The Room at the End of the Hall

After some discussion, the group decided to head to the central door at the end of the hall. After checking to make sure they were properly dressed and had their gear, the party made their way to the decided doorway. All the ladies were in agreement, Jonah would be in the middle of the group on the way to the next chamber. He wasn’t as amused by his position than the ladies seemed to joke about.

Jonah was amusingly between the twins on the way to the next room, Ulnarka and Ariana were up front and Molsalkisa brought up the rear. The doorway was just big enough for the dino women to pass through with little to no issue. The doors were each a different kind of wood, with the one they were stepping through seemed to be made from palm wood, with the one to the left looking like some kind of pine and the one on the right seeming to be some kind of cherry wood. The following room was a surprise, in more ways than anticipated, and everyone had suspicions that be the case going further.

After entering the room, everyone spread out and took a cursory look. The room was around twenty-five feet from the wall on their left to the wall on their right, from the door they entered from to the wall on the far side of the room seemed to be around sixty-five feet, the ceiling seemed to be about almost fifty feet above their heads. The room itself seemed to harbor three dozen bowls on pedestals at about Jonah’s chest height all around the walls of the room. There didn’t seem to be any doors leading out, and they all heard the sound of the door they came through drifting into the realm of being a non-option. In the center of the room they could see a fountain seemed almost twice as big as Ulnarka, but for some reason, this fountain was pretty vague in its form, and they could all tell it was a fountain at a glance, but that’s about it.

On their cursory look, Jonah, Marsha, Ulnarka, and Ariana noticed a metallic plaque on the fountain; Jonah noticed that it was actually made from Platinum, chances were someone would want to make off with the plaque after he let them know, the ladies didn’t seem to notice anything. Jonah decided to take charge of the situation, “I’ll check on the plaque to see what it says and inspect the fountain, you ladies inspect bowls.”

“That sounds likes a plan,” said Marsha, “how about we all meet up at the fountain after we finish our inspection.”

“Agreed,” said Molsalkisa. With that, the ladies all spread out to inspect the bowls while Jonah approached the fountain structure. For some reason it was less distinct at a distance but got more defined as he approached the fountain. As he grew closer to the fountain, it to the form of a semicircular fountain with the gargoyle-like fixtures that are positioned to release the water into each of the dishes of the fountain, looking like some very well-endowed women of various fantasy species. He saw what he guessed were varieties Human-ish species, Gnomes, what he guessed was some kind of overtly human-like bird people, anthropomorphic house cat-like ladies, anthropomorphic lionesses, what looked like humanoid dragon ladies, anthro wolf ladies, what looked like female satyrs, anthropomorphic otter ladies, what he guessed were some kind of fairies, some of the figures resembled some of the women he was with, a few other dinosaur woman varieties were also their to be seen, some well-proportioned Minotaur women, some of the prettiest orc women he had ever seen to the point only the overtly erotic sexy orc hentai he had seen came close to their attractive figures, some sexy centaur women, some kinky goblins, voluptuous hobgoblins, what looked like some more erotic Arachne than he had seen before, a few busty shark women, some voluptuously figured fox women, some erotically buxom horse women, anthropomorphic tanuki ladies, voluptuous rabbit women, surprisingly kinky hippo ladies, extra well-endowed and voluptuous elephant women, voluptuous otter ladies, and that’s when he stopped trying to figure out all the species options on the fountain; all their extra large busts were being thrust out with their backs arched both forward and backward in alternating patterns among all the different kinds of women. He decided to focus on the plaque to see if it had any actual clues; inspecting the plaque, Jonah read the phrase “The Fluid of life born of blood that is not blood itself must flow of the fountain here.” He would be surprised he could read the script if it had not been for the dino women showing him sample script before this point and find the “Common” language’s script was close enough to the English characters he and the twins had grown up to the point they could read it with little to no issue.

While Jonah was inspecting the fountain, the ladies were looking over the bowls. The women noticed there were 3 for each of them to inspect. Marsha found a black fluid that reminded her of the descriptions of raw petroleum she had heard and read about, a white fluid that her inspection proved itself to be coconut milk, and a surprisingly clear blue liquid that had a bit of a grainy look to it that looked and smelled like salt water. Molsalkisa found a greenish yellow fluid that had a bit of viscosity to it that her inspection showed itself to be some kind of olive oil by its scent and taste along with appearance, a blue fluid that flowed a bit too freely when the bowl was slightly disturbed that had the scent of rain in a thunderstorm that recognized as Thundering Rain Solution and almost got excited due to only reading about it up until that point, and the third bowl she inspected seemed to have nothing in it but kind of shimmered when it sloshed that she immediately recognized as an invisibility potion. The first bowl Trisha inspected had what looked and smelled like a more fluid tree sap than she was familiar with, what looked like liquid metal but smelled pine on a Christmas outing, and reddish green liquid that smelled like a sort of wine she was unfamiliar with. The first bowl Ulnarka inspected looked like some kind of blue-purple color that had the smell and feel of weapon oil, the second bowl she inspected had a greenish white fluid-like substance that smelled of coconuts and felt like liquid sandpaper which was something that reminded her of talks of liquid cleaning substances she had heard Molsalkisa talk at her a few times, and the third bowl had what looked like some kind of semi-liquid blue goop that had an acidic scent to it that made her not want to touch it. The first bowl that Ariana inspected looked and smelled like fresh Minotaur milk (tasted that way too when she used her magic to lift a sample and bring it to her mouth), the second bowl she inspected had a copper-looking liquid that smelled of palm wood she was unfamiliar with, and the third bowl had what looked like a pale yellow liquid that had a pungent yet calming scent to it that she was unfamiliar with.

“So,” Marsha called over to Jonah, “what does the plaque say?”

“It gave a riddle about bodily fluids,” called Jonah back, “I think the answer the is Milk. Which of you ladies found some kind of milk?”

“I found some coconut milk,” Marsha called back, “but that comes from plants, and I’m guessing isn’t the answer you’re looking for.”

“I found a bowl of Minotaur milk,” called Ariana, “I’m guessing that’s the best option we got here.”

“Okay, bring the Minotaur Milk over to the fountain,” said Jonah, and feel free to grab any of the bowls that caught your interest as the treasure from the room. Molsakisa, do you think you have enough empty bottles and vials on hand for most of the liquid everyone decides they want to bring along with them?”

Molsalkisa did a quick check of her bag and said, “Maybe, I’m not sure, but I hope so.” As she did that, Ariana brought over the bowl of Minotaur Milk while the rest of the party looked over the bowls and made decisions on what they wanted to make off with. After Molsalkisa said her piece, Ariana got close enough to the fountain to better make out the design and nearly couldn’t stop herself from laughing hysterically and spilling the bowl all over the floor.

After reaching the fountain, Ariana poured the bowl into the fountain. After a few moments of the bowl being emptied into the fountain, milk started flowing all through the fountain, the figures on the fountain all pouring the milk out from their large nipple protrusions into the dish they were facing. After a moment of the milk flowing through fountain, the fountain slid to the side to reveal a set of stair leading down, while continuing to keep the milk flowing.

The rest of the ladies spent a few minutes filling some bottles and vials with the liquids they decided they wanted to bring along before packing everything up and the party making its way down the stairs, everyone got a few handfuls of the flowing milk and took a few drinks of it for kicks and giggles before heading down the stairs.
