You know, I'm actually feeling pretty confident about this partner. I can't see any possible negative reprocussions from this.

And we're going to save so much money in repairing the dungeon.

It looks like no one's coming today so I think I'll-

"MARY" The Demonologist runs in and shouts. "SOMEONE JUST TELEPORTED INTO THE DUNGEON!"

"PFFFT. What!? How!? I didn't even get any alerts!"

"I don't know! This has never happened before! We're all on high alert! Dungeon is locked down! We need you!"

MAQ is up:

I wonder if Mary can see through links...

Oh wow this is weird. So we have at the same time MAQ, Audit and a Audit 0.5 by Lamb.

You know that today is supposed to be April fools and not Christmas, right?

>Mary pulls up her controls and spies on the new heroes who have entered the dungeon.

"Elf Boy, Eel, and Gremlin..? These are some odd hero names." Mary muses.

"Fitting for some odd heroes. Mary, I can tell these guys have some very unusual runes on them. Runes I've never even heard of before. We could potentially do great things with them."

"Is that so? Alright, let's see what they do..."

>Mary watches the group look around the first room in the dungeon. Ms. Bloops is in the fountain and waiting. When Elf Boy approaches the fountain she pops out and waves at them.

This will determine their entire dungeon run... Please fail so I can kill you and get your runes.

>The boy pats Ms. Bloops head. She burbles happily.

Fuck.

Alright, well...
I guess we go easy on them? What should we have Ms. Bloops do, if anything?

>>1325239
Have Bloops milk the elf for his syrup, use the syrup to get a syrup rune

>>1325239
Follow the rules, as always. Curi points to the door and wishes them luck. Ashley gives them each a token for being nice. Simple as that.

>>1325239
Launch her surprise attack reserved for cheaters. Only cheaters would teleport in, and only cheaters would know not to attack on sight!

>>1325239
Give them some candy for not killing bloops!

>>1325239
Let her disappear for now.

She'll come back later in a boss fight if need be to help out somehow.

Kinda like the dog in RE4!

>>1325239
Follow the rules Mary or you are getting the Fish Facts from now on.

>>1325239
THEY CHEATED THE DUNGEON SYSTEM BY BYPASSING THE PROPER ENTRANCE PROTOCOL.

>>1325239
Mary, go visit Elf Boy yourself. You have to give the traditional evil overlord speech.

>>1325239
They are especially susceptible to lewdness. Tell everyone to engage in grappling and fondling whereever possible.

Also Gremlin has pretty strong magic, so be careful.

TALI YA FUCKUP

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW!!

Been thinking alot about this quest and where we could go from here, especially in the way of profiteering while keeping our identity as a lore freindly slime themed dungeon.
Ive seen players throw around the ideas of branching the dungeon out both upwards in the form of a tower and outwards as a small series of preface quests to gain entrance to the dungeon proper, which are awesome ideas and definately worth experimenting with but I have something that we can start rolling out once we get the entrance renovated.
I think that making a walled hub outside the dungeon, either a korok village or a slime town of somekind would be most thematically correct in this situation, being that slimecrown citadel is supposed to be the estate and fortress of the slime royalty. This would allow us to sell space for outside vendors to set inns, guild halls, more merchant space, and also incorporate quest lines that will expound on the lore to our wishes, which will all add to the experience without cluttering the inside of the Dungeon.
In addition, we aught to consider expanding Bloops Foyeur into a hall of sorts, with a few plaques describing my most radical idea, an selectable progressing instance list. We could have Slimecrown as it is now be the base and origin form of the dungeon, now that we have crammed a healthy amount of mechanics and variety into it, and make it the cornerstone of expansion versions to come, and advertise the ever loving fuck out of our expanding content roster. This way people who want to take the dungeon as it is dont get put off by a constantly changing dungeon layout but at the same time we could deliver a constant stream of unintrusive new content. This is also good because as we release new itterations adventurers will go back to re-experience the old instances and re-aquaint themselves with the lore in preparation of new releases.
I have a two ideas for our first two iterations, aside our current dungeon layout. We could have a Fallen Queen dungeon ark, maybe paying a outside contractor for a cinematic of some kind to drum up more hype, and have it revolve around an attempted escape by Jeffery, have Curi's throneroom refitted to an alternate version with the ceiling and back wall destroyed and covered in 'dead' Actor slimes, And have Curi take on a more antagonistic feral form from being attacked and corrupted by jeff. Then we can shuffle some of the rooms, replace normal mob placements with Wretched slimes (Water, Power, Gravity, etc) and have the royal siblings regrouped to the arena we had planned and have them as our boss rush with Curis throneroom sealed behind defeating them!

>>1325239
Maybe check if any of their clothing has their runes on it, and if so, have Ms. Bloops grab at it and pout with big sad slime eyes.

>>1325359
The Second Idea could revolve around the tower, and the royal Mage slime academy and their experiments to develop more powerful slimes to fight Jeffery, have the tower stocked with all of our experimental slimes and slimes which dont otherwise fit our dungeons, giving people who want a mob heavy experience an option to climb through floors of abberant, cloth, explodey, Psychic, mage, and monk slimes to reach the grand mage slime.
Then to wrap it all together and make it comfortable for players to enjoy we have the plaqes in Mrs' bloops Hall each describe the different iterations and dungeon choices, and they can choose them before begginging the dungeon proper.
This sort of middle ground allows us to expand going forward, without abandoning all the great ideas we have worked in so far, as well as offer a new route of community interaction where we can post advertisments for our new expansions, and even hold a big event for the completion of our "Beta run" of slimecrown that the adventurers have had so far! We could hold it as a big YUM sponsored event in our slime/korok village and drum up refreshment and merchandise sales (obviously no complete sets, all the best and rarest merchandise still locked behind the token store).
What do you guys think? Awesome or shit? Im hoping that this would be revolutionary if we did it in setting and would blow people away.

>>1325239
That's a girl, Mary. I know elves look pretty feminine, but I didn't expect your controls to be so racist.

Posting the list of runes and opposites I compiled at the very end of last thread.

>>1325369
Were I not on mobile right now. I would give a more detailed reubttal. But what I WILL say. Is that in theory I really do like it. However, I also think this is an incredibly huge money sink. We'd have to be extremely careful with our cash and rune expenditures to make something like this happen. This will take a lot of coordination with multiple people.

But if we pulled it off...I mean...that is pretty wicked.

>>1325393
We would be the disney world of dungeons

>>1325403
Isn't that what all dungeon masters aspire their dungeons to become?

>>1325359
>>1325369
This benevolent monsters idea is still bad. What's wrong with the good old role of being the villain? Or resentful against adventurers?

>>1325423
It's old and played out to me, if I'm being honest.

>>1325423
Boooooooooo
This is a bad

>>1325423
Well, I mean, we have been working with benevolence and its worked so far. That and, well, adventurers are raiding their castle. So the hate is there when it needs to be.

Were basically a theme park aren't we?

So all employees need to stay in char with the visitors being allowed to play in certain roles (heros, bandit, invaders etc}

>>1325462
I told you! Its the fucking disney world of dungeons!

>>1325423
With at least a faction of the monsters in the dungeon posing as benevolent, you get a lot of possible interaction with the adventurers you couldn't get otherwise.
That way we can, as an example, design fights where you have to use the abilities of allied "good" slimes to win, stuff like that.
makes for more interesting design me thinks

Hey look! It's us on the elf boy! Hi me!

>>1325462
That's been a recurring/defining concept of Slimecrown we keep coming back to. We're not a mean dungeon unless you don't 'play by the rules'. You stay in-bounds and we're a blast, and we have plenty of prizes for you. You try to pull bullshit (not just cheese things, that's different from cheating) and we stomp all over you.

>>1325476
Not to mention new sub quests. I mean, in the future when we are huge. Sub quests will really help provide variety. Not to mention offer potential new pathways of entry.

I mean thats what the Sophie sub quest is supposed to be in the future.

>>1325485
Hello us!

>>1325271
GIB UPDATE I WANNA SEE FROM DUNGEON CAM!

>>1325476
Benevolent NPCs are fine, we could have, for example, rebellious slimes or greedy slimes who want loot too, etc. That's ok.

It's the "whole place is a front to keep jeff down", or if he's the only real villain in the entire dungeon, that's bother me greatly.

They already reached the metal slime

>>1325517
He'd basically be drawing THREE quests, man. Something' gotta give. I think this thread was just to intro things. We can probably suggest things in here to avoid giving the game away to the characters in the other thread.

>Mary watches the group leave Ms. Bloops room and go into the other chamber.

>The Elf Boy looks around, clearly being the leader of the group.

"... This can't be this simple. Hold on guys, let me study this for a bit... I think."

"No need to think, Tali! Not when I can fly!" Gremlin shouts as she leaps across the pit. Flames flare from her hands and feet as she flies across it.

>When she gets near the end a panel suddenly leaps out and slaps into her, sending her flying back.

Ow... That looked painful.
Yeah, I think just about everyone's fallen for that.

>Mary watches as the Elf Boy looks at the rope carefully. He squints and stares at it.

"I have an idea guys..." He says.

>The Elf Boy opens a book and begins writing in it. He places one hand on the page and aims at the rope. A spell is cast and dries off the slime on that rope. He tells Eel to try it out.

>Eel slithers forward and leaps. She grabs the rope and swings across and lands safely.

"Ha! I knew it. It wanted us to fall into the moat." He runs and leaps across the moat as well, using the rope to cross.

>Gremlin does the same, landing safely on the other side.
>She runs up to the chest.

"Hey, guys! A chest! I call the loot!"

Oh god no.

>She flips open the chest. The mimic springs to life, grabs her, and begins eating her.

"AAAAAH HELP! THE LOOT IS EATING ME!"

>The others spring into action immediately. Elf Boy begins flinging fire spells at the mimic. The Eel wraps around the mimic and shocks him. Gremlin, in a panic, starts blasting the thing with fire.

>It is a bitter battle but eventually they win.

>The mimic drops and spews out its reward. 100 Gold.

"... Is that an alm..?" The Elf Boy asks as he picks up the gold.

>The group staggers to the next room.

>>1325558
Mary, I think you can kick your feet up and pop open a cold one this time. I don't see these guys either giving us too much trouble or fighting unfairly.

>>1325558
Oh, she almost got her head chomped off!

>>1325558
Wonder what their night vision is like. They are in for a bit of a challenge.

>>1325558
Uh Mary, these guys can't resurrect.

>>1325573
...SHIT

>>1325558

Umm... Mary. The guild of adventurers all use a single currency, right? Why do they not know about that?

>>1325566
Never let your guard down. That elf boy's got the smell of unusually crafty protagonist about him.

>>1325522
Hm, well yeah, i think i see your point, we still need to have antagonists, and we had that untill now by having the adventurers raid the monster castle. but if we make the fight against jeff the overarcing theme there would be no story motivation to fight the slimes right?

Well we dont need to make the slimes the good guys as such, they are still monsters. but if you choose a dungeon run where jeff has broken loose or something then you fight corrupted slimes at the side of the other slimes.

just because they sit on an even bigger evil doesnt make the Monsters especially nice.
But we should keep in mind, not to make them too "good". (even if they are ridiculously cute)

>>1325578
All the better! I'm not fussed if he wins, I'm saying he looks like a proper challenger that'll get by fair and square, or acceptable cleverness- IF he gets by at all.

That... Is a good question...
I'm not sure. I've never heard of an alm.

>>1325573
Hmm... My readings say they can. It does mention that they don't have insurance, though.
That's their fault.

>She watches as they stumble into the next room. The Metal Slime is there.

Oh god this is the room with the oil and the explodey slimes...

Should... Should I go a bit easy on them? I feel kinda bad. I'm not sure if they'll make it through.

>>1325582
well, corrupted slime's sound's like a great idea for a sewer/insane asylum/ prison level.

>>1325592
Misquoted, but we know what you mean. At any rate...

...

...eeeeeegghhhhhhh I guesssssss. You're the DM. We can dial it back a bit. No free rides, but a BIT.

>>1325592
no, it'll be fiiiine.

>>1325592
maby a lack of explodey slime's wouldn't be amiss. no insurance sound's like something bad could happen.

>>1325592
Let them make it to the hub room. But just barely. Make so they make it through the room by the LITERAL SKIN OF THEIR TEETH.

>>1325592
Punished Gremlin

>>1325592
Why go easy, Mary? They want the FULL dungeon experience!

>>1325592
Release the boom juice.

>>1325592
Maybe don't have the explodey wake up from light sensitivity, but I mean, if they are noisy and wake up explodey, its fair game. If the alm is equivalent to gold, the Ashley will heal em up.

Is there a way to check if they are insured. I am not seeing any note about that.

>>1325582
See, you get it.
And also, having slimes being antagonists and villainous give adventurers that heroic thrill that many seek. It offers even more potential tot he dungeon.

>>1325607
But I'm pretty sure that devilishly handsome and intelligent orb around Elf Boy's neck doesn't have skin. Or teeth.

>>1325592
Mary, ask Demonologist. I'm pretty sure she got hit upside the head by some interdimensional currency awhile ago.

>>1325592
Nope, go normal or hard. They have a protagonist with them, they'll be fine.

>>1325592

Two out of three of them are fire proof and physically resilient. If the noodle elf dies, they can resurrect him, probably.

>>1325614
She already said she can see that they're not insured.

>>1325614
>>1325620
Never mind. I can't seem to read things...no insurance is bad. But Ashley is coming up next. So we can be slightly nicer, but still keep explodey and oil.

>>1325592
SCAN DAT ELF BOY. Just to be sure. Pay attention if he goes on a sudden random tangent talking to himself and what not.

>>1325615
The last time that a adventure went into the dungeon, almost every slime went for the kill for trespassing. slime's be territorial mate. they dont like it if you go into their home.

I think that elf boy is carrying some sort of slime core with him. Probably a super rare item. You should have a slime steal it if at all possible.

Maybe we should go a bit easy on them, at least for a while. Completely butchering them in only the second or third room might lead to bad reviews purely out of spite.

>>1325592
Look for an orb, the moment you grab it off him you will win ultimate power when it is combined with the crown

>>1325729
Why go easy on them? They seem pretty capable so far.

The mimic was a fluke.

>>1325729
the trick is to let them off the hook at the last second without them thinking we let them off the hook.

Well they caught the Metal Slime. Guess they got a lot of tokens for that! Maybe they'll take some RSJ. I bet that Elf would be an amusing slime.

>>1325643
Mary, why don't we have any slimes designed to harvest elf syrup? We could bottle it and make a fortune.

>>1325782
>elf syrup
what that?

>>1325808
Elf jizz

>>1325808
It's syrup. That comes from elves. It's totally high in protein and vitamins and shit.

>>1325815
Maybe it goes well on pancakes like Royal Slime Jelly?

>>1325819
It goes well with Brawndo. Elf Syrup and Brawndo, it's what you crave!

>>1325819
>Royal Slime Jelly
truly the best. but only royals can have it with there pb and j

>>1325808
An elven delicacy, one that elves only shared with outsiders after becoming intimately familiar with them.

>>1325845
Or in the store for the low low price of 10 tokens!

Warning if consumed by non-slimes, side effects include temporarily turning into a slime. If you are a slime for longer than 4 hours, please squelch your way over to the nearest doctor. Blurbble to your doctor if RSJ is right for you.

I'll just let them go through normally... What's the worse that could happen?
They seem like a capable team I imagine. I can't see any way this could possibly go.

=BOOM=

Oh my god she just fucking exploded! Oh god she's everywhere now! Why do we have this room!? That was just a kid!

Oh god they're crying now. They're crying.
The elf is crying really badly.

I think the Gremlin is throwing up.

And now they're screaming and running through the maze.

They're...
They're somehow going backwards through the maze.
Oh god this is bad.

I think they're going to give us a bad review.

>>1326013
Block the entrance, Mary! They've gotta power through the dungeon!

>>1326013
Oh shit, not bad reviews!

Maaaaaybe a good time for helpful slimes to guide them to Ashley...or vice versa...

>>1326013
Maybe give them a free stay at the spa to wash off all the chunks of their dead friend. Relax, you know?

Damn Mary that sentence, you jinxed it!

Give them a free ressurrect in the next room.
But we need to get them there.

Can we block the Entrance?

>>1326013
>>1326022
He's right! Lock it down!
If they do make it to the Hub, you should go greet them in person, maybe let the elf hold us for a minute as an apology maybe?

>>1326035
Ah yes, wash that sushi sush-off.

>>1326013
ms bloops save us/them!!!!! they need your help! they gae you a head pat they deserve it!!!

>>1326013
guide them to the hub, have Plant Priest comfort their worries by stating that plant priest has the power to resurrect the dead. And then send them to the spa.

>>1326013
That would be true... if any of them knew how to give a review. Or made it out of the dungeon alive, or had insurance.

No witnesses, Mary. No one must know of this.

Wait why are there two threads?
Which one should I be in?
What's going on!?

>>1326013
Lock the maze down, dont let them escape.
And mary, please, they dont even have names, real names. Not even titles. Clearly they're just cannonfodder or dummies meant to test you.

why the fuck are these kids even in this dungeon? this is for actual adventurer! god dammit!!

>>1326013
funnel them to cleric plant. they need a rez, say it's for being nice to bloops.

>>1326013
Have Ms. Bloops show up to guide them to the hub. And then have Plant Priest rez the dead Eel. for a reduced fee. This is in exchange for being nice to Ms. Bloops.

>>1326013
Just guide them to our cleric and give them a free revive.

>>1326013
Lock it down, Make them power through it all! Remember they came to us!

>>1326013

Have Bloops guide them to the exit and another slime bring the gore pile to Ashley to be patched up. One free resurrection and then Ashley should give them a non-lethal option for continuing in the dungeon. These folks clearly aren't from around here.

>>1326053
Lamb is running the other one.

>>1326013

Does this mean we have a fish rune, now?

>>1326067
Yeah. There is clearly a communication breakdown here...

>>1326071
That tells me nothing!

>>1326079
just ctrl+f audit in the catalog.

>>1326079
do both but pretend like the other one doesn't exist. like every one else.

>>1326013
They didn't come in the right way, are they really adventurers?

Calm them down and ask them why there here

Give a free resurrect too since they are just brats

Something's off with these tykes.

>>1326095
i think they made a accident? students exploring a old ruin but there teleport fucked up maby?

>>1326085
I'm aware of the other quests existence, that's how I asked about it.
I have no idea who this "lamb" person is.
>>1326087
Or why their quest counts less than this one.

>>1326105
Yeah, teens do stupid stuff all the time

>>1326013
Mary, they don't have insurance and teleported into the dungeon. They might not be official adventurers.
Go check them out, see what's going on.

>>1326107
Cuz I'm a shmuck

>>1326107
Lamb is the one who draws the "please wait warmly images" for when Larro is drawing. Contributes ideas to the quests, etc.

The other quest is basically if god mode heroes got in. Purely for fun.

>>1326107
Lamb's a tripfag; his quest isn't cannon, whereas this ...might be. Anyway it is done by the same guy that runs the quest normally.

>>1326119
>>1326121
Thank you.

>>1326013

Lock the entrace and force them to meet plant cleric.

Oh and in the future only allow those who have an adventurer license.

I want to think that even if we didn't know these folks, we'd still cotton on to 'something isn't right here', wouldn't we?

>>1326131
I would hope so.

>>1326131
real adventurers don't start crying when there buddy's die they just grab there revivals.

>>1326140
I think they're still noob adventurers

>>1326146
>>1326140
Maybe they're so noob, they don't know they can revive.

if we get them to the hub, we should talk to them and see why they ended up here.

Maybe we can trade runes for free ressurections?

>>1326155
or we could just help them. kids don't deserve the kind of trauma they just got.

>>1326163
Kids shouldn't be messing with magic that puts them in danger.

>>1326163
Agreed. Maybe there is a way that we can accomodate them, but also do a normal dungeon run. Surely we can give our minions boffers or something. Think of it like a laser tag or paintball match.

>>1326165
I blame their parents.
And the rap music.
And the video games.

>>1326155
Runes? what runes? All we know is that Elf Boy wrote something in a book.

>>1326175
...Paintball's pretty legit.

>>1326175
>Boffers
I don't know, that Elf looks awfully noodley. Do we have anything gentler then boffers?

>>1326175
like a kiddie version for the kiddies, when the get to the hub and get a revive we can have the butler slime lead them to a royal for a apology for the whole dying thing. Not even monster's want dead children on their hands

Weeeel yeah, buts first hear their story, if they are all "we are badass... doing dungeons..." then we can get at least something in return before we crank up the safetywheels to max.

>>1326175

Eh we could heal them, take their runes, make them fall asleep and contact the adventureer association?

I mean this is weird why would total noobs go to a dungeon that eveeyone online says is closed?

Well we are an professional in charge of a place of "Adult" entertainment

So they do not qualify to be here and obviously snuck in but by allowing them to continue we end up taking responsibility

That a bad for someone who been trained as an auditor

Okay, yeah. This is weird. We have to check this out like... Now. Something is off here.

>Mary has Ms. Bloops go up to the adventurers and tries to calm them down. She uses soft slime noises and headpats. She then takes Elf Boy by the arm and leads him out of the dungeon, with the Gremlin following close behind.

>She leads them both to the Cleric Plant, Ashley. He spreads his arms and welcomes them to the dungeon.


"Greetings," She says, "And welcome to the Slimecrown Citadel. Here you can rest and recuperate while you prepare for the challenges ahead. In order to- ... What? Oh, uhm... Sure thing, Boss."

>She waves a hand and brings Eel back from the dead.

"Eel! You're back!" Elf Boy runs up to her and hugs her tightly.

"I was... Yeah, that was weird..." She says, "I could see all of you but I couldn't talk. There were words in the sky... Spectator Mode, they said..."

>Cleric Plant smiles.

"Welcome to Slimecrown Citadel. As you can see, so long as you are within this dungeon death is merely a slap on the wrist. I will bring anyone back for a small small fee. To make it to the final boss you must overcome trials. Can you do it?"

"... I don't know." Tali says, looking at the group. "That was really scary... We came here to do a dungeon but that was kinda like... Super scary."

Okay so... It looks like they actually want to do a dungeon?
But what do I do? I don't wanna scare what looks like a buncha high-school students.

>>1326181
How is the supply of giant novelty Q-Tips?

>>1326182
Don't yet need to go all out. But I think you have the right idea...this is why I lament the lack of more puzzles...we need more...

>>1326187
Well, we did do PR work saying that we actually are active and open...still this is way too bizzare...

>>1326195
Put them in the cafe and ask their parents/guardian contact information

Ask how did they end up here in the first place?

>>1326195
Hrm, Mary. Is the Elf wearing a blue sphere on a necklace?

Ask him if we can borrow that, then combine it with the crown. That way we can get a good idea of where they stand ability wise and we can tailor the dungeon for them.

Also, call the Elf "Knife Ears." That's his nickname.

>>1326197
What if they get hit with the part that isn't fluffy? They could break something.

>>1326203
And Make sure you get their ages and home address in case of authorities getting involved

>>1326195
Tell them about the spa, and then direct them to our slime play room, i they don't want to do dungeons.

If they want dungeons, revert back to original style play, with dance room, less aggressive Ruthball, and other such fun games. With Lily as game master.

>>1326195
dungeons are meant to be scary.
they are place where the monsters lurk and the adventure's go to die for the people.
let's not do anything besides make sure they don't die. maby get rid of the ice elementals so they can meet lily but that's it.

>>1326195

Tell them that they must first become registered adventurers and at least get the minimum insurance.

This isn't like the Moon Elf, these kids are local and if thry have cash for runes thry have cash to be legal.

>>1326203
>>1326195
This. Also offer to ring up the Adventurer's Association and get an insurance policy going.

>>1326195
Eh, the kids'll be fine. Just lower the difficulty a bit.

>>1326212
>With Lily as game master.
Lily Slime meet and greet. The elf could wash her hair and poke her in the back.

>>1326195
Mary, Audit away the Elf's blue orb! He's getting advice from it!

>>1326195
this >>1326203 and >>1326218


These fucking kids would die if they were somewhere else.

>>1326195

Non-lethal mode is available for juniors. The challenges are physically and mentally intensive, but many of the greater rewards/lethal risks will be blocked off.

>>1326195
Yeah we have to be the adult who needs to shut down the Teens hijinks before it kills everyone

And since we already let one kill them-self and traumatized the others were already in shit

>>1326195

Mary, look at the settings, look for "Tutorial mode".

>>1326195
Alright, but if they are here for the dungeon. They are aware of the consequences, right?

We are a rather notorious dungeon. All the adventurers association members know about us. You are a part of the association right?

We can try scaling it down for you, but they may not enjoy the challenge levels.

Figure out exactly what they want and can do.

Also, they did earn tokens for bloops, after all. Explain the tokens, spa and reccomend the store if they can't heal.

Also figure out the deal about if they TPK. We will need to organize something if that happens.

>>1326195
"Death and resurrection is a normal part of life here. Did you not know this? Is this your first time in a dungeon? Or is that not true in the dungeons you're used to?"

>>1326195
Let them run it, but maybe tell everyone to ease up a bit; don't need to traumatize them with more violent death.

Auditing

>>1326195
Have Ashley preview the trials to them (but not too spoilery), so they know what awaits them and dont get discouraged.

>>1326252
wew

We should ask, if they have done something like this before.
And offer them a while to cool down, spa and food

>>1326195
Like everyone's saying, dial it down, but let them go for it. These kids are in over their heads, but we're probably one of the only ones around that'll let them get their feet wet without worrying too much. Why not, if only to help cultivate the next generation?

>>1326257
I hope the stockpile of Lamb images for Audit quest requested last thread get some use. There were great ideas.

>>1326254
Maybe Girard and Giselle can gossip a bit...you know how maids and butlers live to talk...

>>1326279

Lamb is running another Audit Quest right now. I think is a joke? Happy April's Fools?

>>1326195
It's time for Amateur Hour in the Slimecrown Citadel! Swap out our usual bosses with the Slime Princesses. We'll let the kids go at each other until they're out of money from the metal slime. Give them each 2 extra lives (Eel only gets one) for free... in exchange for the alms they got from the metal slime. We wouldn't want to teach these youngsters that life holds no value, after all! Once all their lives are expended they have to leave the way they came - no loot!

...Actually, make that a *shared* life pool. 5 more lives to go between them. That way the whole party has more lives! ...To share.

>>1326296
Oh I know, but those images could have been stockpiled. Long before today.

>>1326265
Depends if there what age there are, if they can afford the insurance and if they understand the consequences

Since they may be kids who just stole there parents keys to use the car and we can get into deep shit if we dont stop them

>>1326315


Mary draws live save for the more detailed pics. And I totally derailed another quest just mentioning this one.

>>1326300
Supporting

Use the opportunity to give the nooblets (both ours and theirs) some experience

>>1325188
Aw, the Captain Slime didn't get any art for this opening image. That's a shame, guess the Captain of the Guard will be added later, maybe.

>>1326279
Oh yeah, I knew I forgot something I was supposed to do...

In my defense Larro didn't say he was running audit to me.

I mean we got corp contracts to think of here, how would it be our rep if people found out we allowed a bunch of underage kids come into the dungeon and killed them?

Since there is insurance and adventurers are organized around here instead of being adhoc

>>1326402
Wow. He even fooled you!

>>1326412

Hence why we should check to see if they have a permit. If they do not, tutorial mode it is.

>>1326431
Nah we killed one, and traumatized the others,

We need to contact there guardians and apologize of our mistake and hope they dont sue us

Yeah, let's give these guys easy mode. I'm not sure how far I wanna take protecting them. We risk ruining the immersion completely if I just have them taken in by authorities.

But, like... Do they care about it? I can't tell. They clearly want to be in a dungeon but maybe they were thinking normal dungeons were a lot easier?

=================================

"I understand completely. However, death and resurrection is a normal part of life here. Did you not know this? Is this your first time in a dungeon? Or is that not true in the dungeons you're used to?"

"We've never had a dungeon like this before, no... This is new."

>He nods.

"We do offer an easier mode. Would you like to take it?"

".... Yeah, sure. I think we need that."

Alright. So you guys came up with some good ideas. Let's consolidate them all and make a more fun dungeon for these guys.

That still kills them at the end so we can get those runes.

>>1326439
Basically full corporate damage control mode

>>1326452
Huh becoming a little unethical mary

>>1326452
So did we place the Guard Captain Slime in the dungeon yet? He needs a trial run, and some nooblets he can go easy on should work well.

>>1326452
>That still kills them at the end so we can get those runes.
Eh, we can't let them win for once?

>>1326467
This is still a business.

>>1326452
SET SWORDS TO STUN

>>1326467
Hell no, we ain't a charity.

>>1326452
"Okay, for Easy Mode you're going to need to wear this sign that lets the monsters know which fighting style to use."

Hand Elf Boy a sign that says "PUSSY" to wear around his neck.

>>1326467
Nah, we need the runes.

>>1326452
lily offer's fun word puzzles that really hurt to think about. the whole princess side quest, were each princess has something the other wants and the first item on the list is some slime jelly for lily's pbnj, so she gives a book she hasn't read in awhile so she gives to you to give to one of the other's or something. really go deep in the lore because it's easy mode (aka lore mode)

>>1326452
MAKE US WHOLE

>>1326452

Put them in a room with rotating pots for a "find the key challenge". Other than that, make the enemies more punch-and-bruise rather than stab-and-eviscerate

>>1326479

>Nah just make them wear the cat ears from the catkinis and film the whole thing.

>>1326452
If these guys are still uninsured and have issues. We should probably draft up some sort of contract so that we can send them back home after death/revive, but we are still privvy to runes/items.

I am still very concerned about them.

I also think Ruth's balls should be a little less harmful. Silly balls like String, Mud, Wood, as opposed to the usual stuff...

>>1326439
Before we do anything like that we should probably make shure they have guardians and are under age before we just insult customers.

And yeah we run a business, so it would be nice to get something in return if they want to run.

>>1326499
One occasional flaming ball, though. We DO want SOME challenge.

>>1326452
well, just means curi is still going full power, but like, ruth doesn't use any of her murder balls. let's see how well they think they can slime.

>>1326499

Yes on the contract idea, it works in case they all die.

>>1326452
If you want to do a non-lethal game-over version, at least knock them out cold and reset the room by taking them back to the hub!
Also we still gotta advertise YUM! as part of our deal. AND CAN YOU GET RID OF THAT BLASTED WATERMARK ON OUR DUNGEON CAST PICTURE?

>>1326499
>>1326510
Them going back is of no concern to us, since it'll resolve itself SOMEHOW. Probably when it's no longer April's Fools.

>>1326452
If there is any way to alter rooms, maybe take out one fight room on the fly and do the following puzzle.

>Heroes in an absolutely pitch black room, save for maybe 2-3 light slimes and an iluminated chest with a key/treasure inside
>5-6 Shadow Slimes are lurking in the darkness...waiting...
>The light slimes act as roaming lookouts, trying to spot the heroes as they make their way towards the treasure chest
>they're attracted to noise so be quiet, and make sure you don't get spotted
>If the heroes are spotted by the light slimes, the shadow slimes swarm the hero and kick them out of the room
>If other heroes are still in the room, the door is locked and will remain locked until all party members have been spotted or a hero reaches the chest.
>Once the key has been claimed, the room is illuminated and the heroes can leave the room

>>1326511
But this episode of Slime Spelunking has been brought to us by the letter Y(um)

>>1326452
It seems that they're used to adventuring, but not used to dying. They know how to get around traps and fight monsters but they freak out when they suffer severe injuries.

Try and tone down the lethality of the challenges, but don't reduce the actual challenge too much. Have grappling tentacles instead of impaling spikes, have slimes that engulf and tickle them instead of exploding or burning, that sort of thing. Basically, instead of trying to kill them, try to capture them so you can steal their stuff.

We can probably leave the "game" rooms like the baseball challenge and the dancing challenge alone. For Slime Knight, we could replace his sword with a whip so he can ensnare them from a distance.

Also, let's make the rules for resurrection a bit more lenient. Let them pay Cleric Plant in advance for their next resurrection, and bring them back again if one of them manages to return to this room, but warn them that if they're all dead at the same time then they'll lose and you'll keep their equipment. But allow each of them to pick a single piece of equipment that you'll let them keep if they die.

>>1326537
They can keep their underwear and any non magical clothes.

>>1326558
Probably a good idea.

>>1326558
No

>>1326598

So you'd have these idiot high schoolers pushed back into the world as naked as when they first entered it? Doesn't exactly bode well for PR, that.

Though the other DM's in the land may get a hoot if they catch word of it.

Do we want to keep Lily and the Knight as a combat challange, we could make a riddle out of it.

Maybe, Princes lily is Blind and they need the cure that they can only get when they solve the riddle?

>>1326659
lily is sleeping deeply and a cure is needed. it's a kiss from a certain knight that is very flustered about the whole thing. they need to talk him up for it.

>>1326659
>>1326666
>>1326452
I SUPPORT THIS IDEA.

>>1326666
that is way better but missing the whole creepy lily is blind here too angle

but it sounds like a fun idea

>>1326452
If they can get to the Café, they can do all those side quests we've been creating. Like the feud between Royal Slime Knight and Guard Captain Slime.

>>1326659

We could prolly keep it a combat challenge--just tell Lily and her protector to put the kiddie gloves on for this one.

Also to break Kayfabe for a moment these kids are the main cast from that other Larro quest, right?

>>1326668

Me too!

>>1326676

I don't know about the Simon/Rosalyn room bans. But I know that they should be rewarded for shouting their attacks.

except when we are are at the point where we want to kill them

Ahhh, alright. I ask because I've been meaning to hack through the rest of the backlog through that quest and the faces looked familiar.

Also is Larro fucking running both this and Magical Academy Quest at the same time to show both perspectives of the action?

>>1326722
yes, larro is a madman

>>1326722
yes

he is awesome like that

>>1326722
You better believe it...

Makes you wonder if we will get a chance to expand the dungeon. That is the part that always slows him down.

>>1326746

And Lamb is running a different Audit Quest right now too! Only difference seems that we didn't take the sponsorship deal.

>>1326755

We made plans for a second floor like dix or seven times by now.

>>1326766
It's the middle of the night directly after getting the sponsorship. No one expected adventurers this fast. Also I don't have an example of a run with a YUM layout, so nah.

>>1326772
Well its more to just widen out the dungeon right now. We can't second floor for a while. But maybe we can do things like add new puzzles or...shock of shocks...fix the entrance!

>>1326773

Nope, we didn't take the deal or we would have 5000 gold coins!

Besides is an interesting divergence point.

So we lower the lethality at the very least. Let them have fun and make it to the end.

>>1326465
Hey I... It's unique runes and everything. So, just, you know... It's a thing I kinda want.
They'll be okay.

"We would be more than happy to provide it." Ashley says, "Also, if you can fill out some paperwork we can label you guys as official adventurers."

"Uhm... Sure."

>They fill out the paperwork and are given status as adventurers. However, they are unable to pay for the insurance for their items at the moment. Ashley informs them that they can do so later when they've obtained some more funds.

>The group seems more... Calm.
>They go to Lily's room, completely avoiding the mimic placed there.

>Lily seems to be refusing to do this whole 'kiss the lily slime to win' thing.

>>1326787
It's kiss the princess' hand and swear loyalty to her.

>>1326787
>>1326791
No, a kiss on the mouth!

>>1326787
Lily quit your shit, it's a part of the job. We could just replace you with another major Slime character and keep you on the side lines.

>>1326787
... the knight needs to kiss the lily. not the mini-adventurers

>>1326787

Lily, c'mon, play nice--these kids are in way over their heads and just want a good time. And what do we do here at Slimecrown Citadel, if not provide a good time?

>>1326787
Well, its not like Reginald and your lips will be touching. He has a helmet...unless of course...you want to kiss him instead...

>>1326787
uhm we can turn it around and the knight is sleeping and lily has to be convinced?

prbably more of a challange that way around anyway.

>>1326793

With or without tongue?

>>1326787
No no no, it's not the adventurers that kiss the slime. Rather, it's Lily's roguishly handsome knight who must be coaxed into embracing his true feelings and kissing his one true love.

But if she's against that, we could... hmm...
Royal Twister! If we can set up a makeshift twister pad, then they've gotta complete so many rounds to succeed. But if they fail, Lily's knight splashes them with slime, and then they can choose to try again or not (the slime makes it harder).

>>1326787
no, it's not they kiss her, it's convince knight slime to kiss her. they gotta be hype men. do some "SHALALALA KISS THE GURL!"

>>1326803
>>1326793
Tongue, of course!

>>1326787
Fair enough. I can see why that would be uncomfortable for her.

Does she have an alternative to suggest? Besides just fighting them to the death, I mean. Perhaps she could send them on some sort of mini-quest to earn her favor before they can pass.

Or if we can scare up some art supplies, then;
Royal Portrait! Try to capture Lily's majesty in a drawing! Avoid offending the royal slime, and win!

because the knight is mute, the butler and maid explain this to them. they must get him to kiss the cute princess. otherwise she won't awak. she really shouldn't be practicing with that sleep spell you know!! (she's a mage right?)

To be fair, it's the knight's fault for not explaining the quest better. Reggie was suppose to ask for their aid in helping him succeed at his quest of awakening his liege. Otherwise he's just putting a problem in front of adventurers and helping they don't brute-force it, and you know how that goes.
