They are expensive, but I feel it's worth the added insurance. Is there anyone you've met thus far that you'd like to bring along? I believe you've been palling around with a gnoll, hm? Or perhaps the drake could use a vacation? The caravan is not expected for awhile, so you have time to make preparations, hopefully with your pants in the correct position."
>>
No. 543841 ID: 0f6f63

Perhaps the drake would like a vacation? It's hard to tell with her. She could certainly sit on our loot for us in a wagon. Although she'd have to be willing to travel incognito- not in her dragon disguise. Be kind of hard to make sense of a dragon in a caravan. That part might be a hard sell.

What about Springfoot? Or are the summons done for now, or you'll need them for your own devices?
>>
No. 543843 ID: cf16c8

Say your pants were already in the most correct position.
Bring along Tailor, you might need disguises at a moment's notice! Plus you should still feel horrible for what you did to Tailor even though it didn't happen in the final timeline.
Also you should find out what Tailor's actual name is.

Yes, let's bring the Tailor along. It's the least you could do, and I wonder if she's ever even had a vacation.

After excusing myself, I head off to the Drake.

"Hello, Miss Morgana! Have you ever thought about vacation? I am going on a journey, and was wondering if you would be so inclined to join?"
>"What? Who's going to protect my treasure?!"
"Who's going to dare take your treasure, when they are still reeling from the lich? We can, of course take your treasure. In fact, you're welcome to sit on the treasure I've amassed!"
>"Hrm... that's tempting. Do I get to keep any of it?"
"The treasure will largely be sold, but it'll be sold for a big pile of gold, and I did donate once, and it would not take much convincing to do so a second time!"
>"Hm.... fine! Wait, I'm not going with you back to the Lich! I'm going to prepare my stuff, I'll wait for you out front. Of the caves. Just... just go, and I'll be outside waiting for you. Don't make me wait long."

"Well, our journey would be over the world itself, so you may learn some excellent tricks of the trade, as well as finding out new clients. Plus, if you can get your shop here back when we come back, then I'll pay for a new one myself!"

>Something tells me that kobold is trouble!
You're instinctively recognizing a rival male of a different school of seduction, but with a similarly prodigious skill.

This is either going to lead to an epic tagteamup, confrontation, and/or competition. I don't know if the ladies deserve our sympathy or envy.

I expect that is all I will find out about that! I wish Zirkala goodbyes, but she is not one for long goodbyes, nevermind that I will only be gone for so long to begin with! I assist Lachu up. The wagon appears bigger on the inside! Perhaps someone in his party knows magic.

A nice and nice looking something assists us up into the wagon as well.

The caravan sets off, I yell my last goodbyes to Zirkala as I make sure I brought all my worldly possesions, namely my armor and weapons. We don't even get out of the caves before we're ambushed! The caravan speeds up, and a few of my new companions to go out and protect us. I sure won't pop my head out, if they saw me, I bet they'd blame me for the whole thing!

We get out more or less unscathed though, and thankfully, Morgana is nearby. Gnollflakes is able to yank her up into the wagon as we drive by,

"Thank you, gnollflakes!"

Aw, she's insecure because she's 'just' a drake instead of hiding behind her usual dragon illusion.

Time to build up her confidence and make her feel comfortable. 'Just' a drake? She's easily one of the most dangerous things in the group, and a fine companion, to boot. Would she care to be shown to the treasure?

She may even learn to have fun with people who aren't automatically terrified of her.

She probably wants to keep her illusions a secret. If she's too public about that, she could blow her own cover back home.

A gentleman knows when a lady is in too relaxed of a mood for such moves! Although, he also knows when a lady likes privacy, and there is little here.

Don't talk to fancy. Gnolls might get pissy about it and play up the whole nancy prissy boy deal here. That is not an image you want to project with them. Your a bard and a diplomat, play to you audience. Something direct. Maybe Laugh a little bit at his joke, [not to much] offer him a small bite to eat. The ask about passage through there lands. Offer to pay a reasonable fee for escort or some such if they seem ill incline to have you prancing about. Oh and try to talk a little slower with them than every one else. (but only a little, don't look like your dumbing it down).

"Greetings, would you like to share a bite of my [FILL IN THE BLANK FOOD]." offer food "I would like to ask your leader if it would be okay to move our caravan through your territory. We could make it worth your while."

That last part and its phrasing is very important, Its the basic sign that low brow thug types, which make up 90+% of gnolls should and will want to listen to you.

P.S. not to propagate negative gnoll stereotypes but they tend to enforce them.

After that, practicing new spells is a good idea, but you might want to do that when it's less mission critical and let a certain drake cover everyone for now.

You just know if you go with mundane surprises everyone's going to get invited to a public bathhouse or something.

I take a look around, but spare clothes aren't just lying around! Finally, I get the bright idea to just ask.

"Lawra, may I borrow some girl clothes?"
>"Oh, oh!" The tailor runs up. "Lawra's given me some pointers and help on the way, and I've actually made some girl clothes in advance for you!"
"Ah, why thank you!" I should've thought of her first, come to think. Oh well!

With that, I cast some bardic magic on me for.... well, it doesn't backfire, but it doesn't seem to do a whole lot, most concerningly, it does nothing for my equipment down under! I think I have a bit more of a feminine face, though, and so long as I keep my pants on, none will be the wiser.

I think she is looking for arousal more than eye contact. Try not to think about rolling your face around in those. Or how you have not had sex in possibly hours.

Really, Seeker, every man should spend time as a lady if possible. An appreciation for the female point of view will help you learn how to treat with them as they would like to be treated. Well, some of them, anyway. It doesn't do to generalize excessively.

Perhaps you are troubled because the lady you have become is not one that fits your tastes as much?

>What was the outcome regarding the Abstinence Potion placed upon Story Seeker several threads prior to this one?
I believe it simply wore out on its own! That, or there's been so much magic pumping through me that there just wasn't room for it anymore. Maybe that's it. As a novice magician, I have little faith in that!

>Perhaps you are troubled because the lady you have become is not one that fits your tastes as much?
I think I am troubled that Muo's original shapeshift put me in a perfectly fine form, but as it is, I am in an awkward medium between the two!

>Meet the locals, go to the bathhouse
Physical dissonance will not hinder my path there, however! I confirm that Morgana is perfectly content with guarding the treasure while pretending she's alone in her cave, and I head to the bathhouse. My Bardic Senses give me directions to the closest one.

I proceed to pretend like I know what girltalk is. It's like regular talk, except with girls! As tempting as it is to inquire as to how there is a female only land that apparently successfully keeps men out of quite a sizeable landmass, I simply remember that somewhere out there, under the big blue sky, there is a place called the Man Clan Land. And that's a bigger question than women only, in my possibly unimaginative eyes!

>Story if you do not take that nice girl up on her offer you will always regret it.

So... the more dominating she tries to sound, the meeker it comes out. And the politer you try to sound, the more foul mouthed it comes out. Must be more chaos magic.

Interesting new friend you have here. You probably have plenty of time to kill, but any time you're getting tied to a bed, it's important to keep an eye on all your stuff. I'd worry if she leaves the room for more than a few minutes too.

And do you even need the slime form to free yourself? You'd think getting out of this sort of jam would be a well-practiced skill by now.

Okay, it appears you're under a curse of foul language. As a bard that does put you at a bit of a handicap but you can manage communication via other means. Writing, gestures, interpretive dance, and the like.

Keep your mouth shut and give the guard a nod of agreement. She's going to take a bit and the mood is pretty much broken so don't expect to continue your session with Quani.

If you've got anything to write with and on then write down "what did I say to the guard?" on it and give it to Quani to fill in. That'll give you an idea of how bad the curse is.

Amorphous mass or no, I am not invincible! I do not know how that works.

"Please tell me, word for word, what I said last to the guard? Before the stabbing part."

I just don't think I can even pretend to say such foul language in the hopes it will come off as fine!

>"May I get a piece of parchment to write on? There are communication issues at hand!"

The guard reluctantly obliges, and I begin writing. While she allows me to be close to her, the bag appears well sealed, and she is keeping an eye on it, so it may be tough for me to try and shove it in her face!

I would like to point out that you came in here without a search warrant-

"It is, uh, like permission to come in and search ou-"

If such things are how this society works, and you have no proof you are of the town's law enforcement, then how could I know that you are not simply just a bandit taking advantage of the riots?
>"... it is my request that you not speak so out of line, and return to your place at the wall while I leave this place."

OK how does this sound? Wear the magic amulet. Equip the mermaid scale somehow. Like... I don't know, shove it down somewhere by your waist, see if it like, turns into magical scalemail leggings or something. Maybe do the slime thing to get it to stick? Use the remaining slime scattered about from the lake to cleanse the taint of evil from the demon core and see if it turns into something else.

And from there... I don't know. Look to climb the highest mountain in the land and ascend to divine power or some princess to rescue or a celebration of your victory maybe?

Hm, I will have to save the scale, as its use may not be immediately apparent.

So I equip both the amulet and the scale, hoping them to give some boosts! And yes, I do feel them take hold, the mermaid scale gives me the power of plus ten charisma! I don't know what that means. The amulet, meanwhile, grants me the power of telepathy!

I move back up out of the slime pits so that I may breathe again, and I am greeted by a disembodied voice.

"Ah... ah, sorry, I did get carried away, didn't I? I think I even came out ahead, so if you like, I am willing to break even and give what I took from you!"

Both the dragon and the amulet warned you about the slime pit trying to trick and devour you! Plus, remember, some of it dove into the ocean to try and feed that poor mermaid to the wheel demon!

Clearly, without letting it know you're on to its evil scheme, you must get it to let its guard down, then unhinge your jaw and swallow it whole, so that you may attain its powers and put an end to this great evil!

Did that spontaneous sex change revert itself yet? How about the face upgrade you stacked onto it? Did you actually get something from a mermaid at some point?

Once you've sorted all that out, there's something to be said for finding the puke bucket, finding your clothes assuming that Muo business left that as a sensible option, and once you've generally cleaned yourself up make some proper introductions because there seem to be some new people on the wagon here.

It seems exceedingly likely that Muo doesn't actually have a clue what she's talking about here. So... don't sweat that whole crazy nagging feeling that something truly horrifying is in store for you as a result of... whatever the two you two were doing there. You're almost definitely probably fine.

For now just get out of the pile already, see where your clothes went, and check out that mermaid scale to see if it's actually in any way remarkable.

Oh, and since you were kind of a slime for a while there and apparently just kind of eating everything in sight, you should probably double check that it doesn't feel like there's any foreign objects stuck in your stomach or something. Better to establish that early and reslime to purge them out than develop a nasty intestinal problem, right?

Thankfully, this is a two way journey! We will be dropping Muo off, and then heading back the way we came. It has been quite awhile, but trips back always seem a lot shorter.

If she starts getting into some crazy longwinded explanation though you're going to cut her off, because whatever she's talking about, it can't be more important than making sure Morgana doesn't totally flip out on everyone. Make sure Durk gets that whole secret notion.

And I suppose if you are host to some sort of immature slime that's not the worst thing to deal with. I mean, they're all liquidy, so you don't need to worry about anything violently bursting out of anywhere. Just... squirting forth from some orifice or other maybe.

The better sorts of ideas I've had all day! I have hardly spoken to them, and they mostly keep to themselves. So after I find myself my old clothes or what could passf or them, I bring them out of the wagon and into the wilderness to show them the sights, whatever they might be.

The kobold has since calmed down from her position, perhaps merely due to unfamiliar surroundings being an effective pacifier.

Upon returning to the wagon, we continue our conversations of idle nothing's, but Durk comes back in a rush and hauls us off after a brief confirmation that everyone is on the wagon.

A strange person, but I wasn't lying about qualms or plans, so I will still do as he asks! I bask in the sun for a moment before heading into a dusty little bar and getting myself a little bit of liquor.

Although the drink I get appears to have nothing wrong with it, I suddenly seem to be interested in the drink that my nearby patron appears to be in possession of.

"Say, how does this town get its water?" I ask said patron.
>"Trade, a nearby oasis, and the fact that this place isn't too far off from the desert's edge."
"I cannot also help but notice that people wear a lot of clothes, here! Doesn't it get far too hot for that?"
>"The clothes fend off the sun."
"I was under the experience that clothing collected the sun."
>"Only if you wear the clothes for winter. You're an underground one, aren't you."
"I am."

He's looking away quite a bit, and I cannot resist the temptation to sneak a drink while he peers somewhere else!

Well what better chance to practice your thiefly wits than when you are possessed by kleptomania. The most dashing and daring bards eventually need to life a purse or casually plant an object in the course of an adventurous day.

Come to think of it, I am not typically one for my own kind, as well! Perhaps this sudden case of kleptomaina, that I try to avoid due to racial stereotyping, came back in force. It is just as well that I failed in my endeavor, here, as he gets up to leave!

Ah, it's a backdoor of a backdoor, I guess, as I am directly over the stolen bag, while they appear to celebrate their findings! The bag is quite heavy.

I may have a problem. I have lifted boulders nearly the size of me motivated by Ralex breathing fire down my neck - literally, I might add - but the most recent scenario of mass-exchanging with Muo has left me rather... thin! And this large bag feels as though it is full of water! I could only dream of it being full of heavy treasure.

I can sense the magic involved, though! Each time Muo is touched, nearby people who drank her water recently will be teleported. However, 'recently drank water' status is lost on a single teleport. That is the best I can think of it as!

A difficult task, while playing music. I will simply wait for Muo and I to separate, at which I will ask for how she got back to the wagon. I feel as though we are rolling quite a lot, so there must be something to it.

Eventually I feel Muo initiating a separation, and we are back in the wagon.

The first rule of story telling is to embellish what really happened. A giant singing slime rolling through a camp of crazed kleptomaniacs is a good story in itself.

I have my suspicions. I must take everything she says with a pile of salt, nevertheless, it would be ungentlemanly of me to let a girl's harmless joke falter! Plus, if it is not a joke, all the more reason to play along.

Hopefully harmless.
