Stop eating souls so that an adventurer might take her home.

>>17028136
Can she sprout little wheels and a handle ?

leave the room go to next room

Become a trail of breadcrumbs stretching a long distance in more inhabited parts of the dungeon.

>>17028136
That wouldn't be very fun..

>>17028148
No but she can do this!

Just not for to long though..

Invest in advertisment for the dungeon.

Can she mimic the dungeon walls?

She should smoke some weed, then she won't care about the problem. That, and any stoners who catch a whiff will follow it like a bread crumb trail.

Win-win

Whine about what is wrong in your life.

Alternatively, strip naked.

>>17028120
Check the nearby rooms, make sure we're not behind a secret door. Prop open the secret door by just a pebble if we find one.

>>17028172
DEM EYEBROWS!

Maybe Alalia could change he outfit to be a pot instead of a chest for easier movement?

>Change into anything other then a chest

Eh hehe...

Alalia failed that whole 'shifting' thing.
A chest is all she's got.

Not only that but she's stuck in it.

>>17028211
Neither of those plans have done any good in the pas

Are there other monsters in this dungeon and/or do you have the ability to morph into weapons or armor?

We need to take the dungeon to the humans.

>>17028263
When's the last time we had dinner- I mean guests?

>>17028218
Oh shit... The hallway is halfway collapsed.

That would explain a lot.

get to the front door, you need to be in a place everyone can see.

>>17028172
>That wouldn't be very fun.

you clearly don't think big enough. dungeons are horrible places for mimics, you get one decent meal every how long? now just imagine. an adventurer comes by and discovers what he thinks is a magic talking chest, capable of sorting everything he places inside or spitting out whatever he asks for all on its own. he figures, "hey this thing could be pretty useful" so he takes it home with him. soon, the adventurer goes missing, and his belongings are given to his next of kin until he returns. but then that person goes missing, and everything is transfered to someone else. eventually you may even wind up in the hands of a member of an assassins guild, who would be more than happy to keep feeding you bodies. after all, it's fewer graves for him to dig

>>17028272
Is that loot under the rubble, examine, and maybe put loot into chest

>>17028272
can we climb over the collapsed rocks?

>>17028272
Oh shit, what now?
Erm... can you make noise? Attract some attention?

>>17028297
That... Is actually very smart.

>>17028302
Loot? Now you have Alalia's attention.

>>17028309
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Nope.

>>17028343
Well, is there any other way out? Better yet, do we actually hold any treasure inside us?

Gentlemen, our goal.

Tell the lazy bums you call roommates to clear the rubble out.


You do have some others living in this dungeon, right?

>>17028343
are there any other ways out of the room?

>>17028343
Maybe you can crush the rocks with your lid?

>>17028349
Nothing much at the moment.. A stupid collapsible rod. Some rings that don't fit on Alalia's finger.. A really crappy sword.

>>17028358
Alalia would rather not-oh god dammit she's already here.

>??? "Well well well Alalia. I was wondering how long it would take for you to notice."

That's Emsee. She disguises herself as stuff that 'looks' like they would be very useful in a puzzle.
She's such a bitch.

>>17028421
Awww damn, not her again... tell to stop making fun Alalia.

>>17028421
KICK HER IN THE BALLS.
Or, you know... convince her to try and open you or something. I dunno.

>>17028421
"Emsee; fancy seeing you here..."

>>17028421
It looks like we can use her here. Use her to move rocks. Then use the rod to do it.

sword may be crap but it's still a sword, show that bitch your stabs.

"Emsee; fancy seeing you here..."

>"Was that a pun? That was terrible. Like your mimicry skills."

Ouch..

>>17028450
No feet..
Anyway there's no way Alalia will ask that bitch for help.. Ever.. Her helping Alalia would be an insult.

And that is probably the reason why she decides to help Alalia by pushing her past the rocks.

>"Alalia dear, I saw some Heroes come though the dungeon gate a while ago. Maybe you'll finally get to eat. That is, if my 'puzzle' doesn't get to them first."

And with that she leaves.

See? She's a bitch.

>>17028526
Oh well... objective achieved.
Look around in the new room!

>>17028526
"At least I have substance, unlike your contents."

>>17028539
Fucking bitch.

Well, what do we know of our home? Any major thoroughfares?

>>17028539
Help out the adventurers. To gain their trust.

Then go though with this:>>17028297

>>17028555
yes, help them out and stuff for a bit and then have them beat her.

"At least I have substance, unlike your contents!"

She's already gone..

>>17028555
Yeah.. That'll show that bitch.
No food for her while Alalia gets 'all the food'.

>>17028297
or just eat anyone who tries to steal from the chest

>>17028548
ugh... More doors and hallways.
Alalia doesn't even remember which door led to the start or which ones have a Sphere of Annihilation behind them

>>17028629
How cautiously can we poke them without setting off traps?

>>17028629
The door at the back. That one look safe.

open them by using the sword like a pry bar. would prevent you from being in the line of fire of any traps.

>>17028629
whats to the right of the door in the back, more hallway?

if so, might want to carefully check around the corner see if anythings coming.

>>17028695
Sure, why not...

Alalia goes and opens the do-NOPE THAT ONE IS NOT GOOD.

>>17028766
Beyond the hallway is more hallway but it's also pitch black.
There's another demon there that Alalia would rather not mess with

>>17028769
>Tentacles.
>Anime-eyed Mimic
What do you mean? That door is PERFECT.

stab stab stab!

>>17028769
Huh. Must of just been my /d/ senses messing with me.

Try the one on the left.

>>17028769
>>17028789

so either left or right door...

LEFT for great annihilation?

Alalia decides to go to the left. Oh hey it's a secret door. It opens into another room where a Hero stands over two pots.
One is filled with a blue liquid and another with a red one.

>Hero "Hmm.. If only I had some water maybe I could dilute it."

Emsee is disguised as a water jug in the corner.

>>17028906
Totally ruin emsee's disquise.

>>17028906
Place Emsee inside of yourself.

just hop in and say "AUGH! you are so bad at this i feel sorry for you, jeez. nether do anything they are both horrible"

>>17028906

suddenly there is a huge chest inside the room. not suspicious AT ALL.

>>17028906
Shout

"This a trap. A demon named Emisee has disguised herself as a pot of water of there. She's going to eat your soul when you try to use her to sole the puzzle."

>>17028917
THIS

Alalia bursts into the room

"This a trap! A demon named Emsee has disguised herself as a pot of water and she's going to eat your soul when you try to use her to solve the puzzle!"

>Emsee "God dammit Alalia, I almost had her!"

The hero then attacks and brutally slays Emsee.

Bitch had it coming.

>>17029019
>>17028917
"No you didn't! It was a stupid idea to begin with. All I'm doing is just saving everybody twenty minutes of their life."

Knock Emsee over with a vengeful shove.

>>17029019

Sorry, Emsee, no honour amongst demons.

>>17029032
Things are finally looking up!

now quickly put both arms up in the air so they know you aren't hostile. and say you are tired of this dungeon business, the occupational hazards are just too high.

>>17029064
Agreed.

Why do we have to eat adventurer souls anyway? Civilians would be so much easier, it's like trying to eat tiger when you could eat a cow.

>>17029032

well now, we are in all sorts of trouble. lets hope we're in good standings with the adventurer for pointing out the trap.

>>17029064
"I've been stuck in a room for the last two hundred years, because of a cave in! I don't even remember what the hell it is I'm supposed to be guarding anymore."

>>17029064
Fuck eating souls! We're going to become an adventure mimic.

>>17028789

You should warn adventurer about the dark part of the hallway. "There is a Grue in there, you are likely to be eaten"

>>17029119
Icanthinkofnopossiblewaythiscouldgowrong.png

Alalia puts her arms up to show she's not dangerous.

"Hey woah good job killing that one. She's pretty damn evil. Not like me, nope."

>"..."

"Listen I really hate this here dungeon. I want to go out and go adventuring and stuff you know. Maybe fight alongside you..?"

>"..."

The hero isn't convinced. Can't blame her really.

>>17029194
Don't stab me?

>>17029194
Can Alalia walk out of the room and hide anywhere? Or are we completely fucked if we can't convince her to take us with her?

>>17029194
"See these eyebrows? Do you think anyone with eyebrows this thick can lie?"

Alternatively: "Look, how about I give you some more advice? Don't go into the door in the back of the hall.....unless you're into that sort of thing."

>>17029194
dump the useless junk from your chest as a gift, it IS all useless right?

informing the adventurer of the hallway demon would be a good thing too

>>17029194
Use the "Hey, I saved your life there, you owe me one!" argument.
It almost never fails on these kind of situations.

>>17029194
You don't trust me. I respect that. That means you're not stupid. Stupid people tend not to last long here.

Look at this way though. If I wanted you dead, I would have let the bitch in a jar deal with you. And In case you haven't noticed, I'm in a box. Unless you stick your head directly between my hinges, I'm not really that much of a threat.

>>17029119
FUCK. YES.

"You don't trust me. I respect that. That means you're not stupid. Stupid people tend not to last long here. Look at this way though. If I wanted you dead, I would have let the bitch in a jar deal with you. And In case you haven't noticed, I'm in a box. Unless you stick your head directly between my hinges, I'm not really that much of a threat."

"...."

>"And just look at these eyebrows, you think anyone with eyebrows this thick can lie to you?"

She laughs a bit.

Good. Laughter is good. Let's save the 'You own me one' for later.

>>17029250
Seems to be the best option to me.

>>17029331
"So, you're not gonna shank me then?"

>>17029331
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Alalia. I'm a mimic. I like putting big things inside of me. Nice to meet you!."

Here you go.

>>17029367
Except there's no spoiler option for /tg/.

Dammit.

>>17029362

Why are you coming onto her? She's a chick. Now she's going to think we're a slut. Save it for when we meet a guy in a rove and wizard hat.

>>17029384
I was actually going for the innocent fanservice girl tyoe thing with that.

>>17029367
if /tg/ ever gets spoilers, this needs to be it

>>17029384
She might be into women
... who are boxes
... and are demons
... and are mostly inanimate

Yeah, save the line.

>>17029384
Well we are a demon. Our mind is kind of in the gutter by default

>>17029406
saving.

"So, you're not gonna shank me then?"

>"... No, I think I'll keep you around. Tell me mimc, what can you do?"

"Well I can store items and stuff."

>"And why is it you want to adventure? Besides not being to fond of this dungeon that is."

"Uh..."

Actually Alalia kinda just wants to eat the souls of whoever uses her..

>>17029446
lots more souls adventuring than sitting in a dungeon. we can be honest here.

but call SOULS FOOD, please. please please. they don't need to know you actually take the soul

>>17029446
>>"And why is it you want to adventure? Besides not being to fond of this dungeon that is."

I want to improve. See, I'm stuck with mimicing this chest. Can't do anything else. Nada. Nothing.
You adventurers improve all so time, so I'd hoped it might help me as well.

>>17029446
Read a book that some other adventurer was carrying. The book was about....adventurers. We thought it was cool but there was a cave in that trapped us before we could leave.

And if that she doesn't believe it, offer to be her best friend.

>>17029446
Do you know the last time I had a conversation with someone who wasn't an annoying demon?

Two hundred years. Two hundreds years since I've managed to hold a conversation that didn't devolve into insults about how I'm stuck in a box.

Please just take me from here. Please.

>>17029446
"I've been sooooo lonely, and the other monsters are mean to me (!_!)"

>>17029464
>>17029467
>>17029476
>>17029488
so... lots of reasons?

>>17029506
so much this

>>17029446
All the other demons are mean to me because of my freakishly huge eyebrows. I need a wizard to fix them.

"I've been stuck in this box form for years. I can't change into anything else. Nada. So I'm hoping that I'll go on adventures and stuff and learn how to do new things."

>"So you want to learn better ways to fool people?"

"No no no. I like people. Love em. After 200 years of being around an annoying as fuck demon who constantly insulted me I'd love to be around humans. Just give me a chance. Take me out of here. Please?"

Alalia gives her best puppy dog eyes.

-----------------------------------------------------

Hehehe. No one can resist the puppy dog eyes.

The girl shows you to her group and explains how she didn't get any treasure but she got a new teammate. A dwarf grumbles while the elf girl(?) looks at Alalia in disgust.

Alalia takes her first breath of fresh air in decades.

>>17029564
>>"So you want to learn better ways to fool people?"

Perhaps. Being able to walk around on a pair of legs would be enough for me, though.

>>17029564
yeah, you don't need to eat humans.

kobolds have souls, right? we can TOTALLY make friends with one tribe of soul-walkers and eat another. they're cool with that. just make sure to pay attention to which are at war with each other, and eat the ones at war with your human friends.

>>17029580
Yesssss. We're moving on up in the world.

>>17029580
Now would be a bad time to learn that we've developed hay fever.

We need some new wheels asap.

By the way, *was* there any treasure hidden in there? Something to get on these other fools good side?

>>17029580
Well, we're at least one level higher now. We can even see the sky.
That has got to net us some improvements - try to change our form into something different than a chest.

Has it ever occurred to anybody to check what our contents are? I mean, there ought to be something in us that could be useful.

hand over the sword and stick thingy, they are useless to you and may make them slightly less grumbly about you.

>>17029638

see:

>>17028421

Something to keep in mind: chances are the others don't trust us enough to give us a chance to eat them all in their sleep without it being a trick.
Especially if it looks like the elf is the one sleeping on watch.

>>17029638
Second. We need an inventory. Or even the ability to have an inventory.

If we can hold stuff, we can be useful! Which might make dwarf girl hate us less.

>>17029580
we need to earn the trust of the rest of the party, sotell them some more information about the dungeon - perhaps about the tentacle door. Don't tell them everything though, we need to have some tricks up our sleeve in case the shit hits.

Also offer to carry any of their heavy equipment - emphasise how much better at fighting they will be when they are lighter on their feet.

>iatisto says,

So sayeth the great iatisto.

We have some rings, a collapsible stick, and a crappy sword.

Do we need to eat human souls? I'm trying to think of a way where we can have the protection of an adventuring group, but still eat souls. Maybe the always-evil-not-racist-at-all-races, like orcs, or kobolds, or something like that?

>>17029611
ACHOOO!!

>Dwarf: "Oi, she sneezes treasure? I like this one."
-------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 1 End

Can we ask them to leave us in a bedroom at the next inn they stop at?

Because we'd have so many delicious mortals to pull inside our chest and devour if we were at an inn.

>>17029667
the other option is to try and get the adventuring group to kill some of the other monsters for us so that we have our choice of the best spots in the dungeon.

>>17029686
I was expecting her to rock backwards, with her lid swinging over her head when she sneezed

>>17029686
we can haz mimicgirl thread now?

>>17029688
Bad plan; if the inn learns that any customers they place in that room are going missing, we won't last long. We must learn patience. For now.
>>17029686
... I can't believe that worked.
>>17029694
They're gonna loot the dungeon when they're done. Why would any other adventurers go there?

>>17029708
Mimic girl thread?

>>17029716
notice I said "some" - we earn their trust, then use them but we screw them over before they get the macguffin. Even if they do partially loot the dungeon other monsters will come later and "restock" the dungeon with pillaged treasures. All part of the circle of life man, dungeon ecology 101.

>>17029734
There are no words to express how relevant that is to my interests.

But that's the only mimic girl pic I've seen. Are there any others?

I think it would be better if we took our souls from things the adventurers kill.

We can act as their dungeoneering guide. Pointing out ins and outs of the more common traps and pitfalls

>>17029716

Isn't that more or less the reason mimics and similar live in dungeons to begin with? Sure, it makes humans relatively few and far between, but humans appearing one at a time don't notice each other going missing around you, put two and two together, and make you very dead very fast.

>Captcha: HidingGP 131

I'm guessing this is your inventory after sneezing out the rings? try to hang on to it.

>>17029734
>>17029791
yes, I agree. this is one million times sexy.

and entirely rare

Eat souls... FOR JUSTICE!
THE FIRST MIMIC PALADIN ON THE STORY OF /TG/!

>>17029686
Any idea on when we can expect chapter 2?

>>17029854
Tomorrow most likely around the same time this one start.
Mark your calendars!

>>17029864
man, my weekends are packed with quests now.

Mimicquest saturday and sunday at noon, fairyquest at eightish...

I am tempted to look into some of the other interesting quests, but if I do that means my entire weekend will be quests.

>>17029822
Delightful.

also, someone archive this, as the first of what I hope is a budding questline

>>17029877
go to tgchan and your entire MONTH will be quests. art quests too, not these 100 chapter text quests that are impossible to catch up with.

>>17029881

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17028120/
Already being taken care of

>>17029892
On the other hand, he'll be on tgchan, then.
And nothing is worth that audience.

Dude, being a "Good" Aligned mimic would be so much more advantageous. Just think. "Hey hero, set me up in your castle so I can devour the hordes of stupid evil creatures which invade all the time." Goblin raid? Lunch. Kobold swarm? Lunch. You could be a glutton for justice rather than some dickwad who only on occasion eats one lousy adventurer.

>>17029892
Whenever I go to /tg/chan, there aren't any good looking NEW quests going on.

It's much more satisfying if you're in on it from near the beginning, and the ones there are mostly ongoing as hell.

Alalia is cool, but god damnit i hate most of the Mimics.
Specially this.

>>17029905
oh, and the few times I tried to get into a quest, they went on for one thread and didn't continue.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MAOLLA SYRUP

Or that one half goblin/elf from gobbo quest?

>>17029923
Needs more eyebrows.

>>17029892

>Be a gundam fan
>Miss the entirety of Zeon Quest

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

do you guys remember dorf quest?

playing that was fucking AWESOME. I have no idea how it would be if I was reading it in an archive. What about the garrelf betrayals? Or the dorfbeard being an unlimited engine of destruction? Are they as... awesome if you're just reading?

>>17029931
those are in a loop. next is gonna be chapter 2 of lunar quest, then chapter 2 of will of the undermind.

Why is this not archived?
