“Sure” says Chame, still gigging “they’d love to meet the new you.” Ugh, she’s impossible, you try Calluna instead

“Cally, Cally?” you say, she stops scratching on the wall and looks at you

“Huh?” she says

“What do you think” you ask her “should we go back?”

“Backwards, forwards, two paths to the same destination” she says “does it matter?”

Argh...these two! When you were picking groups no one else seemed to want to go with them, you’d rather have stuck with Cleya but were just too nice to say *no* when Chame asked you to join, and you couldn’t let Chame and Evrumine stick together: they’d get in too much trouble, and...

Maybe you should go back and rethink this whole group thing; you could keep exploring or you could go back and join up with the rest of the club.

And another thing, also Evrumine. Thanks to a drawnoob and Pudd for both drawings, respectively, of Evrumine, from a drawthread in 06/28.

“Well, ok” you say “we need to clear this dungeon out so we go onwards, I’ll go first, Chame you stick to the ceiling, Calluna can you watch out behind us, in case we get ambushed or something?”

You advance slowly down the corridor, filling most of it as Chame sticks to the ceiling ahead of you, and Calluna stays at your back, the axe in your hand feels tiny.

You round the corner at the end, only to see it open into a wider, taller corridor, ah good, room to move.

This corridor is shorter, maybe only 30ft or so long. Halfway down it, on the right-hand side is another closed door. Ahead the corridor ends in a T-junction.

“Chame” you whisper, and motion at the door. Chame crawls down the wall and extends an eye into the lock, ew...

As Calluna keeps up the rear guard, Chame reports her findings “Two big armoured guys with axes” she says “and like, a treasure chest or something.”

What do you do?

“Ok, here’s the plan” you whisper to Chame and Calluna “Chame sticks on the ceiling, Calluna, you and me are gonna go each side of the door, Chame shoots at them, and when they come at us, we fight them one at a time, ok?”

Both of the girls nod and get into position, and you open the door.

Inside the room you see these two *huge* guys like over six feet tall and covered head to toe in black plate armour and carrying a huge axe each. They turn towards the door as it opens.

The plan works, sort of, Chames crossbow bolt flies past them and clatters off the wall, and then they charge at you; you and Calluna hang back to let one come out so you can surround him.

The first armoured guy comes running out and you and Calluna hit him from each side. Your axeblow staggers him but Callunas sword just bounces off that black metal armour.

Then things start to go wrong.

Instead of standing there and blocking the door he runs at Calluna. Calluna just stands there, sticking to the plan you guess.

“Calluna run!” you try to say as he slams into her and knocks her spinning into the wall, then he continues past her, and turns around.

[Calluna HP 4/6]

Calluna falls screaming to the ground, a mixture of anger and pain, and then her tentacles all emerge and grab the walls and the floor, pulling her upright. Her eyes seem to glow as she raises her shortsword and growls, turning to face the armoured guy, turning her back to you.

The second armour guy steps out of the door and faces you. He chants something weird and then glowing runes appear on his axe, that’s not fair! You don’t have a magic axe, why does he get a magic axe?

And since when do these guys get to use smart tactics? Your plan was perfect!

>>41006330
>Instead of standing there and blocking the door he runs at Calluna
Well, the idea was that they go in front of the door once he comes out so he can't leave the doorway without going past them.
I thought that was obvious, but I guess I need to phrase it more explicit like the other anon had.

>>41006330
Anlanesa
>Cone of Cold, if Calluna isn't in range

Calluna
>Activate Warform

Chame
>Stick to Callunas opponents shoulders, and transform into something blocking his arms.

>>41006330
>he runs at Calluna
How did he do that when Calluna had to stand in front of the door to hit him? A shortsword isn't exactly a range weapon. Did he shove her away?

>>41006330
>>41006398
Second.

Calluna
>Melee attack

Chame
>Make sure to be on Anlanesas side

>>41006398
>>41006413
Anlanesa and Calluna where both standing in the doorway, but leaving enough room so both could attack him.

He used his size to shove past Calluna and head into the corridor.

>Cone of Cold, if Calluna isn't in range

She is; currently you're arranged in a line

Anlanesa -> Armoured Guy -> Calluna -> Armoured Guy

With Chame up above

So
Anlanesa attacks
Calluna uses Dimension Door to get behind Anlanesa
Chame also gets behind Anlanesa, but keeps shooting

I think I got that right

Please roll 3d20 for the girls in that order.

>>41006814
Is it because of the colors? Some of them are pretty bad, yeah. You can change it to something less terrible if you want to.

>>41006814
Well, the pdf was actually intended for a easy overview for combat and such, and since I find the excel to be just as hard to read for quick information, I'm going to keep it up-to-date for now.

The excel is better for comprehensive information about the club though, so its a nice effort.
Only 'slightly' bothered that it includes lots of info we weren't supposed to have yet.

“Both of you get behind me!” you yell as you try to swat away the armoured figures axe strikes with your own weapon.

For Chame its easy, she simply runs upside down along the ceiling. How she’s able to do that without getting a headache you’ll never know.

Calluna has to find some way past the big armoured guy between you and her though. She tries dodging around him but he moves to block her, moving pretty fast for a guy in heavy armour.

So Calluna backs up instead and then things start to feel really weird, and a shape of darkness appears next to Calluna and she dives through, and disappears.

[AE 4/9]

“Where’d she go?” you yell over your shoulder to Chame, as you’re now facing two armoured guys with axes, and you’re taking hits.

[Anlanesa HP 32/35]

“I’m here!” says Calluna from behind you. You can still see that weird blob of darkness though.

With both girls safe behind your much larger form, you are free to go on the offence. You swing your axe at one of the armoured warriors, knocking him back and making a mess of his armour.

Chame fires her crossbow and hits him in the gaping rent in his armour. He grunts and his arm hangs limp at his side, you’re winning this, if slowly.

Behind you Chame asks Calluna “wait so this doorway is gone, but that one over there isn’t, what happens if something went through that one?”

She must be talking about that blob of darkness behind these two warriors.

“I dunno” says Calluna “To get behind Nesa I opened a portal and went through another place to get here.”

“What place?” Chame asks, you hear her winding her crossbow string back as she talks. You focus on deflecting attacks from two foes. You only manage to parry a few of their attacks, but your icy armour soaks up most of the damage.

“There was a forest” says Calluna “and it was raining.”

That gives you an idea, maybe you could push these guys through the doorway/portal/whatever and Calluna then closes it. Maybe that’ll work, as long as you don’t go through with them.

Should I delete the sheets of the girls we don't have yet?

>>41007178
I personally don't care that much, and apparently is okay with it. So I don't think there is a problem.
And at this point everyone has seen them already, so its not going to change anything anymore.

“Calluna, tangle them up” you say “Chame, get ready to save us if this goes wrong.”

You make a few wild swings with your axe to distract your foes as Calluna creeps forwards and wraps tentacles around their ankles.

Then you charge forwards, shoving your foes back towards the black mess. They’re pretty strong, but thanks to Callunas efforts they trip and stumble, and can’t get their balance properly. You shove one, then the other, through the portal and it disappears. They’re gone.

“Really?” Chame asks Calluna “a forest?”

“Yes” says Calluna happily “it sang to me, maybe it’ll sing to them too.”

In the slightly worried pause that follows, Chame comes down off the ceiling and heads into the room, going straight for the chest, as you peer inside.

“Careful” you warn her “it could be trapped or something”

“It’s not, *mother*” says Chame, opening the chest. You can’t see what’s in there, but you can see Chames grin. Behind you, Calluna is humming some sort of tune to herself.

“Dibs!” yells Chame, pulling out handfuls of gold coins from the chest and shoving them into the many pockets and pouches that appear on her clothes.

“Chame” you say “it’s probably just fake money”

“Don’t care” she says, still stuffing her pockets.

What do you do?

>>41007240

>Nahhhh to easy. Just like (someone)
>Tell Chame to share

“Chame don’t be greedy” you chide her “share some of that out.”

“It’s mine!” she complains “I found it”

“We all earned it” you counter.

Grumbling, Chame hands you and Calluna some of the coins as well. They certainly feel like real gold coins, you split them equally, having maybe 30 gold each.

“So” you say to Chame “a mimic stealing from a treasure chest, is that-”

“A family reunion or a dowry” says Chame flatly “really Nesa I’ve heard all of these before.”

Oh damn, she probably has too, how about this one though “so if someone wants a share of your gold” you say casually “do they have to *check for booby traps*?”

Chame rolls her eyes at you, as Calluna examines her gold pieces one at a time.

“Really” says Chame “you went there?”

“What?” you ask, grinning slightly

Chame just leaves the room, shaking her head “leave the jokes to the funny ones Nesa.” She sounds a bit mad...maybe you offended her?

The three of you head to the T-Junction, and after a quick game of rock-parchment-knife and an argument, you go right.

“No Calluna, *Unfathomable Non-Merclidian Shape* doesn’t exist in rock-parchment-knife” says Chame, as you head down a short corridor, that ends in a left-turn “besides, if it beats everything then its cheating.”

“Unfathomable Non-Merclidian Shape is not cheating” sulks Calluna “you’re just mad because you can’t beat it.”

You pass a doorway, then take another left turn, then another, passing a branching hallways as Calluna and Chame argue, and then another left turn.

“Wait” you say “isn’t this where we fought the armoured warriors?”

Calluna and Chame break off their argument and look around “I think so” says Calluna.

“Yeah” says Chame “so uh, we can go in the room, or take the side corridor, say, isn’t that in the direction the others went?”

You think it is. You could clear out one more room before going to meet up with your friends, or just head straight for a meet up. It did look like a big room you all walked around though. Maybe there’s some sort of big monster in there?

Just kidding, it's okay to not like something that I like. we're all friends here!

“Lets go meet up with the others” you say to Chame and Calluna “we can tackle whatever is in that other room afterwards.”
---
The three of you head after the other team, finding them after going through a small maze of wrecked rooms. Wow, seems like they had one long ongoing battle in the direction they went. And they made a real mess on their way too.

You find them all huddled in front of a big pair of double doors, Cleya is lecturing Evrumine “no more charging in when you want to” says Cleya “you wait for the signal like everyone else, ok?”

“Sorry Cleya” says Evrumine “I don’t mean too, I just, I get all caught up in the fight.”

“Hi girls” says Chame as you approach “how goes?”

They all look over at you.

“I hate skeletons” says Phaysis in a tired voice “after today, I really hate skeletons, in fact, I hate skeletons so much, I want to be a priest, just so I can make them explode.”

“Got a bone to pick with them have you?” asks Chame, Nevyn smirks at that

“Nesa, good” says Cleya “we’re just about to go through this last door – a bunch of zombies and skeletons retreated in there and I think they have some bandaged guys and there’s a guy in a skull mask and long robes sat on a throne...”

You all join in the planning session.
---
So, it comes to this. Through your scrying orb you can see the seven girls outside the door, but can’t hear their plan – that would be unfair.

You are Sallazar, and today you’re playing the Witch King, a role you haven’t touched since you were 16 – the same age as some of the girls. You think you still remember how to do the voice, and you recall how the Witch King never really lost a fight, though sometimes he had to retreat.

You have 10 skeletons, 8 zombies and 2 mummys at your command. You are sat on a throne on a raised dais, at the end of a long, wide hall.

When the girls come through, how hard are you going to be on them?

>Let them win, but don’t be obvious about it
>Make it tough for them, but don’t crush them

You’re a teacher and this isn’t a professional competition, its training. So you’re going to teach them.

You’re going to be hard on them, and if they screw up badly, then you will beat them...but if they work together and play it smart then the Witch King; weakened from his long slumber, and only just returned to the world of the living, might retreat.

At the other end of the long hall the big doors open, and the torches along the hall all burst into flame as the girls enter cautiously.

You dip your chin and scrunch up your jaw and say in the creepy inhuman voice of the Witch King “Long has it been since the living have entered my domain, come forth warm fleshy things, for my minions are always hungry!”

“What in the hells is that?” asks Phaysis, staring at you, as you undead minions shamble towards the girls.

The girls fan out, with Nevyn, Phaysis, Evrumine and Anlanesa at the front; Cleya and Calluna at the back; Chame starts climbing the wall.

Anlanesa is still in her Ice Giant form you saw through your scrying orb earlier; Nevyn has transformed into her beast shape; Phaysis is a centaur at the moment; Cleya has eyestalks out.

There’s a goof 60ft or so between the girls and your minions, and 100ft between you and the girls.

>>41008306

Well. We didn't actually 'want' them to join us and prematurely end the run.
So, how is this going to work?

I mean, them just giving up isn't a positive side effect.

[insert Sith Quote here]

Ok, writing

>>41008371
>giving up
>not joining the winning side
We just have to start the world domination questline now.

>>41008376
So we're being a lich Palpatine right now?

>>41008423
Only we succeed without getting maimed, hopefully.

So, who do you think will defect first? I'm betting on Chame, she would do it for shits and giggle anyway.

>>41008528
Evrumine not that swift, easy to con.

>>41008466
What about married?

>>41008546
But also unlikely to be baited with more power.
I actually think she would be the last to go over, and mostly because everyone else does it.
Unless we promise her more credits or something.

>>41008306
>>41008322
So fucking close.

>>41008528
Whoever doesn't defect gets extra credits, in any case.

“But maybe” you say in that raspy inhuman voice, speaking half to yourself “maybe one or two of you might have what it takes to delve deeply into the darkness, to uncover the true secrets of the blackest magics.”

You thumb the control rod Dave gave you and the undead all fall back, protecting you. The girls advance falters as you keep talking.

“Yes, perhaps, some of you might prove useful to me, I can offer you such knowledge as you can scarce imagine: treasures beyond mortal wealth; and I can offer the greatest gift of all – immortality.”

You voice lowers, becoming more persuasive, hypnotic. As you talk you send another mental command to your troops and they fan out, keeping spread out, and the skeleton archers all maintain clear lines of fire at Cleya, and most of them can aim at Calluna too.

“Never grow old, staying forever young, forever beautiful. You would have the power to gain the respect and admiration of anyone you choose. Think of what I can offer you...”

You keep talking, and are aware of a whispered conversation between the girls as they approach.

“I say we go for it!” says Cleya

“We can’t, its evil” says Anlanesa

“It’s not real” says Calluna “I think, so it doesn’t matter.”

“What sort of power?” asks Phaysis “the power to explode undead? Because I’m ok with this.”

“No, I think its the power to control them” says Anlanesa “anyway, you can’t, because that would be *wrong*.”

“Hang on” says Evrumine “could we maybe get a quest reward to keep for real, like gold or a magic weapon? If so I wanna go evil.”

You grin under your mask, their first quest and they’re already metagaming. You feel so proud.

After several minutes of intense discussion, they call a vote. Anlanesa and Evrumine are the only good votes, and the rest of your club...votes to turn to the darkness.

“So how does this work?” asks Cleya, they are still some ways from your undead minions “do we get to pick our own rewards and stuff or is it a mystery box type deal?”

“Are we an evil party now?” asks Calluna “with like, evil power and outfits?”

You hear a voice coming from the ceiling, via a spell “Oh yes” says the voice of Dave “yes, register as a themed group in the tournament, I’ll make all of your outfits! For free!”

Wait, is he trying to...?

“What’s a themed group?” Anlanesa asks.

“Some groups register as themed ones” explains Dave “like all-fighters or all wizards, they can use certain spells and equipment outside the usual rules, but they face tough restrictions on anything outside their theme.”

“So if our theme is evil...” says Phaysis

“Then no *good* magic or priests” says Dave “or equipment.”

“Wait” says Chame “would we have to *be* evil, because as a club this sounds fun, but not for real.”

You wait impatiently, and as much as you don’t want an evil-themed club. This is the girls decision not yours.

“No, no” Dave reassures them “it would be competition only, and *truly* evil magic is still forbidden, but you’d be allowed to bring minions and undead and stuff.”

The girls all look at one another, looking thoughtful.

“Wait a sec” says Evrumine “Janrael was asking about the club the other day, and she’s an angel, is she forbidden if we go evil party?”

“Nah” says Dave dismissively “Fallen angels are a thing, I can make her a costume. And registration of a theme is for a party, not the entire club.”

You drum your fingers on the throne armrest impatiently.

You were going to talk to the girls about themes much later, this is a bit rushed. Still, they are big girls, and can make up their own minds.

What do you do?

>Delay decision (order minions to attack)
>Let the girls pick a theme now (follow-up vote to influence)
>Other (what?)

*If* you want the girls to pick a theme now then you can. These will be a post explaining the options, then a vote after discussion.

This vote right now is whether to allow the girls to pick right now. Influencing them one way or another comes later.

A party (of 4) can only have a single theme, but your club will likely be one day big enough to have several themed adventuring parties. This is not a route-lock, this is about picking a specialisation for *some* of the girls – if they want to.

>>41008770
>Let the girls pick a theme now (follow-up vote to influence)
People mare watching I think, so attacking when we got them convinced, would kinda break character on our part.

>>41008770
>Let the girls pick a theme now (follow-up vote to influence)
This is awesome.

>>41008787
Nobody's watching this session.

>>41008770
>Let the girls pick a theme now (follow-up vote to influence)
But if only a group of four can be evil themed, doesn't that mean we need to have only 4 actually join our side?

>>41008800
Didn't they? I wa ssure we had announced it and everything.

>>41008770
>Attack

In the dungeon Talking is NOT a free action

>>41008770
I s shapeshifting a theme?Because we have a shapeshifting team with Phaysis, Anlanesa, Nevyn and Chame.

>>41008817
Further sessions, yes, but Salazar mentioned in his head a few threads ago that he wouldn't be making this practice session publicly viewable.

>>41008817
>But if only a group of four can be evil themed, doesn't that mean we need to have only 4 actually join our side?

Yes, you'll have the option of having the *evil* party prove their loyalty to you....by turning on their allies.

>>41008827
But alredy convinced them, why would we attack?

>>41008770
>Let the girls pick a theme now (follow-up vote to influence)

>>41008770
>Delay decision (order minions to attack)
We're evil so we break truce.

>>41008841
They're close and distracted, it's the best time to ambush if we were rusing them.

>>41008835
>Yes, you'll have the option of having the *evil* party prove their loyalty to you....by turning on their allies.
That was my thought on it, okay that works pretty well.
Just the question who joins Evrumine and Anlanesa on the good side.

>>41008850
Evil is not stupid, anon.
Why would we kill them if we could make them minions?

>>41008832
>I s shapeshifting a theme?

Yes

>>41008841
They're metagaming the shit out of the situation

In a real dungeon they won't have the luxury to debate their next action or get distracted

>>41008862
>Why would we kill them if we could make them minions?
Undead being a thing aside. Attacking them when they're not ready will help them learn.

>>41008868
Because its a test-run. They got interrupted by the dungeon management, so its not even their fault they are debating it now, they already had made a decision before Dave interrupted it.

Picking a theme now, writing

>>41008916
>Attacking them when they're not ready will help them learn.
Except that it would break the character, who has no reason to attack them when they already decided to join his side, when isntead he can make them attack eachother.
Thats significantly more effective than turning them against us again, for no good reason.

>>41008949
Why do we care?

>>41008770
>Delay decision (order minions to attack)
Before a theme is decided, lets at least get enough options to fill a dart board.

>>41008969
Because right now we are playing the Witch King, and he is a manipulative evil that has recently arisen and isn't at the height of its power yet.
Therefore turning them against eachother is preferable to him.

Not to mention because its just more fun this way than just attacking them.

>>41008998
Okay, but why do we care about playing the witch king over teaching our students a valuable lesson, as their teacher?

Fun is subjective, this is just annoying to me.

>>41006085
Toorops is lewd.

>>41009014
>but why do we care about playing the witch king over teaching our students a valuable lesson, as their teacher?
Because this is a the adventurers club, and we and them are playing roles in a dungeon.
I don't even know what lesson you want to teach them here. All evil people are crazy and irrational?
Thats not a very healthy lesson, considering it makes them vulnerable to actual manipulators.

I still think the girls who resist get extra credits, though.

>>41009052
Agreed

>>41009052
Or that evil people will stab them in the back once their guard is down.

>>41009105
It'd still be better to wait for them to kill off and weaken each other as much as possible, then finish off the survivors with chain lightning.

>>41009105
But thats not really guaranteed.
Evil people are perfectly capable of realising that stabbing them in the back is not beneficial.
You have a very boring and mono-dimensional view of how to play a evil character.
Not all evil is Chaotic Evil.

You cast an illusion to make it look as though the Witch King is still there, and then step invisibly away and speak quietly into the rune on your gauntlet. Your voice issues from the ceiling...as if you were still in the control room with the Daves.

“Now girls” you say “I’m happy that you’re eager to pick a theme; I was going to explain this to you at a later date, but I guess now will do.”

“A single team of four adventurers can register as a themed group, as Dave has said, they can have up to four more substitutes – people that fill in if a main team player is unable to attend. A single adventurer can only be a member of a single team, but can be a sub on lots of other teams. If you want to register as an evil party, then I can handle the forms, and Dave has promised you free outfits.” You voice gets stern “which will be entirely age appropriate and will be designed with input from the girls and myself as club advisor. Even though he’s doing it for free Dave will not be given free reign.”

You soften your voice again “So girls, which four want to register as an evil party, and which – if any want to register as reserve members?”

The discussion starts up again.

Anlanesa and Evrumine remain opposed, but Evrumine says she might register as a reserve, just to see what its like.

Chame, Cleya and Nevyn all seem happy to register as evil.

Some are undecided: Calluna doesn’t seem to grasp the difference between good and evil, and Phaysis is having second thoughts.

You could try to influence specific girls to one option or another, or stay out of it.

>>41009127
>Not all evil is Chaotic Evil.
But some of it is and some anons want to play as such at this time.
They lost.

Vote will start in 10 minutes and last for 5.

You will be given 4 options
(E)vil – Girl joins evil party
(R)eserve – Girl joins evil reserve
(O)pt Out – Girl joins neither
(N)o Influence – You do not influence them

And each girl will be given a number, 1-7

You will be asked to list girls numbers under each option initial, like so

E
12
R
34
O
7
N
56

Majority wins, ties default to No Influence.

A fellowship check might be called for, depending upon what the choice is.

10 minutes to discuss, offer suggestions and comments.

>>41009194
Who is what number?

>>41009194
Can we influence them on doing another theme now?

>>41009218
it will be in the vote, but likely alphabetical order

>>41009239
Not in this vote, no.

But after the dungeon, yes.

>>41009239
That would be to cluttered and there is no point right now. Its about the evil theme.

>>41009194
Evrumine has the potential do do good AND evil, with being a barbarian and all. She can remain in reserve. Phaysis too, nightmares are pretty cool beasts and thematically appropriate; she can be Reserve or Evil this time, but my preference for her is Good.

>>41009279
I prefer not influencing any of them. Though Phaysis would fit well into team evil.

>>41009127
You read into posts way too much, anon.

>Inb4 everyone votes good because team evil is wrong and you are all bad people!

>>41009268
>That would be to cluttered
True, this will be cluttered enough as it is.

>>41009329
It's a theme man. Like costumes. They're not actually evil. They are literally doing it for loot.

>>41009329
I'm going to vote good for everyone to spite you now.

>>41009194
Let Calluna be evil, she is pretty weird and has so much evil looking shit going for her. She has that Secret Boss vibe.
I want Phaysis to stick together with the other shapeshifters, so at least reserve for her.
Anlanesa should at least consider and be open to experimentation and try it out one day.

>>41009359
Don't let Silver bait you into his reverse pyschology bullshit.

>>41009295
Yeah, I see it the same way. We can just let them decide it on their own. There is no one we would really have a reason to want or not want in the team for one reason or another.

>>41009366
>Let Calluna be evil, she is pretty weird and has so much evil looking shit going for her.
Thats actually exactly the reason why I wouldn't want her on team evil. She is way too good as the morally ambigious team mate on a good themed team.

As discussed, 5 minute vote

Actually, this one won >>41009535

>>41009555
Looks that way, yes.

We got a fairly solid Team Evil with the regulars that already said they want to. And if none of the other girls end up wanting to join, we can still fill that spot with another recruit.
Kittrane, maybe.

>>41009576
Janrael should totally join Team Evil.

>>41009596
I don't think she would be comfortable with that anytime soon.

>>41009596
She'd give herself an aneurysm

>>41009602
Maybe she could grow a resistance to the sensations evil gives her if she joins team evil and acts in character.
It's a bit far fetched, I know, but a possibility to consider.

You ponder carefully which girls would do well playing in an *evil* party and be able to handle it; as well as which ones would have fun doing so.

The girls continue talk, and you wait patiently, answering any questions they might have, but taking care not to influence their decision in anyway.

After a good twenty minutes of talking, the final decisions are in.

Chame, Cleya and Nevyn all go evil, and Evrumine joins as a reserve.

Phaysis bows out, but says “Now if we ever have some sort of righteous fury or inquisition team, count me in; I don’t mind going all out, but not for the wrong reasons.”

And Calluna bows out as well, seemingly uninterested in evil, but wanting to learn more teamwork, perhaps if you find another theme more suited to her.

Anlanesa, as expected, steers clear as well, sounding somewhat offended that Cleya has gone evil.

“Right” says Dave “I’ll get them outfits started for ya ladies, in the meantime....”

You rush to take your seat in place of the illusionary Witch King and say in your inhuman voice “very well, four of you” you point to Chame, Cleya, Evrumine and Nevyn “have the courage to grasp true power. Your companions are too weak-willed to take what they want.”

What’s next?
>Strike down your former allies to prove your loyalty
>Stand aside as I destroy the three weaklings!
>Hahaha! Never trust anyone! (attack all of them)
>Other (what?)

First option is the *evil* party and reserves on your side
Second is you vs the three left over
Third is basically being a dick

Team Fighter full of girls with natural magic

It's what the bad guy would do.. but.. it's breeding hostility in the club and creating faction.

It's just a game to them. At worst this will spark a rivalry.

>>41009843
>but.. it's breeding hostility in the club and creating faction
I think most of the not-Team Evil can take it with good humor, we might have to talk to Anlanesa, but I'm not very concerned.

>>41009854
Not him. But I'd get into the whole role play aspect of it and start shouting like Obi at the end of that terrible star wars movie: "YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONES! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!"

>>41009880
Yeah, we need to go full Lord of the Elemental Plane of Ham on this.

>>41009964
And backstab team evil after the good girls are gone.

>>41009977
And lose valuable assets? No way.

>>41009977
Why are you so obsessed with the randumb evil thing?

>>41009977
No. We offer them choice loot and welcome them to the evil team.

“Strike down your former allies to prove your loyalty to your dark master!” you say.

The girls all look at one another, Evrumine gives a nervous grin, and twitches; then everything happens at once.

Protected by the dungeons spell, the girls can’t really hurt one another, but they tear into each other with...rather a lot of enthusiasm.

Chame shoots a bolt an Anlanesa, it sticks in her icy body and she doesn’t seem bothered.

Nevyn leaps at Phaysis, only to take the butt end of a spear across the face.

Anlanesa charges at Cleya, only to be intercepted by Evrumine; The two start trading wild axe-swings, with Evrumine clearly at a disadvantage against the much taller girl.

Eyebeams from Cleya strike Phaysis and she falters, clearly weakened, but battles on.

Calluna...casually walks to stand underneath Chame, unnoticed by the other girl her tentacles stretch slowly upwards and then wrap tightly around Chame, much to the young mimic girls surprise, if her yell is any indication.

Fair point

As the young girls battle for your amusement, you start to rant “And so a new age of darkness dawns! Together our armies will sweep across all the lands and once again all will be united under the loving grip of imperial rule!”

“From the ashes and dissolution will arise a new order, stronger, better and purer than before! Only those blessed by darkness, granted powers beyond mortal might shall rule! The lesser races: humans, elves, dwarfs, all will bow before the Witch King!”

“Come forth my dark armies, rise to your masters call! let the dead walk once more, let the princes tremble before our power. The rise to rule will be bloody, and hard, but if you must climb a mountain of the dead to reach the summit, SO YOU SHALL!” You finish with maniacal laughter, and lots of it!

For an off-the cuff speech it’s not bad you think to yourself, then you realise no one is listening.

Nevyn is crouched over a weakly-twitching Phaysis, though it looks more like she’s concerned that her friend is ok, than actually menacing her now.

Evrumine is lying on the floor groaning softly, as Anlanesa steps over her, headed for Cleya. Cleya fires eyebeams at Anlanesa, but barely slows her down, damn that girl is tough.

Chame and Calluna...are mass of flailing limbs and chaos, neither seems to have the upper hand as yet.

You sit and watch as the melee unfolds, mentally composing two different speeches, depending upon who wins.

To pass the time you investigate the rod you’ve been given to control the fake undead, there’s two unusual buttons on it, one labelled *Copy* huh maybe to teach them new moves, and one labelled *Dance Troupe*. Given what you know about the Daves, you wonder what that will actually do.

Chame finally manages to pin Calluna, you says meekly “I give”. Bu the time she does though, Chame looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before: a mass of scales and feathers and eyestalks and long flexible limbs tipped with claws, and you can see at least three heads. She really had to push herself against Calluna.

Anlanesa is chasing after a fleeing Cleya, slowing gaining on her “Help me!” Cleya yells at Nevyn and Chame.

Finally Anlanesa catches up to Cleya and lifts her up high, just as Chame hits her from one side, and Nevyn from another.

Anlanesa doesn’t go down easily, but under an assault of sharp claws and teeth, various limbs of Chame, and eyebeams from Cleya, finally she yields.

Team Evil is victorious!

You clear your throat, ready to deliver your prepared speech, only for the Daves to speak first “Aww yeah, that’s what I’m talking about” the voice of Dave booms from the ceiling “Evil Bit- er, babes is where it’s at!”

The girls help their fallen club members to their feet, and there’s much hugging and laughing.

Cleya and Anlanesa have a slightly tense standoff, but then hug one another, whispering in each others ears something you can’t hear.

Then Dave puts his foot in his mouth “So” he says “What’s your Team Name?”

You resist the urge to hit him, the girls could argue about *that* for days.

“The Aberrants!” says Cleya

“The Hidden Mauraders!” suggests Chame

“Slaughterhouse, uh, Four!” says Evrumine after a quick count. Except, they’ll probably have more reserve members in the future, so a number might not be ideal.

Nevyn transforms back to her humanoid shape and growls out “Dark Hunters”

Even the members not on the team offer suggestions.

“The Unforgiven” suggests Phaysis

“The Unrepentant” says Anlanesa

“Send More Priests!” suggests Calluna, then noting everyone’s looks she adds “No I’m fine, its a team name.”

Again you leave an illusion of the Witch King in place as you step to one side, and your voices comes down from the ceiling “How about girls” you suggest “you wait until you hae your fourth evil teammate before picking a name?”

“That’s no fun!” complains Chame, as the rest of the *evil* girls acquiesce.

“Right, it’s late” you say “you have just enough time to clear the dungeon before bedtime-” The hells with it, you interrupt yourself by pressing both buttons on the rod.

The undead spring into synchronised dance moves, and start to shake and gyrate around the room.

After some confusion and laughter, the girls start dancing too. As they do the nearest undead start to copy their moves. From above, music blares out from the ceiling. You can just imagine the chubby Daves trying to dance up in the control room.

Pretty soon its an impromptu party. Who knew a zombie could pull moves like that?

“Chame, no, stop that” you say.

“What?” she says innocently

“That’s just wrong” you say, “really, getting a skeleton to dance like that?” Eugh you need that image out of your head.

By the time the fun has stopped its late, and you herd the girls off to bed, almost carrying a tired Cleya.

“That was fun sir” she says sleepily as you see her to her dorm room “can we do it again?”

“Another time” you promise her
---
The next morning you rise early, to see the Daves supervising the removal of the dungeon.

“Azar, mate” says Dave “you’ve still got it, the Witch King man, the Witch-KING!”

“I didn’t do anything” you say.

“You corrupted a bunch of adventurers on their first quest!” says Dave “and that speech? masterful!”

Well, at least *someone* was listening...

“It’s just nostalgia lenses” you say “I’m sure you have lots of villains on the adventuring circuit that are played better.”

The two Daves share a look “Maybe” says one “but who are we to say? Nostalgia lenses as you said my friend, why not lets the crowds decide?”

Wait, are they...

“No” you say, “I have a job, I have my own club.”

“Strictly part-time” says one Dave

“A Rare Boss” says the other

“By appointment only”

“You can bring your evil team” says the other

“We can pay you.”

“How much?” you ask suspiciously, your inner dwarf waking up as the topic shifts to gold.

“Ah, well, times are hard” says Dave “I mean, we barely break even, it’s been a hard year, Dave is ill, lots of priest bills, I mean we’re taking charity just to be able to buy food.”

Your response

>I’ll do it
>I’ll do it – and I’ll ask the *Evil Team* if they want to join
>I can’t do this
>Other (what?)

>>41011226
>I ask "Team Evil" if they want to join, if they do, we are in.

>>41011226
>I’ll do it – and I’ll ask the *Evil Team* if they want to join
Extra gold for the club? Why the fuck not?

>>41011226
>I’ll do it – and I’ll ask the *Evil Team* if they want to join
Now we just need a fourth member.

>>41011226
>I’ll do it – and I’ll ask the *Evil Team* if they want to join

>>41011226
>I’ll do it
How much are we paid anyway?

>>41011226
>I’ll do it – and I’ll ask the *Evil Team* if they want to join
More gold? Yes please. And this will also be good practice (or evil practice hue) for the girls, so it's win-win.

>>41011226
>I’ll do it – and I’ll ask the *Evil Team* if they want to join

Chame is my waifu. Stupid school regulations.

After a half-hour of intense negotiation you finally have your fee

“A hundred and fifty a week is robbery!” yelps Dave

“Take it or leave it” you say “You want me and the girls ready to attend fights upon request? That’s the fee for all of us – if they say no, *then* its seventy-five.”

You doubt the girls will turn it down, but you can’t speak for them.

“Fine” grumbles Dave “you really are an evil overlord.”

“Damn right” you say.

You spot a sheaf of papers in Daves hand that looks like it has pictures of dresses on it.

“Dave, what’s that?” you ask.

“Nothing” he says, hugging them to his chest.

After prying them off him, you see they are sketches for outfit ideas for the members of Team Evil.

“Hah, no” you say, looking at one “nope” you look at another “Ok, this one, maybe.”

“Oh c’mon!” protests Dave as you laugh at another design and reject it “It’s artistic”

“So are some nude statues” you say “no.”

You’ve narrowed it down to a few designs and give them back “These *might* be acceptable, send me the full designs when you have them, and I’ll let the girls pick the ones they want.”

“Spoilsport” grumbles Dave as you leave for morning lessons.

By midday the dungeon is gone, and you’ve said goodbye to the Daves.

What are you doing over lunch?

>Nothing special (skip to evening)
>See the Headmaster (topic?)
>Gather up Team Evil and talk about money, and outfits
>Recruit Trainer (which?)
>Recruit girl (which?)
>Other (what?)
