Axebeard is the first to break through the trees.
Raital immediatly pulls up and turns the other way.

>"LAD!"
, Axebeard cries out,
>"Yer alive! And ye found yer girl! Oh, lad! Ye do me heart good, lad. Ah wanted ta come 'n save ye, but yer generals told me we'd all be dead. Ah, lad, I shoulda had more confidence in ye."

Darkmoon and Totenkopf follow shortly. They keep calm but their eyes sparkle with happiness when they see Mudy again.
>"However.."
, Darkmoon begins.
>"Vhe.. seemed to havink lost track of original path vhe were takink."

Totenkopf sighs.
>"We usually have someone to do that for us.. But.. I'm glad you're back, Mudy."

>>8596
If we can find south, let's just go that way. Anywhere away from the three blutjaegars we just sort-of-fought.

Yes, go whichever direction is away from the Blutjaegers.

>>8600
We were heading to the Dark Elves... but Ii guess we can't any more.

Guess we have to go to the Dwarves for help.

>>8596
"I'm glad you stayed safe. A fight vs. three Blutjaegers would have gone poorly. We should clear the area soon, but first, do you know anything about the Wells of Truth?"

>"I'm glad you stayed safe."
, Mudy responds to his faithful campions.
>"A fight versus three Blutjaegers would have gone poorly. We should clear the area soon, but first, do you know anything about the Wells of Truth?"

The three look at eachother, mumbling a bit and shaking their head. But from behind them Bladetree steps forth.
>"I do."
His eyes are on the sky and he raises his hand dramatically as he relays what he knows.
>"Yonder story goes that deep within the heart of the Forest of Dread lies a spring where all magical and fanastic creatures of the woods and surrounding hills come to bath. It is said that due to their presence the water has become enchanted and reflects the truth for whatever dilemma the bather may have.. However - One can only reach these springs by being told how to get there by a someone who has already been there...
>That means finding and speaking to a friendly fey."

>>8605
Please try to have less melodrama, Bladetree, we are in a dangerous situation here. Do any of you have any idea how to find a fey, or make friends with one once we find it?

>>8605
You know one, elf boy?

>>8605
"So, how do we do that? And is this one of those things where you have to bet your soul?"

>>8609

Not betting soul, heart or life anymore... ever.

>That means finding and speaking to a friendly fey
Oh god this is not going to end well.
...
Hah.
'Well.'

>>8610
Oh pish posh. We have a minor inconvenience in a sidequest. That means we bet our soul, obviously.

, Mudy stresses.
>"Do any of you have any idea how to find a fey, or make friends with one once we find it?"

Bladetree shakes his head.
>"Only mine king hath spoken to the fairy folk and returned to tell of it. Only he hath the required amount of grace and finesse!"
, he responds.
>"Some even go as far as to say that mine King was so suave, several fey followed him from the woods back to his kingdom, serving as regular items in servitude of the king to show their praise."

>>8614
Well, the King welcomed us last time. Let's go see if we can talk with one of those fey.

>>8614
"Don't wipe your nose with the back of your hand, Raital. It's unhygienic."

I assume that since everybody's lost, going back to the kingdom is out of the equation. Lets pick a direction and follow it until we know where we are.

>>8615

And avoid being accused of murder...

Darkmoooooooon!

>>8614
WAIT! Before we go to the king... Axebeard! You were an adventurer before. Have you encountered the Fair Folk?

Also the Fair Folk better not be like the Discworld's Fair Folk. Because then we are going to get raped.

>>8615

And then walk back here again, while the bludjaegers are free and willing to track us down? Nah, let's not.

Instead, let's be a suave motherfuckan bard. Let's be THE bard, let's charm the fey with out incredible charisma.

>>8616
Well (heh) according to that handy dandy map from a few chapters ago, Moonshine is NORTH of these woods so... if we can figure out which way is NORTH...

Raital simply spits in her hand and cleans Mudy's nose as well.

The dwarf's eyes light up.
>"Nay, me lad, but ah heard a few stories in me travels, if ye'd like ta hear."
, she responds,
>"A few legends here 'n there. Most be 'bout their love o' music."

Play the flute - its enchanted by the fey.

>>8623

Organize an impromptu Riverdance jig with the group. Failing that, play the flute.

>>8623
Tell me these tales. In the form of a Dwarven song.

>>8623
"Damnit, woman, do I enjoy dysentery?"
"I hope they don't mind spirit possessed flutes and music that appears to raise the dead."

Play something fun and catchy. Something that would boost moral among the group.

>>8623

"Why don't you tell us one while we get far away from here. The others can't be far behind and I would like to know where we are."

>>8623
"... Thank you, Raital. Axebeard, Can you tell me anymore about these fay and their love of music? Music I can play, but I don't want to attract anything hostile."

>>8627
"Have ye ever heard the tune 'Ale Ale Beer Beer Rum?'"

Fey returning as Items.

Sword forged of Moonlight.

Why don't we take a closer look at the sword the king gave us?

>>8635

Goddammit. You're more clever than me.

Let us check the sword we've been stubbornly ignoring till now.

Yes. the items the king gave us MIGHT actually be fey. Try to talk to them!

>"... Thank you, Raital."
When Raital removes her hand from Mudy's face he looks for the items the king gave him. Brightstrike, the shortsword forged in moonlight, and Requim of the Bane Sidhe, the mystical flute.
He puts the flute to his mouth first. Everyone looks around intently, awaiting the arrival of any fey.

Mudy plays a little tune that he has always thought fun and catchy, in the hopes of boosting morale along with summoning a fey.
He hears a female voice singing and humming along happily.

>>8639
Play louder, faster, more up beat. Dance with the music, let it take you away.

>>8639
Signal Bladetree to sing along. He is an elf after all, so his voice should be beautiful if nothing else.

Bladetree should try to talk her. He's as suave as any other elf we've met.

>>8639

The problem now is that the Fey will disappear the moment we stop playing. Someone else will have to do the talking.

The flute might be one of the items Bladetree spoke of. We could try asking it to guide us then start playing.

Mudy plays louder, faster, more up to beat. The voice begins to sing along more enthusiastically in response.
He begins to dance along and let himself be swept away by the music - But it feels like his feet are no longer on the ground.

>>8645
Let her sweep you away a moment. Play and dance with her until she is comfortable enough to talk.

oh shit stop playing

>>8645
Mudy you will now BECOME your music.

An out of body experience never killed anyone, so why not. Let her take you away, Mudy. Don't stop playing.

Because the king was SO competent and aware of his surroundings.

Represented by Virgo, the Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. This is not a time for socializing; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. Nor is it a time for action, discussion or decisions. It is a time to think, organize, ruminate, and take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent during this time of withdrawal. But such times lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

In regards to people, the Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist, someone the Querent usually sees alone, someone the rest of the Querent's friends and family may not know about. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing. They will help the Querent find what it is they are seeking.

Mudy continues to play and let himself be pulled along. Everything feels light and misty, vague and blurred. No material things matter here.
He finds himself ending the music as if it has been enough.

A single voice echoes, or a thousand voices sing.

"Is it possible for a kobold to have sex with a forest music spirit?"

>>8687

>>8680
It's one of those vague answering spirits and seem to hate open ended question, isn't it. Lets keep it simple then.

1. "How do I get out of the forest unharmed?"
2. "How do I defeat the Skullking"
3. "Is Raital my blood related sister?"

>>8693
She wouldn't have asked our name if she magically knew our true identity.

>>8680
If I said you had a nice body would you hold it against me?

"Do I have any familial relationship to the Skullking, like if I am her son?"
"How do I stop the Skullking from succeeding in taking over all the lands and defeat her altogether?"
"Have Ivar and Rune, two of my late advisors, peacefully resting in the afterlife, tended to by the spirits of hot nuns?"

"What happened to Ivar and Rune?"

I think we can cover most of these problems with one question...
"Who am I?"

>>8696

She's saying she will SOLVE the questions, not that she magically knows all the answers immidiately.

I'd like to know the location of the wells of truth but I guess we can trust flute lady.

1) where is the well of truths.

2) If i had any power, how would i regain it.

3) do you know what happened to the dwarves? (Taikah did say she blew up the dorf fortress)

or

2) what does that damn gem in my pocket dooooo~

He asks his first questions.

Mudy relaxes. He feels so good.
Everything feels light and refreshing, as if nothing outside the Wells matter anymore.

The Tote is Spiderman.

"BEST NOT BE PEEKING ON MY GIRL TOTE"

in b4 'oh god raital you got blood all over the pool'

>>8819
Let your thoughts wander to your past.

Brace for dream sequence and/or 'eek.'

>>8819
SHOUT as to surprise TOTE and make his FALL in a COMEDIC fashion.

>>8819

Fantasize about what Raital looks like right now.

>>8819
Put your nose underwater. RUB RUB RUB RUB RUB RUB RUB RUB RUB RUB RUB

>>8826
Naw dude. A bro does not rub his nose where his homies can see him, ya dig?

>>8827
We have raital for that now, we don't have to rub our own nose, geez.

Guys, Gunther and Hans are nowhere to be seen. You realize what this means, right?

They're under the water. Staring.

>>8831
Staring... at our kobold apples?

>>8819

Aren't we being too relaxed? Real world should matter, too.

>>8828

Who said anything about noserubbing? I'm talking fantasizing here.

>>8832
OH GOD

>>8834
I might have mis-clicked, but either way would make the water all bloody.

Mudy feels his mind clearing too. He let's it all slide to their place, away from chaos.
Everything is so peaceful. His eyes get heavy..

>>8839
sup rudy

>>8839
Rudy, what the hell are you doing in Mudy's dream?

>>8839
BULLSHIT

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
finally
yesyesyes

>>8839
Wake up.

>>8839

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>8839
OH SHIT
RUDY MANN IS THE FIRST HEIR
WE ARE SO FUCKED

Before we start celebrating seeing Rudy, is this vision (or indeed, the entire setting's) time period before or after Rudy woke up in a box on that plane? Because he seems much more prone to mass murder for no real reason prior to the start of Rudy Quest, so if he is still currently pre-quest Rudy, he may be absolutely terrifying. After all, he is called a godslayer for a reason.

>>8846
...oh.

Oh crap.

Okay, uh, can we bribe him with a harem or something?

Wait, no, if he is going to inherit the Skullking's empire, he can have anything he wants.

...which leaves fighting. Doublecrap.

We can take him!

well ok maybe not, but we can think of something!

Mudy's got Soul Powah.

Rudy's got nothing on him.

Suddenly, Mudy hears Raital scream!
Followed by a loud bang, and Darkmoon and Totenkopf yelling at eachother.

>"VHAT ARE YOU DOINK, YOU PIGFACE?!"
>"I'm so lonely when you're on your periiooooddd--!"

>>8851
...perhaps a co-ed Well of Truth would be a better choice.

>>8851
It is clearly our duty as lead to stop them from killing eachother! Get between them and their fighting! Face Darkmoon because she's the agressor. Tell her to stop it.

>>8851
Just... stay in the water, Mudy. Just don't get involved.

Let's comfort Tote the best we can.
With our kobold apples.

Run over to "see if Raital is ok".

:D

>>8851
Give a long suffering sigh, and order Tote into the manspring.

Try not to focus too much on the fact that the wall is now gone.

I agree. The Tote gets in the manspring or it gets the hose again.

"Totenkopf! Just relax and get in the spring. It's warm and round and so inviting~ err... I mean relaxing."

Mudy jumps out of the tub and runs over to see if poor Raital is allright!

>"Lass!"
, Axebeard just cries to the door.
It seems Raital ran out.

>>8860
Not sure if investigate...

Oh what the hell, investigate. With Axebeard.

>>8860
Don't just stand there you.. you double kobold! Go after your woman!

Run after naked Raital while also naked.

>>8860
Read Axebeard, hug Raital.

....Check if uh tote and darkmoon..nah they'll be fine, follow raital with eyes covered!

>>8860
Go after Raital, no question.

Not only are we the most emotionally attached to her, she is also our strongest comrade.

Besides, Tot and Darkmoon fight all the time, we have known this for quite a while.

And Bladetree isn't going anywhere, he seems to not give a shit about this fiasco.

But still, where the hell are Hans and Gunter? I swear if they found an apple tree....
..I would be happy for them.

Mudy runs after Raital through the hallway!
He hears one of the doors in sleeping quarters slide shut violently.
She must have gone inside.

>>8867
Open each door clockwise till you find her.

>>8867
Knock on the door she went in and ask, "Raital? Is everything alright?"

She may have seen a terrible vision as well.

Yell "Raital? Are you okay?!"

Start opening doors without knocking. Nothing can go wrong.

Dammit.. this whole Are We Latral thing is going to be hung over our head for the whole quest, isn't it?

So much for the Well of Truth.

Knock very lightly on the door and ask if she is alright.

In b4 hans and gunter pounding away on eachother.

>>8867
No time for knocking, she might be hurt!
Slam all doors open until we find her.

Mudy moves over to the door he heard being shut and knocks on it lightly.
>"Raital?"
, he asks gently.
>"Are you okay?!"

Soft sobs come from the other side.
>"Oh Mudy..
>I.. I wanted you to be the first to see me.. Just like I wanted your first kiss.."
Mudy hears a deep sigh.
>"It's all going so wrong."

>>8874

"Well uh..technically i walked into your side on accident earlier so.."

>>8874
It's ok, Raital. I saw you when I accidentally went into the wrong bath. I just didn't want to tell you.

>>8874
It'll be okay Raital. There's more firsts we can do with eachother.

>>8874

"It doesn't matter, it won't change anything."

>>8874
Slowly open the door and say, "There's still time for other firsts..."

"Oh, but you were the first I saw. I walked in on you on accident."

>>8874
This would be a time to let her know we did see her first. Go into length on how even though it was a brief glimpse, it was captivating.

>>8874
"What matters is the future we make with each other. Even if it isn't the first time, we can still make it the best time."

Don't mention us accidentally peeping on her. I doubt that will go over well.

in b4 blood elevator scene from the shining.

>>8874
"The kiss, Raital... I had a mind control collar on. And, uh... would you get mad if I said I accidentally walked in on the girl's side before I found the right one?"

Step in.

"A lot of things have gone wrong. But that's not important. We can't just dwell on mistakes made when we finally have each other."

We are naked.

Mudy clears his throat.
>"Well, uhm.. I did see you first."
, he stammers.
>"I, uh.. I accidentally walked in on you earlier."

There is a silence on the other side of the door. It feels like it lasts ages.
Just as Mudy wants to say something else he hears a loud rumble, and the door in front of him opens so violently its nearly ripped out of the wall!

Then all goes silent again.

>animated

>>8893
Go inside, Mudy. Then, go inside.

>>8893
Calmly reply; "...we have to do something about that little quirk of yours."

>>8893
"Oh, I guess it did feel kind of drafty."

>>8894

I have nothing to add.

"I'm naked by the way"

Cover self in em-bare-ass-ment as you realize you are still naked.

>>8899
this

Quick, cover your nose, you're nude!

Tell her she's cute naked

>>8895
Unless Kuhrahl was faking all her reactions to us, it might actually be a Blutjaeger thing, and since all Blutjaegers share only one parent, it would mean that this quirk has something to do with their mother, the Skullking, who was once a Kobold.

What makes this odd is that if that is true, the trigger would seem to be emotional embarrassment/arousal. And yet Mudy, who has a large amount of evidence pointing at him being Latral has not, as far as I am aware, done this before, despite having been subjected to the triggers normally associate with this... quirk.

Mudy, if Latral, is different from the Blutjaegers seen manifesting the quirk (lets call it Snoutspurt, why not) in two ways:

1. He is male, and both individuals to manifest Snoutspurt have been female.
2. He is presumably full-blood kobold.

This could mean several things. Since Mudy is demonstratably much weaker and less magically capable than the other Blutjaegers, the Snoutspurt could be a byproduct of their training or of whatver means was used to insure they did not end up full-kobold after conception. Or, the Snoutspurt could be exclusive to the female progeny of the Skullking.

Of course, all of these extrapolations ride on two things being true:
1. That Kuhrahl was not faking it.
2. That Mudy is Latral.

While likely fair assumptions, until we can concretely prove or disprove them, all guesses we come up with will be just that, guesses.

Tell her she needs less fish in her diet to reduce nosebleeds.

(it has a compound in it that makes having them easier.. also why japan has that nosebleed thing going on. they eat a lot of fish)

Mudy quickly covers himself when he realizes he's still naked!
>"Oh, I guess it did feel kind of drafty."
, he jokes in an attempt to lower the tension.

Raital keeps an intense stare locked on Mudy.

>"Mudy, are you trying to seduce me?"


>animated

>>8918
...Yes?

"May be. Do you want to be?"

>>8918
Would you believe me if I said no?

>>8918
"....Maybe?"

Mega crotch thrust in a direction away from her, one hand covering your junk with the other pointed into the air.

Then return to covering yourself fully and explain the truth.

"You seemed upset so I got worried. Guess I was in such a rush I forgot my robe."

>>8918

"That depends. Do you want to be seduced?"

"Is it working?"

>>8918
"The wall exploded!
I just wanted to make sure you were okay!" :<
Also puppydog eyes.

>>8918
"Do you want me to?"

"Do you want to be seduced or would you rather be the one doing it?"

>>8918
"I think..."
*Dramatically remove glasses*
"That you want to be seduced by me."
*Teeth glint*

"Is ...is that a problem? I can stop."

>>8918
"You mean I haven't already?"

>>8935
Saying the wrong name here would be problematic.

>>8935
Wrong Quest on the wrong site, my friend.

>>8918
"Raital, if I were trying to seduce you, I'd be doing a much better job than this. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Right before you ran off, I had sort of a vision. I thought maybe you had one too..."

>>8595
OK.

We know Blutjaegers with their eyes turned red means OH SHIT can be right around the corner.

'What do you want me to do, Raital? I just want to make you happy.'

There, fixed.

"The wall exploded so I got worried. I just wanted to make sure you were okay! Guess I was in such a rush I forgot my robe."
Mudy clears his throat.
"....Do.. Do you want me to?"

Raital squints as if she's in pain. She puts her hands on the doorframe, shivering. Mudy can hear the wood splinter at her touch.
>"M.. Mudy.. I am.. so attracted to you. Don't.. I.. I'm scared I'm going to hurt you.. Mudy.."

>>8944
Raital, I love you, and you love me. There's nothing wrong with attraction. You won't hurt me unless you try to. It's... natural to want this.

>>8944

"I know you can be gentle when you try, Raital. You need not be afraid of harming me."

Brace for death by snu-snu.

>>8944
"I've seen you be gentle before. I'm not afraid, Raital. I'm not afraid..."

>>8944
'I'm not scared Raital.
Because I trust you.
I know you don't want to hurt me, and that is enough assurance for me to feel safe around you. Knowing you care about me is all the safety I need.
We spoke before, about how you only learned about killing as a Blutjaeger. Well, I am willing to do whatever it takes to help you learn how to be happy, how to live a life of your choosing. I want to watch you learn how to care for a small animal, I want to be with you as you appreciate a sunset, I want to try to teach you how to do anything that you want to do.

Will you let me?'

>>8951
NO REGRETS
FINAL DESTINATION

And so mudy was carried the rest of the adventure, due to a broken pelvis

Man, you guys are really all for the incest, ain't ya?

Wait. How is this going to tell us our identity? And wouldn't it be better to find out if we're siblings as soon as possible?

>>8963
Oh let them have a few hours of happiness before finding out that they can't do it ever again.

>>8955
what is this?

NO FEAR

NO REGRETS

Suddenly Mudy is knocked back to the ground, but two gentle hands halt his fall. Everything is dark and warm.

>>8973
'Hey, uh, Hans, Gunther, could you go check in on Tot and Darkmoon? There was some trouble, but I am a bit busy.'

>>8992
>>8994
>>8993
Fine. Don't blame me if she ends up pregnant with a retard baby.

>>8998
Please go study genetics to see why that's extremely unlikely with a single generation of half-sibling inbreeding.

Chances of that are low. Especially since the mothers/fathers/what the hell are different.
