A reddish-orange slug sticks her head out of a stone doorway that Ahpin never had the chance to explore. “Eh? You guys are leaving right?”

“Yep, heading out.” Ahpin says.

“Good. Apparently another adventuring party was just sent in after the people who came in yesterday morning. Poor Dusty is real stressed.”

>>1010468
Does she need our help? Anything I can do?

>>1010468
I am more than a little tempted to tell them that it isn't worth it.

Aphin: Offer to tell the other party that it isn't worth it, but don't commit to anything more.

Maddie: Stay out of sight until the other party is out of the way. You didn't get rescued just to get potentially murked by 'friendly fire'

Ahpin, offer the Chuck egg to Dusty to take care of, ask her to call you when it hatches in the future. Should make up for the egg she lost and prevents Chuck from becoming an eldritch

“Let’s go help her. The adventurers I was with earlier said they’d send people in after me but they didn’t know Dusty’s pissed about the whole egg theft thing.” Ahpin explains.

Maddie hesitates. “What if they see me and freak out?”

Ahpin thinks for a moment. “The hallway’s pretty narrow, so I can walk in front and make sure everything’s cool before you go in.

They set off towards the echoing voices. Ahpin rounds the final bend to see Bob from Nun’ya Business getting wacked in the face by Dusty’s magic feather duster. The other nuns aren’t there, but Rhine is clinging to Dusty’s free arm licking mana off his paws.

>>1010493
Okay this guy you can punch and he definitely deserves it.

Bob say you found Vivian. Dust tell Ahpin how Rhine's doing. Maddie, be unimpressed by Bob.

I'll go with my original suggestion here: >>1010492

Except leave out the eldrich part out, we might offend Bob. Make sure to get Dusty your number to call you when it's hatching time.

>>1010493
Ahpin warn Dusty about Maggie, like you should. Also, inquire about eggs after things calm down.
Dusty be weirded out by Maggie.
Maggie shrug.
Bob be extremely amused by Maggie's plight, and get whacked by Dusty some more.

other nuns: have fled.

Rhine: forgive your pappy.

Rhine: Wonder about how deceptive life is as you harden into an egg.
Vivian: Regret life choices and punch wall.

Oh right, another avenue we could pursue regarding Vivian is sprites. They literally suck out mana through a needle. Inject some back in!

Rhine: it's always been "mana this" and "mana that" since you came of age yeaterday, and frankly you're sick of it. Who wants to be a big dumb egg anyway? Sex is apparently some big deal for dad's people like becoming an egg is for yours, and HE seems to be doing fine without it. Screw all that noise, you're gonna be a changeling forever!

“Hey, there he is.” Bob says, “Easiest hundred rollad of my life.”

“You were only paid 100 rollad to—fucking adventurers.” Dusty turns to see Ahpin, who tugs at his scarf nervously. Rhine buries his face against the spirit’s chest and refuses to meet Ahpin’s eye.

“You and your friends can go now.” Dusty gestures for Ahpin to join the eldritch.
“Where’s Vivian?” Ahpin asks.

“Amy and Joey are with her at the entrance. New anti-mortal ward keeps people out but not me.” Bob cackles.

“We’re leaving, but I have a few things to explain first.” Ahpin addresses Rhine, whose ears twitch to show he’s listening. “I’m really sorry for grabbing you and putting you in danger. I could see that you were scared but I wasn’t thinking and I hurt you.”

“’s okay.” Rhine mutters.

Dusty sniffs. “Rhine will stay here. He isn’t in a hurry to change but I see the other one has turned into an egg, which means he trusts you enough to take care of him. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt one last time.”

“Thanks. I appreciate it. Um, also one of the adventurers who came in earlier killed an elemental and bonded with its core and she’s waiting behind me—”

“I want to see this!” Bob interrupts with a grin.

Maddie carefully steps into the small foyer, silver arm stretched behind her to hold the bodies.

“Eugh.” Dusty says. “That’s not natural.”

“I love it.” Bob says, clasping its tendrils together.

Maddie considers Bob. “You’re one of the nuns, aren’t you? Me and Amy go back, I thought she didn’t do dungeon gigs.”

“She was very drunk at the time.” Bob says. “Let’s get out of here so we can get back to the Nutz while Winks is still paying for booze.”

“Yes, please leave.” Dusty shoos Bob towards the exit.

“Bye, stay safe.” Ahpin tells Rhine, then follows Bob into the entry tunnel.

Everybody: sing and dance to the tune of Nobody Knows It to celebrate the conclusion of this great adventure!

Toilet: plot twist, you were a mimic the whole time, but you want to just chill and hang out at the Nutz with the others and follow them.

The faucet of the first floor sink spills its unending stream of pure water. Motes dance across the surface of the white marble.
The tank of the toilet flickers and gains a pair of pixilated green eyes.

“Ah, dat was an interesting visit.” Silicon says to itself. “I wonder what will happen to the girl on de surface.”

It flushes the toilet and watches the water swirl into the bowl.

“Dey didn’t even ask why I was closing de mana vents. Silly adventurers.”

Bob sings a cheerful sounding song in a language that hurts to hear while the cool colored crew treks towards the dim opening in the sky.

“I missed wind. And the smell of plants is really good too.” Ahpin says as a breeze blows through his hair bringing the scent of a grass and dust.

Maddie helps them up to ground level and then heaves herself up to the rocky field on the edge of a full sunset.

“That was really fast.” Amy burps. The shark and chinchilla are sprawled on one of the boulders, a radiant lantern between them. At the sight of Ahpin and Maddie, Vivian jumps to her feet in shock from where she was sitting on the ground.

>>1010616

Vivian: Punch Aphin and goad him, say come on, fight me, im fucking pissed, your safe, you have your *fucking girlfriend* and im pissed I have no mana so fucking fight me or I'll feel like shit forever.

Maddie: try to intervene but Aphin stops you

Everyone else look on knowingly and slightly sadly.

Someone: explain the situation with the dungeon to the outside world

>>1010616
Maddie: Ponder how you can try to restore Vivian's mana.

Ahpin: Introduce Maddie and explain that one of the elementals said the she became a half god somehow.

Vivi: hug Aphin, mad as you are you were scared he'd die alone.

Ahpin flinches as Vivian runs towards him. "Sorry." he says instinctually and squeaks when the kobold socks him in the stomach. It's a weak punch, but Vivian follows up with the devastating headbutt to his diaphragm.

"I thought you were going to die alone." she sobs against his chest. "But of course you're here and you got your fucking girlfriend and everything's fine but I still don't have my mana and I feel like shit."

Ahpin gently pats Vivian on the back while Bob reports to Amy and Joey.

"We need to report that this dungeon is officially closed to mortals. There's a silicon elemental in there who's over 400 years old and they've been using other metals to build machinery." the eldritch says, surprisingly serious.

"I'll go to the guild office tomorrow." Joey glances at Maddie, who carefully lays her friends' bodies on the ground.

Maddie shrinks her silver arm to a normal size, takes Vivian's hands in her own, and drops to one knee.

"You helped Ahpin through the dungeon when no one else would. I'd be crying in the dark still if it wasn't for you. I have elemental powers now and more mana than I know what to do with. Please, will you let me try to restore yours?"

Vivian's lip quivers. "Okay."

How does Maddie transfer mana to Vivian?
-A chaste kiss
-A tight hug
-Vigorous boning

snug

A not-chaste kiss. The symbolism is important.

>>1010699
They gotta bone, Aphin needs to look super uncomfortable one last time.

VIGOROUS Boning

They HAVE to bone, best way to transfer mana. Plus like you HAVE to make it both awkward for Aphin and rewarding for Vivian.

Bone zone? Yes. Also seeing Aphin get hit for being dumb turned her on. She doesen't NEED to do it and only says that after they're done, but she WANTS to do it, y'know, test out the body, etc, reward the lass who helped him out

chaste kiss, you monsters

Vigorous boning

Chaste kiss, the exclusive cat Is watching.

>>1010713
He doesn't own them and I'm not sure he'd care anyway. Fuckin' go to town on her, I assume that's the best way.

Maddie gently pulls Vivian to a soft patch of grass. The women kneel across from each other and Vivian runs her hand through Maddie’s hair.

“10 rollad they start fucking.” Amy whispers to Ahpin.

“What? They’ve never met, I think that’s a little fast to be—“

Maddie kisses Vivian and their bodies glow silver. The kobold puts her hands tentatively on Maddie’s bare chest and squeezes.

“You’re a cute thing.” Maddie breathes, tracing one of Vivian’s horns. The kobold blushes and spreads her legs shyly. Maddie smoothly lowers herself between Vivian’s legs and uses her long tongue to lick along the kobold’s thigh. The glow brightens.

Vivian whimpers and lies back on the grass while Maddie starts eating her out. The dog curls her fingers into Vivian’s wet hole while bumping her clit with her long snout.

Ahpin watches for a moment, then turns away.

“Yup, still ace.” he says to nobody in particular.

How do Maddie and Vivian finish?

Fireworks.

>How do Maddie and Vivian finish?

With a very respectful handshake, and a thank you and you're welcome for Vivian gaining her Mana back.

Silver bullets, chief.

By UZAK Aphin's sister showing up and giving us a retelling of the ending.

Maddie steals Vivian's silver-tinted glasses and stares into her eyes.

The air crackles with energy as Vivian leans back on her hands and lets out a cry. The flames from her mouth explode above her like fireworks, red tinged with bright silver accents.

"I can feel it!" The kobold summons a shower of sparks from her claw tips. "It's a little different, but that's fine, thank you so much!"

Maddie pushes herself to a sitting position and extends her hand. Vivian takes it, slightly confused.

"No homo." the dog says with a wink.

Vivian and Maddie laugh and talk the whole way back to the gate station, where everyone goes their separate ways. Ahpin is content to watch them, though he gives Maddie a pat on her shoulder when it’s time for him to go.

He gently puts his bag on the floor once he gets home, tucks Chuck into a cardboard box lined with pillows and blankets, and enjoys an order of takeout while stretching his sore feet.

Nothing can ruin this evening, which is the cue for Ahpin's phone to buzz.

There are several messages from Cepha, asking why he's missing from work, a reply from Eldoon, and at the top, a text from his dad.

Dad: Can you check on your little sister? I haven't heard from her in a while.
