The Chosen is a girl named Iora. Trained by her town to fight the demons, she enters the warp in reality where the land of the living is being consumed by underworld.
No earthly weapons will affect the fiends. She must fight with her bare hands, unless she can find a weapon of supernatural origin to slay the beasts.

The periphery of the should be relatively safe for now. She may use it as a base camp for to further the rift.

Hey, 7 voted for male, 6 for female, 1 for neuter! Also, what exactly are you supposed to do? Stay and protect? Go kill demons? What?

while weapons cannot harm them they may be able to distract. throw a dagger at them and they may flinch letting you get a solid blow it.

anyway since it's too late for that, start setting up the camp and making small traps, key would be to make loud enough noise that you can tell something is coming.

Oh bugger, I know where this is going. Can we get some earthly ARMOR? Some boots? A TENT?

Seriously, do our people DESERVE our protection? It's pretty blatantly obvious we're some kind of sacrifice to the demons.

"No Earthly Weapons will affect them. So strip naked, cover yourself in barbeque sauce, and go perform a singing and dancing routine about how stupid they are in front of the demons."

Seriously. Fuck our people. Let's ditch these bastards to the demons and go to Tijuana.

Iora sets up a campfire to keep away any beasts while she ponders what to do. Saving the world is a vague goal and she is not sure how to accomplish that just yet. For now, exploring the surroundings and getting her bearings may be wise and she might get the opportunity to smite a few demons to get a feel for her destined calling in life.

>> 395056

Spontaneously turn into a man due to demonic magic.

take a flaming stick as a torch. throwing fire in the eyes is a great distraction for just about anything. will make it flinch letting you get a solid blow. so explore with burning stick.

>>395056
Well, I figure you gotta set up where you gonna sleep for the night. Look for some wood so you can get a fire going. Also, what do you have with you right now? Any rations, any armour, anything?

>>395072
Welp. Since Tijuana apparently isn't an option anymore, I suppose we should get this over with.

Look behind that boulder behind you, create a perimeter, take stock of suitable local vines or easily woven branches, and think about the fact that any demons you may encounter might have thought to have a shield, or a sword, or a blunt stick with spikey bits on and how to avoid horrible death.

>>395074
Sticks don't last long. You want to dip some rags in a slow-burning substance and then wrap it around the stick.

>>395074
Well, that's a pretty decent idea. A weapon and a souce of light.

>>395076
if they are immune to all damage they wont bother with armor or shields, weapons maybe.

>>395079
They aren't immune to all damage. Just all damage from non-magical, non-natural weapons.

Climb a tree. Maybe you can spot something from up there.

>>395079
Another thing, if they're immune to all damage, can't they just ignore us and walk past us?

Did your tribe even teach you any real fighting? Kick a tree branch apart. If you can't handle demon trees, you can't handle demons. While you kick, list your abilities. That you are absolutely certain aren't lies.

Well, weapons might not work, but what about armor?

Corruption of Champions quest? I'm game. Make a camp, then go Explore until you find a Lake.

Pfft, turn on Debug and EZ, beat up imps, and find Giacomo.

Anyways:

>No earthly weapons will affect the fiends. She must fight with her bare hands

Looks like the old "No mortal steel/iron/whatever can harm me" thing, meaning bare hands still works.

You know, I suddenly remembered another demon-related story with the initials of C O C...



Once again, our people can go fuck themselves. One last try: TIJUANA. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE.

Statement of the size of the problem and the resources available to deal with that problem is the standard first step of the systems-engineering method of problem-solving. We do not know the resources and capabilities at your disposal or if it is possible to obtain effective allies or underlings for achieving your goal. We require this information to optimize our advice.

>>395082
>>395080
They are immune to things that have no magic to them. Life is magic, so living things can effect them, but dead and inanimate things don't.

What we really need to know is if by 'immune' they mean 'invulnerable' or 'noninteractive', because the former means that they can be trapped but not damaged, while the latter means they are fucking ghosts with claws and teeth and horns made of fucking ghaostium.

>>395089
We'll have to use snakes, anthills, etc. as traps. Also, snake whips? Germ warfare?

>>395089

So if living things can harm them wouldn't a freshly broken branch still be able to hurt them, since there's still live in it?

>>395092
Inanimate.

>>395093

Are you sure about that. Branches can sprout anew, as long as they are rightly handled, so they can't be completely inanimate. It's at least woth a try. Let's break off some branches and start experimenting.

>>395094
Branches? Do you mean stem cuttings?

>>395099

Euhm - i guess... Maybe my floral knowledge isn't the best, so it doesn't actually work that way on branches, but i'd still like to try out whether a branch immediately loses all it's live force once it's cut or whether it'll keep the live force for a longer time.

If there are weaker demons and we manage to catch one of those we might be able to start experimenting on some kind of ultimate weapon surrogate, like for example freshly cut plant parts. Maybe immersing a weapon in fresh blood will work for a short moment of time.

>>395092
>>395094
>>395099
Freshly torn off branches would work, but they make for a piss poor weapon unless carved into a proper shape, and the only way to do that and retain it's life-force would be some druidic or elvish magic inscribed to maintatin the flow of life.
Think night-elves and similar creatures who grow their weapons: they retain magic more readily because they don't die for a very very long time.

Also, branches such because while trees may have a shitton of life-force, it's extremely spread out in hyperfocused 'seeds' of stored energy, or a general flowing haze of life that pumps through its veins. These multiple 'seeds' are why they can continue to grow for a while even after being cut off, they're super redundant.

Living things like animals are much better though, because of how much denser their life-energy is. It's the difference between a whiffle-ball and a baseball: they're both balls, but good luck breaking any windows with a whiffle-ball..

>>395102
The best weapon off the bat would be a demon's horns and claws, being supernatural from their own origin and all that.
>Monster Hunter, anyone?

>>395105

We'll need some other kind of special tool to get the demonic body parts off the demon first though.
Also finding a non demonic weapon source might be nice. Then we can equip our town with the weapons and making them able to fight back, thus passively stopping the demonic force and fullfilling the prophecy without having to do anything too dangerous.

>>395113
Bash one demon's horn against other demon's head until it breaks. Use horn to do whatever else you want.

crazy people we PUNCH THE IN THE FACE

>>395105
In that vein, you could process demonic body parts...
Demon Leather Amor.
Demon Bone Spear

We don't even have to forge it ourselves, just cart a few demon corpses to nearby town and have a local smith make it...
In fact if we do that, we could get other fighters equipped with demon slaying weapons.

Iora checks the woods around her camp and finds a small, aggressive demon. It lunges at her, delivering a few scratches in an exchange of blows before she sends it flying.
The demon flops to the ground and evaporates in a puff of black, sulfurous smoke, leaving behind a few pieces of currency Iora has never seen before.

Iora now has 9 coins.

Night begins to fall and she returns to camp for the night. In the morning she could continue to explore the forest or search for something else.

>>395442
Well fuck, they disappear. Did it drop "gems"? Try capturing the next one alive, tearing off its skin, etc. with your hands, and doing so repeatedly.

I think if we broke off any body parts they'd disappear with the main body.

Let's explore the woods some more, yeah. We don't really have any other locations to visit and aside from getting food via foraging, which we can do while exploring, there isn't a lot to do to improve our camp.

We also need to find a source of water.

we can set a few traps. snares and such.

>Let's explore the woods some more
Iora explores the woods, facing a few more scattered imp demons. At the end of the day, she returns to camp with a small pile of money, two bottles of what looks like milk and a vessel of fluid that looks similar to a beer flagon that she recovered from the beasts.

DRINK THE BEER!

>>395530
God, please let this be inspired by what I think it from.

DEMONS were carrying these things around. do you REALLY want to know what demons think taste good? if you can identify them somehow, help from a friend or something. and they turn out to be healing potions then awesome. but for now just hold on to them.

Drink and eat everything that you don't oil your body down with first. Insert all bottles and other items into your vagina. Nothing will go wrong.

It's important to know if what you're proposing to eat is poisonous or not before you chug-a-lug. Don't use the fluids until you know what they are. Finding out what they are is actually a good idea, do you have a home base to go to with people who could either tell you or at least research that?

Also, a vagina is only a good storage space for small and flexible things like a condom-wrapped ounce of cocaine or something. It does not make a good storage space for rigid and breakable things like bottles. We have no condoms or cocaine so we should not use the vagina as a storage space.

Is that a heart on the side of the bottle?

Drink the heart containers to get extra health

>>395530
RULE NUMBER ONE: DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ITEMS OBTAINED FROM DEMONS UNLESS YOU CAN POSITIVELY IDENTIFY THEM AS SAFE.
RULE NUMBER TWO: DON'T FUCKING BREAK RULE NUMBER ONE.
RULE NUMBER THREE: THIS GOES FOR PLANTS FROM THE DEMON REALM TOO.

If you drink it, you'll grow an extra sexual characteristic/enhance an existing one, probably. God knows which gender it'll be from.

you know you're gonna drink that damn bottle.

We have much better uses for these then drinking.
Coming from demons, these bottles are almost certainly of demonic origin. As well as throwing it, there are two ways to use a bottle as a melee weapon:
If you are careful about it, you can make a half-decent stabbing weapon by breaking a glass bottle so that the edge away from the handle is jagged.
Even if you can't break it the right way, glass bottles are a lot stronger than many people think and actually have a decent chance of shattering a human skull if you swing them hard enough.
(Make sure to dump the contents out somewhere if you don't intend to throw them; you wouldn't want them splattering on you if they turn out to be something nasty.)

>>395567
POTIONS usually have no effect unless ingested.

>>395571
It isn't the POTIONS I am proposing we use. It is the BOTTLES. Their actual contents are largely irrelevant to this purpose.

After deliberating over whether drinking something demons dropped on the ground is a good idea and pondering the usefulness of glass bottles as a bludgeon, Iora decides to drink one of the milk bottles.
The contents of the bottle is in fact, milk. After drinking it, she feels a little less hungry and a little fuller in the torso area in general.

let's save those in case we REALLY get hungry. sleep close to the fire, will need to find fruits in the morning.

>>395652
Demons appear to be pervs. Something to keep in mind I guess.

Let's not drink the beer. I think that might be for men, if you know what I mean.

Let's get some sleep.

I'm sure some of us voices would like to see exactly what that potion did to all of your body in better detail, looking for signs of new organs, changes to your skin and metabolism, and so on. Because of the unknown, demonic nature of what caused this transformation this may be a good idea. If this is typical of what substances carried by demons do we need to be able to identify exactly what they will do before we consume anything else; a potion that suddenly turns your arms into tentacles or something could be very... bad.
How were you planning on feeding yourself once you began this mission? I hope something safer than risking demon food.

>>395652
Check yourself for any other changes. Don't drink the beer, it's for celebrating and you got nothing to celebrate about.

Then, rest till morning.

Well, you just gained a couple of cup sizes. Drink another bottle of MILK to see if it's a random effect or if that happens every time. Leave the beer the fuck alone.

>>395663
Well... for now, at least.

>>395663
This is a great idea.

>>395652
That's good. Have the other milk for breakfast, then in the morning search for a lake or stream. You need a source of water to live, you can't be sure you'll always be finding beverages on everything you find.

You should wait to see if the effect is temporary, as it could become ...burdensome if you accumulate too much of it.

Besides, it could have other side effects with overuse, like addiction or gradual transformation into a megalomaniac mutant demigod (which is admittedly fun for a bit, but isn't worth it in the long run).

I am pretty sure I see where this is headed, but I would find it highly amusing if we evade our destiny and actually succeed in killing the demons.

Tell me, do you feel any more corrupt after drinking that, champion?

DRINK MOAR MILK

We should probably go exploring. Our first priority is to find a safe, stable food source.

The fact that most of recognize where this is from is... kinda sad.

Did the bottle disappear once you drank the milk? If not, you now have a source of glass shards for a spear and knives.

Lets go explore a bit more. I think we need to find the lake. Meeting something more dangerous then imps would be bad considering we have no weapons.

Oh thats right, its night isn't it? Sleep first then explore.

Well I don't know what the heck the "source" is, but by the comments given so far apparently this chick is supposed to be transformed/corrupted into a dickgirl demon and captured or recruited by the folks she's supposed to kill, somehow, with no help whatsoever?
I really don't like the odds of one woman in the woods if she doesn't have any backup, supplies, or even knowledge of what is and isn't poisonous where she's going. Anybody have any ideas how to make that situation a little bit less bad?

>>395810
Pretty sure the source is Corruption of Champions, A text based RPG game.
Drink the beer!

IIRC, you don't HAVE to eat or drink while in the demon realm, both processes kinda stop.

So we don't need to consume anything.

Iora decides to leave the bottles for now. The augmentations from the milk seem benign enough for now, but no telling what might happen with too high of a dose. Instead, she tries to rest for the night.

In the morning she awakens and mulls over what she should do. She could stick to the forest around her camp or set out for parts unknown to get a better feel for the lay of the land. Either way is likely dangerous.

>you don't HAVE to eat or drink while in the demon realm, both processes kinda stop.

The demon realm has broken into reality and operates as any other spirit realm, this is the case. As long as your spirit has the energy to sustain itself, outside sustenance is unnecessary.

need to find Giacomo. head out for part unknown! and work on getting fast while you are at it.

Check out parts unknown.

Yes lets find the merchant. We can buy vitality drinks and teas. Plus having a tentacle-monster avoidance guide is a must if we're going to explore the forest.

>>395869
Don't forget the bees. We don't want to be oviposited.

>>395841

In that case just explore I guess. Not much else to suggest without getting meta.

>>395826
Keep in mind that this is a quest based on the game, not the game itself. Leaving the portal need not always result in bad end for us.

>>395936
A camp harem sounds nice to me.
We're in the middle of a forest, we probably want to go looking for some other place that lets us see the general terrain, and if possible find some civilization.

Let's quit it with bringing stuff from CoC into this. We won't necessarily run into exactly the same stuff in this quest. In quests based on a particular work (like Lunar Quest, Master of Magic, |||, and others), there're often a number of differences from the original inspiration. Some of them very significant (see assumptions about Abyssals in Lunar Quest that turned out to be obsolete due to changes in the quest's setting from some major events). And I find it more fun to explore the setting on its own terms and see what's the same and what's different than assume stuff beforehand and try to metagame based on that.

Let's try to get a better overview of the land.

Let's just drink the beer for courage and go exploring.

>>395968
But we have nothing else to base our speculations upon.

Agreed on the 'force potions onto minor demons to see what they do' plan. Also, more exploration.

If we're bringing in external knowledge, we might as well bring up that these 'horrible' potions have the side effect of making you stronger.

But yeah, supportan the test out theory. Go forth and subdue a tiny demon without beating it up

Drink all potions simultaneously.

Mix with gin or whiskey for best results.

First of all, sort out the potions by color and/or what you got them from. Since we're not lucky enough for them to be labelled, find something to mark them with so you know which are which.

Beat a demon NOT QUITE to death.
Force it to tell you all it knows.

Try the hexagonal potion (Ovi Elixer?). If it's what I think it is, the male imp won't be able to drink it. Well, not of its own free will. It'd be interesting to see what happens if you forcefed it that....

Iora decides to force feed one of the long bottles to the imp, since she has two if it turns out to be helpful in some way.
The imp thrashes as it is forced to swallow the concoction and almost instantaneously becomes extremely erect. Iora is not sure if it is supposed to look like that, but it is definitely something.

The imp also requires slightly more effort to restrain now.

Yikes.

so it gives you a horse dick and makes you stronger. the strongerness is good but i don't think you want a horse dick. maybe you can sell them to something that DOES want a horsedick?

Long Potion is Horse Potion
NOW TRY THE FLAGON

try pne of everything with unknown effects on the imp, since it'd be colossally stupid to drink some magic shit with unknown effects.

maybe tie the imp up a little, so if something gives it an effect that let's it escape your grasp it is still immobile.

>>402778
>The imp also requires slightly more effort to restrain now.
That means it makes you stronger. It also seems to give you an erection but since you're female that clearly won't effect you in any way. Go ahead and drink the other one.
Oh, but first since you don't need this imp any more, take his cash and tell him to shove off.

The potion made him stronger. With a side effect.
You probably do not want to keep making him stronger or he might end up overpowering you.
It's still not confirmed if the potion did anything to his genitals other than make him horny, or even if it did that it would affect you since you're female.

Feed him that boob potion. That didn't make you stronger and is clearly cross-gender.

Kill the imp after you try out one more potion

so lets put the long potion on the "do not drink list" either kill the imp or feed it on of the milk flagons to see what those do to males who drink it.

Iora uncorks the milk bottle and forces the imp to drink.
The imp becomes 'smaller' and grows a pair of breasts. Iora reminds herself that she is doing this in the name of SCIENCE!

>>402808
break it's neck to put it out of it's misery, then spike it and leave it as a warning to the other imps.

The more science you give it...

THE EASIER IT IS TO KILL WITH RELIGION!

Well I guess keep feeding it one of everything to see what happens.

But the long potion is definitely for us since strength is good and we have no penis to be effected.

okay so it shrinks dicks and grows boobs. interesting. think that's enough science on this one creatures. kill it and get rid of it.

>>402808
more science.
feed it a flagon

Suggested course of action:
-Test the ale on the imp.
-Kill this imp, using its remains as a warning to others.
-Prepare camouflage and traps so that you can sleep, and if it's too dark out to continue then do so.
-Explore and collect more potions to experiment with.
-Keep trying to find civilization and/or non-hostiles which can inform you about this place and what's up with these strange potions.

>>402808
Flagon.

it seems that if you don't have what a potion will mess with it will give it to you. so being female does not mean its safe to drink a potion that messes with male reproductive organs. I think a general policy of not drinking that stuff might be a good idea.

>>402830
Seconded. Also suggesting practicing perfect birth control: No vaginal sex, if any sex at all. We are a champion trying to defeat demons and will not have time to become a mommy until we return home. Judging by the effects of the fluids tested so far this may require effort but virginal purity is likely a useful weapon against demons so it should not be sacrificed.

Iora shoves one more potion down the imp's throat. One of the flagons this time. The imp slumps and goes limp. Is it drunk? There's no visible changes to it in any case.

>>402844
Ok, now kill it.

could be mind effecting, what if it's drunk forever now? tie it to a tree so we can see if it wears off.

Okay, no more potions. Execute it, collect wealth, and drink the other two strength potions.

>>402847

you mean the horse cock potions? no. seriously, I've had enough of horse cocks today. don't even ask.

>>402844
drink the strength potions

>>402851
enough? i don't understand.

>>402844
Kill the demon and class all those potions as "dangerous as fuck to drink". We don't need freaky sexual mutations and we don't need to go unconscious.

>>402859
agree

>>402851
They aren't horsecock potions, they just make you more like a horse. Stronger, and with horse qualities. For males, well... yeah, but girls don't get one. May as well drink one!

>>402859

This.

We should probably set up the defenses so that it's safe to rest for the night.

>>402869
Here's the spike: We only know that these weird-ass potions did strange things to some kind of imp thing, not what they'd do to a young woman. Also, maybe we can trade them for better stuff or non-furry-transforming strength potions later on if we can find someone to trade them to. Here and now these potions seem to be a risk with no obvious and certain payback. The sane thing to do is to avoid that risk, possibly to be undertaken later either in desperation or when we understand the risk better.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.

Iora finishes off the imp and decides that taking the long potions might make her stronger, hopefully without giving her a huge, throbbing horse boner.
After drinking, her muscles feel tense and strong and after a quick check, she confirms there is indeed no penis to be found.

See? Everything is safe as long as you test it on an imp first.

>>402928
A great victory for SCIENCE! +strength without any disastrous side effects. Drink another one!

>>402936
Don't. It WILL transform you and lower your intellect. If you drink too much, you become a mindless horse. Bad End right there. A couple are safe, but Vitality Teas are safer. Look for some creepy merchant named Giacomo. His wares are safe except for the all-natural sex toys. Never buy those.

okay cool. stick the others in like, a tree hollow. then explore some more.

Whilst I don't really like this handing out of meta game knowledge stuff, I agree on not drinking any more long potion. One's enough. We're the chosen one, not a demon drug junkie! Right?

We gotta go do chosen one stuff. Whatever that is. Gotta put our hero hat on!

>>402928
Undress and let us see

I think one more would be fine, but am not voting for having another drink. I am voting for keeping it on hand.

Meta-knowledge not withstanding, it would only be two, and being stronger lets us be better prepared for stronger enemies.

However, we have not encountered such enemies yet, and until that time comes up, being conservative with our potion drinking seems prudent. But if such a monster appeared, I would suggest drinking the long bottle like your life depends on it.

well, you've gotten a little stronger, you've tormented an imp, and you have blankets and tinder. sounds like a pretty complete day. get some rest and prepare to throttle more imps tomorrow.

Remember that many container of power have long-term mental effects. Use too much of that kind of stuff for too long and you find yourself summoning hordes of monsters with a wave of your hand to crush the inconsequential specks you once called your people (which almost never actually succeeds).

Iora already drank them both and feels fine. She's pretty sure she doesn't feel noticeably less intelligent, but maybe overdosing on weird demon potions could have side effects, even if they have only given her stronger muscles and a nice rack so far.
She is now down the three long potions and the milk potion from her previous potion stock.

Iora now knows enough about the lay of the land to navigate semi-reliably. If anything around here can be reliable.

Let's go explore the lake.

>>403022
Oh sweet the game should pick up now.
I suggest exploring the desert, we haven't been there yet.
But more lake exploring is a good option.

Well the town in the prime town-making area is ruined. If there's a habitable town nearby it would be in the mountains or further into the forest. It obviously wouldn't be in the desert, that wouldn't even make sense. Why not check the mountains now?

explore the lake

Either lake or ruins. They're closest

>>403034
Actually, with this logic, wouldn't the forest be the prudent choice?

>>403022
So why are we still living at camp? Is there anything there which makes that location particularly worthwhile?

It might be more practical to move into those ruins- find a location in there which is relatively intact and cannibalize some of the other buildings to rebuild and fortify it. Hopefully that would let us get a decently defended base together with minimal work.

>>403022
Yeah, relocate everything to the ruins.

Iora explores along the lakeside. There are no demons to be found and everything is peaceful.

Also, there's a ton of these long potion bottles dropped everywhere. She quickly has a whole armload of them. There also appears to be different fruits growing in the area, but she can't identify them.

>>403148
If meta knowledge continues to apply, those fruits will turn you into a cat and raise your speed and libido. Not really worth it.

Also, we really should find some civilization somewhere. I suggest the desert, it seems like a good spot for a city to hide in. >_>

>>403148
We should really work on making a backpack, or at least a bag or something. Carrying a bunch of items around like that seems cumbersome and ridiculous. I remember that the ruined village had at least a few crappy blankets left there- not exactly ideal as far as cloth goes, but it would be enough to make us a bindle, if nothing else.

>>403150
Man, we don't know if there are going to be those changes, they could be different, and turning into a catgirl is a lot less worse than turning into a horse anyway.

Drop a few of those potions, pick up some fruit. Carrying all that weight is just going to make you clumsy and open to attack should it change from peaceful to anything but. We'll find something to test the fruit on later. Keep looking for interesting shit though.

>>403159
Hence the if. Describe the fruits.

the fruits ain't going anywhere. keep on truckin'. make a full round 'round the lake.

>>403148
Okay, let's just keep them in a pile somewhere. Maybe we can find something useful. Or, if not, we can try washing out the bottles and using them for something useful instead.

Examine the lake. Anything interesting in it?

drink some strength potions to be able to carry more things.

>>403194
no.

Try the fruit. It's not even a potion.

Everything in a demon world does weird shit to you. Let's not.

Well, no reason not to just start chugging them until you are really strong then.

Iora finds two distinctly different fruits around the lake. They look strange. Iora has no idea what effect they might have, but seeing as how this area is infested with demons and devils, they're probably some kind of devil... fruit.

>>403207
Did you drink the long potions or not? Cuz you should. No negative effects, makes us stronger? Yes please.

Also let's wait on the fruits until we get some information about them. (I have NO idea what those do)

>>403207
Try eating the round fruit.

Eat both of them at once.

Is that a Gum-Gum fruit? Eat it! Eat it right goddamn now!

What did we did with the imp and the other potions we've got? Yeah... that's a minimum first test on whether or not the thing that looks edible/potable will poison and/or eat us.

Obviously you need to eat the bananas.

eat the round one. right. fucking. now.

holy shit CoC meets One Piece? THIS COULD BE THE BEST QUEST EVER!
EAT THE ROUND FRUIT

Those fruit are traps. The banana obviously gives a cock, and the melons either balls or bigger breasts. Do not eat. So far, stick with the Long Potion and Tankards you find. Look for semi-normal vegetation too. Worst case scenario, stick with berries: If they're individually small, they're probably less likely to change you. Possibly even sundry them into raisins so that there's less odds of being changed / corrupted.

Or, I guess, you could take up a diet of Imp-ling meat. It's not long pork if it's not human.

goddammit do we really have to go through this every time you find something edible/drinkable? You don't have to eat or drink anything, so don't. Don't do it. eat and drink nothing. Do not ingest.

I dunno, keep searching for something/fighting monsters.

Eat the round fruit, it looks so tasty

>>403207
Wooo! Time to find another guinea pig!

NO EATING GOD DAMN.

Moar SCIENCE, or moar explore. A little less obsession over eating random things we find on the floor, for now.

Eating or drinking random things seems like a bad plan when some of the random drinkables cause erect dicks and some of them increase the size of your tits. Force feeding them to demons is always a great plan though. Maybe even the best plan of all time.

By "Moar Science" I mean abuse another imp. Human testing comes later.

We can't risk this protagonist growing gag boobs or dicks! Test away on a helpless imp! Or find a local alchemist.

If you can't find one and we start experimenting, just cut to the end of the experimental phase and give us the results.

Finding an alchemist would be fantastic. But try and find duplicate fruits for now.

>>403207
Wait for something to attack you. Beat the shit out of it and force it to eat one, then the other.

Iora decides to stop eating things she finds laying around, after one more of those long potions. No side effects yet, anyway.

After a bit of rooting around, she stumbles across an old sword buried in the sand. This could probably be useful.

The lake seems to be calm, with nothing but these strange fruits growing everywhere.

Devour the fruits. But prepare them first, that way they weren't really just lying on the ground

test sword on local imps

take fruits home. EQUIP sword. next time you catch an imp see what they do. feed two or three to it so you can be sure what it does.

Try checking out the river that extends from the lake.

>>403274
I agree.

Also drink more strength-of-a-horse potions!

explore the forest a bit.

stay the fuck away from anything that looks even remotely like a tentacle.

I think continuing to force-feed random shit to unhappy imps is, easily, the best plan you could possibly have. I can't imagine a more entertaining way to spend your time.

Find some imps to test the sword on and preform SCIENCE on with some fruit.

TAKE A BITE OF GUMGUM

Iora tests the sword on the nearest imp and slices it cleanly into pieces. She feels much safer with a razor sharp blade in her hands.

Make sure to investigate the full shore of the lake. There was a village on the shore, perhaps there were fishing boats with gear or maps around?
Also, always test things on imps unless they appear to be something in limited supply. Make a stockpile of things you find, we don't know what may be useful to trade to other people yet.
Every day add at least one trap, fortification or other bit of defensive measures to your camp.

>>403377
Well that's pretty excellent.

Keep looking around the lake area and killing imps; if you don't find anything else interesting after a while, go back to the ruined village and see if you can find a decent location there to move to. It really is more defensible than your camp.

>>403377
Well that's one type of science.

I think we should seek out some tougher foes. How about we check out the desert?

Ha ha, imps HATE it when you forcefeed them razor sharp swords! :D

Finish examining that lake. Maybe you can find another person who isn't, y'know, some sort of awful little rape-goblin.

Iora sets down the beach, thoroughly checking for signs of anything strange. Nothing strange here. Nothing at all.

"Hello, customer! What can I get for you?"

>>403400
what's for sale?

...Rathazul? :D Probably not, but ask his name anyways and ask to identify your shit.

Eye him suspiciously and ask "How do I know you're not with the demons?"

Then ask him what he uses for money around here. Maybe ask what some of the potions and fruit you found do.

>>403400
oh my god its a ferret.

he has bottles! maybe he knows what you have! trade him coins for knowledge!

>>403402
>>403404
>>403405

I have little to add to these suggestions and the healthy suspicion. It really doesn't make much sense for him to have a stand out in the middle of nowhere if he has no customers, so this looks like he's either a nut, a trap, or someone who knows an awful lot more about how to find people around here than we do.

...Who does he sell to? We haven't seen anything yet other than relatively unintelligent imps.

>>403400
Get his name, introduce ourself, and explain that we're new here and could use a description of the area and the dangers in it if possible. Also an explanation of the various potions and fruits and such we've been finding.

Make sure to ask about all of the potions we have seen, as if we have not used or tested any. Hopefully we can find out that way if he lies to us about what they do.

Ask him what he sells. Say you have some fruit that need identifying, and ask if he knows anyone capable of doing so.

>>403400
Yo dawg imps be stealing your potions and you're scattering 'em all over the lake are they free samples or some shit?

Also, hey, what do these fruit do my friend?

Tell him you don't have any money and ask him what you should use to pay him? Add "Tee hee."

>>403414
this. also ask him if he knows anything about the demons. knowing if they are organized would be helpful.

>>403426
Hey, lying's wrong. we have at least 9 coins from thatfirst imp.

>>403400
Identification, at first.

I dunno, what can he get for you?

A midget! Hit him on the head with a stick; he'll turn in to 40 gold coins!

Don't actually do that. See if he'll trade your extra potions for a map of the area.

Oh my gosh it is the most adorable little thing you must hug it but don't kiss it 'cause that would be unhygienic.

Ask if he has a sweet-ass bag. Then you'll have something to carry all those potions in. Also ask if he dances.

>>403400
My god. A ferret. HE'S ADORABLE. Ask him if he takes weird demon jewels or weird phallic potions in exchange. Also, request a bag, since our home town is full of assholes that suck and are jerks.

The ferret identifies himself as Dencha and Iora asks him to identify what she has found so far.

"This one is bad. I can filter out the bad stuff for a mere twenty coins, but I'm not sure what it actually does."

Iora has 75 coins from beating and robbing small demons.

what are the markings on it? or is it just a round bottle? ask if he could take the possible horse related side effects out of the long potions leaving just the strongness. even if it takes several to make a dose.

that is incredibly unhelpful. could you ask him what he means by bad? toxic? acidic? addictive? also ask him if he's seen any non demon settlements.

>>403729
It's great that he'll filter a potion at all, but we really need to know more about the area and its dangers. Advice is more valuable than services.

Tell him we'll test it on an imp before we decide if it's worth purifying. Ask him what potions he's got.

>Define bad

Demonic bad. He can get rid of the horrible, corruption of the lower planes and just leave a normal potion that does who knows what.

>What kind of potions does he sell?
He has some hair dye. You want to look good for the organism you want to mate with, right? He used to sell other things, but the market for making the tops of people's heads different colors was more lucrative. Want some, dook dook?

>does he know of any settlements nearby
Oh yes. There's a big city somewhere around here. It's... Um... He can't seem to remember at the moment, but you'll know it if you see it, dook dook.

>can he take the horse part out?
Easy, just dump the whole thing on the ground. It doesn't do much good that way though.

So, what can he do for you, dook?

>>403775
Well, you might as well risk it. Pay him the 20 coin and chug it down.

>>403775
(hair dye in a quest with no color, eh?)
I don't think we really need any hair dye at the moment, but out of curiosity what colors does he stock?

Also if he can tell you anything about the fruits around here, that'd be nice.

resist the urge to sqggle his belly

destroy his anus

does he have leaf green? let you blend in with the forest more.

>>403775
So does he any idea what the fruit does?
While we are here, we might as well buy that purification thing, and a hairdye of your normal hair color and then your favorite hair color.

Maybe ask him to move out to your camp, there can't be much good business out here and you've been getting a good supply of gems and shit, so you'll be able to purify things at will. And even encourage his other endeavors. Plus it's lonely out here.

Ask him to accompany you! You can protect him and his cuteness with your SORD.

Filter that shit and chug that shit. Worst case scenario, horsedick.

>>403787
I thought you didn't want random gag mutations? Purifying something doesn't mean it won't mutate you...

>>403787
Whoa, whoa... we just met this guy and we don't know yet if he's a demon or not. Do you go inviting every random hobo you meet to sleep on your couch too? I still think it's suspicious he's got a stand out here in the middle of nowhere unless there's some source of traffic and business nearby he can point to.

Heck, we don't even know why this guy wants coins. What does he do with them?

>>403775

I have a brilliant plan.

Okay first. We capture some demons of some kind.

Then we take them to him, he purifies them. Voila, instant normal human being that can help us.

Continue until you HAVE AN ARMY.

>>403808
If this works you are the bestest geniusest everar, and I will bow down in your direction.

Ask him how much he'd charge to drink potions to test out their effects.

Do not drink any more stuff, "purified" or no. I don't trust it.

>>403808
Brilliant! Let's do it.

>>403808
holy crap that might work. that is a much better plan than stab ever demon by yourself.

given the solution for removing the horse from the long potion was pouring it on the ground, i imagine filtering imps would be the same as exsanguinating them.

on that note, pay to filter the potion and then give it a drink.

>>403835
it might not work for imps, its possible that the larger demons are enough something else as well as demonic that they could survive the process.

also lets stop drinking potions, we've gotten lucky so far but if you end up growing a dick or something we don't have any way of getting back to normal.

She changes the topic to whether the fruits around here are safe to eat. He says that they aren't poisonous, if that's what she means, dook dook.
