They left the ghost spider behind didn't they.

>>Reminisce about dinner. Poor dinner. It was a good dinner.

Think about dinner. Ponder about the mysteries of life and also why two camp guards are sleeping instead of guarding.

ALERT
SHESZKA IS 100
ALERT

>>41055766
She still has to go to sleep somewhere unobserved to evolve though, which might be a bit complicated given that she has a night shift and sleeps on our back.

In any case, are the others even on duty while we're at the city?
Worrying about why they're here right now seems a bit silly.

>>41055766
Damnit! She beat us to it!
Quick, find more gryphons!

>>41055810
She was under a sheet, and everyone was asleep. That's unobserved enough.
First time we evolved it was in the nest after all.

>>41055462
>... Why are Jin and Sheszka behind you.
Does this mean we are missing the moth?

>>41055826
I kind of assumed last night wouldn't count yet, for some reason.
It seems a bit silly that REQM would update the pastebin only for it to be outdated since before the thread started.

Been a while since I looked at the pastebin, Mom seems to be doing fine(ish).

>>41055850
No, it means Jin and Sheszka shouldn't be behind us as far as we know.

>>41055871

Y'know it's inevitable we'll run into her and be embarrassed when she breaks our ribs hugging us.

And then being mad at us that we evolved again.

>>41055917
You're right, I'm a little sad about Zach and Ephram though, I hope they'll grow up strong.

>>41055950

Why sad? They're doing what they love - huntin' shit.

>Level 100: Guarding: The most sedate levels of all.

IT'S HAPPENED!

Right now she's just a white puff ball. But when she wakes up we'll see.

Ah yes time for EX. Wonderful.

Especially cause we get to see an evo.

You pinch the bridge of your nose, repressing a sigh.
Think on better things, better things- Ah.

You focus yourself, delving into your memories. Dinner.
Ah, dinner.

Roasted and grilled meat with a few easy spices is one thing, entire animals prepared by a chef is another. And potatoes! You missed potatoes. Butter and some sort plant, and some fresh bread, oh gods, that bread. It steamed when you tore it apart. Thank every deity that you're half fire or something, because you probably would have hurt yourself shovelling burning food into your mouth.

And the beef- Mmm. Is beef a delicacy here? Or maybe just uncommon? Maybe raising cattle too near to the forest is simply undoable. There's certainly a surplus of monsters to contend with. Steaks and ribs and-

You wipe away the drool already accumulating at your chin, slurping noisily as you swallow back your self-inflicted distress.

Maybe thinking about dinner wasn't the best plan.
But it was so damn good. And there was so much. You aren't even hungry yet!

You lace your fingers together, stopping them from clenching at imaginary animals. You've still got mystery number two to deal with- The case of the Harpy and the Wolf! Two frighteningly strong monsters, creeping in at night- Who can tell what devious plans they-

>>41056455
Less narration, more reality. You push your 'tent' a little higher, turning to get a better look at them- They're both secured in their spots, twin fluff-balls gently rising and falling in time with their breaths. They should be awake, and guarding the camp. Or creeping in now, just laying down to sleep as your rise up, ready to take on the world with a new day.

Or slog along guarding a caravan and looking menacing to petty bandits and stupid animals, but that's a different matter entirely.

You're tempted to wake one up. Or both.

Maybe they're here because it's a town? Or maybe the shifts switched? Or maybe they just forgot and now you're all in trouble.
Your hand creeps slowly forwards-

>You can wake one up, right? They'll have answers.
>It is morning. Someone in camp could tell you, and you could let them sleep.
>You could always just go along with the morning routine and pretend nothing was wrong...
>Other (?)

Our puppy and owl do alot of work let's let them sleep for now.

If they've been up all night it would be a dick move waking them up now.

Sheszka bets?
I'll put my money on norse type superwolf.

>>41056743
With a beast-form:Spiderwolf?

Where the hell is that picture of a spider-wolf and it's pups when you need it?

>>41056743
Dire Wolf Beta of Frost

>>41056743

I put my money on Awoo.

>>41056743
Well she is an ice wolf. Maybe a Fenris wolf or some such?

>>41056743
Some kind of lizard wolf.

>>41056743
Which ones?

There's classic Fenrir. Everyone knows him, but that's too high tier.
Skoll, the wolf that chases the sun and will eat it on Ragnarok.
Hati, same thing but with the moon.
Geri and Freki, Odin's wolves. I think they help him find the corpses of warriors that have fallen in battle whenever the Valkyries don't do it.

Exactly like that. Just remove the face-legs and Shezka will have a faster beast-form, because as proven by the Archne, mo' leg mo' speed.

>>41056787
I FEEL THE AWOO OVERTAKING ME! IT IS A GOOD PAIN!

>>41056930
I don't know if we're actually that fast, even compared to other arachne.
Just, you know, big.

You spend a few quiet moments searching for the door to your tent, before you abruptly remember that you are wearing it as a sheet, and there is no door.

On the plus side, taking it down has never been so easy.

A few minutes work is all it takes to stow the pole and tarp, leaving you free to wander the forest of tents that have sprouted at the edge of town.
You're honestly appreciative of the fact that you apparently didn't destroy any last night. Apparently the arachne version of the food coma is nearly intoxicating. Where's some coffee when you need to wake up? You'll even settle for some pop. Or soda. Or whatever it is people want to call it. It is fizzy and it contains the greatest of chemicals.

You repress a sudden giggle and wave off a few sleepy concerned caravan-ers- Ezzy, it seems, has started to snore. Which under regular circumstances would probably be all sorts of adorable, given her size- But her snoring is apparently accompanied by her tongue, which is shooting out with every breathy whistle and tickling the side of your neck.

You pet the little snake as you walk, and she falls a little further asleep, her breathing getting easier, coils tightening. She murmurs a bit as she calms down, and you keep your hand on her as you stalk between tents.

Merchants won't have the answer-
There we are.

"Kenzington!"

The leader, and your current employer, turns and waves, the other hand concealing a wide yawn that you fight not to replicate.
"G'mornin' Lass. Whatcha staggering around for?"
"Questions, yes."

He glances to the horizon, squinting, then back to you.
"The kind that don't wait for sunrise, then?"
"What kinds of questions wait for sunrise?"
"Normal folk's questions."

You snort at the implication, tossing your head and flicking your hair from your face.
"Yes, yes. My friends were not on guard duty last night?"
He eyes you slowly, hand busy winding a rope into a heavy loop, tying it off and throwing it into the back of his wagon.

>>41057914

"That a question or a fact?"
"A question, yes."
"They were not on duty last night."
"Ah."

You let yourself recline a bit, the minute rush of worry escaping along with your very next breath.

"That is good, then. Why?"
"Y'couldn't ask 'em yourself?"
"They are sleeping."
"I could be."

You smirk, shaking your head as you speak.
"You are up even before I am, yes."
"I think that's an unfair accusation."
"I think it is a fact. And you have not answered my question."

"Well then, for your majesty's information, the town provided guards for the evening."
"I... see."

You feel the slightest tinge of apprehension.

>Alls well that ends well, right? You should probably get ready for the day.
>The guards didn't have... new swords, did they?
>You should probably check and make sure noone was eaten by wolves.

Well, that's all good and well, then.
I'd suggest we try to make a thing while working, but we just did that and it didn't go well. let's let the embarrassment meter cool down a bit.

>>41058004
By the way, Good thread last night, I unfortunately missed most of it due to a mix of driving, dinner, and blacking out, but still it was good.

>>41058082
Thank you! Hopefully you can make the next one.

In the mean time. Giant spiders are awesome.

That creeping suspicion!

>>41058153
As it turns out, everything not nailed down was stolen last night. As was everything nailed down. In fact, everything ever was stolen last night, even the clothes off the guards backs. We are now living in the overflowing loot bag of a group of thieves.

Lyra: chronic worrier.
Just like her mom.

>>41058585
Just wait till she has eggs.
And baby Lyra goes and kills monsters five times her size or more, at less than a month old.

It'll be like looking in a mirror.

>>41058621
Then we write about it all to our mom so she can worry about her grandchild as well. But she has to wait months to hear the next part when we put cliff hangers in our letters.

>>41058621
How about doing it at only a few weeks old? Then she'll be even worse.
>"Lara, dear, what is that?"
>"Is bear yes!"

>>41058680
>>41058684
The joke is this has been happening for hundreds of generations

>>41058696
One could call it a web of correspondence.

Having said that, surprised we have not been visited by grandma or some of our uncles/aunts.

>>41058729
Grandma is dead. That's why mom returned to the forest to hatch eggs.

>>41058696
>>41058729

This quest is actually a series of letters written to Lyra's grandmother (or aunt) from Nalia. The reason it's second person is because it's almost like reading all about her own memories!

>>41058729
I have bad news about our grandma.

>>41058746
Grandma's last thought: "Well, at least I don't have to keep wondering what crazy thing my daughter will do next."

>>41058696
That's the real reason behind the Spider Queen and the Monster Civ.

>Queen-to-be lays her first clutch of eggs.
>Baby Spiders causing her to pull hair out with stress inside a week.
>'If only we weren't so isolated. I could get help with the Spider Babies.'
>The Humans and Elves have Nurses and Nannies and Babysitters.
>But Spiders need to live spread out or we'll over hunt and starve.
>If only there was some sort of infrastructure to support larger numbers of us.......

Built an entire civilization just to get a babysitter.

>>41058874
I am now considering it semi-canon that large clutches of eggs combined with high probability of adventerousness make spider children horrible to take care of.

You raise a questioning finger, words freezing on your tongue as you consider the possibilities.

"Er."
"Yeah?"
"Did they- Did they have new swords?"

He looks up from his work, to your face, bushy eyebrows meeting at the centre of his forehead.
"D'ya know something I don't, kid?"
"Maybe we should make sure that noone has been eaten by wolves. Or dropped a sword on their foot. Or fallen into a ditch and cannot get out."
"Those're kinda specific."
"Your guards are a specific sort of people, yes."

He grimaces, one large hand rising to scratch audibly at his head.
"Yeah, I assumed it was too good to be true, but..."
"A night off seemed safe, yes?"
"The town hasn't seen trouble in years. Just one of those safe places."
"Except for the gryphon."
"You ate the gryphon."
"It fought back!"

You argue back and forth as you head for the edge of camp.

And what you find is... not quite as bad as you'd thought, but not particularly good, either.

One of them is asleep. Just unconscious, snoring and drooling, perched over his sword, the unsheathed blade plunged into the dirt to hold him upright.

Two of them are in various states of being up a tree. Or one is up a tree and the other is trying to get him down. Or both are up and tree and-
Yes, they've fallen. The swords were sheathed though, so, small blessing and all that.

You don't know where the rest are.
Hopefully, at other stations, guarding. Potentially sleeping.

Kenzington rubs his face with one hand, a noise not unlike a bear who has discovered it has been snuck up on by a giant spider.
"I am sorry, yes."
"You're sorry?"
"This is probably my fault. Somehow."
"How d'you figure that?"
"I made the swords."

>>41059226

He glances back to the struggling pair trying to find their feet, the one youth slowly tilting forwards on his sword.

"Well, they look decent."
"Thank you."
"And the tents seem to be intact."
"Yes."

"..."

"Well, I've got a lot t'take care of."
"Shouldn't we stop them from... falling on their swords? Or out of trees."
"Nah."
"It seems like the sort of situation where we should get involved, yes."
"It ain't right to interfere with the natural order of things like that. Some people are just destined to get eaten by something small and fluffy, y'know?"

You shrug.

"Ah, you'll figure it out eventually."

He kicks the sword out from beneath the sleeping youth, sending the blade spinning away before the boy slips off the hilt and onto the edges. The 'guard' in question tumbles to the ground with a cry, flopping about before he manages to rally and start to get up again.

"Anyhow, you can have first shift this morning, so grab your breakfast and all that."
"Mhm."

Sheathe your sword before sleeping on it.

We just saved a life, so move on with an extra jump in your step.

>>41059244
>Get ready. The day is ahead!

Ignore the Guards, if you do not acknowledge them then they don't exist.

>>41059244
>Impart sage words of wisdom to these troubled souls.

Try a different line of work, yes?

>>41059244
>>Impart sage words of wisdom to these troubled souls.
The swords say "stick pointy end in foes". The earth is not your foe. It is a giant spider you live on.

Suck less, do better, try not to fall asleep while leaning on your own sword next time!

>>41059244
>Impart sage words of wisdom to these troubled souls.

"Perhaps you should find a different job, yes. One where you are less likely to kill yourselves by sleeping on unsheathed swords?"
>a noise not unlike a bear who has discovered it has been snuck up on by a giant spider.
I laughed harder at this line that the whole rest of the post.

Does Kenzington know how young Lyra is?

Because I get the feeling his opinion of his own species just dropped, and knowing Lyra's age and competence for being so ridiculously fucking young in comparison, even for a Monsterbutt, would just make it drop further.

>>41059460
I don't think many people know or will know as we get further from out hometown.
I mean, we look pretty good in a corset, apparently, so that says a lot.

Current mission IS visiting our uncles/grandparents on the elf side. We can go showboating over the forest later. Maybe finally see what the fuck lurks there in the night and if it's tasty.

>>41059851

God shit took a while before flight was invented. Can we invent flight? And engines, I guess?

Harpy-propelled hot air balloon is probably the highest tech level we can manage.

>>41059460
>>41059487
Kenzington knows, IIRC. But yeah, most people don't and we can surprise them with revelations.

Your eyes follow the caravan master as he heads back into camp, but you spare a glance for the slightly-
Alright, maybe a bit more than that-
Overweight boy struggling back to his feet.

You glance to the fallen sword, and with a sigh, advance to his side.

Your hand on his shoulder draws his attention- his eyes swinging first around to your body, then slowly up to your face.
Where they start to widen, and he stops breathing.

"Hello, yes."
He squeaks.
"Yes, I am a spider."

He attempts nodding, but hasn't actually managed to close his mouth yet.

"In any case, I feel like it would be my fault if you lopped of your own hand a week into owning a sword, so I felt like I should offer some advice?"
You point back to the fallen blade, but his eyes don't leave yours.
"Don't sleep on a sword without sheathing it. In fact, don't carry it around naked."
He squeaks again.

"And while we're at it, try to do the old man's lessons. Without complaining, yes? And always remember- The sharp bits should hit the enemy, not you."

And with that veritable nugget of wisdom, you clatter your way back into camp.

The whole thing is coming alive with the rising sun, men and women eager to be on the road before it's high in the sky.
You've got to walk, so it doesn't make much in the way of a difference to you.

Adventurers are checking gear, nursing hangovers, slowly slurping breakfast. You wave and get nods in return, their hands otherwise occupied with their duties.

>Food. Before it is gone. For your friends, yes.
>A once over of your gear before you set out is in order.

Misarchiver is fucking with peoples shit dude. May want to archive early.

>>41060884

Which quests are getting fucked with exactly?

>>41060919
So far it was some shit one from Chuckles and Eail. But Lizard has been targeted before.

>>41060944
Lizard wasn't targeted, someone misarchived another quest as lizard quest. In what was a great disappointment for everyone who trawls the archives.

Just ignore the misarchivist.
Except for reflexively upvoting anything that was misarchived.

>>41060958
Negative, Lizard Quest 33 was misarchived. It's just not obvious anymore because Lamb talked to LordLicorice to get it fixed

>>41060884
This misarchiver is targeting fresh weeb quests, likely as a reaction to the recent flood of shitty quests that last all of two or three threads. He's not touched any long-running quests I'm aware of.

>>41061107
He targets any "weeb" quests, even long running ones or ones only tangentially related to anime.

>>41061179

Ironically, he didn't seem to target HQR.

You make your way towards the smell of food and fire, a wonderful combination that even manages to eke a growl from your stuffed stomach.

You won't be putting anything in it, though.
Eating too much is a mistake.

But your friends-
Well, they didn't join you for dinner last night, so chances are good they ate at camp. Which means they'll be hungry.
Camp meals might be free, but they're a little small for a growing monster.

And so, much to the chef's chagrin, you show up at the breakfast line, a small mountain of monsters behind you, enjoying the wafting scent of leftover stew.

It still amazes you that it smells different nearly every day.
And that it tastes good, but you're sort of a barbarian when it comes to cooking.

The night guards behind you slowly rouse to the smell of simmering food, noses emerging from somewhere beneath the fluffy wave of their curled bodies.
Even Ezzy drools a little onto your collarbone, and you pull out a little bowl for the resident mini-snake.

Jin frees herself from her shell-cubby with a yawn, the light crack of her neck as she twists this way and that, stretching out her wings.
Sheszka follows her, uncurling and stepping to the ground, a breath of cool air accompanying her own wide-mouthed yawn.

No, you are fairly certain Sheszka wasn't nearly that tall when she went to sleep.

Spoons and soup bowls are dropped as your wolf stretches- She's taller than you, probably approaching seven feet. Her dignity is on;y barely concealed by the torn scraps of her old clothing, granting everyone sight of her now muscular form. Her fangs have grown larger, the tips of them peeking from beneath her lips as she glances around.

"Oh." She says.

The camp around you is silent.

>Good morning, Sheszka.
>Don't get comfortable, I'll be bigger soon.
>Have a good sleep, then?

>>41061319

My Auntie has some sort of mastif/great dane/horse thing that is fucking huge.

Seeing it curl into a little dog bed bought for a jack russel is..... weird. That much dog shouldn't be able to fit in such a small space. Dogs can curl up into surprisingly small spaces sometimes.

Why did I get the image of Vicar Amelia on Sheszka's description?

>>41061546
Fear the old blood, Lyra. By the gods, fear it.

>>41061584

B-but...Lyra IS the Old Blood!

>>41061584
The context's for that could vary so much if it were to appear in this quest.

>>41061629
When the Great Queen loses their family, they seek a surrogate to replace it.

Decades from now, Spider Presence attempts to embrace yet more monsters into her warm shell with headpats.

The first will be tiny snakes.

Delays inbound. I'll be back asap.

Back, irritated and writing.
My apologies.

>>41061836

OP will surely deliver... We kind of need an awoo~ equivalent, maybe.

>>41062261
Spiders aren't especially vocal.

Motor cycle spider uses confusion. It's super effective.

So she even sounds like an APC

>>41062261
well, we don't have one.
We'll have to settle for elf noises.

One day Lyra will be consumed with an urge to vibrate and thump the ground. She'll have no idea why and start dancing around the nearest attractive candidate.

>>41062520

Mom will somehow conveniently be there on the sidelines, digging a pit deep enough for her to jump into, but not deep enough to bury her embarassment.

>>41062504
I don't think Lyra has enough fuzz to do motorbike impressions, sadly.

"Good morning, Sheszka."

The oversized wolf looks down at you- Down!- and then at herself. And then back to you once more.

"Yes."
"Mhm. Come here, yes?"

She steps obediently forward, bowing her head as you sling one of your larger blankets over her, each ear popping free once the blanket passes, standing proud an tall amongst her mess of hair.

You fashion her something like a dress. Or a bathrobe. Or a towel, like when you've come out of the shower but forgotten the change of clothing-

In any case, it certainly isn't clothing by any means. But it is covering her up again, which is the effect you were looking for here.

You take advantage of her posture as well- half bent over towards you, you run your hands through her hair, scratching and rubbing behind her ear- And she responds as she always does, eyes sinking closed, head butting into your hand, tail flopping heavily behind her.

You can feel the sense of relief emitted by the humans all around you, audible breaths being released, people moving and chattering and eating again in the wake of your friend and sister being labelled as safe.

Your lips twist about as you look her over, the grinning, uh, wolf-esque girl looking at you enthusiastically.
You're going to have to make her clothes yourself, aren't you?

"I am bigger now, yes?"
You nod.

And then you glance back to your shell, then to Sheszka.
"How did you even fit in there?"
"I can be smaller."
"I see."

She grins again, wider, as you reach the front of the line and the chef hands her a rather sizeable bowl of stew.

"I am a Yeti."

>>41062618
shezka, just because you're big doesn't mean you're a yeti.
well, maybe it does, but still.

>>41062618

> I am a Yeti.

What the actual fuck?

>>41062618
And I will sadly draw it to a close here for the night-
Sorry for all the interruptions, I thought I was clear for the day and then I was very definitely not.

I should be able to run thursday, and possibly even a later saturday thread this week, so we'll pick up again soon.

As usual, comments, questions and all that, answered here!

>>41062652
that was probably her evo. Yeti.
>>41062654
thanks for the run, guy. Our air conditioning powers are increasing! No room will be to hot or cold!

>>41062618
>"I am a Yeti."
I... didn't realise they were related to wolves.

>>41062654
Thanks for running, boss.

>>41062673
Same way Minotaurs are related to hobgoblins I suppose.

>>41062673
she's been getting a LOT of cold element in, apparently.
Wonder what that means.
Heyyy, think this means we can make icecream? We need some waterskins, some cows, and some... honey? I guess that's the sweetener of choice at the time?

>>41062670
Oh god, more reasons for monsters to move into our skull. We will soon have all the amenities of a modern house That we can never enjoy

She's retained her shapeshifting, though her wolf form is now a great deal more... impressive.

My general line of thought was: Fur, Large, Snow/ice powers.

>>41062704
Thanks for playing!

>>41062654
Thanks for running!

We need to get those last few levels. Surely the sword forging was worth 1-2 levels. Anything we should do that might be a pre-rec for a variant?

>>41062520

Nin/Ezzy will be so confused, flattered, and strangely aroused.

>>41062822
If we eat enough exotic animals/monsters we might get some weird chef variant, or a slaaneshi variant.

>>41062812
Now i'm seeing her waiting till she's just put on her new clothes before realizing she has a new wolf form and immediately transforming into it.

>>41062822
Thanks for playing!

You did indeed get a few levels for the forging, listed under 'Bring the Fire!'

>>41062858
You've already qualified for more than a few variants, haha!

>>41062868
Luckily enough the magic involved won't obliterate her clothing.
It definitely would have solved the nudity issue fast, though.

If we turn down the first variant presented upon evo, can we cycle back around to it by turning down all the others?

>>41063097
There's enough this time that we've discussed doing a dream sequence- You'll get impressions of what they are, the name and so on, and then I'll ask for a decision.

So we basically have a direwolf companion now? I wonder if she can carry her own passengers now.

>>41063126
I just have to keep Sunny from doing anything interesting until I see exactly how you do that.

>>41063137
She could've carried people beforehand- She was pretty big in her last form as well, and capable of adjusting her wolf size a bit.

But yes, she is now a wolfbus.

>>41063168
Give your email a quick check!
Also, easier said than done.

>>41063318
Is she strong enough to carry Lyra?

>>41063335
Strong enough: Yes.
But it wouldn't be comfortable for either of them.
Lyra's something of an awkward shape to sit down.
