Mudy and his companions all look to the towers in the distance, which seem to be floating due to the heat distortion.
The sun and wind are a stimulating change from the mist, but Mudy feels like it will turn uncomfortable very soon.

Mudy let's his gaze roll across the sand.
>"How do we cross so much desert without provisions, Darkmoon?"
, he asks with some concern.

>"Sandvhorms!"
, Darkmoon replies with much confidence.
>"Vhe vhill beink tere in second."

So, did anybody ask for supplies from the foxes? No?

Ok, guess we're going to have to sweat. Ask those of our ranks who wield incredible powers of destruction if they can summon parasols or something.

Goddamn kitsune taxi service...

>>10111

Is... is that safe?

>>10111
Darkmoon, how do you get water around here? It's hot.

Ask if there's any Dark Elf customs that might get us killed, or rules that might get us run through.

Darkmoon laughs.

She looks to the horizon.

The excitement in her voice drops considerably.

Well where would we find a Farm, or them in their natural habitat?

Noone responds.

He sighs.
>"Fine. Fine. Let's look around in pairs, mayby we will find a farm. Me and Raital, Tote and you, Goldwomb and... where is Bladetree?"

With an irritated groan, Bladetree steps out of Gunther and Hans' shadow and raises his hand.
>"Present."

Mudy nods. He repeats his orders to go search up and down and across the rocky cliffside for a Sandworm farm, and return to the same spot in an hour.

Mudy and Raital silently climb along the top of the rocks. The other duos quickly disappear out of sight, behind rocks and rubble.

The sun presses down on Mudy hard. He can feel he won't last very long.
He can also feel a hand going up his leg.

>>10142
Jesus, woman, is that all you think about?
As tempting as it is, let's at least wait for a moment when we aren't likely to die from overheating. We have to conserve our energy.

You can find your way back with the trail of nose blood, wiggle that butt.

"It's too hot for that, Raital... I promise there will be time for that later, but right now we need to hurry up and find that sandworm farm. I'm being baked alive, here."

>>10142
Raital, I already feel like I'm going to pass out. I want it too, but not right now. Wait until we are housed in the royal chambers in Darkmoon's capital. Then we can explore each other's exotic regions again.

>>10143
Actually, I haven't seen any blood since that night. Did she run out, or have we just raised her tolerance for sexybold?

Hey! Raital is looking for physical contact! She's a sensitive sort unused to this kind of thing and she may very well have impressed on her little head that this kind of thing is normal. In fact, she may very well associate this sort of thing with her relationship with Mr. Mudy.

It is this simple one's deduction that an irritated response to this action might be a poor decision and hurt the little Raital. It is recommended that instead it be turned aside with a gentle reminded that such actions may not be prudent at the time, while simultaneously encouraging the young girl with a return of a more acceptable means of physical affection. This one humble sort recommends holding hands.

>>10142

"Dear... if we can find water and shade I promise you can have me all to yourself. You don't feel the heat at all do you?"

I concur on hand holding.

He gently peels her hand from his behind and takes it in his own.

Raital quietly complies.
>"Okay."

>>10153
Hey that looks like a little hut with some plants down there.

Go look at that. Feel up Raital's butt when you get a chance. She could use the extra affection~~

>>10153
Stop, look at that building in the bottom right corner. (To the uh..east, relative to mudy..maybe)

Mudy spots a small building at the bottom of the cliffside!
He gestures to Raital and the two quickly climb down the rocks.

>>10163
Go poke around inside.

>>10164
Inside of Raital, if I wasn't clear.

>>10163
Are those worms? If yes, go inside and send Raital to tell the others.

>>10163
Secure the area all sneaky instead of rushing in all HI HOW YA DOIN' like.

Without the others? This sounds like... ADVENTURE!

Quickly, discover just what sort of place this is, perhaps its inhabitants as well. Then, surprise the others with your discovery. Surely nothing could go wrong of exploring the household of a notoriously evil race, at least not with Blutjager in tow.

>>10163
Knock politely, wait for someone to come out.

>>10163
Well, this seems pretty straightforward. Knock on door, see if anyone's home. Oh and hey what's that behind the fence?

>>10163

"Hello, anybody in there?" Look inside.

>>10161
Perhaps it is like fairy gold, and dissappears sometime after (like when you try to do useful things with it)

Behind the fence lies some strange things, breathing as though alive. Mudy assumes they're Sandworms! He quickly tells Raital and orders her to rush back and tell the others with her supreme speed and stamina.
Mudy himself decides to look into the hut, whose shadow is very welcoming.
There is no door to knock on, so Mudy parts the curtain.
>"Hello, anybody in there?"
The inside of the hut is small and not very luxurious, but it's cool and looks very comfortable for one or two people to stay in.

>>10176
OH SHI-

Get out like YESTERDAY.

>>10176
OH GOD IT'S STOLMPRAGUE.

He equips his pokerface.
>"Stormplague, I presume?"

>"I did not get paid"
, Stormplague responds.
>"Yuu showed me Raitar's book rast time, but it turned out to be wrong. Where is the correct book?"

He can outrun us, he's considerably faster than everyone in the party, except maybe Raital.

We might be talking our way out of this one.

and by talking i mean keeping your hands up and doing what he tells us to do till we can betray him.

>>10191
"First..out of curiosity...exactly how much is The Skullking paying you? I may, just may, be able to pay you more."

>>10191
It's back in our fortress. You can go back there and find it, it's in the giant skull.

>>10191
"I actually blew up the camp after you left. I mean, there were so many dead bodies left, and... anyway, there's nothing left."

>>10191
Look at the ceiling while talking to him to determine source of blood.

Look up at dripping bodies.

"I thought that was it."

>>10191
How about ... uh ...
"Yeah sorry, but I'm in the headhunting business too. I already turned the head in. Sorry again."

Pretend to be confused. Claim that you DID let him destroy Raital's book. Suggest that the Skullking is lying so she doesn't have to pay him.

"We blew up the camp after we left, if she was there, she's probably dead. However. if she's still alive she probably escaped into the forest. she travels with a shapeshifter and a formless demon"

"and did you have to kill the farmer?"

What's our inventory? All we have is the gem, sword, and flute, right?

Step outside to avoid having the rain of blood of the previous owners of this place who Stormplague has stashed in the lofts or something, cake you.

Describe Taikah,lulu and kuhrel without revealing their names. And give him their last known location.

Oh... and add "Bring me the tall one's head and i'll throw in a bonus"

so he doesnt just stab you and go get it himself.

Incidentally, since they have your payment, there's no need to come find us after it's fulfilled. You can just, y'know, have it.

>>10211
How about Luhra Luhra? He's a serious threat, and we haven't seen him use any tricks yet so we are not sure what he is capable of. If either Prague or Luhra die, it's a boon for us. Win-win, really.

Tell him we want the Blutjaeger known as Luhra Luhra dead. Give him the description of Luhra, and the description of his companions.

, Stormplague answers without skipping a beat.

Describe a powerful hermit that lives in the Dwarven mountain peaks. Also mention that he is a master of illusions, and may have disguised his cave to blend in with the mountains. After he leaves, pray that this hermit does not really exist.

>>10222
Wow, really? You decimated an entire camp in six seconds. We figured you were scarier than this.
... not that you aren't really, really scary.
Wait. If you're not the first heir, can you tell us who is? What he's like?
We can give you this shiny gem we have in exchange for the info~

Well we could spin a tale to say its darkbeing with the curse removed but still powerful ooooor up the ante and bargain our second enchanted blade.

"My apologies. Would you accept the sword as a retainer for not accepting contracts on me and my comrades?"

Whaaaaat.

"...so you can handle a half-demon Blutjaeger...but not a half-cat one or a half-elf one? I thought you were the best, Stormplauge..."

>>10225

NO

Ask what it'd cost to have him permanently employed in your "army".

>>10222
Taikah is in possession of said blade. Would you eliminate Taikah for the sword and this gem?

Produce the gem we found in Raital's cloak.

>>10228
Raital is the youngest (except for Mudy), and therefore the least powerful (again, except Mudy).

It's pretty obvious strength has to do with age among the blutjaegers, not heritage.

>>10228
Half-Elf?
More like Half-Angel? Didn't you notice his *wings*?

Do not taunt happy fun super assassin as it may be hazardous to your health. This goes double if you are a kobold

Yeah dont antagonize him..

>>10238
This.

>>10238
>>10239
NO!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

That is the ABSOLUTE worst thing you could do.

Tell him where Raital is and bail into the desert. Dig a hole and live off of underground insects.

Numerous plots and ploys spin through Mudy's head as he desperately tries to find a way to get the bountyhunter off him.
He knows he only has one shot lest he breaks the man's patience.

He describes a hermit that lives in the Dwarven mountain peaks, and tells him that the hermit uses illusions to prevent people from finding his cave.
Mudy stresses that he has been unable to kill the hermit himself because of this, and is thus resorting to hiring Stormplague.

Stormplague nods.

Ah well, explore the place. Find worms.

I bet he's back within seconds. So get the fuck moving.

Oh...well....ok then.

...he's going to be very pissed off when he finds no hermit.

Well, now we unleashed a powerful idiot in the dwarven territories... we just did skullkings job for her. Dammit.

>>10247

I'd say he's pretty damn stupid, yeah. Or at least doesn't really bother with this whole "thinking" thing.

This'll come to bite us in the ass when he really does find the hermit we didn't know existed and returns without his blade.

>>10247
Well he did believe the book thing. Hell he even believes it now, he asked for real Raital book.

So basically he minmaxed like hell. 3 int, 3 wis, 3 cha, FINAL DESTINATION!

THERE NOW THERE WILL BE NO CONFUSION.

From what he said, I'd assume he's not that much more powerful than Taikah, so the Dwarves are probably safe.

Mudy heads back outside. The hut was cool, but the body really wasn't a nice sight.
The things behind the fence do look like giant worms with tough leathery skin.
Mudy can't see what part is their front of back as these are hidden in the sand, but their bodies move up and down as though breathing. They are all huddled up on the same spot.

Mudy can't even lift one of the bags. He decides to order the others to take them when they arrive.

He heads back outside to investigate the worms some more. He begins to make soft coo-ing noises to get their attention and appear friendly.
After a moment the bodies shift, and a single massive worm raises itself from the sand.

>>10269

SPICE MUST FLOW!

Erm, I mean... run inside. Try not to scream.

Give it a hug.

Yeah, lets loot things as fast as possible.

Any compact food,
water
flint/tinder
pots, pans (at least one if possible)
over-cloaks and wraps for the sun

The creature vibrates slowly as it returns the coo-ing noises.

Well, lets try and keep that worms attention and stay in a body position that exudes confidence and dominance, so NO TREMBLING or any other means of showing that you are thinking 'Oh my giant fanged worm'

Right then.

Back to Raital/Camp, get them to come down.

This is probably some quirk of sand worms, so Darkmoon can deal with this. Plus we need to go get everyone anyway.

>>10285

Mudy quickly ends the hug and steps back, only to bump into another part of the Sandworm.
>"..Uh.. Well.. hm.."
He coughs.
"As.. tempting as that may be, I fear I am already in a committed relationship at the moment."
, he stammers.
The Sandworm continues cooing.
>"~~~THAAAAATTT'SSSS OOOOKAAAAAYYY~~~IIIII DOOOON'TTTT MIIIINDD~~~"

Mudy coughs again and sniffs as he tries to come up with another response.
>"Oh, uh. Well, I don't know if it will work. We probably aren't...uh...compatible."
He feels the Sandworm beginning to trap him.
>"~~~WEEEE CAAAAN TTRRRRYYYYY~~~WOOOUULLLDDD YOOOUUU LIIIIIKKEEE TOOOO SEEEEEE MYYYYY CLLLOOAAACCAAAA~~~~"

>>10300

Of course!

>>10300

Run away while screaming.
Hide in Raital's bosom.

Flee for your little Kobold life!

Oh god its going to be a nest of razor sharp spines that salivate acid.

>>10300

OH GOD NO

No, shit is going bad, lets command the sandworm to put us down, and if we aren't getting a response immediately thereafter, shout your head off until you hear Raital and co coming, all while trying to yank out you sword.

This is not something we want to proceed ANY further right now.

>>10300

Well shit. Let it show us. Complement it, try not to vomit.

>>10300
Agree for the sake of SCIENCE!

>>10300

"... Well you see, Raital does not want to share and she is very strong. You would just get hurt over mating rights and then I would have no transport. Pretty please?"

>>10311
'She is the alpha of our pack, and has claimed me'

Add that bit, I imagine a species such as this knows that concept VERY well.

Mudy knows that Raital and the others are probably far out of earshot as he can not see anyone on the rocky slope. With the Sandworm's huge body bumping against him from both sides he figures he can only make a run for it if he comes up with good distraction first.
As he tries to come up with it he agrees with the Sandworm.
It shifts its body, rolling part upside down to expose itself. A rancid acidic stench immediatly overwhelms Mudy.
He begins to feel lightheaded.

The Sandworm immediatly turns its head.
>"~~~TWWWOOOOOOO~~~IIII LIIIIKE THAAAATT~~~"
It momentarily loosens its grip and Mudy uses all his might to wriggle himself free!

>>10334

Shout to Hans and Gunther. Tell them that this worm is guarding delicious apples.

Run up the rocky hill. Don't stop until you are out of the worm's reach.

>>10334
I have not been this happy to see those guys previously.

'Hans, Gunther! get over hear!'

Whether they help us get free or we use one as a substitute for the worm's attentions while we get the rest of the party, I have no idea.

>>10334

"Those two are expert cloaca touchers!"

>>10334

Gunther, Hans it's time to make a sacrifice... there are apples in that cloaca, fetch.

Mudy cries out for Hans and Gunther to help, who swiftly pull him out of the worm's grip.

The worm turns around and rests its head on the fence.
>"~~~YOUUUUU TRRRIIICCCKKKEEEEDDD MEEEEEE~~~"
It sounds terribly disheartened.

Mudy quickly apologizes. He doesn't want to lose his transport.
"You see, Raital -- our.. our alpha -- does not want to share and she is very strong. You would just get hurt over mating rights."
, he quickly says.

The Sandworm cooes gently.

>>10344
Aw c'mon, baby, dun' be like 'dat. You kno yo's th'only one fo' me.

>>10344
While we're waiting for everyone else to show up, ask the poor, misguided worm for its name.

>>10344
Lets just go hook up with the rest of the party, and group up here. There are clearly supplies and mounts enough for everyone, so lets just deal with that.

Can we focus on the fact that Stormplague is going to come back with some poor hermit's head, demanding a sword?

The rest of Mudy's companions now begin to arrive, descending the rocks.

>>10349
"Free supplies inside, courtesy Stormplague. But I convinced him to head off to the mountains for a while. Bladetree, go help carry the supplies out."

>>10349
Tell it it's name is now...Cheryl.

Just don't forget to gather copious supplies just in case before leaving, all right Mudy?

>>10349
Assuming everyone is here, tell everyone about Stormprague-er-plague's reappearance, and warn them that he may be back.

Then lets ride that worm to darkelf city.

>>10350
Well, wait, aren't we still missing a few people? Axebeard, Bladetree, and Raital still don't seem to be present.

>>10357

You can't always draw everyone in same panels. Takes too much time.

>>10358
Sure, but the overly affectionate sandworm hasn't been threatened yet. So Raital at least probably isn't here.

Mudy tells the worm its name is now.. Cheryl.

The Sandworm stops vibrating for a moment, then vibrates harder then ever. Somehow, even with the radically different way it communicates, Mudy senses that it is deeply touched.

Shortly after little platforms and tents - found behind the hut - are installed on the worm's back at Darkmoon's command, and all of the food and water is loaded in at Mudy's command.
The company is finally on its way.

>>10362
"Darkmoon, I wouldn't..."

>>10363

Just before getting on board Darkmoon assures Mudy that the Sandworms are dumb mindless creatures and should not be taken seriously. She states that the Sandworms should be lucky that the Dark Elves took them into their care.

During the trip Mudy finds that the tents provide a great deal of comfort despite the turbulence. They are cool and soft, with food and water within reach.
He feels that after walking so much this way of transport is an amazing change.

He also feels a hand going up his leg.

Nobody else's in the room, why not?

>>10369
Undress.

>>10369
Well... it'll probably be a long trip...

Mark this tent as ours! Blood over everything!

>>10369

Weell, we did promise, didn't we?

Well hopefully the worm wont be able to tell whats going on.

...

it'll be funny either way. do it.

>>10369
Go for it. Just... y'know... try to keep quiet in case Cheryl would take offense.

>>10369
Make the sandworm vibrate. Then go for it.

>>10369
Talk to Raital. Try to get her to open up to us beyond just fucking and cuddling.

"So... What do you like to do, Raital? Besides, me, of course..."

>>10369
I wonder if Mudy still wears her panties. Maybe that's what she's trying to find out.

>>10378

But do remember to cuddle and tm while asking. I also would like a bit openness and show that we would like her input on things. Considering the bad decicions we've made lately.

Mudy looks at Raital, though her eyes are currently focus on his legs.
He remembers all of his sister's interests and hobbies: Flower arranging, bone arranging, decorating weapons, raising demonic beasts, and exploring the citadel. He'd always join her. Frankly, Mudy can't think of any hobbies he didn't share with her.
>"So... Do you still like to do the same things, Raital? Besides, me, of course..."
, he asks.
Raital frowns a little bit, as if disturbed from something important.
>"Huh..? Oh, yeah.. Well, I didn't do them as much while you were gone ofcourse.."

Copulate with Raital
As the sandworm hits a bump, both tumble into the hut behind them
Hut behind them contains Bladetree

>>10382
Love isn't just sex, Raital. Maybe we can talk sometime, or see if we share the hobbies still.

But for now, y'know, let's go. I'm not too sore from last night, are you?

>>10382
Hey, I know! Let's ask Raital to decorate Mudy's sword!
It's not like there was anything else we were going to do, right?

>>10382
Cuddle her and say that you should start a garden once all this is over.

>>10382
Flower arranging? I've got some seed for you.

Bone arranging? I've got a bone for you to arrange.

Decorating weapons? How about you decorate my greatsword right here?

Raising demonic beasts? You are certainly making SOMETHING rise.

Exploring the citadel? Yeah, I'll explore your citadel in a minute.

"I'm sorry to hear that I always liked decorating with you. You have been awfully quiet during all this. Are you embarassed in front of others? Don't be. I would like to hear what is on your mind before we make a decision. You have as much a right to be here as anyone just remember that... Now about that promise I made."

>>10382
But this time Mudy is on top.

Wait, what happened? I saw a picture, and then it was gone.

"I think bladetree might take issue with us being together... want to freak him out?"

I guess he posted the wrong picture. He said something in IRC about accidentally saving over his picture.

Reminds me of that "stages of /b/tard" image.

We could also have a coolface Mudy saying "Problem, Bladetree?".

>>10409
"We're just wrestling. It's the way we kobolds greet long-lost friends. Not worth getting upset over, at all."

>>10409
If we DO end up having to deal with Bladetree, the best way would probably be to just feign innocence.

"SHE IS YOUR SISTER!"
"...So?"
"WH- ITS INCEST!"
"...
...Sssso?"
"IT IS SICK AND WRONG AND- AND- AUGH!"
"...But WHY? Whats so wrong about it? :3"
"I- J- W- AUGH!"
And then his head explodes.

>>10451
The setting might have a god. He may then have an actual reason/point. But we can then point out the god's not stopping the Skullking.

>>10461
Holy crap that is an awesome chart, fuck yeah!

But wow, the Blutjaeger are STRONG. and Stormplague isn't all that strong, comparative to our party as a whole. With Raital around again we are a legitimate power, pretty big change in play options.

>>10461
...Hrm.

On reflection on the chart, it seems clear that our dear mother Skullking was either able to turn herself into a Fiend or find a magic to infuse Fiend blood into her progeny. If the latter, that explains a good bit, but the nosebleed things may imply that it has repercussions to the bearer's health. But if it is the former, then as her youngest child we should have also had fiendish blood.

Interesting. Things to ponder.

>>10461
Awesome!

Y'know, after Stormplague comes back we should probably just jump him. I mean, goddamn. He's just going to keep coming back, going to keep being a huge problem, going to keep killing random innocents to look cool, and he's NEVER going to really work for us now that we blew our one chance to hire him on busy-work.

>>10466
And think of the supply of awesome weapons he would have on him. Improve on what we have, and get some war funds from the rest.

That is of course assuming that at least a few of the weaker character (read: everyone but Raital) would probably die. So we should either get more friends or be ready to have heavy casualties if we take him on. He did destroy our army, take Totenkopf's arm and kill Calavera all without much apparent effort.

>>10468
Well, do you have any plans to deal with him that don't involve constantly sending him on dumb missions of murder at fantastic expense, before he finally asks what Raital looks like, comes back, and kills us all?

>>10469
I was gonna say get him to hold the traitor's sword. I mean won't it make him betray the people who employ him for example the Skullking? I don't know exactly how we would do it, but if we could get it done...

In addition to us having no idea how to make him grab the sword, and in addition to us not knowing if it still works after its jewels exploded, and in addition to Khural having been left off holding the sword with all the complications and subsequent solutions (destroying or burying) that implies... In addition to all that: If there is one area where Stormplague is knowledgeable, it is probably about swords.

Motherfucker loves swords.

>>10477
Yeah i dont think we can get him to willingly approach darkbeing. Or convince him that its still useful.

though its best to spring plans at the last moment if you have them.

>>10470
It broke, and was left on the ground by all those Blutjaegers a bit ago.

It is no longer in our possession.

Also, if we want to keep sending him away, we should try and collect magic/rare weapons as we go, so we can give him pay for 'time spent' and avoid having him kill us for our trickery.

Also, is it me or does anyone else see a bit of a consistent decline in child power for the Skullking? Her first kid got celestial and fiendish blood, a nice bit of classical RPG powergaming, is intelligent enough to not fall for our tricks and is the strongest Blutjaeger. Then the next kid trades in celestial exarch blood for werecat blood. Definitely a downgrade. And then comes Taikah, who can barely form thoughts of her own. Next is Raital, who start showing Kobold traits, which none of the other children thus far had shown, and being the weakest yet. Then there is Mudy/Latral, full kobold and the weakest of all. We know that the Skullking was at some point a kobold, and this decline in power of heirs coupled with growing kobold traits manifesting could mean that the Skullking is losing power somehow.

This would actually make the appointment of a new heir make perfect sense, since the now weakened Skullking would need something to protect herself from her children's scheming. Add this to the fact that when we, Mudy, her weakest child went up against her, we somehow managed to live. Could be some unknown plot device, or could be further signs that the Skullking doesn't have the power she used to.

I don't know, it may not have any conclusive data behind it, but it sounds like it could fit the data we do have to me, or does this sound like crazy talk to everyone else?

>>10470
Well aren't we technically employing him now?

Might not be the best idea now.

This is kind of off topic, but I don't think I have ever seen Raital smile. We should try and get her to smile next chapter.

>>10484
she can't smile, her mouth is always :<

>>10487
WE MUST MAKE IT :3
POSSIBLY >:3

>>10495
Raital is more suited to a >;3 face.
It would be patently hilarious.

I thought Bladetree would be stronger... didn't he say he killed a dragon?

Perhaps it was a rather small one.
