up on it's own to a darkened interior, remaining open, inviting them inside.
After figuring out and switching up equipment they sent an illusion into the house which seemed to trigger some kind of trap, though they didn't get to see exactly what happened since the door shut as well.
Deciding against entering the obvious trap the women go check out the cemetery and learn that the mausoleum in the center with a statue depicting a bull man reaching his hands up to the sun is the resting area of the man who made the city fly and is considered the founder of the city, though the city did in fact exist before hand on the ground. Maple mentioned that the source of all power in the city is hidden in his mausoleum and that there are potentially old inventions in there as well, but cautioned that removing or shutting down the power source would cause the city to eventually fall from the sky and that she doesn't support the idea of grave robbing.
Deciding against Grave Robbing for the moment, they returned to the workshop and learned about the suit upgrades.
After creating some suit upgrades and EMP grenades they left to head to the prison, but unfortunately they have again run afoul of the Directive who has sent some more predators and something new called a Gigas after them.
The fight with Gigas went surprisingly well with Maple sustaining some minor damage to her armor and suit and Lri being unharmed at all. However during the fight, Yulia inhaled some sort of biological attack that has left her ill and incapable of action now. Lri and Maple need to figure out some way to save her so the journey can continue, Dreg offers an option, but at an unstated cost.
Dreg has revealed his cost is that he wants them to permanently trade Goma for a cure for Yulia, stating that she would still be useable as an alchemist, but would no longer be allowed to accompany them or serve in combat. Lri has stated her intent to go alone and try to raid the megastore for a cure and they have learned the healing kits do not cure diseases, but can treat them. Meanwhile Yulia's disease is progressing.
Maple decides to go on her own to get the conversion upgrade so they can make a different item into a cure for Yulia. Unfortunately the Directive spots her while she's on her own and makes her a surprising offer, meanwhile Yulia is getting worse and Dreg continues to push his own offer.
Maple performs surprisingly well as she rejects the offer, but now she's run into something of a stand off with time running out. Meanwhile Yulia is also running out of time.
Maple managed to get inside, kill the predator and create the conversion upgrade which was then used to cure Yulia.
Yulia has fully recovered, the group went and recovered the plates from Maple's fight and now stand outside the megastore, preparing for a rematch with the Manager.
The group converted everything they could into EMP grenades and then went inside and through... extremely liberal application of EMP grenades they emerged victorious
The harvest spot they found in the store appears to be a 100 Rellum limit shopping spree, for whatever they want in store.
They found demonic dresses which they learned were created specifically for each party member, including Maple somehow, they also learned the shopping spree is not randomized and they get to choose what item of each type they get as well.
Looking at the rest of the items on display they found that it contained among other things rare weapons they had lost previously, some special tech stuff even Maple wasn't sure about and also tailor made outfits.
They ended up purchasing a machine core, a new replacement boar mask and two shots of adrenaline and then went and finished creating some upgrades for Yulia's tech suit, after that they arrived finally at the prison, ready to rescue their friends.
They decided to check out the yard and there Sally created a holographic projection that explained it's frustrations at specifically Maple trying to stop her despite her doing in her own eyes at least exactly what Maple and Del wanted her to do. She then summoned forth the Mother Stasis Slime to attack the party.
The rain empowered the mother slime, but also made it especially **** to lightning strike and a few made quick work of the creature.
Afterwards they went inside and ran afoul of the Officer.
The fight with the officer was tough and Lri got stuck in a cell and violated by mechanical tentacles, but they won through in the end and managed to rescue Cherchiel, Lemiel and Isalia. Now the question is just whether to retreat to heal and deal with the strange object placed inside Lemiel, Cherchiel, Isalia and as was just revealed Maple or to go try and deal with the Directive immediately.
The decision is made to retreat for now. They heal everyone and then freed a number of Iralian Citizens before telling them to free others and retreated to Maple's Workshop.
They create some tech weapons and armor for the group and Maple mentions there's a hospital that could be helpful in removing the objects.
The party head to the hospital and have a short discussion with Sally before entering the hospital where they meet some humanoid robots in the form of nurses and hospital security.
The offer is made for Lemiel and Yulia to disarm and disrobe in order to receive medical attention for Lemiel that would include the removal of the object, but it would leave Yulia and Lemiel **** and requires the rest of the party to leave the hospital grounds. Maple also theorized that Sally might have been designed with the partial intent to be Del's AI Waifu which might explain some of her more perverted activities.
Lemiel and Yulia agreed to undergo treatment, but were ambushed by Sally who sexually tortured both of them for a bit until Lri who had snuck in stealthed attacked and drove Sally away. The treatment still removed the object from Lemiel, but also took the object away before it could be identified. Lemiel is now object free and has her powers back, but the rest still have an object inside them and they still don't know what the objects do.
The group discuss Lemiel's new breasts, whether or not they could deal with removing the objects themselves or should try the hospital again and whether or not Maple wants to suck on some angel titty and get some lovely celestial milk.
Isalia ends up sucking on some angel titty and finds that indeed angel milk tastes amazing, however this triggers the device which sends her into an orgasmic coma, the devices are also successfully removed from everyone, but Maple and identified as being magic inhibitors and also a method of transferring mana to power various parts of the city. When it's Maple's turn to have hers removed however she has a mental breakdown starting to panic, terrified of the pain she saw Cherchiel and Isalia undergo.
They decided to **** feed Maple some of Lemiel's milk in order to render her **** so they can perform the surgery at which point they learn that she like a normal cat has two uteri which mildly messes with the surgery, but not enough to stop it from being completed. They also learn the lactation, might be having an effect on Lemiel's God's Light.
The group takes a rest to help recover from the surgery and also cure Lemiel's lactation, though they milk her first to save some of her milk for possible future use. Worried about the Directive Yulia chooses to not send Dreg away and so instead her rest is disturbed by a dream in which he forcibly fucks her throat and also teaches her the joy of makeup.
They find the extracted milk will last, Maple is pissed that they did the surgery on her against her will but agrees to continue helping them for now. They head to the directive and find that it has one last trick up it's sleeve, summoning the Huntress, a powerful machine to protect it.
They defeated the Huntress and destroyed the Directive, recovering another vial of semen and a rail gun crossbow, as well as a strange technological helmet. During the fighting everyone, but Yulia was either badly or mildly injured, but they survived thanks to quick healing. Now all that's left is to deal with Sally.
With the Directive gone they no longer have to worry about being attacked at random as such they headed to get a tech suit made for Lemiel, with the flux upgrade. They also identified the new items they got and Yulia helped Cherchiel out with the effect of the Boar Mask.
After some discussion, Maple confirmed they could make more bolts with the converter, but not out of metal plates, though she did suggests Martin could simply smith more bolts. They then decided to go to operations where they immediately ran into a security checkpoint manned by two hostile machines.
The group easily beat the hostile machines and enter operations proper, but this seems to have set off an alarm. They see a factory hard at work creating new machines and find two paths to continue on, one going to storage and one going to Operations Control Console.
Heading into storage they do in fact find Goma and learn that pregnant women and children cannot be safely put into storage, they also find 100 deactivated machines who are suddenly reactivated as Sally reveals this is a trap. The group has to fight through an army of machines or abandon their friend.
After a long hard fight against overwhelming numbers the group came out victorious and finally rescued Goma. They took a quick rest and are now ready to deal with Sally.
Goma came back to her senses and the child, a boy with Goblin, Angel, Sower and Mindflayer DNA was named Izzy and then a Tower Aid named Lydia showed up to take the child somewhere safe. Asking the group whether she should take Izzy to a safe place on the tenth floor or bring Izzy to stay with the goblins.
Izzy was sent to stay with the Goblins and then some more preparations were made before they went to face Sally, Sally dressed in a sexy military outfit and wielding a stun gun faced them and offered them another chance to surrender, revealing that despite being a hologram she can hurt them even though she doesn't want to. She also summoned a number of energy shields to try and protect her console.
The fight didn't look very difficult at first, but a cast of Identify has revealed some quite difficult surprises. It might be time to rethink.
After thoroughly rejecting Sally's offer, the fight began and turned out to be quite difficult, but in the end they succeeded and deactivated the operations console.
The truth of Del and Sally's full motivations revealed. Only one choice left now.
It was learned that reaching the end of the tower might also offer some possible cure for Del and so the decision to have Maple continue with them was made, it was also decided to bring Sally along, in the body of the robot bunny girl prostitute from earlier.
With Sally along and properly equipped with some new gear the group descend down an elevator to the next floor. Noting that no longer on this floor, their rifles no longer have infinite power and will run out of charges with use.
The group arrive in the new floor, which is known as the Sparkling Sea. They are informed that there's no restriction on travel and they just need to pick a cardinal direction and set off.
They mill about Camp for a bit figuring out options for dealing with thirst and also learning the camp is empty except for them, Dreg and Martin.
After seemingly figuring out a water source the group went west and found a desert mountain with a disturbingly mouth like cave entrance.
A use of an illusion, revealed the mouth of the cave is protected by large tentacle like tongues that attempt to grab and lick people who pass. Lemiel has identified this as probably being part of the realm of the Archdemon, Bal'zaibul.
Retreating from the realm of Bal'zaibul the group headed north instead and found the entrance to some underground area. Goma meanwhile lacking the protection of the Tech suits is suffering from the early stages of heat stroke putting the rest of the group in a risky position where retreating back to camp might not be possible. Leaving them with only the choice to continue forward unless the voices can think of and suggest another option.
The group heads down into the sand and the light module saves them from potentially falling down the stairs. At the bottom they run into a Lamia named Hess who informs them there is a bath through a door to their left and that they are in a temple belonging to the Lamia.
The group takes a bath and during the bath they learn a bit about the wandering enemy and that the Lamias and Nagas of the temple are undergoing something of a magically induced heat and Yulia offers to help Hess with her desires in return for something.
Yulia and Hess had sex and Hess has agreed to help whenever the group asks for her help, as long as it is within reason.
Hess gave a bit of an info dump about the Fangs and the temple.
As the group was about to descend deeper into the Temple, the Wandering Monster showed up again. An identify spell revealed that it is called The Rack and that there are in fact four different wandering monsters on this floor. Hess offered to sacrifice herself so Yulia and the rest could flee.
The group decided to fight, but the creature proved too much for them and they were defeated. Many of them injected with poisons and Yulia was ****, injected with poisons and brought somewhere in the desert alone. Now she has to save herself and then find her friends.
Yulia heals herself with potions and fixes her gear then heads to the Oasis where she finds two anthro scorpion women, an anthro tarantula woman and an anthro wasp woman. The two scorpions ask her to give them her clothes and let them lay eggs in her if she wants to rest at the Oasis.
Yulia offered to duel the wasp one on one instead with the same stakes, but the scorpions didn't like the increased odds with no increased risk and added an extra stake, if Yulia loses the duel she'll be taken to their nest to be bred by others of their tribe as well.
Yulia decided against the duel and made the painful trek through the desert twice to reach the temple again. She arrived, feeling terrible, and learned that her friends had been taken deeper into the temple to get medical attention, but also that they were likely, once healed being assaulted by the sex crazed temple denizens.
Yulia grudgingly agrees to rest and after having rested and recuperated heads off to rescue her friends. She arrives at the temple inner sanctum and runs into the two naga who operate the gate to the Sand Mother's Throne Room. They offered to tell her where her friends are if she lets them fuck her, though it has been implied they might attack and try to **** her if she declines the offer anyway.
She agreed to let them fuck her and was doubleteamed by the two of them, afterwards, they indeed told her a direction to go to get to her friends, but also despite being satisfied during the sex, afterwards she found herself exceptionally horny and desiring more sex with them and had to be reminded to save her friends before she could pull herself away.
Yulia enters the living area and finds her friends all being fucked, all of them to varying degrees of unwilling, except Cherchiel who is strangely into it. Yulia is struggling to avoid her growing arousal and begs the voices to help keep her on task.
Yulia managed to cause a panic by claiming the Rack was coming and in the ensuing chaos freed her friends and convinced the snakes to back down. Cherchiel is revealed to have reverted to whatever mind control Aqua had used on her previously and is freed from it again.
The group heads to the treasury and recover their equipment, while also noting there's other equipment available in the treasury, but they're not sure it would be ethical to take it. They then go to see the Sand Mother and learn that the curse also keeps people from being in the Sand Mother's presence as her presence and especially her voice triggers the curse, much to Yulia's chagrin as she's **** to experience a number of incredibly powerful orgasms just from hearing the Sand Mother's voice.
Yulia, Goma and Cherchiel retreated outside while Lemiel and the rest spoke with the Sand Mother, they learned that someone had to have purposely given the curse to Yulia as the curse is not merely transmitted by Sex. The suggestion it might have been the Rack was brought up and they also learned that to deal with the curse they would need to find the source of the curse and destroy it, the source being an object or being imbued with the curse. The curse is also triggered by proximity and so upon leaving the temple, Yulia should be temporarily at least freed of the curse, the curse only affecting her while she's in proximity to the source. The group also learned a bit more about the other locations to the west and south and some possible answers to what might be to the east.
They meet the guards again and then meet Hess and convince her to join them outside the temple heading to the camp at which point she and Yulia seem to have been relieved of the curse. The question of what to do now, becoming the next goal
The group traveled to the East and found the Tomb of the Restless, a large pyramid guarded by two buxom women wrapped in bandages. They confirmed with little prompting the Fangs were there and also seemed eager at the idea there might be a fight between Yulia's group and the Fangs, granting easy access to the tomb.
The guards explained about the fangs and the desire for bloodshed, Hess explained about the undead nature of the mummies that exist in the tomb and that they're essentially unkillable, but also not hostile. They entered and found a map and interacted with more of the mummies, learning a bit more about them.
The group learned about the floor Monster for the Tomb of the Restless who is known as Goregut. They also passed through the hall of Shadows with ease, apparently spoiling the fun of the mummies in the process and have arrived at the ritual chamber where they encountered the Fangs of the Lost Serpent.
The leader of the Fangs, Talwa'Ish Renni makes a surprisingly good argument against both the divinity and good intentions of the Desert Mother and her status as the progenitor of the Naga and Lamia race. It's up to the voices now whether to try and argue against her, turn to **** or perhaps even side with her if they have been convinced by her argument.
Yulia et al with the help of the voices, defeated Talwa'Ish Renni in the debate and her humiliating defeat brought out her slutty side, further humiliating her and discrediting her in the eyes of her fellow Fangs. However as she was defeated she revealed the truth of the matter, the source of the Curse is The Desert Mother and the Curse can't be lifted by them. The only way to remove the curse is to destroy the source, failing that the Followers will either have to abandon her in the Temple or she'll have to exile herself so that the Source is no longer close to them.
Upon arriving at the Desert Temple and informing the Desert Mother the Dark Power responsible for the curse revealed themselves as an evil demonic clone of Yulia created by the Abyss to take up the mantle of Arch Demon of Lust, calling herself Malia Lustra the evil clone revealed that she did indeed create the curse entirely to fuck over Yulia and the group. She does admit that she might be willing to remove the curse if the group are willing to offer her something in return.
With no attempt at an offer being made and a threat Malia didn't take seriously, Malia left and the focus turned again to Talwa and the decision of what to do with her. Lri had one of the Ex-fangs poison her so she'd be affected by the curse, but backed off when the member then asked for permission to fuck her against her will, something Lri found uncomfortable. However the question remained on the table as did other methods of punishing the foolish snake woman who had screwed over her entire race because of a selfish delusion.
They decided against letting someone **** Talwa and instead brought Yulia in to identify The Desert Mother which revealed the curse could indeed only be broken by something akin to a god or Malia herself. After that they set about the idea of dealing with the Rack.
A number of problems with their initial plans were revealed and a few new plans were suggested.
Using the strategy of luring it into the bathing pool turned out to be extremely effective. The group easily killed The Rack and got it's vial of semen and a weird mace and even weirder armor.
The group identified the new items then went to the treasury, met the secret treasury guardian and then found and identified a bunch of new items.
The group mostly decided what to do with their new items and then headed to the tomb when they arrived though they felt the Desert Mother's presence and sent Hess inside to get her to leave for the moment, unfortunately as soon as Hess entered she got attacked by Goregut who was just inside the entrance.
The group beat Goregut and found that the Prism Staff is quite the major trade off including the Staff imbued Searing Light spell being an incredibly powerful spell that also attempts to kill the user.
The group descended to the gift shop where they found Alide who indeed alongside her normal duties was in fact running a Tomb of the Restless souvenir shop.
Goma cut herself to pay for a plushy which was then sent to Izzy, care of Lydia. Yulia got a copy of Unlock and Alide clarified that the exit is indeed through the Hive and that The Hungry Sands are optional and also very very dangerous.
They traded the scepter for a necromancer staff and then headed to the coffeehouse and found it to be a quite nice little place. There was also a scorpioness there getting a mocha and Talwa cemented herself as just the worst kind of person...
While drinking coffee, Yulia learned Unlock lvl 3, Talwa, Maple and Lemiel argued about necromancy and how **** Yulia actually is as well as a few other things. They also learned about the Scorpions and Wasps a bit and about the Mummies.
They learned a bit more about the wasps, learned that Open can trigger traps and met the sexy Anubis Queen of the Undead who seemed happy to offer them bodies.
The Queen deanimated ten of her subjects to give as corpses to the group who Lemiel then reanimated. She also pledged to help them fight the Hungry Sands and asked them if they wouldn't perhaps want anything else from her.
They asked about the Sarcophagus and got a vague answer, found Open did not work on the wasps and mastered Firestorm as well as making a ton of Mana Potions.
The group heads to the Hive and meet a single Scorpioness and Wasp. Asking for safe passage in return for defeating the Collector was turned down by the ungrateful Scorpioness who declared that beating the Collector would just mean they are too valuable as incubators to be allowed to pass freely. Before she could do anything further however the Collector showed up, easily dispatched the Wasp and started to go after the Scorpion who was trapped in the Oasis after the Collector's appearance froze the water.
Yulia and the group identified the Collector and let it attack the Scorpioness leaving her in a comatose state before Lemiel used the necromancy staff on it which instantly killed and then reanimated the Collector as a simple zombie servant.
After learning the Wasp wouldn't answer no matter what they did, they turned their attention to the Scorpion. Having to **** her for information seemed to break something inside of Yulia. Yulia offered a fight to the **** and a chance for vengeance to the Scorpion in return for information and held up her end of the bargain. Easily almost killing the Scorpioness, but leaving her barely alive, now the question is put to the voices whether or not to show mercy.
The choice was made to spare the Scorpioness and with knowledge of the pitfalls ahead the group left the scorpion and wasp bound and made their way successfully through the pitfall laden desert reaching the barrier and finding it indeed uncrossable. Their only option left to proceed forward being to enter the Hive through what appears to be a surface entrance.
They enter the Hive and almost immediately run into a crossroads where they are then accosted by two wasps. The two wasps seem intent on letting no one pass without first submitting to the hive and even Lri using an illusion to seem as though the Collector was with them the Wasps, though definitely afraid did not back down. A fight seems inevitable.
The group used the fight to test out their zombies which proved horrifyingly effective especially since it turns out the Hunting Horn does affect them. The zombies devoured one of the wasps and were barely kept from devouring the other.
The wasp was healed and managed to through some trickery give them directions. They followed the directions, tying her up with the tentacle dagger and bringing her with and arrived at the home of the Tarantulas.
The group spoke with one of the Tarantula's who goes by the title E23 and got her to answer some questions. However seeing how meek and nervous she was acting the group decided to try and intimidate the Tarantulas which had the opposite intended effect and the Tarantulas became hostile.
A bluffed show of power and arrogance by Sally with assistance from Goma helped to prevent combat
Despite managing to avoid combat, the characters decided to fight anyway in order to get to and end the spells controlling the Wasps.
The group managed to defeat the Tarantulas despite learning the Tarantulas could almost completely shut down the magic casting ability of the group. Also almost the entirety of the group's zombies were destroyed in the fight.
Yulia tried to use therapy on Ella to convince her of her own self worth, but instead only uncovered a hidden layer of guilt the Tarantula were hiding under their subservience.
No real progress was made in regards to the therapy session, but Yulia and the group did get assurance from the Wasps that if they did undo the spell and free the Wasps, the Wasps would give them free passage.
Yulia has made the decision to free the Wasps, the only question left is whether the Tarantulas will flee before hand or try to stop them.
The Tarantulas made the decision to leave and then Yulia broke the spell now they have a free path off of this floor.
Yulia and the rest start to head to the surface to go to the next floor, but on the way they encounter some unfortunate Scorpions being **** by Wasps. One of the Scorpions tries to ask for help and offers the location of treasure in return. The Wasp says that Yulia could probably find the treasure anyway if she just heads down the tunnels instead of going above ground.
Heading through the tunnels they find the incubator holding area and that there are indeed many captives, but they are all too far gone or too difficult to rescue, but they also find the path to the treasure, however there's a wasp who's been defeated in there. An ominous sign.
Continuing forward they find a curated collection of items taken from captives, but before they can interact, they narrowly avoid an ambush thanks to Lri. A Scorpioness, named Beck, who explains that she is part of a sect of Scorpions who had become strong and combative during the days when they were preyed upon by the Wasps and had not lost that edge during the time of peace unlike the other Scorpions who had become decadent and complacent.
Four more scorpions revealed themselves and immediately took Cherchiel and Yulia out of the fight. Even so the group managed to be victorious and captured Beck though the rest of the Hunter Scorpions managed to escape.
Beck was forcefed the potion of Libidinous Vitality and then tortured into joining the group. Yulia showed off some cool items they found.
They tested and assigned some of the items, Beck and Yulia wrestled and Beck won, but it was found that this didn't count for the Conqueror's Promise. Also Beck was horny and tried to **** Yulia, but after trying to lay eggs in her was stopped.
The group ascended the stairs and are now heading to the top floor of the tower. They have been fully rejuvenated as well.
Entering the final floor they find Alide waiting for them in front of a mysterious door. They apparently must choose whether or not to use her services before anything else or they won't be able to.
The Chosen decide to get a utility spell from Alide who gives them another copy of Unlock, letting them potentially fully level the spell. She then asked them if they intend to open the mysterious door. Informing them that if they choose to open the door, they will have to face the floor monster, but if they choose not to they will not be able to get the treasure within, but there will be no floor monster on this floor.
The choice was made and as had been long suspected, Alide revealed herself as the final floor monster before vanishing. Dreg then appeared and informed them of how dangerous Alide was going to be and wished them luck.
Dreg clarified some concerns about how open works and then the group went through the third door and found an entrance to a large ominous forest with a female figure within who, while hidden in the dark gestured for them to join her.
They decided not to continue into the dark forest and went back trying the first door and ran into Dahlia who informed them this floor is a straight line, but split into three main paths. Two side paths that go through the domains of various functionaries and a middle path that belongs exclusively to Alide and The Tower's own defenses.
The voices decided to continue through Dahlia's domain, but didn't actually choose a path forward through said domain, so nothing much happened except some speculation and discussion on the nature of the Tower.
The group entered the left door and found themselves in a forest of hanging ropes which Dahlia proudly declared was her "Rope Room" before she could give her whole explanation of the room though Alide showed up, ready to kill. Dahlia warned that fighting in this room would be extra dangerous, for both the group and Alide and also offered to get rid of Alide in return for Yulia getting a boon from Dahlia.
The group fought Alide, but with the ropes almost immediately taking out most of the group and failing to take out Alide the fight ended up going badly. Alide shot Beck in the head, which Beck luckily survived thanks to the potion of Libidinous Vitality. Dahlia managed to chase away Alide stopping her from killing anyone else, but then made her own deal clear. With Cherchiel, Goma and Maple in critical condition and nearly everyone else suffering from poison, Yulia and the voices now have to negotiate a deal with Dahlia before it's too late to save everyone.
Yulia got **** and impregnated by Dahlia and in return got to save her friends and got an undermine book.
Yulia recovered and learned that her pregnancy is gestating much quicker than usual. They also ran into and avoided one of Alide's traps and learned the other room was the Ravishment room where Dahlia will let them pass if they let her ravish one of them or they defeat her in combat.
The group retreats to the first area again. They run some tests with Open and have some conversations with Dreg.
The group returns to the rope room and burn away the ropes, however they also burn Dahlia quite badly, which pisses her off.
The group decides to attack Dahlia in her weakened state and after a difficult battle they manage to beat her and **** the binding ring onto her finger.
Dahlia answers questions and gets spanked and fisted into a shameful orgasm by Yulia.
The group moves forward into the negotiation room and are attacked by Yulia while one of her previous laid traps activates and hangs Yulia.
Despite everything the group manages to absolutely trounce Alide... Until Alide activates her trump card. A **** one on one duel with Yulia.
In their one on one fight Yulia manages to still win, with a surprisingly large advantage. The fight is finished and there's only one thing left to do. It's time to kill Alide.
Dahlia and Alide confirmed that the Halo wouldn't work... though Dahlia did suggest a risky alternative that would still remove Alide from the Tower, but would at least allow her to potentially survive in a sense.
Dahlia has explained more thoroughly her plan and the risks involved.
The voices found a workable additional loophole in Dahlia's plan and Alide's soul was placed into the Soul Jar with no additional risks. After which she was killed and her drops were collected including the final key.
They identified the items they got from Alide's body and then went and opened the big door finding a secret Tower Functionary within. The fiery red headed Maid, Fiona who can take items from one run and put them into a future run. Allowing you to start a chosen's next run with powerful equipment from a previous run.
The choice of items to send with Fiona was narrowed but there is still some indecision. Dahlia has noted Jasper as the Panty collector and the Ring of sanctity has been confirmed to remove and block status effects even those given by equipment, though the effect will return if the ring is removed.
Beck got fucked by Dahlia and Alide was brought back as a Golem. It has been confirmed that the Ring does prevent and cure curses.
Dahlia presented an array of demonic items matching the requested items to the best of her ability.
Choices still being finalized.
Some items were sent with Fiona and then the group went and saw Alide's house. While there Alide asked them to stay a bit since this is the last time she'll actually be able to see her house, but before a choice could be made Yulia suddenly went into labor.
Yulia gave birth to a beautiful baby... Tentacle monstrosity? It was taken away by Lydia and Yulia is now resting. Alide is making eggs and toast. Living out her weirdly simple dream of domestic goddesshood.
The group all enjoy Alide's hospitality and then sleep. Sally, Alide and Dahlia have a conversation about their lack of purpose and what awaits them in the future. Yulia recovers and the group move on to the Final Barrier. A riddle posed to the voices to allow the chosen to continue forward.
The voices, unintentionally solve the riddle and the group moves on, only for Yulia to fall prey to one of Alide's earlier set traps. She gets out without much issue and they move on to the next room. This room Alide explains holds a mirror that upon looking in will try to tempt you. Denying the temptation lets you pass through the mirror safely, but trying to pass through the mirror, while still tempted will trap you in the mirror forever.
The group decided not to risk losing anyone and traveled into Dahlia's domain, quickly passing through and arriving at Lydia's domain. A horrid rendition of a child's drawing brought to unnatural life. Lydia informed them if they wanted to continue forward they would have to face her two Stick figure guardians.
The fight with the Stick Figures goes well and Yulia et al win, but something seems wrong. Various party members failed to take part in the fight for one reason or another and a couple of normally unlikely mistakes were made.
The group raises the dead stick figure as an unfortunately completely normal zombie and then continued forward where Lydia stood before them again and this time summoned a dragon to prevent their passage.
Lydia agreed to allow them to pass without fighting the dragon if they let her milk Lemiel.
Lydia brought the group to the Dairy where she showed off the many other women, some of whom had been men originally being milked. However while milking Lemiel she revealed the Dairy is enchanted and as the group stayed they became more aroused, began lactating and slowly lost their minds to pleasure, only Sally and Alide are unnaffected. If Sally can't get people out they might soon never want to leave and join Lydia's growing collection of dairy cows.
Sally and Alide manage to save everyone and get them through the door where they have now arrived at Quincy's domain.
The voices confused Jasper and Quincy and Quincy informed them he does not collect underwear. He reiterated his offer.
Quincy confirmed that he'd accept a golem or zombie and also that he would destroy Yulia if she tried to identify him.
Quincy turned the zombie offered him into a normal person and then enslaved her before granting the group passage and also asking them to name the new ****.
They named the former zombie, Zoe and then moved forward to find the holding area for Quincy's slaves. Quincy informed them they'd have to fight in one on one fights to get past him to the next area.
After some discussion between Quincy and the voices in the forum thread Quincy agreed to make the enslavement of the losers temporary. He then revealed Queen as an inhuman swarm queen of some now mostly extinct race.
Sally faced off against Queen and Quincy revealed his trick. Both fighters hands are bound eliminating the ability to use weapons and hampering their magic abilities. Sally lost and was fondled and enslaved, temporarily by Quincy.
Cherchiel went up next with the Aspect and Boar mask and crushed Queen, literally...
Candy was brought out and revealed to be a push over ex-chosen. Quincy seems to just enjoy watching her get beaten.
Candy was exactly as easy as expected, but Quincy was disappointed when Talwa ended the fight too quickly. Regardless that is 2 wins out of 3 needed for the group.
Missy is put up against Talwa next and turns out to be a dangerous opponent. Talwa will have to put up quite a fight to win.
Talwa managed to win securing the 3/3 wins needed to continue, but Quincy revealed that his agreement to only temporarily holding onto slaves was a trick and he has no intention of giving Sally back right away.
Quincy tried one last time to goad them into fighting, but also actually somewhat boasted about his abilities and why he's so eager to fight. The group at least for now decided against it and headed forward to the penultimate room of the Tower, the final test, but no one not even Alide and Dahlia know what awaits when they step forward.
It is reiterated for Yulia and the voices that this is the final challenge and there is no going back.
The group engaged in a last minute team building orgy and afterwards they all head forward only to learn this challenge is for Yulia alone and she has to prove her growth by beating every enemy she had failed to beat in the Tower before now.

Tower of Voices
Otherworldly guides help or hinder heroes and heroines
Many heroes and heroines come to the Tower of Voices seeking fame and fortune. The Tower acts as a connection to other worlds and voices of beings from other worlds come through. Each year one aspiring hero is chosen by the voices to be guided on their quest, but will the voices lead the chosen one to victory or fuck with them for entertainment... Only you can decide because you, all of you are the voices. Art by The-Blue-Heretic
