We need some peeps to get to work cleaning up the blood and corpse.

Medical attention for all wounded would be good and get those nails out of the front door.

Back to business as usual I guess.

Ah, it's good to have all that out of the way.

~~~~

A few minutes later and your suggestions have all helped me. I've got Tislomer looking after Babrakus, and her initial diagnosis is hopeful. He should be fine.
Meanwhile, I've got Finesse resetting the traps, disposing of the body, and cleaning up the mess.

Don't forget to ask Finesse to take a look at that nailgun.

>>75881
All is well.

What the fuck were we doing before this interruption?

>>75881
Get the 'herbal aids' you require and pass off your new-found enthusiasm as the result of her violent display. Then proceed to 'thank her' adamantly.

>>75881
Well, you've still got something else to take care of.

You know.

And that, of course, will leave us plenty of time to ourselves.

>>75887
Get to it!

>>75889
SCORE!

>>75887
Oooooh, I see that violence perks little Muschio up :)

Hmmn, Finesse will be hurt when she finds out you did it without her help. C´est la vie~

While we make her dump the body and clean up. Poor Finesse.

A day passes.

Arabella is showing signs of rapid recovery and seems better than ever. Her visit to my Vault concluded, she will return home to Commander Coriander's tower.
I believe we all owe her a debt, for her bravery and ferocity which helped to defend this dungeon. If she wasn't already employed, I would offer her a place here as a guard. Alas, she cannot stay, and we all know this.
Today, we have gathered to see her off.

"Goodbye, Arabella. Thank you again for visiting, and for all you did for us during that brief but dangerous invasion. Please, give my best to the Commander."
>"Please... call me Bella."

>>75896
Call her Bella. Goodbye, Bella!

Have a safe trip... Bella.


Then kiss her.

d'aww

>>75896
You playa you!

Uh, don't kiss her. I mean, you wouldn't want to lead her on. Be a gentleman, now.

>>75898
Her hand.

>>75896
Far Well.. Bella.

Oh and tell me, what Hermit was it that jinxed you? I think I should see to preventing this from become a reoccurring aliment among my staff.

>>75903
>Oh and tell me, what Hermit was it that jinxed you? I think I should see to ensuring this becomes a reoccurring aliment among my staff.

"As you wish. Fare thee well, Bella."

>>75903
Which exactly are the Jynx´ symptoms, really? I think that was never troughly explained, and I feel like soon enough the explanation will sum up to what we, of higher wisdom, would call as 'estrus', 'mating season' or 'heat'.

>>75896
Not to take away from this moment, but this brings to mind that you could use some proper muscle on your staff. Babrakus is awesome and all, but he's a carpenterbold. You seem to be more a dextrous fighter than strength-based, and we can't expect Tislomer or Finesse to do the fighting.

>>75908
Well yes, that's why we hired Ash. But... she's not here right now. We need more than one guard.

Next goal: Pick up an ogre. Name it Nimi.

"Goodbye then, Bella. Please, have a safe journey."

You're right, I certainly need a guard. But it was lucky for us that Arabella was here when we were finally attacked. She has a way with that blade.

Watching her walk off into the distance, I find myself reflecting on my own... proclivities. I certainly don't believe it was the sight of blood that provoked the reaction in me, nor the act of violence. Perhaps I am wrong. It is a very hard thing to separate from all that happened.
But if I had to put my finger on the catalyzing event, I might suggest that I was incensed by...

Victory.

Regardless, my work is done and Arabella seems fine.

It is as they say. All's well that ends well.

Uh.

>>75927
Did Finesse cough up blood?

DID SHE?

>>75928
cure her...

>>75907
I think it was described as a 'wasting' disease, so it's something you become lethargic then eventual die to. And I think it would most likely be magical in origin.

>>75926
Hell yes - called it!

Get to work, Muschie~

>>73754
>>74999

Goddamn it. I just now got that pun.

Make sure you save that spike gun muschie~.

Lover her tenderly

Now now... Finesse might have just caught a normal, non-sexing-required sickness. Full-on bedridden sickness might be a way to get close enough to....
Yeah, I got nothin'. Strip-chess, Finesse?

>>75982
We can't take that chance.

Time for Operation: Gobbo Bop

>>76012
...wat

>>76012
This brings up the question of whether or not she even had Nymph's Jinx. Note to selves: do not attempt to call in any favors with the Commander.

>>76014
Or does Nymph's Jinx even exist at all?

>>76014
Oh but Muschio will. Much confusion will be had. Then glaring. Finally, (sexy?) punishment meted out by Coriander!

In fact maybe we should send Coriander a letter immediately, apologizing for the delay. Then we can get the consequences out of the way quickly.

>>76012
...Well played, Arabella.
Well. Played.

>we should send Coriander a letter immediately, apologizing for the delay. Then we can get the consequences out of the way quickly.
Very yes. A letter about how Muschio had difficulty meeting the goal placed before him, but after some difficulties and a bit of help, he was able to perform the task at hand. In addition, Arabella managed to help protect the vault! We should sing her praises in the letter as well. She helped a lot.

>>76012
If Arabella never had Nymph's Jinx, then >>75926
Finesse knows it and is playing Muschio for a gullible fool!
She's a smart one, by gum.

Oh god, did I lol. I love how shit gets revealed in the epilogue.

>>76029
Nymph's Jinx is actually a massive in-joke among females in the setting to allow instant romantic tension whenever they want. /tinfoilhat

Muschio hug Finesse
