Slate’s Surprise Deal

Cerci and Genie continued to float on Sprite until they saw Slate come out of the water as tentacles from his back managed to grab them midair as he landed on Sprite

“You two again?” He asked surprised

“Ahem!” Said Genie pointing to Sprite

“What how the hell did you get her so big!!”

“I had to kiss her to inflate the flat bitch with my fucking breath which took forever!!!”

“Impressive, but alas you’re too late to even attempt to save your friend, I’ve got big things planned for this world!” Said Slate eagerly as he pulled out the Orb of Ongoing..

“And you’re going to join them!” Said Slate holding it ready to take them with…

“Wait, can’t we make a trade or something?” Asked Genie

“Hmm…. Go on?”

They emptied their bags as the Shard of Splitting fell out as Slate grabbed it..

“Heheh, why thank you for getting this to me!” Said Slate

“So… can we live?”

“Of course, provided no ocean creatures attempt to take you!” Said Slate as he slid down and opened Sprites mouth wide enough to let all her air escape..

She deflates at a rapid paces as Slate dives back in the water as his tentacles allow him to swim at a rapid pace…

“No Dammit, what do we do?!” Said Genie as they sunk into the water..

And so each party was crippled as Slate had no mages to help him find any Artefacts…

And the adventures would soon be food for a passing magic leviathan…

What mysterious Artefacts would be uncovered by them…
