"Calm down Fey, we're going to find a way to fix you and put you back how you were."

"Aww really? But she's so much more fun like this! Who would want to trade being a giant fucking stallion sex god for meek little Fey the healer."

Fey turned annoyed eyes on Flora, her hands curling into fists at her side.

"That's still me you are talking about like that! Flora, goddamit why do you have to be this way all the time. If you say something mean like that again I- I won't have sex with you again!!"

Flora blinked and unfolded her arms. "Hey wait hold on, I was just kidding, you were and still are an amazing healer Fey… I don't like to admit it but Vivi might have died without you in the dungeon…. As much of a dumbass fox she is she is still one of my friends… and I regret that it was you who took the, whatever that attack was by the thing in the bottom of the dungeon, you jumped in and attempted to save my life without knowing if it was life or death. I'm… Whatever I say I am grateful for that."

Fey's hands uncurled and she sighed. She looked up at the slightly muddy pink haired gnome floating in the air.

"It's… It's fine… I chose to do it, it was my decision, so I live with the consequences."

"Not forever Fey. We'll fix this, in the meantime just relax and try to enjoy the uh, good parts, being taller for one," said Ellaria.

"So all good and cool and we can fuck and stuff in the meantime yeah?" said the gnome giving Fey a cheeky grin.

"You're as insatiable as an entire colony of rabbits Flora," said Fey,

"I choose to take that as a generous compliment."

Vivi put a paw on her hip and stretched her spine.

"We gonna make moves or are we gonna be stuck here all day?"

"Yes, we need to get to the adventurers guild and report what these muggers, these highwaymen were doing. Other adventurers need to be made aware that a group like this is around. There may be more if they are as organized as they seem."

"Eh, I was more looking forward to getting paid, but sure," said Vivi, beginning to step away.

Ellaria was about to join her when Flora pointed down at the pile of ash that was what remained of the muggers clothing and belongings. The ash rippled and then suddenly objects burst free and flew into the air, levitating up to orbit around the gnome.

"The muggers become the mugged," she said smugly as a blackened leather coin purse split apart and silver coins spilt into the air.

Fey grabbed a passing coin and examined it. ⚜️'1 silver. Her Majesty EXCALIVANIA the Dragon Queen, Dei Gratia Regina 1136 ⚜️

A regal looking dragon head wearing a crown was embossed on its surface.

"Ooh! Gimme!" said Vivi snatching coins from the air.

"Hey! You didn't even do anything! You just sat on your ass and were fake preggers!" complained Flora with a scowl.

"Usual adventurer's rules Flora. Those muggers were monsters as much as any real monster. Even split," said Ellaria.

Flora looked up at the sky and let out an agonised sigh. "Gods help me, Fiiiine. Fckinlzygddamfox."

The coins and purses orbiting her split apart and zipped up to each of the band, in Vivi's case they pinged off her belly and landed in the mud forcing the fox girl to have to lean down awkwardly to scoop them up.

Ellaria was already walking away along with the rest of the band and Vivi had to waddle fast to catch up, one paw holding up her belly as she clutched the coins to her chest.

They soon passed from the scene and a few blocks later they came to their destination, the Adventurers Guild. Despite the grand name the building wasn't much to look at, an old tavern converted for the local guild's uses, practical, but not pretty.

Ellaria pushed through the swinging door to the warm interior, the mutter of conversation and the scent of stale beer washing over them as they entered. Adventurers huddled around tables barely gave them a glance, at least until Fey entered, that attracted a few questioning eyes and shocked expressions.

Gracefully ignoring the attention the band stepped up to the counter where the AG's clerk worked, part Guild staff part barkeep she gave the band a flat look as they stepped up, her gaze drifting from Ellaria to Vivi's pregnant stomach to Fey's rock hard throbbing cock. Surprisingly it didn't even give her pause, her demeanour so jaded that a sculptor could happily carve several jade statues from it.

"We're back from the new dungeon exploration job, I would like to procure the reward."

"Hmm. Really." The clerk gave her a dry look then pulled a heavy book from beneath the bar along with a green crystal on a leather cord and a pen. She flipped open the book. Her eyes flicked back up to Ellaria.

"Band name."

"Magic Mog."

She flipped through the pages and then ran her finger down the paper.

"Band Captain, Ellaria De'loquint the Third of House Starry Oak."

"Yes, that is me."

She looked down at the book again then turned to Vivi.

"Vivi Skypiercer?"

Vivi patted her stomach and gave the clerk a vulpine smile. "Yup, that's me, pretty badass name no?"

The clerk's expression remained as stony and immovable as granite. She turned to Fey.

"Fey Swifthoof of the Moonplain tribe?"

"U-uhm, yes that's me."

The clerk turned to Flora and paused, she stared at the book for a much longer time than previously.

Vivi put her paw to her mouth and looked away from Flora. " Here it cooomes…" she whispered aloud.

The clerk's eye twitched.

"Miss Killfuck Soulshitter."

In the background an adventurer fell off his chair.

Ellaria put a hand over her eyes and sighed.

"Oh yeah, that's me!" said Flora with a shit eating grin.

"Why, why in gods name did you register yourself as that again Flora?" said Ellaria still with her hand on her face.

"Because I wanted a legendary name, duh. A name people will fear and remember!"

Ellaria let out a hissing breath from between her teeth and massaged her forehead.

"They'll definitely remember it alright."

"You're just jealous of my awesome adventurer name. Imagine being stuck with a lame posh elfy name like yours."

Ellaria glared at the gnome her lips set in a line. With difficulty, she turned her attention back to the clerk.

"The job, I want the reward."

The clerk blinked at her and seemed to collect herself, her stony expression returning.
