Bear and me had captured and enslaved an 'octopus girl' for lewd intentions (to fuck her). the girl was an ordinary human girl about 20 with long brown hair and completely naked but only when Bear dealt with her. i couldnt really see what he looked like other than he wore a white shirt. because my brain is dumb when i touched the girl i just held a dead octopus the size of a human. very un-sexy and very uncool. this went back and forth several times to my confusion. octopus girl meant i had the octopus and Bear had the girl.  Bear moved the naked girl into a train and i was trainsurfing on top of an old electric locomotive. was just as idiotic as it sounds. the train was unusually small just wide enough for me to sit on top. i only wore socks and my feet were dangerously close to small electric coils that threw sparks. i tried to get my feet out of the way and prevent getting electrocuted. somehow my brain realized electric trains work by getting electricity from overhead lines and there must be deadly high voltage above me. then i woke up.

very odd. ofc didnt even get a good view of the naked girl let alone touch her. wif is this shit? i blame dnd for the octopus. we need more naked girls in the game to boost my dreams!

its salvation
clerics and undead are natural enemies. cant expect a cleric to take orders from an undead

Alice watches Yulyas performance with astonishment
Hey is she being possessed by some god like Ashley back then?

Alice moves in front of Yulya as Mormesk charges his wand
Hey hey we said we're off to get you this guy's head! There's no point in fighting over formalities! All is good, let's get along!

Alice whispers to Ashley
No idea how you do this but great job turning the tide! We tried to be nice to him and it only escalated things!

Alice gesticulates to Cat to help shove an angry Yulya away from Mormesk
Not that you're wrong but you could have formulated this a little better! You're not immortal like me and nobody can revive you if you are killed! Damn I must get my old form back, this would solve a lot of problems. Haa, if only we had THEM ready before I departed on my journey! Oh yeah, issues with cocky mages and undead acting tough would literally disappear in an instant!

Despite several near-death experiences, getting robbed and insulted, Alice still firmly retains her positive attitude towards Mormesk for whatever alien reason. She waves goodbye to the unhinged undead while laughing to herself.
See you! We won't disappoint you! I still wish you'd join us, you'll miss all the fun!

I hope you got your plushie!



Dude's so old he's prolly immortal from drinking fetal blood anyway.

Ashley sees Yulya's direct defiance of the defender of the mountain and as he charges his wand she jumps in,



"Now you decide to act tough? I'm supposed to be the impudent liability!" Ashley rolls her eyes. "Mr. Mormesk, yeah so you kinda hurt her feelings I think when you thought she was a criminal. Now, I'll take that responsibility of looting, Alice is the one who used the explosives, technically Cat and Yulya did fight the ghouls, but they attacked us first in all fairness. So maybe it was different 300 years ago, but adventurers accept quests not ultimatums. If you think we can kill Nezzer, and you obviously don't think you can just go snuff him out easily, then maybe don't poke the hornet's nest. Didn't you have any royal protocol back in the day? We are under contract with a royal mage just like you already and if you don't want the Leilon royal army in here looking for us, maybe don't kill us so flippantly.

[Intimidation/Persuasion vs DC20 1d20+11=23]

Ashley wipes her brow, "We'll bring you his head for pay, and if that clears our name, then fine, otherwise you'll have to give us a chance to prove we're telling the truth in some other way if we fail."

Ashley's words have soothed him, he had never heard of a kingdom of Leilon but after probing her memories he took that at least at face value. Without a word he lowered his wand and paused.

"Yeah, so if we do kill the guy, which may or may not happen, how much will you give us for it?"

He seems to indicate it'll be worth 4 mythril coins.

Ashley blinks, that's 40 platinum... "That's a start, and we'll take that wand back and the frog and get to keep the rings of course. Also this crystal is now owned by the current owners of this mountain, who we are also under contract with to retrieve, and that's not you."

He chuckles in a eerily frightening way, "You have a knack for negotiation that reminds me of my times with my own party."

[Luck 1d20=17]

"You will be granted this if you return with the head, and if not, you will return with this royal mage for further investigation and verification."

"Deal Yulya? I bet Summer would be up for it."

[He's keeping the offerings as collateral until you clear your name and is otherwise willing to seek other means to clear your names. The choice remains.]
