My name is Mary.

I own a dungeon.

Not by choice, mind you. I was forced into this when the previous owner placed a curse on me after I tried to audit him. Now I'm the ruler of this place.

And by my hand, this shall be a grand dungeon.

Demonologist quickly sets up the bar. Thankfully most of the minions are already there, having their roles set by Mary. The place has some nice tavern music playing in the background. When Arcane enters she spins around as if showing off the place to her audience.

"Wow! Wow! Look at this magifans! The atmosphere is lovely! I can smell soup cooking in the background and everything looks like it should be here! This is why Slimecrown is the hottest place to be!

Ah, wait wait I forgot, gotta be in character! Okay, magifans get ready for some RP! I'll have some OOC moments but I'll be sure to let you know by doing an Arcane Special Wink!

Okay, in character in... Now!"

Everyone politely pretends to ignore her monologue.

"A bar, it looks like. Hmm, let's see what this lady over here is looking at..."

"Excuse me, miss?" Arcane approaches Alex, "What are you looking at so intently?"

Alex turns around, looking quite intense in her full armor and demonic form.

"This? This is a job board. We Adventurers take quests here and sometimes even hire parties of others to go with people. I'm actually looking for some members to form a party."

"Really? What kind of quests are there?"

"Erhm-"

Alex is panicking. She is desperately pinging the dungeon master for what kind of jobs there are.

...

We should make some quests then.

There are undead rising and periodically attacking the town, find out why and try to stop it.

There's the spooky corruption altering critters in the forest and creeping towards the farm, either save the farm or head direct to the forest.

I like the Hoodlums busting Bandit outta jail as a quest idea.

Also, Kobolds have been causing a bit of a ruckus near the springs. They haven't hurt anyone yet but they are gathering in worrying numbers and not letting anyone close. Rumour has it that a dragon emerged from the citadel and has taken up residence there, so they've started serving it (Investigation shows it's just the gummy wyrm, docile while the kobolds can provide food, but they don't have supplies forever)

Alternatively, what >>1061233 suggests.
Trading quest-chain that takes you to each of the main areas and the main denizens there. Get food from the farm, but the farmer needs spring water to bless their crops, but the kobold/harpy alliance needs the spring to nest in since the woods are being terrorized by Chaos Mites, The only way to remove the Chaos Mites is to get into the Ruins and the only way to enter the ruins is to uncurse the barrier with help from the Church. Get these items from around town to perform the ritual, and meet the townspeople.
THEN
>Enter the ruins, remove the source of the Chaos Mites, get the Kobolds&Harpies to vacate the Springs, bless the farm, and give the fruit&veg to Soup Slime.

>Also ping Alex telling her that Mary is out of commission and she will need to roll with things herself more than usual.

Alex acknowledges the ping with a short nod.

The posters, which were mostly just gibberish, suddenly reveal a few quests for Arcane to take.


"W-well, there's a bunch on the wall. Just take a look. See if anything catches your eye."

Arcane reads through the posters, nodding as she goes along.

"Wow there's such a variety! Let's see... What would be the most fun to watch... Hmm... This one!"

She pulls one of the posters off. It mentions that the Hoodlums are causing a bit of trouble and an adventurer is needed to deal with them.

"Ah, yes, that's correct."

"Great! Maybe you and I can team up! What do you say, magifans!? Should the girl with the cute eyebrows and I make a team and take on some hoodlums!?

Vote now!"

"W-wha..?"

Well, while that's going on what should we have the hoodlums be doing?

They're a relatively new species of demon so we can decide on their general behaviors and actions. I know they're meant to buff things but let's focus a bit on their narrative actions.

Let's see. It and the fairy are the main denizens of the woods. Maybe they've been stealing McCreedy's laundry and/or the wool from the battering rams. If the group investigates, they find they are using the extra material to build something.

If we want to incorporate the Gummywyrm, have it either be a net to capture it while they steal an egg or have it be to make a nest for an already pilfered egg.
>>
No. 1061328 ID: a7a180

Hoodlums lurk in alleyways defacing walls and any unsuspecting hosts they can snag with colorful drawings. They sometimes like to hang out on clotheslines pretending to be laundry until someone walks underneath. An encounter with a Hoodlum usually consists of them pickpocketing an adventurer then running away to a prepared ambush like dumping a bucket of slime on their head or a tripwire.

Copy post from Chapter 10.5:

>Next, Mary has the gang create some creatures to fill in the hamlet. All of them have been reduced by one rune, though the total still represents how tough they can be.

>She creates:

Hoodlum - A cloth based demon that can harass others for simple pranks. Can also combine with other demons to power them up. Two runes.

Salamander - A creature that is known for being stubborn but mighty. These can be used for simple tasks. Two were created. Two runes.

Scarecrow x3 - Protectors of the farmland. Something seems off about one... Two runes.

Battering Ram - Bred for their sheer fluff volume, but quite ornery. Two runes.

Sprout - A young plant slime who works at the farm. Two runes.

Old Creedy - A wood demon that runs the farm. Old but still quite strong. Three runes.

Chaos Creatures - A bunch of corrupted monsters. Can be surprisingly powerful. Two runes.

Aspen - A new healer, setting up in the fountain. Similar to Ashley but their personalities are not the same. Three runes.

Zombies x2- A decently tough fight, inhabits the graveyard typically. Two runes.

>Due to the reduction these cost a total of 16 runes, leaving Mary with none.

Yeah I like the idea that Hoodlums are kinda cowardly and more of a nuisance than anything on their own doing just vandalism, petty thievery and pranks, however when they have the upper hand or have the opportunity to boost up a wearer they suddenly become all bravado and tough talk.
Hence they are only really dangerous when they have a leader.

Typical street punk/gang behaviour and personalities.

thanks.

could have the quest be that the hoodlums are just pulling pranks around town, try to pull one or two on the party, and when the party gives chase they run away. Right into an ambush. Could have them run to the church since that's right on the northern edge of town and have some zombies and whatnot jump out. Than when the party take about half of them down have the hoodlums use their fuse power to join with whatever monsters are left to make them a bit tougher.

This should give us an idea on how strong the streamer is as well as how she plays since we still don't know her stream's gimmick yet.

Demonologist sets the hoodlums to just cause some general mischief in the farm. As the pieces get set, Arcane's poll ends. She wraps an arm around Alex.

"Alright, magifans! You've spoken! The qt-pi is coming with us!"

"Uwaawawawa...."

=================================================

The pair arrive at the farm. Sprout approaches them, looking very distressed.

"(I'm so glad you came. Are you here for the quest?)" Sprout asks in slimish.

"We are!" Arcane confirms.

"(Thank goodness...)" She gestures to the fields. "(The hoodlums have stolen our signs, poked our animals, and took Creedy's walking stick. They have to be stopped!)"

"That's what we're here for! Now, if I were a hoodlum, where would I be..."

She scans the area looking for any signs of them.

Arcane seems to change. She draws out a weapon and her stats fluctuate wildly before settling down again. She's stronger, faster, but more rash.

She does a dramatic pose for an unseen audience.


"This attack has been sponsored by YUM!" She shouts before readying her weapon.

Interesting.

Okay so, we should try and decide what the hoodlum does, yes? It does its best work when being used to buff others and right now there's only battering rams around.

Also uhm... We should give Alex orders? I have no idea how to command people... Mary wouldn't mind if we decide these things without her, right?

Alex is a demon that can be left to her own discretion. Tell her to follow Arcane’s requests and to just herd the sheep to Arcane by default.
The hoodlum should start a stampede! Then use the ram’s voice to call for help from other animals.

Can you mentally flag Arcane’s name as “Dora”, class “Explorer”? It’s just a reference from my world, she reminds me a lot about them right now.

Given the stat changes, I’m going to bet she wants to ride the ram. Have it charge around in semi-predictable patterns to coax her into that decision, then have the hoodlum try snatching control of her when she tries landing on it. Hoist by her own petard, in theory. The stream would probably enjoy Alex swooping in to save their magical maiden or whatever.

As for Alex, tell her to support Dora and have fun. You can also tell her to goad/stop Dora from jumping on the ram as she sees fit. I expect both options would be heard by the stream and they’d call for riding it though.

Probably a good time to remind ourselves to place YUM chests throughout the run. Other than that, I'd say that Hoodlums should get stronger the more cloth fibers they absorb, and currently, this one is right in the middle of a bunch of prime targets.

Strategy:
> The battering ram being controlled bleats for help from the other rams, who attack.
> The hoodlum uses this opportunity to grab threads on the remaining rams and begins unraveling their coats as it makes its escape.
> Arcane will likely chase it right into a trap that it's set up, maybe a hoe left on the ground for an inconspicuous whammy or one of the signs set up to do the same.
> Alex can save the rams by slicing the threads feeding the creature to assist, but its next target is the clothes lines.
> If it gets there, it briefly tries to entangle the group before beating a retreat into the woods.

Strategy of setting off a stampede and running if things get tough sounds good to me.

Far as abilities go, the Hoodlum's Dark rune and general roguishness make me think the ability to slip into and out of shadows would be fitting. Basically just be mobility/stealth focused to steal things from adventurers and get away if they aren't buffing someone, or attempt to set up sneak attacks if they are.

For the Rams, to me their Force rune just screams 'High knockback' on attacks, though I'd also like to suggest them being able to absorb/store physical force into their fluff and then releasing it as a big attack. Make actually hitting them a bad idea since they're not supposed to be the main target.

>>1061691
Good point, the battering rams being ornery means they probably only need the slightest excuse to join in with fighting Arcane, who naturally doesn't want to hurt the sheep she came here to save...

Until she lost a buncha int and wis anyway, hmm, Alex might need to uh, gently remind her of that before/mid fight.

Oh and while I know there's only one, that Ram in the jacket made me think of some form of 'two short creatures stacked up in a coat' though we'd probably also need 2 Hoodlum for the right coverage.
But heck, why just become taller when you can become weirder, I suggest after some fighting is done, a pair of Hoodlums nab a pair of Rams and intertwine lengthwise basically making a clothing tube with a ram head at each end, forming the mighty Amphisbaaena.

Just a quick reminder, since it's been a month and some change since the start of the thread, you can support the author on Ko-fi, if you've got the means: https://ko-fi.com/calalen

I want to avoid giving it a real phase two sort of ability. It is a young and inexperienced demon, so let us see what it can do on its own.

Demonologist orders Alex to provide backup. But not too much backup.

Arcane leaps in her with lollipop attack. The unusual weapon swings in a powerful arc. But, before it can connect, a force screeches as it holds the weapon in place and then repels it. Arcane is sent flying from the blowback.

Alex runs in to grab her. The Hoodlum has its ram host make a terrifying bleat. The rest of the battering rams go into a frenzy and begin to run around the area.

Each time Arcane is about to land on them their force powers propel her back upwards. She's juggled in the air for a while with Alex looking on helplessly.

Arcane yelps and cries out each time she's knocked about. The viewership skyrockets. There's a glint in her eyes.


"Thanks for the subs! Let's keep those numbers up, magifans! With your support... I CAN WIN!"

She twirls in the air and lands on the ground, away from the stampeding rams. With a gesture she conjures a massive YUM! candy.

Another gestures has it crashing down. The Hoodlum looks up in shock and tries to repel the attack.

But the weight of it is too much. The force barrier creaks, then cracks, then shatters.

I see.

I think her powers are based on how... Entertaining she is? I noticed she was barely taking any damage during the whole 'getting tossed around' thing. Interesting.

So the more exciting we make the fight the more powerful she is?

Arcane is approached by Sprout. The slime thanks her, in her own tongue, and says that she's saved the farm!

"All in a days' work, little one~ I hope that weird cloth monster never troubles you again."

Ah, a reward. What would Mary give?

We do have the YUM! chests so maybe I can have Sprout direct her to-

"Demonologist?"

She turns and sees a still very unhealthy looking Mary at the door

"I heard an explosion. Is everything alright..? Wait, is there a dungeon run going on..?"

oh no.

Item: Either something force ram related, or something Hoodlum related.
ie: Hoodlum Hood: Increases stealth stat minorly, greatly when in presence of Hoodlums.>>1062240
oh no, send her back to bed.
...alternatively we could send her back to bed and mary can watch the stream.

There is nothing to worry about. All is well. Tell her this and then to go back to bed.

As for rewards: A Yum chest that they found lying around in one of their barns, a pair of battering ram horns of her own. Gives good defense and a forceful headbutt attack. Collect all three items to be transformed into a wooly faun.

CITADEL STAFF. We have a code M. I repeat, we have a Code M.

String-slimes and Comfy slimes. Please report to the DM room to restrain Mary using the Burrito-blanket method according to the minion guide.

Artificer, Please craft up some Ear-muffs and eye-masks with String and Comfy runes in order to ensure Mary's comfort!

This was a pretty easy quest. We shouldn't reward them too much. Lets save the larger rewards for the larger risks.

Reassure Mary everything's under control. Standard solo run of the dungeon. And this isn't your first time keeping things running while she's been unavailable.

Also, if she's not quite tired, maybe a soak in the spa might be good.

As for items, with this being a farm with sheep, how about an animated sash or scarf? Could even say it's had fibers from the slain hoodlum woven into it.

tell marry to go back to bed and rest. A adventurer got cued in before we could shut down the dungeon for the day but it's only a solo run so we're just running them through a standard dungeon run before sending them on their way. So far things have been going fine as they're just exploring and doing small quest outside of the castle, nothing that she needs to involve herself with since she IS sick and NEEDS bedrest.

as for a reward for the adventurer... how bout some coins... or dungeon tokens and a map that leads to the YUM chest?

Hoodie made out of a hoodlum. Enhances knockers when struck by a critical hit, negating it twice per day and granting temporary hit points, but reduces Agility and Attack Rolls by -1 until temporary hit points are gone.

Oh yeah, the knockers count as offhand weapons, despite not actually needing to be held, and do 2d4 dice worth of damage for Rare, 2d6 for Very Rare, and 2d8 for Legendary.

Hoodlum Hoodie -- A slightly cursed Hoodie bearing the will of a hoodlum; as it can no longer prank others it has to do so to its wearer unless they can stave off its boredom through other means. Gives a major boost to stealth as well as to a few other stats, though the other boosts are random.

Ram Hoodie -- A wool hoodie made to resemble a Battering Ram. Raises resistance to physical attacks and X times per day can Floof Up, blocking incoming attacks and knocking back anyone close with a burst of Force.

>>1062240
Yeah, just reassure her and send her back to bed. Normally I'd say there would be no harm in letting her watch but I suspect seeing the viewer count might make her freak out a bit.

how about... a Bounce Beanie
A comfy hat of battering ram wool, once per day it can heavily reduce the damage of an incoming attack, but the wearer is subject to knockback proportional to the damage prevented.
*the hat grants no protection against any harm potentially caused by this bounce itself.

The hoodlum was pretty much annihilated, or at least turned into a band-aid by the bludgeoning.
Her reward should be a Hoodlum Scarf: A spiteful stat boosting accessory. It augments your combos by increasing melee damage after a ranged attack, your toughness after a spell, and vice all the versas.

Tell her the dungeon wasn't officially closed so you didn't want to turn them away. It's fine, you're just doing a standard run, nothing fancy. A new adventurer showed up, one that gets stronger when the fight is entertaining. Which I suppose means she stands a good chance of clearing the dungeon; we've designed it to be entertaining.

So. Ideas on how to integrate Arcane's stream:
Chat Trolls: Random slimes start appearing depending on what sort of subs we've got.

Order Chat vs Chaos Chat?

>I think her powers are based on how... Entertaining she is?
It could also be that she really is strong, but purposefully holds back as part of the “entertainment”. A tanky character leaves room to get beat up and stage a comeback, which is entertaining since it shows off the enemies before their eventual defeat.

Yum-branded battering ram mask that is part of a YUM-branded set sounds good.

As for Mary, yes it’s a dungeon run and they’re having fun. It’s not Raid mode so none of us are required to make an appearance unless Mary wants to go out there and play the part of a sick traveler with a small sidequest to find some medicine for her.

Give her an Alex body pillow

She thinks Alex is cute(she is) and it would be good advertising. I'm sure the viewers would enjoy it

Body pillows and their ilk are expensive token buys to give them a reason to come back. Give the streamer a few tokens.

Yeah, I agree. Give her some tokens for the easy quest.

When she gets to the shop, I'm sure her audience is going to vote on what she should buy.

>stream integration?
Is there a system already in place for that? Because if it doesn't exist, we might not be able to do anything to beyond just watching the stream vote for what the streamer should do.

Also, I feel like we'd need to literally hijack an already active stream to even try to add that and I don't think the streamer would like us hacking her systems like that.

Get a license for and play copyrighted music. Not actually.

Don't panic or try to hide anything. Don't try to force Mary back to bed. It will only worry her more.

If Mary insists on staying for the rest of the run it's probably best to acquiesce, but suggest that you stay in charge and she returns to bed afterwards.

As for a reward, the reward should be local to the hamlet. Tokens are mainly used in Citadel. Perhaps something farm related, to make it more personal from those she helped.

If we just tell her to go and sleep, she will just lie there in bed. Eyes wide open and imagining everything that could go wrong. I propose we just let her sleep in the control room or put a spare screen on her bed.

I agree with Mary watching. As for the reward, I suggest a slimecrown citadel branded hoodie from freshly sheared battering ram wool
