Amy’s about to say something as she hits the barrier and disappears in a swirl of magic. Anna and Summer both follow after, and for the first time you realized just how weird that really looks. You shrug and head inside and see an old castle with a lowered draw bridge and a path that leads down underneath it, probably to a servants entrance or something of the sort.

Amy whistles, “Well how do we want to do this, all in one group or split up? I personally vote all down the bridge, and find the thone. It’s gotta be where its at.”

Mary points to the path leading down, “I-I’d rather go down there… as a group”

Summer looks between the two, “We’ve got six, why not two groups of three? I call team captain of one group.”

Anna shrugs, “I don’t really care either way, so long as we get it done.”

Jessica looks between Summer and Amy, “I’ll go where Amy does, she looks sturdy.”

You hum, wondering if you can’t convince them to settled on an idea.

We are facing an extremely strong enemy and splitting the group will only hurt us. Servants quarter to at least make an attempt at sneakiness

Writing now ish

>>36355863
You don't have to remember right. There is a character sheet linked in op. But yes you can do a little healing.

>>36355952
Looks like we're sort of cruising for an after mission orgy (or at the very least after mission circle molestation), whether we like it or not. Whoops.

>>36356104
No thank you.

>>36355695

Wonder how many tokens we can get with this repaying business.

>>36356104
We just make mirror images and then run away as fast as possible.
Speaking of running away,
>>36355952
What are the chances of us developing a "mirror travel" magic when we eat the next core?

>>36356209
>We just make mirror images and then run away as fast as possible.
I would actually feel a bit bad about that: we've been molesting them for gain, so it seems fair that they at least get equivalent treatment.

>>36356209
They get a little groping out of it at least.. I mean we've been copping feels. We don't let them do the same and we're kinda being a bitch.

>>36356209

Nah don't be a pussy. What's the fun in that?

There is also the question of how many will actually survive this shit.

>>36356401
E-everyone, of course! Mary is fifty-fifty on "only death" and "sole survivor save for Alex"

>>36356447
Nope. Everybody is going to survive.
If only one person dies, there would be no afterward sexyness.

We should share this core with SA through a kiss.

>>36356521
Implying we're not going to put it inside of her then eat it out of her.

>>36356521
I have the sneaking suspicion that giving Shadow Alex a Core makes her stronger without really strengthening us. And Beth told us that wasn't a good thing.
I'd rather not risk it, even if Shadow Alex is a Bro.

>>36356564
We should at least bring out Shadow Alex for the orgy

>>36356572
We're not having an orgy

>>36356560
>>36356564
Yeah, SA got the last one, this one's ours.
>>36356572
Eh, if we don't end up needing her for bossfight I'd say no.
We probably will, though, so whatever.

>>36356564
Share as in half each, dummy.

>>36356591
Why not?
Convince me why I shouldn't vote for it

>>36356593
Why not? Literally twice the fun to bring her along.

>>36356630
Manifesting shadow is a big deal, according to Beth. The other girls might wig out over it.

>>36356623
Not the person, but I'd rather not have sex with strangers without clarifying boundaries with Beth. I'm up for letting them repay what we did to them, though.

>>36356623
Its a shit thing to do to Beth.

we just fucking told her we would cool it a bit like 2 or 3 threads ago.

>>36356623
'Cos I don't want it to happen

>>36356673
They don't need to know it's our shadow, can just tell them it's a special clone.

>>36356675
>>36356685
Both good reasons. Congratulations, you have convinced me.

>>36356685
>>36356675

And this is why waifus are shit in smut quests.

I really, really hope Beth's next change make her as chill as Alex and waaaay more lecherous than she is right now.

>>36356623
Maybe the fact we have a girlfriend AND a Pet Catgirl, both of whom have expressed concern about us being a bit too willing to give in and indulge?
Or the fact that, no matter how awesome Shadow Alex is, she is still more interested in indulging in pleasures and good old fashioned hedonism than in what is actually good and healthy for us?
Granted, we can talk tp her and hopefully make her less "Id personified" and more Human in hee thought processes.

>>36356740
>waifus are shit in smut quests.
This isn't a smut quest tho

>>36356769
Don't start that shit again. Agree to disagree and move on. Christ.

>>36356740
Would rather make her more like Liz from BFQ.

>>36356769
oh my god why is this argument happening again

>>36356740
Maybe if we respect her wishes she'll capitulate. Remember when she took Alex in the park?

So if we keep using Mirror Image to escape sticky situations I'm so sorry, will we eventually develop it into a habit, resulting in reflexive casting?
Spontaneous escape contingencies are great for survivability.

>>36356769
Not this again.

>>36356765
>Because of Beth we miss out on a dragon and succubus

Goddamnit Beth..

>>36356792

Hell no, fuck that shit. Liz was terrible and not fun.

>>36356820
That's the problem with having a "WAIFU"

Everything else that comes along that might be loads of fun is now fucked up because vanilla back at home might get upset.

>>36356827
She was ok with stuff as long as we included her, and was ok with most other stuff if we just informed her.

>>36356740
>smut quests.
This. Is. Not. A. Smut. Quest.
This is a quest with smut in it. The smut was not meant to be the point of the quest from the start.
I understand that many of us want more smut and I would love to see an orgy involving Demon amd Dragon girls, but such things have consequences.
Not CONSEQUENCES, where things happen just to make us suffer, but consequences as in the things that actions have in real life.

You can't expect fo cheat on your girlfriend and then have everything go perfectly well.

>Go in through servants quarter

“Has no one ever seen, or played any media in the last ever?” You shake your head in disappointment, “When people split up bad shit happens, every single damn time.”

Summer frowns, “That’s actually a good point…”

Amy shrugs, “So what do you suggest then?”

“Why not go in through Servants quarters and at least pretend to be sneaky before it all goes to shit and we fight our way in anyways.”

Amy shrugs, “Sure, I still like going in the front better, but whatever,” she leads the way down into the dried up moat, a small wooden bridge leading across the river bed and around the castle base. Theres a small wooden door that looks like its decaying and barely sturdy enough to hold its own weight.

Anna gives the door a tug only to find it doesn’t budge before Amy gives it a swift kick that causes it to become splinters.

Mary sputters at this, “Wh-why didn’t you just take the hinges off!?”

Amy burning red eyes focus on Mary, “Because this was easier, faster, and stress relieving.”

Summers is wandering into the halls already using the light from her staff to lead the way, humming as she does so. You follow after into an open room with several bunks covered in tattered rags and hay filled mattresses. Summer’s stopped at the start of a hallway, motioning for you to hurry up.

“You want to take the left and I’ll get the right?” she gestures to the hallway.

With a quick look you realize what she’s talking about as there’s two demons, the left one looks to be a minotaur and the right a classic looking water elemental that is hosing down the minotaur.

>>36356905
>>Yo’ Freight train, there’s a job for you.

Guys, let's just keep succuboobs and dragonbutt alive, then we can tell our girlfriend about them and invite them for a marathon fuck or something. Jesus.

>>36356905
>Yeah, sure.

>Ability (Which?)

Shattered Mirror it, that usually works.

>>36356905

>>36356905

But can't we still use Shattered Mirror on one of the targets like the minotaur? Support debuffs ho?

>>36356820
Collect phone numbers, meet again. Its not like they'll stop existing after this.

>Discussing smut or not smut again

Honestly someone last thread brought up a good point of, "If I recommend this to someone else I have to warn them of smut" so by extension I'd say its fair to call it a smut quest.

That aside does it really matter if its a smut quest or not? Outside of some people not actually wanting to read smut.

>>36356932
Nah man no need to be like that. People just need to relax is all.

>>36356999
Yes, you can.

>>36356932
We don't tell you to fuck off.

>>36357021
I'm not the one trying to start an argument over what label to apply to this quest.

>>36357020
>"If I recommend this to someone else I have to warn them of smut" so by extension I'd say its fair to call it a smut quest.
If I recommend you an adult movie with lots of action, do I have to warn you if there's a sex scene?

No. Because that isn't a porno. That guy's simply over sensitive.

>>36357020
>Yes, you can.
Then lets do that it.

>>36356905
>>36356948 here. Add
>>Shattered Mirror the minotaur

>>36357086

The difference is this quest has waaaay more shit than an action film with a single sex scene.

And will have more and more.

>>36357158
>The difference is this quest has waaaay more shit than an action film with a single sex scene.
How many sex scenes have we had per thread? Maybe 0.3?

It looks like people want to call Amy and debuff the minotaur.

I really just view it as tags on a story. It has 'x' not needlessly it is a primary aspect of it, just it has 'smut' in this case.

OP, is there any reason I'm convinced Jessica is into magical girl vore?

>>36357316
Because she wants us inside her?

>>36357316
Because she's a megooca that explicitly mentioned getting "full" off of the implied post demon celebration?

>>36357460
Pretty sure that means she's gonna drink our pussy juice, not literally eat us.

>>36357507
She only has to eat a little bit of us. Who knows, maybe she can feed on sweat and dead skin cells or something: she's basically be a sexy beauty salon, exfoliating skin while giving them an orgasm.

Man, those were some piss-poor rolls.

>>36357726
Eh, it was a pass, that's all that matters.

>Yo’ Freight train, there’s a job for you.
>Use shattered mirror on the minotaur.

You glance at the minotaur then back to Amy arguing with Mary, “Yo, Freight train, there’s a job for you.”

Amy looks over, “Yeah? Good I was done with this anyways,” she leaves Mary who’s even less visible than usual behind and takes a look, “Which is mine?”

“The one on the left, I’ve got the water thing,” Summer’s explains as she starts charging magic into her staff, the head of it growing brighter as she does so.

“Sweet,” Amy grins and claps her hands together a small spark of flame growing between her hands into a proper fireball, though it doesn’t stop there as she pulls it out to be the size of her torso.

While you’re watching this you reach into your book of mirrors and give a tug on magic planning on weakening the minotaur.

Summer finishes her attack first, sending a small bolt of lightning towards the water elemental that fizzles out mid way there.

It caches both demon’s attention though, just before you throw a person sized mirror at the Minotaur. He punches it, probably trying to knock it away, you grin as it shatters sending large shards that stick into his chest and face.

Amy laughs, probably at Summer, causing you to glance her way; you nearly flinch back as its gotten to almost too large to fit down the hallway. She steps back before giving it a solid punch sending the over sized fireball down at the Minotaur.
1/2

>>36357886

It roars and tries to punch it back, once again a bad idea and the fireball explodes evaporating all the water save for half of the Water Elemental. After the smoke clears you see the Minotaur on its knees, mostly charred.

Amy looks surprised that the either of them are still alive, “Huh, how surprising.”

The Water Elemental is glowing, probably getting ready for an attack.

Out of the corner of your eye, you notice Summer blushing.

>>36357912

Time to finally try out I'll Be Taking That. Even if we don't steal it we should be able to block it, at least.

>>36357912
>Counter the water Elemental. You’re not sure if your normal attacks will work

>>36357974
Should be interesting, though challenging: we'll need an 18 on the die, so the bare minimum roll would be a six with the last two dice adding up to six.

>>36357912
>>Counter the water Elemental. You’re not sure if your normal attacks will work

>>36357912
Counter the water elemental. Reflect its attack back.

Rolled 3, 2, 6 + 5 = 16 (3d6 + 5)

>>36357912
>Counter the water Elemental. You’re not sure if your normal attacks will work

As others have mentioned, we'll be taking that. Might "take" the entire elemental for a bit.

>>36358017
>You may willingly take 2 'Darkness' on a roll for flat +6 once per roll, this applies to stat the roll is made on. (Only on failure)
As long as we make 12, we can pass it easy enough.

>>36358079
inb4 we bring home a pet googirl
and beth is all 'you know what, that's completely fine'

>>36358104
We'd need a bucket/barrel, ahahah.

>>36358080
True. I was just commenting on the probability of getting at least what we need to succeed. I think we have a 12% chance on one roll (1/6 chance to roll a six times 26/36 chance to roll at least a 6 on the other two dice), though I'm not sure how to calculate those odds on a best of three basis.

>>36358104
Unless you're talking about the megooca, we can't take the elemental with us: it drops out when we drop the magical girl armor.

>>36358130
And I forgot, that doesn't take into account what >>36358080 said about voluntarily taking darkness to boost our roll by six, in which case we would either need a minimum of twelve on all three rolls (I think an even fifty percent chance?) or a single six.

Rolled 1, 1, 4 + 4 = 10 (3d6 + 4)

Calling for:
>Counter the water Elemental. You’re not sure if your normal attacks will work

Seems like people want to try out I'll be taking that.

>>36358226
Livin on the edge.

>>36358226
Well, look at that. 24 on the dot.

Bit of a shame that the enemy kinda flubbed this attack.

>>36358257
Eh?

>>36358283
The exact number we needed with the least amount of Darkness taken: no matter what we would have taken on Darkness, but this way we only take a single point. >>36358224 would have required two points for the +6, and >>36358223 was an outright fail.

>>36358334
I like taking darkness though

>>36358388
Oh don't worry, we will be.

>>36358388
We don't need to overload though, that would be problematic.

>>36358388
Oh well in that case I guess you wanted my roll >>36358231 , which was the absolute most wasteful successful roll. Well, along with the guy above me.

You apart to get rid of Alex's glorious legs. Really?

I'd prefer non-bestial mutations. More perfectly human is the way to go. Softer skin, better... tracts of land, etc.

Though cat-eyes and retractable claws are fun.

>>36358689
They can translate into a glorious tail

>>36358689
Okay how about bear? Alex gets Hueg and gains claws and adorable fuzzy ears.

I'd like to go full monstergirl on e ortwice, then reset the transformations and try something else.

>>36358728
I can imagine becoming Rayman, and losing the glorious legs.

>>36358755
Lets not get something that interferes too much with our social life just yet.
At least until we can do proper illusions to disguise how we look.

>>36358790
What social life? The only people we've interacted with so far know about magic.

>Counter the water Elemental. You’re not sure if your normal attacks will work

Summer’s ducks behind the wall as the water elemental fires a glowing ball of blue. Amy doesn’t even bother moving out of the way as she readies a bubble of flame around her.

You pull on magic, and feel it respond willing to you, perhaps a little too willingly, as you throw out two mirrors. Each on either side of the water bolt, and you slowly shrink it down until their back to what will fit inside of your book. With a smile you store it away for later. A rather simplistic ability, you decide but probably handy.

Amy shrugs and sprints down the hall with her flame bubble still up and dive tackles the minotaur exploding as she does so. Literally roasting the Minotaur who tries to Elbow drop her.

Summer see’s her chance and slams her staff down into the ground causing the Red lightning ontop of her staff to flash dangerously. A flash and thunderclap that happens practically at the same time hits the water elemental who evaporates leaving cracked stones and a blue core where it was standing.

Amy stands up with a grin holding the brown core that the minotaur left, “You called for a Freight train, I delivered.”

>Yo Summer, that was an impressive first strike.

“Yeah?” You grin at Amy, “I can see why you don’t do subtle, fuck if I hit like that I certainly wouldn’t even bother with anything other than straight forward.”

Amy nods as she starts heading down the hallway, core in her left hand, “Never bothered with anything but myself.”

You and Summer follow after, Anna behind you two with Jess and Mary in the back.

Summer huffs, “I can do that too. I did it with the lightning strike.”

“Sure, but that first strike was pretty awful and ruined first impressions,” you taunt Summer with a smile.

“Well its not like you’re exactly impressive, you hardly hurt the minotaur with that exploding mirror,” Summer points out.

You almost laugh, “That’s because that doesn’t hurt as a primary function. It weakens whatever it hits and deals damage as a secondary action.”

Summer opens her mouth to counter, then frowns having nothing really to come back to that.

Amy has turned ahead, leaving the hallway and started heading up the stairs, “I’m heading this way, I doubt it’s down here.”

Summer shrugs as she starts to follow after Army, apparently not too worried either way.

You cringe as they don’t finish exploring one floor before moving onto the next, your senses as a gamer are screaming at you.

Anna looks between the stairs and the hallway cringing much like you are.

>You have to finish exploring this floor… its a rule almost.

>>36360095

>>36360408
Honestly the only reason that combat was easy was Amy hit triple 6 on roll with a small aoe burst in a tight area. She melted hp.

That said also playing with difficulty and trying to find balance.

>>36360501
It's kind of a combination of combats taking a while when posted as opposed to face to face and, no offense to you, your posting speed. I know that there are good reasons behind your slow posting speeds (albeit they're not Hexer slow), but it still moves like a turtle.

>You have to finish exploring this floor… its a rule almost.

You look up at Amy and Summer, then back to the hallway, “Yo’ Ive got to finish exploring this hallway, it’ll drive me insane if I don’t.”

Amy looks back at you and shrugs, “I’ll be fine. Hurry up, unless you’re scared to go alone?”

You shake your head, gesturing to Anna, “We’ll be fine, especially if everythings like that last fight.”

Jessica looks between you and Amy before following her, Mary shortly behind her, “No offense but uh, I’ll stay with them.”

You briefly think back to movies and video games but shrug and figure if shit hits the fan you can always summon Shadow Alex.

Anna has already started moving down the hall hardly waiting for you as you call out to the others, “We’ll catch up, later,” and jog to catch up to Anna.

There’s three doors on either side of the hallway, no light coming from the cracks in them or the frames, save for the last door at the end of the hall, its a double door.

Anna looks you then all the doors, “You want to hit the one at the end first or check to make sure these aren’t filled with Demons in wait?”

>Go big or go home, hit the last door first.
>Summon Shadow Alex and check every door.
>Check the first six doors then hit the lit up one.

Writing now. Perhaps less waiting this time? I'm going to make an effort to be less slow.

>>36361319
It would be nice, but don't stress yourself over it. I'd rather it be a slow game than a non-existent one.

>>36361384
This. Take your time Hap, quality over quantity.

... And now I'm realizing that the two trackers of the group are the ones not with the rest of the group. Whups.

>>36361596
Actually this means she can lead us to them. They're fine.

>>36361319
Don't let it get to you, try to get it done on your own time.

>Go big or go home, hit the last door first.


“You ever hear the saying go big or go home?” You ask Anna, already walking for the last door, “Because I’m feeling that right about now.”

Anna chuckles, “Sure, I’m still going to check them on the way out though, it’ll drive me insane otherwise.”

“Sure,” you nod as you push open the double doors into a wide room that’s clearly an Armory, two demons stand in the center, one a large burly looking man with more beard than face and glowing red hair and black eyes; no mouth to speak of. The second demon is in black plated armor and is getting his sword worked on, he’s got a shield on his left arm.

Anna instantly reaches for her greatsword, while moving into the room and into the open space on the right side of the pair.

It’s with a flash of momement that the black swordsman pulls his sword from the smith and spins bringing the sword down onto Anna who manages to knock it away with ease while setting up for a strike under his arm. The armor does a decent effort of stopping her attack as he steps back bring his shield to bear.

The smith is a bit slower moving and by the time you’re deciding what to cast he’s realized the sword he was working on is no longer there. His beard starts smoking as his eyes turn white and focus on you.

As you get more and more used to using magic, it dawns on you that you don’t really have to pull a mirror from your book for this; with a snap of your fingers and a flare of magic you split into eight copies of yourself, each no longer required to do precisely the same thing, or even be evenly spaced out.

You can’t help but laugh as the Smith picks up and throws his anvil at you, something that you just side step out of the way, or at least you thought you had when it explodes making your ears ring and taking out two of your images in this enclosed space.

“Fuck me!” Anna shouts her ears flat to her head, disrupting her swing just enough for the black knight to get his shield up in time, using both of his arms to block the strike.

Another look at the Smith shows he’s already holding another Anvil and slowly trying to throw it, it seems even with how built he is those things are heavy as fuck.

>Attack

You glance at the shards left behind from your mirror images shattering, then back at the smith who’s already thrown the anvil; with a start you dive out of the way, one of you anyways, and snap your fingers with yet another you. A third you punches for emphasis and the shards fly from the ground aiming for his eyes.

The smith manages to bring an arm up in time to protect his right eye, the same cannot be said for the left so much. The fragments of mirror shred the eye as the explosive anvill hits the ground taking out you’re diving image in a moment.

”Yo, let me out so I can talk shit, come on I know you’re busy right now so I’ll do it for you,” Shadow Alex asks, as a sharp ring and a clatter from behind makes one of your images look.

Anna’s managed to shatter the sword arm and you see fragments of its frozen parts on the ground, the sword still intact sliding across the stone floor. Her ice blue eyes are glowing.

The smith seems to have given up on the Anvil as he charges the remaining five of you with a hammer, his beard literally fire as is his hammer.

>You can have this.

You see the Smith all fired up and ready to go, when you remember the water bolt stored away. Its with a grin that you pull the two mirrors the attack is stored between, and shatter the side facing him.

The waterbolt hits true and extinguishes his beard and hammer alike covering his face with shards from the broken mirror. His momentum carries him forward and you step out of his way. Its with a loud crash that he slams into the wall and slumps there before shrinking down into a glowing red core.

You brush your hands off thematically as you look over to Anna who’s gotten her sword stuck in the demons shield and can’t pull it out. You could help her finish it, but at this point it seems to be pretty harmless without it’s sword.

Shadow Alex is laughing at the whole ordeal, ”I can’t believe we put his beard out to kill him… thats, and then Anna over there, leg up on the shield that she froze having problems pulling out her own sword.”

The first half of the question is pretty broad and so I'll answer with a simple, 'Its fueled by magic, the scale of the wish determines the scale of cores required.'

This truck has to be the weirdest thing to come out of this quest so far for me.

>Yo’ you need help?
>Eat the core.

You hum happily as you pick up the core, glad Shadow Alex is having a grand ol’ time, and swallow the core find that it tastes like smoked bacon. It makes your mouth water and even want for seconds but sadly there is none to be had.

You glance over at Anna and see that she’s still struggling, “Yo’ you need help there?”

Her eyes snap to you, “What do you take me for..?”

“Someone who can’t pull their sword out of a shield,” you shrug, “You didn’t answer the question though.”

Anna grunts before giving up on her sword and forming a large icicle from above and crashes it down. It stabs down into its shield arm shoulder though the demon still doesn’t die off only falling over with its now horribly unbalanced self.

You smirk as Anna stands on the now grounded shield and yanks her sword from it, “Took you long enough.”

She practically growls in response as she behinds the demon and watches it fade into just a core that glows purple.

“Look unlike you I didn’t exactly have the easy squirt water in his face and he dies demon,” Anna defends herself, “Besides I like to watch.”

“Huh, you meant that in more than one way?” you ask as you look around the room spotting plenty of tools and weapons all of them looking horribly outlandish and straight from a game. There’s a bed in the corner that has fragments from your broken images stuck in it.

As you look at the weapons, they begin to waver and with the aid of your eyes you can tell they aren’t actually real, just another portion of this nightmare.

Anna shrugs, “I meant it plenty of ways, lets finish searching these rooms then catch up with the others,” she’s got her core in her left hand, saving it.

We've eaten them all. To be fair, we're comparatively weak at the moment so we needed the boost. Also, it's been lest than an in game week since we became a magical girl.

>>36365750
Yup, no point in keeping them while we are still new. Wait until we have about 10 demons under our belt.

>>36365764
So, since we ate the smith I'm guessing SA's home addition has something to do with making modifications to existing things or fabrication?

Yes, I'm a simple man with simple hints. I'll detail it in a bit.

“Sure, you get left, I’ll take right,” you say already heading to the first door, you open it up as and hear the same behind you. It’s fairly dark inside the room but you don’t need light to see it. Thanks to your eyes you can see large containers of magic, two of which are pulling in and the middle one is pushing magic out through the ceiling.

You leave that door open, then head to other two only to see the same thing. A quick glance into the room Anna is currently exploring reveals the same exact thing.

You stand for a moment and wonder just what exactly, if anything you should do to these.

I wonder if we could slide a mirror in between the flows and have the flows continue through it, only to shatter later on our command. Or just set some mirrors here to redirect forces tossed around later or something.

>>36366655
Use "I'll be taking that" to continuously store up energy being pumped from the magical containers, to unleash later as a death ray?

I return

>>36366830
>Death ray

That imagery is amazing.

>>36366655

You could, or you could even death ray. Though death ray would require Shadow Credit use for sustaining and letting the mirrors handle that much strain.

That said it seems to be leaning towards break them/interfere.

This and then post game level up information will be my last posts.

>>36366931
I think storing up a Death Ray could be worth it, it's a pretty economical use of a SC, and it gets us a huge fuckoff laser while denying the God this source of Mana.

>>36367053
I don't, we have no idea what the purpose of those things are.

If the death ray idea is workable, it might be good use of a sc to setup. It should be a strong trump card against the apparently really powerful boss demon, and we have multipe sc available at the moment.

Plus it would really show up some of the other magical girls: they can brag about lightning/fireballs, we have our lazor.

We're going into a dangerous situation, having an ace up our sleeve will almost certainly be handy, either to take out the Boss, or to splatify a Demon who shows up at a really inconvenient time, and should impress the others. Mirrors allow for all sorts of bullshit tricks.

In the mean time though, I've questions about combat for you all.

Well, this is kind of a bosh rush situation which is just a shit idea in general.
A better idea would have been having a few threads of one demon each, then the fallen god as the boss of the arc. Give us downtime between each fight to get to know the other megucas and whatever.

There are probably going to be alot more effect per turn when we have the entire group vs boss demon(+minions?). Tuning the system for these little battles might ruin it for the big ones.

”... You know? I think we can use this. If you spend a credit here, I can fuck with your storage ability, and have it constantly store as much of this magic as it can,” she pauses, before continuing in a more excited tone, “Then when the time comes, kaboom. Well not for us, for whoever or whatever you point it at.”

You let out a chuckle before nodding, ‘Sure, lets do that. A pocket death lazor is never a bad idea.’

You pull two mirror from your book as Shadow Alex brands the back of both of them with a characterization of her, and your face, ”There, just uh… put both of them at the exit, yeah. It should work, honest.”

You pause for a moment, ‘You have got to sound more… sure when handling things like this. Its like a bomb of magic, and you just hesitantly told me to cut the red wire.’

”Yo’ trust me on this if you die, I die. I want to live just as much as you do,” Shadow Alex points out.

You shrug, ‘Thats good enough for me,’ before quickly placing the mirrors where you were told. With a few quick steps back, you’re glad to find that nothing has exploded yet, and the magic leading up to the ceiling is being trapped between your mirrors just as planned.

Anna pokes her head in the door, “You done searching yet?”

“Yeah, I’m good, just found these tanks in all the rooms,’ You exit the room and head for the stairs.

“Same, so in short a whole lot of nothing, I almost broke them but they smelled off so I didn’t,” Anna shrugs, still holding onto the core she picked up.

“It’s probably for the best, they’re filled to the brim with magic. They’d probably explode or something,” you comment as you start to climb the stairs up.

“Huh, glad I di-” Anna is interrupted by another thunderclap echoing through the castle, followed a wave of heat.

You rush up the rest of the stairs and see Mary ducking into the hallway with Jessica not far behind her.

Jessica’s ‘eyes’ lock onto you as she shouts, “Negotiations failed!”

This was quite possibly the most difficult shit for me to write in this entire quest. It just never felt right.
