The Penultimate Dawn

Skye

Skye finds herself in a peculiar position. She is in reverie with Ms. Mattie, both nude as is right and decent, standing before The Lady of the Dance, who is beaming with something like sadistic glee.

“My sweet little cinnamon roll of a champion and my cousin from beyond the stars, do you know why I have called you here this day?”

Skye, wanting to touch herself in front of her goddess, does not. Ms. Mattie may know, muttering something about mutually disturbed destruction instead of providing an actual explanation. So, The Lady snaps her fingers. Streamers fly through the air, party blow horns blare, and a banner descends behind the goddess, which reads: Mattie Missed!

“You bitch!” Ms. Mattie whines, “C’mon. That arrow not hitting the target shouldn’t count.”

“Let’s check you permission slip, cousin.” Another banner falls, with the words of the pact Ms. Mattie made to continue using her blasphemous guns: This agreement allows Matilda McMattersen to shoot ranged weapons without invoking Eilistraee’s divine wrath, provided she never misses. Upon each missed shot, Matilda McMattersen shall receive bare bottom spankings from the nearest champion of Eilistraee until she orgasms, at Eilistraee’s earliest convenience.

That looks pretty cut and dry. “Ah, My Lady, do I have to...”

The Lady of the Dance leans down, smiling as she answers the question not completely asked, “If you don’t, the next nearest champion of mine is Gorglonloth, the 14 armed cactus giant of dimension 2a248ew9btr1q. His spines have a super fun toxin that is similar in effect to another famous Harem Hotel cactus. Do you need a picture?”

Ms. Mattie sighs, “Ah, Mrs. Skye, I think I need you to spank me.” She assumes a table top position and awaits judgment.

The Lady bends down to look Ms. Mattie in the eye, offering, “My dear cousin, would you like a little assistance? I am a magnanimous goddess and will grant you a temporary boon, for, as you say, while missing that giant archery target was offensive, it was harmless to do so within the confines of an archery range.”

“I’m going to regret saying yes, but sure, hook a girl up.”

“A little motivation from another season of that vile show you two are on. It will be gone by the end of your reverie. Enjoy!” Then, with a wink, The Lady is gone and a big red “X” appears on one of Ms. Mattie’s lovely buttocks.

“Ah, Ms. Mattie, there appears to be an X on your tushy.”

Ms. Mattie groans, “Of course the pervy naked goddess picks that one. Okay, Mrs. Skye, I’m going to need you to be really brave and open-minded. You need to spank me on the ‘X’ and order me to cum. And then keep doing it until I actually cum.”

“Ah, okay, Ms. Mattie,” Skye verbally blushes, deciding to ignore the blasphemy, then lightly taps the ‘X’ with a squeak, “Cum?”

“Harder. On both accounts.”

It takes a few rounds for Skye to get the right amount of ****, the right level of command, but she does manage it. Once she does, Ms. Mattie really starts to respond, moaning like someone who likes being spanked. Skye does not get the appeal. Maybe it’s due to Mother Kimiko always spanking with the flat of her blade instead of a hand. Still, Skye starts to develop a rhythm. WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” WHACK! “Cum!” Then Ms. Mattie’s body turns to jelly.

When she comes to, the soldier wiggles her butt at Skye again. “Hey, Skye, spank me again.”

Harper

Daphne is helping to teach Aelene to swim during this impromptu morning pool party at the tail end of her beloved mermaid’s date. It has already been a productive morning. Aelene and Harper were up early morning. The two of them said hi to a quiescent (but not sleeping) Honey, who gave the faintest of nods from her perch on the clamshell headboard in return. Harper handles leveling up Aelene and Honey. The high elf got an extra use of action surge and indomitable each. Honey got 5th level spells.

Harper makes a quick jaunt downstairs to reset Skye’s rope transformation (and let her know that she will handle breakfast for the date-going girls) and pick up something from Scarlet. Harper then plans out the levels she will take right before Josie’s date while doing her daily saltwater soak. She’ll end up getting 9th level spells. The pinnacle of spell casting for mortals. Plus she will pick up the spell mastery feature that lets her spam a couple specified spells and the Mage Slayer feat, mostly to stack some additional advantages and disadvantages for spell saves.

By the time Harper got out of the pool and started to cuddle into Daphne’s **** grip, the mermaid woke up, asking, “Pool time?”

So, Daphne playfully supervises Aelene’s backstroke as Harper gets breakfast assembled. And, she has a special treat for her beloved mermaid. “Breakfast!”

Honey is staring at her phone, drinking her smoothie, as she has been since she let go of the headboard. Aelene carries Daphne over to the table, her legs slowly reforming. Harper slides some coffee over to the mermaid, smirking.

“Ah, Beloved, what’s this?”

“Remember Sam gave you a bag of coffee? Well, I made some for you.”

“The not-salty enough black water? Well, it is a gift. I should try it as intended.” Daphne sips, then downs the whole glass as quickly as she could, exclaiming, “Wow! That is really good! Way better than the one you drink normally! I feel super jittery! That normal?”

Harper drinks some of the coffee she made for Daphne, trying to assure her, “Okay. I already knew coffee was only going to be a sometime thing for you, but that confirms it. Caffeine isn’t great for mermaids. I made it especially for you. Made seawater by adding 40 grams of bougie sea salt to a liter of water, then followed my cold brew method. The joy of Hotel magic meant it only took a few minutes instead of half a day. I could drink this. The fading human finds it super salty, but my elf-self thinks it’s fine.”

If Aelene was remotely interested in black cold brew (and she is not), the face she makes at the idea of using sea water to make coffee indicates that she isn’t interested now. She eats quietly, enjoying the silly latte the Hotel kitchen prepared for her.

Honey speaks up, “Ms. O’Connor, I have been terminated for incompetence. I presume I shall continue to represent you in legal matters?”

“I’m sorry, Honey, but yes.”

Honey’s antennae twitch. Honey pauses, then nods, “Very well, Ms. O’Connor. I appreciate your continued vote of confidence in my abilities.”

Breakfast wraps up. Daphne is bouncing off the walls, hurrying the group to see her new statue. Funnily enough, Honey’s statue is first. Golden Aelenes frame Honey as Harper’s phantom penis is shown plunging through the wasp-girl.

“Wow,” Daphne exclaims, entranced by the sight of the statue at the moment of Harper’s climax in the doggy(fish) position. “We look so pretty like this, Beloved! I like how big your egg sacs look!”

Harper chuckles. “Yeah, I like how your eggs sacs look, too. Honey, thoughts?”

“The statue is an adequate representation of you filling me as is right and proper for my mate, Mate.”

“I agree? You are not into art, are you?”

“The sensation of appreciating aesthetics is being ‘into art’? That is helpful information, Mate. I appreciate it.”

“You’re welcome.” Honey is still a little confusing.

At the bottom of the stairs, Daphne drags Harper to the Writer’s Room. She rings the bell, for a sleepy looking Zoe to float up. Some quick edits to a rejected vote transformation later, and Harper has her ability to access Battle Maps.

Daphne: -40 BP

She Goes Where No Ordinary Hoppalong Would Dare – Tina didn’t like the Bucky O’Hare reference, but it doesn’t bother Harper. Harper’s hair becomes utterly impervious to hair dye and illusion magic to hide her naturally luxurious sea foam green coloration. To compensate, Harper will also get a tactical view (Dungeon Mistress).

Harper closes her eyes and clicks on her new view. It’s like a real-time action RPG video game UI on the periphery of her vision. Daphne is in her “party”, with health and SP bars maxed, in the top left hand corner. There even looks like there is a slot for her summon, which is nice, and an indicator that Daphne is mildly hyper, labeled as her condition. This information is also displayed above Daphne’s head if Harper focuses on her. A mini-map is on the opposite corner. She can “click” to expand, seeing her other companions on it (mostly in the cafeteria). The top right hand corner displays her own health and SP pools. Bottom left has a turn order indicator, maybe? It’s a little hard to tell, given the situation.

“Happy, Beloved?”

“Yes. I think this will work. Thank you, Daph.”

Daphne gives Harper a kiss on the cheek, and she asks for her levels. 7th and 8th levels spells are selected. Master Transmuter is a cool capstone, but Daphne looks a little sad about it. She takes her Transmuter Stone back (after giving it to Harper way back before Vix’s last date), but says, “This is precious, Beloved. I don’t want to sacrifice it. I made it for you.”

Harper gives her beloved mermaid a hug. “It’s okay, Daph. You don’t have to use the feature if you don’t want to.”

“Thanks! Can I have some more coffee now?”

Sam and I might have created a monster.

Tina

“Hey, cuties! Over here!”

Harper and Daphne walk into the bathhouse, with maybe half an hour to spare before the morning meeting. It’s a perfect time to get more magic.

Harper already has her tablet thingy out. “Go ahead, Tina, what are we leveling this morning?”

Tina is super excited to grab a couple of sorceress levels. 5th level spells (finally), and a cool ability to double cast with twinned spell metamagic! And I got to pick the spells this time! I miss getting spells just for my act! Tina was responsible enough this time to take a cool new combat spell in Wall of Light, but she couldn’t resist some of the magic act goodies available.

Scarlet goes next. She gets 3 levels of her kicky class. She doesn’t look super excited by what she got. Apparently, her oread-ness already gave her a third of her stuff. She got a cool thing to let her spend her sexy energy thingy to try to resist effects and got another one of those feats to make her tougher.

Skye gets her 2 levels. It’s cool that she can now go invisible for a bit for free and she can turn a missed stab into another stab attempt. She gets a bit more HP and SP, too. She looks reasonably happy.

Mattie smirks after getting her levels. “I’m not losing another dorky archery competition now, Sarge.” Tina couldn’t keep up with everything Mattie got with her 3 gun blasty class levels. She did get Fireball, though, so that has to be good.

Glitterdust, who has been rubbing herself all morning, asks, “MY Harper, can you tell me three nice things I could do today?”

“Write apology notes to Mark and Andy and Sam.”

“Something else, please, MY Harper? Maybe something that involves ME buying you sexy anime statues?”

“Stop masturbating in front of me?”

“Sorry. Can’t until I come up with 3 nice things. Scarlet’s thing to help ME be less selfish.”

“I appreciate you wanting to do that, Glitter. Give me a bit while you tell me what you want for your levels.”

Harper writes Glitter a list of nice things she can do, which is nice. Glitter also gets 2 levels. She got a really cool spell called Psychic Scream and a feat to get her more range when she casts. That one sounds useful.

Josie bounds up last. “So, what do I get, old lady?”

Harper looks like she got hit in the gut as Josie’s couple of levels are applied. “So, your crits now deal quintuple damage and, between a new minimum roll and your modifier, you can’t fail a strength skill check anymore, including your attacks. Oof.”

“Hawt, old lady. Today is going to be super rad.”

Calypso

Showtime.

Calypso summons herself into the bathhouse, blasting through the staff tubes on a torrent of water. Sports coat pressed, tie strung between her massive breasts, teeth nice and pointy, she bows before her contestants for a couple more days.

“Good morning, Mistress and contestants, to another lovely day here at Harem Hotel. Our penultimate day, in fact. Last night, contestant Daphne did a very good night. Look how she vibrates in glee and a slight caffeine overdose. Good job! Unfortunately, you did not climb very high on the old leaderboard, but you couldn’t have planned on the contestants here throwing an orgy.”

“Still, everyone completed their quests, to at least some extent. So prizes. Daphne gets 50 XP to distribute for helping her Mistress find her place in your new world, plus a neat feat. Aelene gets a fun improvement to Ultimate Selfcest for overcoming her fear of the sound of children enough to keep a bunch of orphans from being zombified by a kraken horde. Let’s take a look. Irene, if you please?”

The disembodied screen displays Daphne’s new feat and Aelene’s new transformation upgrade:

Metamagic Adept: Daphne gains 2 metamagic options and 2 SP. Feat Selections:

• Careful Spell (1 SP): When Daphne casts a spell that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, she can protect some of those creatures from the spell’s full ****. She chooses a number of creatures up to her Intelligence modifier (currently: 3). Those creatures automatically succeeds on the saving throw.
• Transmuted Spell (Variable SP): When Daphne cast a spell that deals damage, she can spend 1 SP to change the damage type to one of the following listed types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, thunder. If the damage type is not on the list, she must spend 2 SP instead.

Ultimate Selfcest +1 – Aelene becomes sexually attracted to her own body, especially when she summons her Mirror Knight reflection. She will seek to use her reflection in sexual acts. When she does so, she gains 1 XP per other participant, or 2 XP for her Mistress. This XP increase is doubled if Aelene has two reflections up. Aelene can grant the XP to another member of the harem involved in the sex act if she has hit the level cap (Mirror Knight).

“Finally, both Honey and the Mistress earned their prizes for the same act. Honey got herself knocked-up and a fun new toy! Now, Harper, I understand not impregnating your other two girls, but you only get 30 XP to play with.”

Calypso waves her hand and a cloaca plug appears in Honey’s hands. Honey’s antennae twitch in excitement.

Calypso spins around, pointing her Host trident at Josie, “Speaking of group sex, today’s date is our final one, with the girl who started it all, our orgy-fueled super-wolf Josie! She has something special planned for you, Mistress. I hope you are looking forward to it.”

Tipping her hat up, she adds, “One more reminder. Our next morning meeting is our last before the final challenge. You need to spend your BP by then, for you will forfeit any remaining BP after that. Mistress, I get to spend whatever BP you have in your accounts, so you may want to get on that. I know contestant Daphne wanted to see you with size Q breasts; you might have enough BP to make that happen, if you don’t spend it by then.”

“So, unless you have anything else, my office is open if you need me. With that, I wish you all to enjoy your final day before your final challenge!”

Beckie: (Brain) Pop Survey Progress: +1

Harper: +40 BP (+20 BP earmarked for contestant modification)
