DAYS UNTIL WAVE 22
Tyler opened his eyes to see Sallie's green haired face next to his own. The adorable spirit was still sound asleep and he could feel her breathing on his face. She gets to have the adventure she deserved. HE heard a low squeak, and he lifted his gaze to see Sylvia wrapped in Kaori's arms and pressed into her chest. And I'm sensing a definite faction split here. Sallie prefers me of Kaori, and Sylvia kaori over me. The battle lines are drawn. Tyler smiled as he gave Sallie a hug and she sighed.
"Feeling better daddy?"
HE started a little as Sallie's brilliant blue eyes opened with a smile. He chuckled quietly.
"That's gonna take some getting used to."
She giggled as she cuddled into him.
"We got the time!"
He just hugged her tightly.
"Well, there's that."
HE rolled onto his back and pulled his HUD up, and Sallie rolled as well to looked at the news with him.
"To day in Vernillion. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Pope is dead. Rejoice for the Pope is dead. Killed by the Outcast himself with Lillica Von Vernillion holding the knife with him. As yesterday's article reported, the pope had been arrested for the crimes of rape, Yalik's Doppelgangers, and numerous atrocities. Last night, the Outcasts heard the call of battle as is the way of active adventurers, and took the job of slaying a Dragel. As 'a bit of fun' in Tyler's words. The battle did not take long, with Lily, the elven princess taking the kill. The party then looted the trove of the cave as is the way of the Outcast, for once again his own words: Dragonkin and shiny stuff go hand in hand. Yer an idiot if ya fergit that basic tenet of adventuring. What they found within that cave, we know not, but it was severe enough to warrant a meeting with Tempesta, Ignatia, AND Furiosa. As the lord of blue was seen to tear through the region to the lair the Dragel was said to reside, and a few short hours later the lords of green and red arrived as well. The nature of this meeting is unknown, but the Red Lord, Ignatia, was then seen to fly off in a haste. Then we had reports from the capital city of Term of Ignatia tearing open the prison to retrieve the pope and fly off with the man. Ishtar's calming words left no question WHO was going to be the pope's executioner.
"That bastard pissed off the wrong dragon. Make a slow one lad."
The pope did indeed die slow, as the outcast and the Princess got their due. How long that bastard screamed for we do not know, but Ishtar gave a statement.
"Do NOT make the Outcast long for your screams. He made a vow to me to torture the pope until he grew bored. So, since he can heal nearly fatal wounds now with ease. It was a long time."
Enemies of the Outcast beware, for when he gets his knife in you, it is going to hurt. A lot. So rejoice readers the pope is dead at last. Now, the Outcasts are to present their bestiary to the guild to determine rewards and promotions. Tyler has elected to present it in Raylik. So, ladies of the Fox's fair home? Prepare your bodies for the Outcast is returning. In other news, the Warrior faction under Max made a statement.
"We get brands, lost our coin and gear, and even are locked out of cities for just living as is our right. Yet that worthless retarded punching bag can kill a Pope and get off free? And the king calls himself a just man. Bullshit. Me and my Warriors will go to the wave, but we will NOT lift a finger to defend such a s how of favorites."
That's okay Max, we don't really need you to lift a finger. Tyler's got it well under control. Now, in the mining town of Valsask, the dwarven mayor as used the guild to send a message.
"I seek the Outcasts. Once the first wave ends, I humbly request ye pay a visit to me town. There's something in the mine we need yer help with."
Since Tyler reads these articles on the regular, a visit is more or less set in stone, if only for that gods awful curiosity in him. The purging of enslaved knights continues and the city is over halfway cleared. In Yalik, the pile is burning as the last banned item was found. The Outcasts are resting from a most hard days work, and reader? They've earned it."
Tyler chuckled as he gave Sallie an affectionate hug.
"So, we swing south."
She giggled.
"Just to see a mine."
"Yup."
He snuggled the girl as Kaori yawned awake with Sylvia. Tyler smiled at them.
"Sleep well, ladies?"
The blonde cradled the red haired elf into her chest.
"Sylvia's great to cuddle with."
"We're getting a picture with her, Sera, Melly, Sallie, Lily."
She smiled widely now.
"That's a lovely idea!"
Tyler was smiling, then he remembered something.
"Hey, girls, show some tail!"
They giggled as Kaori glared at him. Then the two girls stood up and glowed a moment as Kaori was still glaring at him. Then she looked at the girls and gasped.
"Sallie! Sylvia!"
The two girls had pulled out their fix Mimic ability Vulpix had given them and were now flicking their fluffy tails excitedly. Tyler smiled as Kaori looked at him.
"How?"
"Vulpix loved them too. Shoulda seen her playing with them and hey tails. So she gave them the Fox Mimic ability."
Kaori hugged Sylvia and stroked her new fur, making her giggle.
"It tickles!"
Tyler was happily holding Sallie, stroking her tail making her giggle as well. They played with the two spirits until Tyler's stomach rumbled.
"Let's get fed."
The small family got up and dressed. Though, Sallie and Sylvia still took their usual spots on his shoulders. They went into the dining hall and found Ashy looking through her show collection, Wulf sharpening a dagger next to her, Vixen and Serafina were looking at their license rings, Lucy was looking over her greatsword, Thistle was drinking some wine, Sera and Lily were practicing their sword and shield, Lillica was running a comb through her long black hair as the group walked in. Wulf looked up smiling only to go mind blown when he saw the two spirits' tails. Tyler laughed.
"They got Fox Mimic from Vulpix."
Sera squealed as the two girls hopped off his shoulders to hug her.
"You look sooooo cute!"
Tyler smiled as the party were blown away by the overwhelming cuteness.
"Camp is going to be MUCH cuter now."
They laughed as he pulled out the map. Wulf watched curiously as the leader looked to the town of Valsask.
"Something interest you there?"
"Their mayor sent a message through the guild news to swing by after the first wave. I guess they have found something in the mine they need our help with."
Wulf became interested now.
"I've been to the town. The people there are used to hard labor and hardship. So if they need help it can only be something bad."
"My thoughts exactly. The plan is to beat the wave, swing down there, clean house, and then swing north to give Sylvia's parents their heart attack."
That got a laugh and Sylvia hugged him.
"Thanks."
"Sure. They are going to LOSE it."
The ranger chuckled.
"We have a fair bit of road ahead. How are the horses?"
Tyler looked to Kaori.
"Lady of Horses?"
She smiled.
"Still weirdly good with titles. Our horses are fine. They're still in the prime of their strength."
"Alright then, she's given them the green light."
Tyler tapped Raylik.
"Yalik is clean. My vote is we spend the night and head to Raylik in the morning."
The group nodded as Sera looked at him.
"Melly's shells?"
"Me an you will visit the sea temple and see what we can get for her."
"Yay!"
The party all patted her head affectionately. Tyler smiled.
"We're getting close to the wave now. Lillica, when is the ball?"
"we'll get the Heads up at the two week mark, so, five days prior."
"Okay. Sera, Lillica and Lily just need solo raid practice. Without me present. Then they're set. That and new gear. I'm thinking of having Lily get a pair of spiked gloves."
The ferocious elven girl smiled.
"I like the thought."
"Lillica as well."
She laughed and cracked her knuckles.
"I love the idea."
"Sera? Hmm, spiked boots."
The party burst out laughing as Sera tilted her head.
"Wouldn't that hurt my horse?"
Kaori chuckled as she patted sweet girl's head.
"Which is why he's teasing you."
"Oh. Okay."
Tyler smiled.
"Rest of the day is to try and relax a bit. Sera, let's go to the temple."
She squealed as the party chuckled fondly. Tyler and Sere headed for the sea temple, the princess happily bouncing along beside him. They walked in and found Coral sitting in her submerged dais naked again. She arose smiling and donned her starfish and clam.
"Greetings, Blue Master. What can the temple of Leviathan do for you today?"
Sera was gazing at the beautiful, nearly naked mermaid with awe as Tyler smiled.
"We're heading back to Raylik in the morning, and we promised Sera's sister in the city we'd bring her some sea shells. But, well, we can do better an that."
The lady smiled.
"We most certainly can."
She looked to a conch clad member and she brought a small crown of grey coral.
"When she dons this, it'll glow with her path."
Tyler smiled as they also placed a small necklace of the same coral into his hand.
"The ring will do the same, plus, they are enchanted to not be able to be removed by any but their owner."
Tyler and Sera smiled.
"Melly is going to lose it."
"We're still getting shells too! Just cause!"
The temple laughed as a handful of large, colorful seashells were added. Tyler added them to his pouch as he looked to the Sea caller.
"How much?"
"We do not have the time for a proper lay. So, my price is you return her for a lay with ME and Lymir together."
"I'd happily do that for free. But you have a deal."
The mermaid then leaned in and whispered low, that not even Sera heard her.
"So you know? I've made a few….crystals of my own."
HE felt one get placed in his pouch that Sera missed.
"Do share that with the lady."
"Oh, I WILL."
Sera sighed.
"Damned lady killer."
They lost it at her exasperated tone and expression. Tyler and Sera bid farewell before heading back to the mansion. Sera all smiles and joy.
"Thanks for the gifts for Melly."
He patted her head.
"She's your sister."
The duo walked up the stairs to see Lymir lean in to give Malico a warm kiss, before taking the sexy cat by the hand to the mermaid's room.
"Nice to see my kittycat's getting action."
Sera giggled.
"Lymir's got a fetish for NekoPlesians."
Tyler laughed as the sounds were heard.
"Good for them."
Tyler said bye to Sera, who bounced off to go find Lily, and he went to find kaori. He found the blonde sitting in a small parlor brushing her hair with the repaired brush and kissed her.
"Did you find Melly something good?"
He sat next to her in the lounge chair, cuddling her.
"We did. A crown of coral and a ring that will glow with her path. Plus a bunch of shells."
She laughed and settled into his shoulder.
"You spoil that girl mercilessly."
"She's Sera's sister."
They laughed att he logic.
"Not all I got."
She looked at him curiously.
"well, don't leave me hanging."
He had her look down and she saw the new crystal.
"Coral wants me as the filling of a sandwich with her and Lymir. THIS is for US."
He slipped it to the now smiling blonde beauty.
"I see. Well, we have to see it now."
HE kissed her again as she hid it in her secret pouch.
"We'll get our own house, Kaori. There we can play."
She shivered as they got into their makeout session.
"I can't wait."
"I want you."
She sighed happily.
"Lymir's bed is taken."
"Damn. Well, looks like we need to find an empty."
That got a laugh.
"Let's save it for now. I'm a little tired."
He just snuggled her as Sallie and Sylvia hopped up to sit against them as well. There they relaxed together as one family for a while. Tyler even dozing off for a bit from just how peaceful it was. They sat there for an hour or so, just enjoying their company before Sallie's belly rumbled.
"There it is."
The group laughed and went to get the spirits fed. They reached the dining hall and fed on meat and ale as the party filtered through every now and then. Tyler pulled HUD up and scrolled through hie new music tab.
"Nifty, we got a playlist option."
Kaori smiled and scooted closer.
"well, let's see if you still got it."
HE made a list or two for the party for various activities, from just riding horses and traveling, to open battle and fighting. The blonde beauty rested her head on his shoulder.
"Yup. Still got it."
HE kissed her.
"Still love you."
She smiled happily as Sallie and Sylvia were on either side of them. He looked to a window and saw the sunlight dimming.
"So, we're heading back to Raylik in the morning."
Wulf nodded as he pulled the map out.
"It's a three day ride."
"Mostly uphill. Thankfully, the road should be clear since ya know, we tore the way a new asshole."
That got a laugh as he traced a finger from Yalik to Raylik.
"We'll spend the rest of the time we have in Raylik. Then, it's a week ride to Term. Plus, we'll pass through Juniper's forest and I'd like to spend a day there."
Malico smiled.
"To see juniper or lay with the spirit?"
"Both."
Lillica looked at Term.
"Where will we sleep in the city? We'll be there for a few days."
"I got a tavern that's out of the way."
Kaori smiled knowingly.
"No one would think to look there."
The Outcast smiled.
"We're set for the wave. Sera, Lily, and Lillica just need solo practice and they're golden. Though, I'd still feel better if Sera and Lily stuck together."
The elf girl smiled.
"I can do that."
Sera hugged the ferocious elven girl.
"I can too!"
Tyler looked at the darkening sky.
"Well, I got nuthin. Wanna go commandeer a bed Kaori?"
The blonde smiled widely.
"Lymir gave me one."
The two got up and left the room hand in hand as Ashy dragged Wulf to her own room. Kaori led him to her room and once inside she sighed happily as they stripped.
"No crystals or spells."
He smiled at his love as she laid back and he entered her.
"I love you."
They went at each other for a few hours before they were sated on each other and laid down. Kaori on his chest as Sallie and Sylvia clapped.
"Love you too."
The spirits climbed up and cuddled up to the lovers, Sallie with Tyler's free arm as a pillow, Sylvia with kaori's leg.
"Good night ladies. I love you."
DAYS UNTIL WAVE: 21
Tyler next opened his eyes to see Sallie's sleeping face next to his own still sound asleep. He smiled as he felt Sylvia was snuggled up between him and kaori's body. He softly stroked Sallie's green hair in her sleep, just loving that he could. I love this Greenbean. She sighed happily and opened her blue eyes.
"Morning daddy."
He hugged her as she yawned.
"Morning Greenbean."
She giggled before he looked over his shoulder to see Kaori had Sylvia snuggled into her cleavage with her arm holding her there. Sallie looked as well and giggled again.
"I see she has a favorite."
Tyler lifted the girl on his chest and hugged her.
"Like you don't?"
She sighed happily.
"Fair."
HE stroked her hair as kaori opened her green eyes.
"Morning Kaori. I love you."
"Morning mommy."
The blonde smiled as she saw she had Sylvia firmly nestled in her rack, and Tyler had Sallie on his chest. She spoke softly to not wake the still slumbering elf.
"Morning you two."
They laid like that for a few minutes more until Sylvia woke to see she had gotten cradled into Kaori's welcoming bosom as she slept. Seh rubbed her face in the soft flesh affectionately like a cat.
"Morning Sylvia."
She hugged the blonde as Tyler sat up.
"We need a bath and food."
The girls were in full agreement. Together they got dressed and went to Lymir's indoor bath and soaked together. Although they did find Malico and Lymir cleaning each other up in the bath as they walked I, Lymir giving special attention to Malico's long fuzzy tail. The two ladies smiled as Tyler and the girls joined them.
"Morning you two. Have fun?"
The mermaid sighed happily as Kaori played with the two spirits a little.
"I love a good NekoPlesian."
"Oi! Malico's the best!"
That got a happy purr at his indignant snap, and Lymir laughed as she gave the busty cat a most loving kiss.
"Oh she IS. So beautiful, such soft fur, long tail, and her breasts! Oh! I could cream just from playing with them alone! I love them."
Malico pulled the also-busty mermaid into the breasts she loved so much.
"Well, get your fill! We're leaving today!"
Lymir got right into loving the catgirl's melons, suckling, caressing, squeezing, and just moaning into them. Tyler loved the sight of the two beauties getting their boob on as he cleaned up. Tyler, Kaori and the two spirits got cleaned up and left the two ladies to get their fill of each other as they headed down for breakfast. There they found Wulf and Ashy looking at their HUDs as they waited for the rest of the party. Tyler sat across from the ranger as kaori gave the other girl a warm hug. Tyler got some food and laid the map out as Wulf closed his HUD.
"Anything good?"
The elf chuckled.
"My perception has increased past the limit for an elf. And my mental fortitude as well."
"Sleep well?"
He glared at him.
"I had nightmares from that one yesterday you bastard."
"Makes you feel better? You can train you mental fortitude off them."
Ashy burst out laughing.
"I'm showing him the legendary numbers later."
Tyler smiled.
"Yet another rite of passage. I had no idea you were such a lady of culture, Ashy."
The dirty blonde smiled.
"I look forward to showing you."
"Challenge accepted."
The rest of the party came in, including a happily flushed Malico, and Tyler outlined the day.
"We're heading out soon as we've fed, horses readied, and Spirits secured. I'd like to make some decent time today."
Lucy was looking at the map.
"Are we still bandit baiting?"
"We are. Whether we get any hits? I doubt it."
Wulf sighed.
"I agree. We took out what? Two full camps on the way in? They're more bandits then we'd like to think, but they take longer then three days to set back up."
"Wulf, if we take a job here in Yalik from the guild, can we claim the reward in Raylik upon completion?"
"We can. It's actually a common practice really. Take a job along the route you intend to take and have coin waiting for you upon arrival."
"I'd like to see about a few Oricah camps, or maybe outright bounty hunting. We'll take a look as the ladies ready the horses."
They nodded. Tyler rolled the map up.
"Alright. Break."
Tyler and Wulf headed for the guild as the ladies got their horses ready. The men walked into the hall and found it already full of rowdy adventurers. They walked over and looked at the board.
"Hey, got a troll camp maybe a few hours ride from the road."
Tyler looked at the bill as Wulf pulled it down.
"Wanted killing of a Swamp Troll camp. Okay, that is just foul. Reward, 50 silver and a White license. Nice find. Nose killing smell aside, we need more experience with different creatures."
the ranger nodded in agreement.
"Indeed we do. Only things we really have experience in are giants, orcs, and Goblins."
Tyler looked up as he spotted a bill.
"Wanted: Killing of a rogue Blood Gangar. Reward…75 silver. What the hell is a Gangar?"
Wulf chuckled.
"It's a member of the Ghoul Family. It's a type of undead that's like a Broken, only they come from an improper burial. Like say if you were to throw a corpse into a ditch, and piss on it. Or if a curse is placed upon a mortal by a deity for some slight. They're as common as say….draugr. Only without the tomb."
"We need undead practice as well. Says here it was sighted near the Yale river."
Wulf took a look.
"It might have taken the cave those Hobs camped out in front of. It's the same area."
"I think we'd need Vixen's input on this one. Much as I love fighting undead, we don't really have the time for a straight up hunt."
"Agreed. That would be wise."
Tyler blew the note their Undead expert and she came soon after. She got a round of catcalls, leers, and whistles as she came sauntering into the hall. Tyler smiled as he pointed the bill out.
"Hey there Foxy. Have a look."
She smiled as she examined the bill.
"A Blood Gangar? Interesting."
"We're wondering if it's worth taking, since we don't have the time for a full on hunt."
"we're thinking it may have settled in the cave from the hobgoblin camp."
The beautiful black mage tilted her head as she thought it over.
"I'd say….no. Gangars like to roam. If it was sighted at all, then it has since moved on. We'd have to track it from foot prints and it's aura alone in order to pick it up."
"Damn. We need more undead practice."
She smiled.
"Gangars aren't all that strong to be perfectly honest. More hard to find."
Tyler sighed.
"Nice to see you got brains and boobs, Vixen. Thanks."
she chuckled.
"The horses are ready, and all we're waiting on are you two. So, I'll stick around."
Tyler laughed as he looked back at the board.
"Gotta show me what they're missin, right?"
She leered at him.
"I'm still waiting."
"Well, We'll make camp, and you can get a ride."
She licked her lips seductively.
"Now I'm impatient."
He gave her rear a fond pat as she came to stand next to him.
"So am I."
The other men were glowering at them in open envy and jealousy.
"Bastard did that on purpose!"
"Aye mate, he knows what he doin."
"I hate that guy."
"I'm sure that's what ALL the ladies of standards say."
The jovial guild laughed as Wulf spotted another bill.
"That's a rare beast."
"Whatcya got?"
"Seems a Feral Basilisk was seen near the road by the fire we put out."
"A Feral Basilisk? That some kind of snake?"
Wulf took the bill down as he looked at it.
"No. Basilisks are a member of the Wyvern family. Only not as rare but still rare. Think a ten foot long, 7 foot tall with a three foot head alligator that lives solely on land."
"They any good?"
"Their meat is tasty when fired in oil and breaded. Think crispy and flaky. Their skins are good for leather, teeth decent arrow heads, claws good knives, and their eyes are even useful for brewing potions for eye enhancements."
"That's a thought."
Wulf chuckled.
"Oh shit here we go."
"Should we bother with potion brewing gear?"
The ranger looked to Vixen.
"That's more your area then mine."
The pale skinned beauty smiled.
"We'd need to visit an apothecary's shop for the gear we'd need. That said? It might be a good idea for the road in case we're in need of something your spells can't cure but a potion can. There's a rather good shop in Raylik."
"We'll pick up a kit then. You any good at it, Vixen?"
"Sadly, I am not. But, I think Serafina or Malico are."
"We'll ask when we hit the town. where was the thing last seen?"
Wulf took the bill.
"it say it made a den in a small hollow near the road. If it's the spot I think it is, then maybe a ten minute walk?"
"We'll take it then."
Wulf smiled as he took it.
"We'll have a lot to unload at the exchange."
Tyler laughed.
"That's the plan."
Vixen tilted her head then.
"Huh. That's something you don't see every day."
He looked as she passed him a bill.
"Wanted. Slaying of A Thrall bear. Thrall?"
"Looks like a vampire made a pet out of a brown bear."
"Just when I thought a grizzly couldn't get scarier. Reward is…..55 silver. So, just hit it's heart right?"
"Yup. The thing's pelt will be extremely soft and luxurious. As when an animal becomes a vampire, it's body gets enhanced beyond that of a regular animal."
"Says here it's near that hill camp Lillica got her grand Lich. Nifty."
He took it as Wulf spotted another.
"Wanted. Killing of a Stone ogre camp. Located near...the spot Vixen killed the Black on. Reward is…..45 silver."
"Stone ogre? That the thing from the orc hunting party back in the Dark Forest?"
"I didn't see it remember?"
Tyler chuckled.
"Ah yeah. That's right. Well, shouldn't be a problem."
Wulf took it as Vixen looked at the four bills.
"we have the time for all them?"
Tyler pulled the map out and Wulf pointed to each spot.
"The trolls are near the second hollow from the Frost giant's army, the Basilisk is a ten minute walk from here, the Thrall bear's settled into this cave, and the ogres are here. We can clear these out easily enough, and the only one that's kinda out of the way is the trolls."
Vixen nodded as she saw it.
"I see now. Kinda odd how close they are to the road though."
Tyler frowned now.
"Yeah, that IS odd."
Wulf sighed.
"Not really. The wave is in what? Two and a half weeks? Monsters go wild at this time and attacks sky rocket."
Tyler sighed.
"We're going to reach Raylik, get paid, see Melly, maybe talk to Seline about a base, and have to take off the next day."
The two sighed as well.
"Yup. It's three days to Raylik. Then a solid week to Term."
Tyler looked at the map as he traced a finger back along their route from Raylik to Term.
"Not a week, Wulf. Maybe four days. Look."
The ranger watched as he traced a finger from Raylik to the Dark Forest, and a small road was seen exiting from the Forest's western border to Term.
"Going off this, it looks like it'd take maybe four if we just ignore the bandits as we go."
Wulf looked at the road.
"I know that one. It's usually reserved for the nobility alone. But, you're right as it's the most direct route. Hell, that road is even better maintained then the King's Road."
"Okay. We'll take it. We just got three days back."
Tyler looked at their jobs.
"We'll take one more and roll out."
"I got one."
Vixen pulled a bill down.
"Wanted; killing of a Kobold Den near Raylik. Reward 25 silver. Kobolds?"
"Rat-like creatures maybe the size of sera. They like caves and hollows. A decent cave can hold maybe thirty creatures."
"Plus, the spot is the hollow we found the trove in."
"That works. Nice one Foxy. Let's move."
The trio headed out to see the rest of the party on their horses waiting. Tyler mounted Thunder.
"Pass the bills around."
Wulf handed the bills out as they rode towards the gate. Malico gave a disgusted groan when she saw the Stone ogre and Swamp troll.
"I hate these things."
"I got water spells, kittycat."
"I know. Still right nasty."
Once the party had seen the bills, Tyler stored them with the map. They passed Vollock and Wallace as they went.
"Farewell mates!"
"Make em hurt!"
Tyler smiled.
"Keep the fakes out!"
The town gave them a hero's departure as they then spurred their mounts to a light gallop, as kaori now had the road's measure. Tyler had Sallie on his horse, and Kaori had Sylvia on hers. The two girls would stay spirits until camp was pitched, and the spells up. The blonde right beside Tyler was they neared the spot he'd met Vulpix at.
"So we're clear, Vulpix shows up, I'm takin her again."
The party burst out laughing as Sallie giggled.
"Oh, she's up ahead!"
Tyler as sure enough, they came around a corner, and saw the lovely Fox Spirit in her Fennec form. The party laughed as they pulled over and Tyler hopped off to gree the spirit.
"Miss me?"
The small creature glowed before Vulpix stood there in her beauty.
"More?"
"Oh hell yeah."
She smiled.
"Follow!"
The pair headed off into the forest as Ashy looked at Wulf.
"Wanna?"
Tyler followed the bear foot lady to the spot and she removed her gown as she used her power to remove his gear. Then she smiled at him.
"Rear?"
"Of course."
She got on her hands and knees with her five tails waving seductively.
"Favorite now."
HE got behind her and gently slid into her rear button as she gripped the grass.
"Love it."
He bent over her frame as she started bucking against her as he stroked her fur.
"Love you."
she moaned and bucked back as she felt herself get filled as she herself blew.
"More please."
"Plenty."
and more he gave her, filling her rear a further four times before she sighed happily.
"Here now."
She put his hand on her ridiculously tight slit.
"Clean first?"
"Please."
HE smiled and used a water spell as he got an idea.
"Taste?"
She squeaked as she rolled onto her back to look at him.
"Taste?"
He looked at her slit and licked his lips.
"Taste it?"
Her yellow eyes went wide at this most sensual mortal.
"Gently?"
"Yes."
She blinked and opened her legs a little wider.
"Then yes?"
He smiled eagerly as he placed his mouth to her entrance, making her jump a little from the new feelings.
"Love this too."
He played with her slit, making her cream a further two more times before he placed his ready rod on her.
"Ready?"
She smiled as she panted.
"Please."
So, he filled her slit with his rod as she moaned and groaned with her favorite mortal. She orgasmed yet again as he filled her slit before going limp. She sighed happily.
"Full."
He kissed her and she tasted herself.
"Me too. Loved you."
She wrapped him in her tails.
"Love you."
They cuddled for a bit as they kissed, recovering.
"Clean up."
"Please."
They used the same hotspring and Sallie and sylvia came out to play with the busty fox lady.
"Love them?"
The girls giggled as they used their fox mimic.
"Love them!"
"Very much!"
Tyler smiled as he watched them play. The two girls were trying to grab the tip of Vulpix's tails, and she'f flick it out of reach as they giggled.
"Love you."
She smiled as he kissed her again.
"Love you."
He kissed her several more times before she sighed.
"Time up."
He kissed her hard this time, and made out with her as well.
"Be back."
She hugged her favorite Lover Mortal.
"Please hurry."
"Just for you."
She smiled and they got out of the spring. She dressed him as she put her white gown back on. He kissed her one last time before she had a fennec lead him back to his friends.
"Miss him already."
Tyler walked back whistling to fins Ashy with her own happy flush.
"Atta an Elf."
Wulf sighed.
"I hate you."
Tyler and the spirits climbed back up on Thunder before they resumed their travels. Vulpix waving as they went.
"Please back soon lover!"
Tyler and his team made great time and by the time the sun had climbed above them, they were nearing their first raid. The thrall bear.
"Serafina, you with me, Lily as well, Wulf, Ashy, annnnd,"
He looked at his party.
"Lucy."
The hunters nodded and dismounted. Then they followed Wulf as he led the way into the woods near the road.
"Serafina, thrall bears like regular bears?"
The cloaked wraith sighed.
"they are. But smarter. Not as smart as people, but more like a wolf."
"Scary image."
She smiled.
"Your undead spell, holy smite, will kill it outright."
"No heart shot?"
She shook her head as they neared it's den in the forest.
"No. It's a common practice to use such spells if you're after the pelt."
The party reached the den, a small clearing with a cave set under the roots of a large tree.
"I'll go first, Serafina my right, lily my left. Wulf go trail."
They nodded as he drew Oblivion and Oathkeeper. Then the party headed inside, Lucy standing guard outside as he hadn't considered a cave battle. Tyler and the wraith led the way into the small burrow and heard the thing breathing not too long after. Tyler smiled as they saw the thing laid in a ball of dark grey fur. He then silently swapped his blades for his bow. Nocking an arrow,
"Holy smite."
He fired as the beast lifted it's head as it detected danger too late. The shaft hit it in the red eye, and the powerful holy spell made it glow as it roared in pain before just dropping with a hefty thud. Serafina smiled, and her own fangs were seen.
"It's dead."
The party advanced cautiously until Tyler could slap the fallen teddy. No reaction.
"That was boring as hell. Lily, use prospect."
"Already on it."
"Ashy, you got your knives?"
"We're making a new bed roll from this right?"
"My plan. Meat?"
"I wouldn't recommend it. It IS a vampire."
"Teeth and claws?"
Serafina shrugged.
"Not really. Their only real worth is the pelt."
Tyler sighed.
"Better en nothing. Bear this size, I can make a decent bedding for the tent."
Ashy got to work skinning the animal as Tyler used his detection to search for hollows and chambers.
"Hey, Tyler. Got a few veins of iron and copper here."
"Copper?"
"Yeah. Banks buy it to make coins with. Pretty well to."
Tyler pulled his pickaxe.
"We'll get you a pickaxe and mine skill as well Lily."
She smiled as he extracted the ore.
"I wouldn't get to stare then."
"Eh. Fair. This the only veins?"
"Still looking."
"That's my favorite elf."
Wulf snorted as he held the leg of the bear up as Ashy worked.
"Prick."
"Don't worry Wulfy, you're MY favorite elf!"
Ashy was smiling as she used a most sweetly teasing voice to toy with the ranger. Serafina was looking at the beast's bedding as Tyler extracted the thirty foot veins of iron and copper.
"Got the ore Lily."
The elven girl smiled.
"Thanks. I found a few more iron veins, and a rather decent tin."
"You can have the tin ore, Lily. Unless I'm wrong...wait, we got copper AND tin?"
Lily looked over confused.
"Yeah, that bad?"
"We can make bronze now."
She smiled as she understood.
"Not a bad idea really. I just need a decent campfire to make some really high quality bronze. But, to be perfectly frank? The coin we'd get from selling it to a bank is worth more then anything I can make."
"You'd get to practice your craft though."
She smiled proudly now.
"I can get better practice from the iron then I can from bronze. Even IF I'd have to field smelt it first."
"Well, you're the expert."
She hugged him as he dug out the ore.
"Thanks though."
Lily moved around the twenty foot chamber using her skill as Tyler followed behind her.
"We checking the way in?"
"Might as well."
Ashy was nearly done with the bear pelt as Serafina finished her own search.
"It seems this Thrall is a stray. A prized pet like this would never be allowed to roam free."
"We need to worry about revenge?"
"Not really. If the bear strays, it's creator was killed."
Tyler dug out the last of the tin and looked his pickaxe over.
"Hey, lily, when we make camp, think you can do something with this?"
The small smith looked over as he spoke.
"Issue?"
"The tip's bent to hell, and it's nearly blunted."
"If you want me to show off so much, just say so."
HE smiled as he reached out to ruffle her hair.
"And where'd the fun be if I just did that?"
She slapped his hand away.
"hey! Stop messing up my hair! Do it the big brother shit to Sera!"
The party chuckled fondly as Tyler let her off the hook as she continued searching.
"Got a tin, wow another copper, more iron, huh. Nickel too."
She seemed thoughtful now.
"Can you do anything with nickel?"
She rubbed her chin.
"Depends on the ore to be honest. If it's good enough quality, the bank buys it for their Scales. Not sure why though. If not, we sell it to the exchange as it can be used to make armor."
"Well, let's see."
Tyler dug the grey ore out and Lily sighed.
"Yup. That's exchange quality. Too impure to really get anything useful after refining."
Tyler added the five foot hunk to the pouch as Ashy spoke up.
"Pelt's ready. I love how soft the fur is."
"Thanks Ashy."
She had the large item in a tightly bound wrap as she placed it in the crafting pouch. Lily gave the chamber the all clear and Tyler and her took different sides of the tunnel back up.
"More iron Lily."
"got more tin."
"Wow. Got a small bit of redsteel."
"Lucky."
They walked out to find Lucy sitting on a rock waiting patiently for them.
"Sorry Lucy. We caught it napping."
The 7 foot tall barbarian laughed.
"No matter, lad. Was the trip worth it?"
"The animal itself? Not really. We did get a good amount of ores from the walls though. Hell, I think the cave itself was worth more then the thing."
They returned to the others.
"Well, at least we got something of value."
"I guess. If we weren't on a time crunch I'd call that one a good run."
The blonde fighter shrugged, seeing his logic. They found the rest of the party looking to their weaponry as they returned. Kaori smiled as Tyler swung back up onto Thunder.
"Was it fun?"
"Not really. We caught the thing napping. Ashy loves the fur, but that was really the only thing of value the animal had."
The blonde beauty sighed as they headed off to the next raid.
"That sucks. So, what about the cave itself?"
"That turned out more profitable then the bear. Some iron veins, a few copper, some tin, a nickel, small bit of redsteel, and I think that was it."
Kaori was a little amazed.
"All that from one cave? Anything we're keeping?"
"The tin for lily's smithing, same with the red steel and iron. Copper the bank with buy, and the nickel the exchange."
She shook her head,
"I'd have though the bear would be worth more."
"well, it WAS a single bounty. The fur looks good, I'll show you at camp."
She smiled as they rode.
"I'll look forward to it."
They rode along until they neared Yarrow's village. As Tyler saw the smoke from the chimneys, he smiled.
"We are going to blow Clare's mind again."
The party laughed as they neared the small gate. There they got hailed.
"Hail travelers!"
Tyler looked to the town guardsman.
"Hail!"
They slowed up as the man approached them.
"Be ye Warriors?"
"Aye, Sirrah. I be Tyler the Outcast."
The man's face went white.
"The Outcast? Again? Me apologies for holding you Sirrah."
"Not at all. We're headed back to Ralik, and thought we'd reblow Clare's mind."
The man smiled fondly as he waved towards the gate.
"I see the tales about the Outcast likin the play big brother be truth."
Tyler and the party rode into the town, careful as they were mounted to not step on someone. Tyler spotted the small black haired girl feeding some chickens and giggling as they bobbed their heads.
"Hey, Clare!"
She looked up at her name, and froze as she saw the Outcasts waving at her. Tyler smiled as he saw her mind go boom! HE and Sera hopped off their horses to go give the small girl another hug as Yarrow, the blue mage from the fire, came out to check on her. The blue mage smiled as he saw Sera give Clare another doze of hug death.
"Me girl's got a helluva tale to tell now."
Tyler chuckled as he looked at the man.
"She a blue path as well?"
He nodded.
"Aye lad. And she be a right good un too."
He reached into a pouch and pulled a spare blue path dagger he had and gave it to the girl.
"Here, Clare. Everyone needs a good dagger."
She was on the verge of outright crying from joy as she held the dagger and it started glowing from her power. Yarrow was touched by the kind act.
"Thankee Sirrah. I'll teach her to care for it and use it."
Tyler hugged the smaller girl and she was able to speak at last.
"Thank you."
"Sure thing Clare. Don't lose it, alright?"
She nearly throttled him then.
"I won't!"
HE let her go and Sera nearly killed her with a last hug.
"Take care! Oh, and you a cutie, Clare."
The poor girl's face went beat red as Sera said this before the pair climbed back up onto their horses to keep moving.
"Bye Clare! Nice to see you too Yarrow. Make sure some bastard don't steal that thing!"
"Bye Clare!"
the blue mage and his daughter waved goodbye to the heroes.
"Farewell Outcasts! We'll take good care fo it and her!"
"Bye Tyler! Bye Sera! I'll miss you! Thank you so much!"
Soon as they were out of sight, Clare looked at the glittering blue dagger in her fist.
"I got a gift from the Outcast? ME?"
She looked at her father as if disbelieving it happened. HE smiled as he took a look at the dagger. Then he noticed something.
"Me girl, he just gave you a Magicite dagger."
She started crying from just how overwhelmed with joy she was by the surprise from her hero. Yarrow hugged his daughter, as she felt her heart swell from the story she now got to tell.
