I've been doing good. Ever since my daddy decided not to be a miner anymore it's been pretty good!

>How long has it been since the great Lord Malto rescued your father?
Oh! That happened only a few weeks ago. Baron Malto had all his men pumping water out of the mine and my daddy was down there for almost three days! The pumping took two whole days, and I was worried, but Baron Malto and allll his men they pumped out the water and saved him, and they didn't even ask for anything in return! That was so nice!

And then my daddy came back and he gave me this ribbon and now he spends a lot more time with me, and my mom's happy too, and I'm doing good!

I was born like this. A couple of us in the village were, they say it's because of the mine and all the dust and icky stuff and it makes babies turn out different. But that's what makes me so special.

I have one little hand and one big hand. But I can use them both the same. I even use my big hand when I sew. It's easy.

You always talk about the future, Mojo. I wonder why.

And your voice is always so strange. It's like you keep interrupting yourself. You keep talking over your own voice. Saying so many things all at one time. I don't know how I can understand what you're saying, but I do.

You kinda sound like Baron Malto.

So you spoke with the Baron? What did he have to say?

'Cause Mojo has a pretty big secret... but you can't tell anyone about it!

>>77103
But we want to hear the story now

Did you loot anything cool off the Carpenter? Does Finesse think she can use his nail gun for stuff?

>>77136
I'm sure Finesse could have reverse-engineered the nailgun. And I hope she did, having those for each minion would be awesome, especially if she could improve the design.

File 125833402327.gif - (5.99KB , 800x600 , 653.gif )

Ah yes, Finesse has proved herself valuable once more. She couldn't quite duplicate the tremendous power of the nailgun, which, regrettably, was damaged in the scuffle. however she was able to create a launcher of more than suitable power.

Behold. A deceptively-powerful crossbow, that's yet small enough to be concealed beneath my sleeve. Capable of piercing bone despite its diminutive size, and delivering a poisonous coating, should I procure any as needed.

I tried to complement her for the design, but she says it was actually my idea.
How interesting.

>>77143
I think we suggested something like that a while ago, Boss. It's good to see she did such a good job on it!

>>77143
More specifically, it was my idea. I remember that.

Incidentally, you probably ought to try that out. Just go somewhere out of the way and shoot at stuff, so you can get an idea of how much range and accuracy you're working with.

>>77143

So, you said today was a busy day... what exactly is on the agenda?

>>77143
Ah Finnie, doing us proud once more! I am sure this will come in useful.

Now, for today's business, I think you need to restock. Your shield and sword have both been destroyed, and you said before you don't like the Flyssa's weight. We should go into Sepia town and get you re-equipped more to your liking. The dagger and arm crossbow should be enough to keep you safe from the city's ruffians.

>>77147
or at least my design. Amongst this plethora of voices, it's quite possible that the idea sprung first from someone else, I've really no memory thereof.

>>77143
Excellent! and how is our own loyal woodworker... he manage to pull through all right?

I think a minor reward of some kind is suitable for such loyalty above and beyond our expectations (he is just a hired hand after all, hardly security personnel.)

Speaking of which we may want to extend our defenses, if that fellow had had slightly better aim you would be lacking a mechanic right off the bat there... no warning!

We need to work on extending our defensive and warning range somehow.

We need some kind of moat that is also on fire.

>>77143
And what about arming the rest? At least until we get some guards.

>>77143
She got over her cough, then?

File 125833489210.gif - (11.00KB , 800x600 , 654.gif )

Your staff concerns are all quite valid.

As far as armor, weapons, and general defense go, I think a better solution would be to hire a blacksmith and a designated guard. Hopefully Ashedel will return soon with those prospects. A good blacksmith could keep us stocked for life.

Babrakus, who put his own life in danger, has made nearly a full recovery under Tislomer's care. He limps just slightly, but even that may go away with time. He has been heartily commended for his bravery.

Finesse, however...
She has become ill.
It does not seem serious yet, and she continues functioning normally. She has not mentioned this possibility herself, but... I fear it may be Nymph's Jinx.
I've been looking up all the information I can on it -- discreetly, of course -- but most of it has been anecdotal, or used as a crude device in some bodice-ripper novel. There seems to be virtually no scientific data on it, so I can't say for certain if it is indeed contagious. I don't want her to know she may have contracted it until I'm certain one way or the other.
Either way, Tislomer is caring for her, but so far we've only had mild herbs to soothe her cough.

>>77160
Well Boss, if it really is the Jinx...
You're gonna have to cure her. She trusts you the most, after all. An' really, most of us are fine with it, so that means you should be, too.

>>77160
Lucky you got us, boss.
You might not remember, but you once read in a book that you can identify the Jinx by asking the supposed victim about their cough. If he/she blushes and stammers out "no", it's definitely it.

>>77160
God damn, remind me again why you sent Ashedel away? She's been gone forever.

A blacksmith is an excellent idea, however. Get one of those and some metal to work with ASAP.

>>77160
>>77160
She's such a loyal helpmate, isn't she...
Always willing to lend a hand...
Always making such little gifts for you...
Wouldn't want to make her suffer...

well the answer is clear.

you must finely document everything you know about nymphs jynx and send it to print.

Any symptoms besides the cough?

>>77160
Well the cure for the Jinx certainly wouldn't do her any harm, and it might cure her!

>>77160
Muschio, you realize what this means, right? Nymphs Jinx is spreading! You must have sex with every member of your entourage to prevent any further spread.

Well... let's go rob a bank or something.
Or find some nymphs and beat the truth out of them.

>>77160

Are we even sure this Jinx thing even EXISTS? For all we know it could just be a common cold that people re-name so that they can get laid.

>>77313
SHHHHH. I think that's supposed to be a secret.

>>77160
Well, if you can get a blacksmith AS a gaurd, there you go. Two birds, one stone, eh boss?

As for Finesse... you should do it. It's your responsibility as their lord to protect her.

>>77160
Well, if it is the Jynx, you know how to cure it. However, you may wish to get a healer or something to make sure it's not some flu or a bad reaction to mushrooms or something.

>>77346
But that puts your important smith in a position of increased risk, and would leave you guardless when something needs to be forged/smithless when something needs to be guarded!

We totally sent a letter to the Commander asking about a potential guard recruit, right? RIGHT?

Oh that reminds me. Bella was diagnosed with Nymph's Jinx, so maybe we can go ask her the method with which she was diagnosed. We can also ask her if she knows any details about it; like whether or not it's contagious.

Hey, remembered that kobold you cured way back, in the kobold village? What were the symptoms of that again? She might have caught that after being drenched in the blood of the one who had it.

I don't recall the symptoms or the cure. I shall search my memory [Archives] and report back later [After work.]

>>77404
That was caused by eating a bad mushroom. It was basically just poison, not a disease. She was turning purple.

Watercolor montage of you and your troops training hard.

We've been doing some research, boss.
Nymph's Jynx? Not technically a disease. More like a curse. Magic and whatnot. Hence the lack of imperical evidence and facts. Seems to be that theres some annoying clause in the curse. Whenever you 'cure' someone of the Jynx, it doesnt really go away, it just moves on to another nearby female. The good news is is that once a person has been cured, they can't catch it again. The bad news is you may have to sleep with your entire female staff.
Or. you know, take Finnie out to a town somewhere and have her cured there.

>>77497
Yeah, maybe like one of those love hotel things.

>>77498
Don't you know how much those cost?

Just cure them yourself boss. You can do it!

Boss, boss! Best idea, talk to Finnie. She has a nice head on her shoulders, so she should know if she has the Jinx or not. If you want to make sure, talk to Commander Coriander Salamander, you know. Because she sent us Arabella in the first place. Of course, we should go check on Finnie -anyway-, your dreams seem kind of...influnced by her.

>>77497

Are we even sure that the totally-real-and-not-made-up-curse only affects females? It could just as easily infect Babrakus, or even YOU, Boss!

>>77160

I'll worry about the giant's comfort and communication later. For now, I simply tell him I'm going out, and to turn away anyone that isn't already working for me, which even he should be able to figure out.

Why are we asking MUSCHIO how to do this? We are the decision makers. We are his mind. We are not watching a movie. We tell HIM how to become the devil.

With that in mind, to become the devil, we must be more evil, and more deceptive than the devil himself.

This is not all able to be done through mindset. We need to alter ourselves magically.

I already make a good actor.

All I need now is a subject to test my charms. I already convinced one of them to give up a little sweetness to bring me aboard, now I need to pick one of the more permanent residents of this dungeon to make a move on.

Want to really impress us?

The mimic.

>>82924
Oh come on. She probably said yes before you even finished propositioning her.

>>82924
You can try for the Kobold woman, Tislomer. She's involved with some guy named "Nino", who we're not entirely sure would have the Boss' best interests at heart.

She's a pretty sweet girl, even though she tends to view the world through rose-colored glasses.

Let's rock the little kobold's world.

You should be interested to know that the little goblin girl has Nymph's Jinx. You should do something about that. It'd be too awkward if the boss were to handle it. Given that she's an employee and all.

Mimic.

Wait, is the mimic a guy or a gal? You need to learn this in the most discreet way possible.

Oh hey

The goblin's got Nypmh's Jynx, and the boss was looking for a way to cure her without getting his hands dirty. He'd be delighted if he came back from his trip to find her cured...

Listening to these two will only bring you great pain. I'm talken you sliding down a 20ft glass spike mouth first kinda pain.

>>82937
Question: Does Nymph's Jinx actually exist?

>>82939

Well, of course it does. Finnie would never lie about something as serious as a potentially fatal illness.

>>82940
We have no definitive proof that she has it or not. She coughed, that's all.
I say try Tislomer, Dompag. That Nino guy, I don't trust him at all.

>>82936
>>82937
We suspect so, yes. We very recently had someone in to be... "cured," as it were, and, since this girl left, Finesse has displayed signs of illness.

>>82937
It is... possible. I would not act on it quite yet, however. The bossman is dealing with her illness, which may or may not be the Jynx. It may be some serious illness, or she may be faking it to get attention from the bossman. She has the hots for the bossman, see.

In any case, the boss will deal with it. You might provoke anger if you attempt to act on this information. And you do not want to attract the anger of either the bossman or Finnie. Not only are they heavily armed, but they will know where you are, because of us.

I say go for the mimic, or if that's TOO weird for you [Pansy] go for the kobold.

>>82940
She has not said herself it is Nymph's Jynx. It is only us and the bossman that think it.

For all we know it could be cholera.

Come now, if she's faking then giant ogre cock would be an appropriate retribution.

>>82937
That gobbo happens to be the bosses girl.

Do not go through with this, Dom, I can see what you are thinking. She is another's woman, however. And that would not be classy. You would lose your reputation as a class act. Could you live with that? Could you?

I think not.

>>82953
If he does, he won't have to live with himself very long... not if the Orb has anything to do with that.

to be truthful, the bossman doesn't really see the goblin as a sexual partner. he likes the swordleg curvybird.

a romp with the ogre would be just the thing to let him know how much he's losing his best friend.

Yeah, she is pretty lonely. I think you should have a talk with her, and see where it leads.

Finesse is essentially the right hand woman of the boss, and if you actually try to put your moves on her it's a betrayal of loyalty to the boss, who will NOT be pleased to say the least.

Besides she doesn't really have Nymph's Jynx, we're just fucking with you.

[Finesse's character has been built up too much to be destroyed by a horny ogre. This is depressing. I hope the bossman does something about this. YOU HEAR THAT MUSCHIO BOSS, THIS OGRE WANTS TO SCREW ALL YOUR MINIONS! DO SOMETHING]

Well you can try if you like. Muschio doesn't actually seem to want a sexual relationship with Finnesse, and if she decides to lay down with you of her own free will, I don't see how it would cause much of a problem. Hell, maybe it would get an interesting reaction out of the Boss.

Personally I don't think Finnesse would do it, though. She really has a giant crush on Muschio. Huge crush. Massive. Well, there is one possible scenario: she does actually have Nymph's Jinx, and decides she doesn't want to burden Muschio with that responsibility.

I'm really not clear on what Tislomer's availability status is; last we heard, she was dating some guy that occasionally hunts in this area, but it's been some time since we've received further information on that matter. She has a crush on Babrakus, that much is clear.

>>84805
>she does actually have Nymph's Jinx, and decides she doesn't want to burden Muschio with that responsibility.

Not likely, if anything she is likely either faking for his benefit alone, or is merely depressed that he turned out not to need her help to take care of Arabella after all.

well, we can let Muschio know that the Ogre is willing to cure her nymph's jinx...

On that note, Dom, how 'bout you check the front door for intruders before makin your move.

The point I'm making is that going by the opening of this chapter and all the other times we've talked to Finnie it's obvious that she is interested in Muschio and only Muschio. Hell, even the way Muschio talked about Finesse in the middle of the night when they were all invisible proves that he does indeed love her.
It's just subtle.
Afterall it's one thing to have a relationship completely devoted to sex like what Muschio has with Ashedel, but that isn't the only thing that makes up a relationship and it shouldn't be.
We must remember that Muschio sees Finnie as his most trustworthy and loyal companion, moreso than Ashedel. Remember their shared evil cackling when they got the portal working? The relationship between these two is there and should not be broken by this horny Dompag fellow.

Also Dompag has admitted that he screwed Ashedel; that's how he got onboard the team. What would Muschio say about that? Furthermore what would Muschio say about Dompag wanting to screw every female minion that Muschio has and will obtain in the future including his most trusted and loyal companion Finesse because he wants to screw a more permanent member of the team? As soon as we can we should tell Muschio of these things.

If Dompag has his way, it would ultimately horribly undermine the loyalty of Muschio's minions and what Muschio wants to accomplish. Dompag is bad news and the new threat to Muschio and we should treat him as such.

/quest/ haet Dompag

>>84932
Oh no, he's quite alright, its just he threatens to thrown a handy wrench in our efforts at careful manipulation the tangled skein of fate for our amusement.

In short, we don't fear him competing with the Boss, instead we fear him competing with the Boss's Boss (ie: 'us' directly.) We are meeting our reflection, and it hurts.

>>84936
if he's the reflection, he woulda been a troll...

Anyway, he won't mess everything up if he's monitored and kept under control. I mean, he has us in his head...

wait, that's a bad thing...

>>84940
So, Dompag's ability to keep it in his pants (loincloth, whatever) is entirely dependent on Anon's suggestions?

Let's hope goblins stretch easily.

This will work fine, as long as we establish a clear hierarchy for the dungeon:
New hires -> Slept with Dompag -> Slept with the boss-man
It should go without saying that Finnie is an honorary member of the third category and therefore off-limits.

Oh yeah, since no one's asked yet, Dompag, what would you do if you met the last living member of a species, and it happened to be a man?

^A hierarchy of fucking? As long as Finesse isn't touched by him I don't really care who he screws.

And he does have the much needed ability of manipulation and acting skills to go along with his seemingly immense strength.

Still, I wonder how Muschio will react at knowing Dompag screwed Ashedel? ...and him wanting to screw Finnie.

How funny. You say Finnie is the boss's girl, but then you turn around and say the boss don't see her that way. Said he ain't even into her. So she AIN'T the boss's girl. Which means I don't got to keep my hands off anything.

Oh ye gods! You'll split her apart!

See, Dompag, we are trying to set her up with him, she wants him (she has wanted him for a loong time) but he... he is very job focused, and she is very shy.

We are subtly aiding her cause.

Eh, give it an attempt if you like. What's the harm?

Well, she is not exactly the bossman's girl, but we, the cacophony of voices in your head, advise against this current course of action, as we support a Finnie/boss relationship.

Also it's not at all classy to date/fuck in the office. Not classy at all my big friend. Blow this over by asking about a weapon or trap specifics.

>"Oh! You heard that, huh? Yes... I'm awful sick, I think."

I wonder if she's a virgin?

She's rather madly in love with Muschio and not likely at all to be swooned by you, Dompag.

Oh did we mention that we are part of Muschio's consciousness? and since the majority of us would rather you not work your moves on her, that means Muschio would be against it to.

Amirite?

>>85696
Act oblivious but concerned.

"With what? Can I get you anything?"

Alright, I don't think this is actually Nymph's Jynx. Arabella didn't look this sick (Hell, she didn't even cough or rasp) when she was here. Either she doesn't have it or this is an extremely advanced case. I mean look how gaunt she is today.

>>85698

In addition, we are not actually sure it is Nymph's Jynx. We suspect so, but we have little reason to. It might just be the flu or something. We need a diagnosis before we can prescribe curative dickings, from anyone. Any dickings before said diagnosis might only have a detrimental effect.

Ask about traps.

So... if it isn't Nymph's Jynx... then...

Well Dompag, are you in the business of screwing around with sick chicks? Not too classy, man.

>>85696
Not to you perhaps, but you are hardly her trigger. Check her notebook if you don't believe us. She practically adores the guy (his family saved her father, and since then she has wanted to marry him.)

She likely though she would never have the chance, until he came knocking on her door only weeks ago. Hell, she probably though he was dead, but her she is.

You can aid us/her or hinder her/us. But know this Dompag... there is no escaping fate, and we are its heralds.

>>85702
Oh my.

...Could it be transmitted sexually?

Arabella wasn't sick for as long, and she had... a better constitution than Finnesse.

She looks intimidated. Just be polite and ask if there's anything you can do for her.

>>85704
Muschio's father saved Finnesse's family.

>>85696
Okay, above all things, DO NOT FORCE HER INTO THIS. Yes, you may trap her in a web of deceit, but I swear, if you actually RAPE her, [some of us] will come down on you HARD.

So, ROMACE her, but don't force it too much Dompag.

>>85709
He is not a raping fellow, to much a gentleman for that.

But many of will still brook no interference in these matters, subtle or not.

>>85709
She looks frightened. I do not think this will work out well for Dom unless he has a silver tongue. And a silver mouth, and a silver face.

Are you made out of silver Dom?

Aw geez, she looks really in a bad way. I mean she's coughing up a storm.
"I... Yeah, so I see. Looks serious. Do you know what it is?"
She coughs, setting her book down.

Wait a minute. Nymph's Jinx is widely known, is it not? Just come out with it and tell her you know what the cure is and that you would be willing to administer treatment.

Ask why she is so embarrassed to ask him.

(note that she isn't embarrassed to tell you)

I had a suggestion, but this one is better.

She coughs again, deep bags under her eyes highlighting the seriousness of her condition.

"Finnie, I'll help you."
>"Y-you'll... *koff koff* ask Master Muschio for me?"
"No. He ain't here and you're obviously in a bad way. But as fate would have it, I know a cure for Nymph's Jinx."

>*kof-*

uhhh I'm not sure if she likes that idea, you better have some smooth moves planned.

Uh. Be a gentleman about it and try to calm her down a bit. Make sure she knows you're not gonna force her into anything.

I just... I just can't condone this with her innocent child-self as the title picture. I just can't.

Man, she called us Mojo and said she was going to marry Lord Malto... just... oh god her inner child.
