Currently trying to find an alternative to the gdoc, as it crashes my browser when I attempt to add chapters.

You should probably archive as soon as possible someone has been mis-archiving quest threads like crazy the past couple of days.

Let Jin search from above and dip into the canopy on occasion to see if she can spot anything unusual that might be the portal or at least some clue. Either Nin flies up to serve as beacon for Jin to orient herself, or we need to have Sheshzka howl loud from time to time.

Ask Sheszka if she can find a scent. Anything interesting we can track down and kill?

I'm tempted to use earth magic to map the place, but it's only the second level and I don't want to waste a limited resource on the pleb-tier upper levels.

We noticed when we entered the dungeon that the ground doesn't have earth spirits; no mapping possible.

Coffee when she's older.

All the more reason.

You won't let some dungeon beat you! Or any of it's denizens. Or anything, really. You like fighting, though you'd never admit it to mom. For obvious, health-related reasons.

You take a deeep breath.

It's a good way to let the tension out, your whole frame involved in the simple act of respiration.

You feel a bit cooler, and a lot less... on edge.

"Alright."
"Alright what?"
"Nothing, yes."
"Are you talking to yourself?"

"Yes. No. Nevermind, yes? Will you go up with Jin?"
"Hmmm?"

Nin drags herself up from her spot behind you, stretching lazily as your haroy friend starts to ready herself for flight.
"What do you want us to do?"
"Jin can scout, and you can stay above us, so she can find her way back."
"Oh. That would work."

You nod.

We've washed clothes on occasion. Replacement clothes are common more because of wear and tear (through fighting) than because of how easily we replace them.

Elle will never wear the same clothes twice, because it's more fun to make a new set. Fairly certain she plans to induce this behaviour in the entirety of Oakring as well (though in the citizens' case it's less for fun and more because the crazy spider lady'll get pissed off with them if they do).

I think Lyra still has a small chest for her size IIRC. also still a child who probably hasn't gone through spider puberty.

>>44778406
Just wait know Lyra's luck she'll get a Blessing from the God of the Harvest that leaves us with a bosom straight out of Monsume's Rachnea.

>>44778406

Well, we technically COULD 'use' it. We just aren't old enough to be interested yet, and any suitors would either be turned off by our age and/or be murdalized by two tons of angry spidermom warping in on top of them.

>>44778440
I dunno, Lann made a comment on how Lyra's chest has been the only thing growing all summer.

>also still a child who probably hasn't gone through spider puberty
Lyra has gone through spider puberty ages ago.

>>44778594
A propensity to lay large clutches like mother instead of 1 or 2 eggs?
about 10 seconds after writing the above, I realized that, if that is the blessing, then mother definitely completed this dungeon.

>>44778586
Last I remember, one of the Mothia retired and was replaced by his FluffySpider kid.

Any news on FluffySpider?

>>44778629

Lyra went through human puberty, in appearance at least.

Mom mentioned that spider puberty happens in spiders at around the same age as human puberty in humans.

>>44778646
>>44778594
man, spiders lay HUGE FAMILIES if mom wasn't at a fertility dungeon.

and/or our dad is a real stud.

>>44778669
>Mom mentioned
No she didn't, and Lyra went through completly normal Arachne puberty.

>>44778682
>spiders lay HUGE FAMILIES if mom wasn't at a fertility dungeon.
>and/or our dad is a real stud.
Its probably dads fault, normally Arachne only have maybe at most two kids per hatch.

>>44778649
They went off across the Sea to save Dr. Love's Butterfly from an arranged marriage, succeeded, Fluffy Spider went on to be a better mage than his Father, Nye also had like 5 fucking batches of fluffy spider kids, they also accidentally went ligit and lived happily ever after

>>44778669
You seem to have some confused notions about what puberty is and how it works.
And Lyra can't go through human puberty, because she isn't human.

>>44778712
>Not saying you have one or two because 60% die in the first week.
>We are the best big sister.

>>44778682
>>44778712
Wouldn't it have to be mom's fertility though? it doesn't matter how fertile the man is if there's only one egg available for fertilization.

>>44778751
No, REQM directly said Arachne only lay usually at most two children.

>>44778808
>>44778759
>>44778751
well, I guess our mom just really puts them out then.

this may or may not be genetic and a trait of us and all our sisters now

>>44778751
Interesting point. Its a shame we didnt get more info on other arachne. I mean, I know Lyra's family is odd..

>>44778825
I wanted to visit other arachne, but we were too awkward to actually go and say hi to our neighbors.

>>44778822
This is the most logical answer.

>>44778751
>Not saying you have one or two because 60% die in the first week.
Nah, Arachne are so extremly overpowered that most of them don't even evolve during their entire life because regular life is so trivial to them.

>>44778848
>>44778822
and now we've reached the stage of the conversation where we take bets as to who will have the biggest pile of kids, and who will have it first.

our combatative sister is my bet. Aria was her name? She seems to have something going on with the mage of her group.

>>44778845
Well, I get the impression a typical Arachne isn't especially social. Never visiting the village, naturally living really spread out.

Im wondering if we competed our sisters into being social just to keep up or if it's their nature too.

>>44776834
All Hail Spiderbutt!

>>44778919
I'm betting on that when Lyra finally settles down all of her kids will be just like her and she'll have like clutches more than six.

>>44778919
>She seems to have something going on with the mage of her group
He tried to ask her out on a date and she completly failed to get what he was saying, not sure where you "seemed to have something with him" from that.

You fulfill your role as party leader, dutifully praising your scout pair for their efforts.
"Good job, yes."

Nin is seemingly satisfied with just that, though you've an inkling that she's nowhere near done yet.
Jin, on the other hand, carefully perches herself atop your shoulders, deftly avoiding the snoozing snake.

You rest an idle hand over her foot, steadying her and avoiding the horrific sound that'd result from talons on armour.

You head off in the direction your friend indicates, a gesture of her wings sending you through the dimly lit wheat forest.
"You didn't see anything else, yes?"
"Like what?"
"Like, ah- Monsters. Or strange things."

She's silent a moment, considering her words- And her attempt to speak further is interrupted by a sound like cracking wood as a stalk of wheat starts a slow tumble to the ground, the hiss of displaced air marking its descent.

"Some of the wheat was falling," She admits.
"Oh?"
"Mhm."

A... beetle of some sort trundles over the fallen grain, huge pincers scything over each other as it attempts to menace you.

Admittedly, it is a dumb monster, but still-

You're not quite sure how intimidating a teakettle is.

"I think it is trying to scare us, yes."
"It is making a dumb noise."
"We should stop it."
"Yes!"

Jin hoots once as she takes to the air, and you lower your spear as you start to circle your newfound opponent, important tactical information already swirling through your head-
How fast is it? How dangerous? How edible?

>Does it have any other way of attacking? Couldn't you just grab those pincers?
Wrestle it into submission, then
>Can you cook bugs? Is that a thing?

Just w/r/t spiders and sex/babies, from the ask:

>>I looked around your Q&As and didn't see this asked: we know that it takes roughly a month or two for monsters to hit physical maturity, but what about mental/sexual maturity? Let's assume that human "maturity" is roughly 18 years of age.

>It varies for individuals- At the absolute most, 2 years. Many start to develop 'interests' a few months after their growth, some take to it earlier.
It takes years before they're ready to have kids, though. Young monsters are nearly infertile.

So at most two years until sexually mature and interested, but still unable to have kids for a while.

...Jesus Christ the STD rate must be huge.

Does Shez break her arm again?

>>44779379
>>44779344
>>44779324

I think we fuck up webbing somehow.

>>44779391
As usual.

>>44779391
So, business as usual? Have we ever not fucked up trying to web-trap things?

>>44779417
Practice makes perfect.

Lyra is secretly deeply embarrassed at how bad at web she is.

>>44779435
We should've spent more time with Elle.

>>44779379
It is always Sheszka somehow, weird how it comes to that given she should be the strongest after us.

>>44779457

She's the Picolo of our group.

>>44779435
This is the spider that managed to tie her hands together while making a simple sheet of cloth. You'd be embarrassed too!

>>44779457
She's also the only other one in melee combat. And she's not quite as 'built like a fortress' as we are.

>>44779494
>She's also the only other one in melee combat
Ezzy

>>44779513
ezzy is more of a moral support.

>>44779523
Jewelry.

>>44779523
She's going to wake up wearing a cheerleader outfit one day.

>>44779523
She does fight in melee though.

>>44779523
But mostly a scarf.

>>44779535
Moth fluff pom-poms?

>>44779513

Ezzy is mostly snark and sleep. Unless she starts going assassin's creed with her venom on monsters more often.

>>44779586
I think she'd try to eat our face if we did that.

It wouldn't really work well, but it would sting.

Let's finish this dungeon and get dem egg sacs

>>44779601
>Unless she starts going assassin's creed with her venom on monsters more often.
Ezzy is more Conan than Altair in her fighting sofar.

Oooh, I know why the ground has no spirits.

We're on the back of a giant turtle. The levels just keep getting more and more gigantized the further 'down' you go as you travel closer and closer to the turtle's original dimension.

>>44779601
Ezzy is a tiny snek berserker not assassin, I don't think she ever used stealth for hunting before. Its always RIP AN TEAR.

>>44776834
I had almost given up hope!

>>44779601

She's less than 12 levels from her evo, we just have to throw her at one of the giant weasels (they're too big to slip around her, she can just latch onto its neck and bite).

>>44779649
Which is why we need her to level up more, so we can send her out to get a rat's tail and then complete the class change quest.

>>44779709
I fear there isn't much more hope for Ezzy to go a stealth route. By thids point she's more likely to evolve into a winged snake than into a stealthier one.

Jin swoops with a casual ease, lighting up with magic with every pass, talons dancing over the creature's armour.
She leaves glowing trails where she strikes, and you're certain that it isn't just the beast hissing now.

You charge in with a similar lack of concern, ready to disarm the bug with alacrity.

It meets you, charge for charge. For what it's worth.

Which isn't much.

Your vastly enhanced strength makes it childs play to snatch it's pincers before they close. Chitin cracks under your hands as you grip hard and wrench them apart, tearing the monster's mandibles off entirely- It screeches again, in rage and pain, its whistling reaching a fever pitch.

You laugh wildly, rearing back to smash forward again.

-And the whistle turns into a heavy hiss, not of air but of something being forcible sprayed out.

You don't recognize the substance, and you don't get the chance to as it splatters across your arms and face.
It's irritating, certainly. An itching sort of slow burn.

Of more pressing concern is your immediate and utter lack of sight.

>?

>>44779746
>>44779709
>>44779679
if she takes part in this dungeon, she will probably evolve.

>>44779746
She's probably going to become one of those angry nightmare snakes from Sunless Sea.

>>44779779

>>44779832
Man, knife hands are really inconvenient sometimes.

>>44779779
Put on the chitin helmet, maybe that will clear out our eyes? If not, use touch to tear it apart.

>>44779779

>>44779887
we should really, like pick up some eyedrops.
And softs.
And antidotes.

>>44779857
Wait, no. Ezzy is still on our neck I think. Fire is a bad idea.

>>44779877
I wish we'd evolved some SNIKT charges by now.

>>44779779
>Ask Ezzy to give you directions, proceed to maul bug
Easy as cake.

Wait, we didn't have our free full body armor chitin up?

>>44779926
>softs
It's called a gold needle you pleblord

>>44779963
Because it comes with crown.

>>44779944
I think we might be stuck with knife hands forever.

It seems like one of those things that is a basic feature that would be evolved out of in like tier 1 or 2, if ever.

>>44779963
Stuff is getting in our eyes, so probably not.

>>44779984

>>44780014
Bombardier beetles don't spew things from their mouths.

>>44779779

>>44780031
Actually that's false. The gland openings of some African bombardier beetles can swivel through 270° and thrust between the insect's legs, discharging the fluid in a wide range of directions with considerable accuracy.

Oh god, I never even saw last thread! I was so happy to see this thread back and now I learn there was one before. Well I know what I'm doing tonight.

You lash out by reflex, your legs connecting even with your lack of sight- You can feel the thing's shell cracking beneath your blows, though it's only a momentary sensation before the force of our attack smashes it away from you.

The next few seconds are a mix of blind panic and determination, your brain flickering through every possible solution it can muster, discarding each as it goes.

You hear Jin's call again, and more hissing, and you cease guessing and take action.

Your shield fills up and over, water trickling down your arm as you raise it to your face, pouring the cool liquid across your self, ignoring the sudden protests of a certain snake. You force your eyes open even beneath that mild current, and some semblance of sight returns- Blurry masses, swathes of colours.

The irritation is noticeably lower, thank gods, but you're still unable to see.

"Ezzy!"
"Why are you ssssoaki-"
"Esmerelda! I can't see, yes!"
"Whu-"

"Where is it? Guide me, yes!"
"Ah- Left! Forwards!"

The lamia tugs your hair as in each direction as she shouts instructions, her tail taut about your throat the only sign of her own nervousness.

You close in on a large brown smear, the hissing growing once more Before you raise your fists-

>Leg stabbity!
>Punch.
>Grab and Twist!
>Other (?)

>>44780329

You know, REQM never actually said that the beetle was brown.
Who are we stabbing

>>44780666
shut up and stop mentioning these things.

Maybe that 100 means that a pissed off Lyra unlocks another hidden ability, and breaks this thing down to it's base atoms.

Then eats them.

>>44780666
Sheszka and Jin are white. Nin is potentailly brown, but I hope she's small enough that we wouldn't target her.

Nin is white and gold now.

>>44781104
Spider golem army, yes.

You rear back, aiming your legs at the hissing monster beneath you-

And it responds in kind, rearing up, trying to get a better angle to aim its spit once more.
Your legs entwine as you fight for position-

You half blind, with a miniature lamia yanking your hair back and forth as she screams desperate directions, the beetle, flailing and hissing and doing its damnedest to stay alive for however long it needs to ready another attack.

It's not to be however.

Your legs scrape against shell, and secure in your aim, you clench- Snapping the intervening limbs like twigs, smashing it back to the ground as your spike feet drive straight through it, only to fold and tear free-

Your eyesight might not be in a good place, but it doesn't take twenty-twenty vision to know that anything is several twitching pieces is extremely dead.

You hiss downwards, crushing the most head looking bit beneath your fists, petty vengeance for your irritated eyes.

Ezzy is panting hard, a hissing, huffing noise as she strives to calm herself.
She still hasn't let go of your hair.
