Hoards and Heroes

[VintageBass]

Finding herself with some of the other monsters from the dungeon, Meg takes a look around and see what is there for her, and possibly for all of them. She thinks to herself of a plan about how to get inside without causing too much alarm, since all of them are monsters and one of them happens to be controlling by a bug and has no pants on. At least she seems the more qualify thanks to her own appearance, but still humans aren't exactly all that keen to monsters. Hopefully her silver tongue could slip her way around these people, and maybe get some cum outta the deal.

And with her little slime buddy climbing back up onto her and forming into a chestpiece, she rubs him gently to show her affection before looking at the ghoul she met earlier. "Look, sorry about earlier, I wasn't exactly comfortable with how things were," she replied. "If there's anything you need, I'll hop on in and work on getting it. I also need to get some snacks for my little slime buddy," and once again going to pet the slime on her chest. And if her need to collect shiny objects pays off, then both of them will be a good team in the long run.

Hilda pops her head up out ground when she reached the group of monsters. "Hey guys sorry no time to talk need to get tools for the dungeon... oh and I can talk again. Anyway I need to hurry this up before the moon falls on me." She begins to slowly close the hole. "I'm going in there to grab some stuff for us do what you want. come one Gael let's go."

[RavenLord]

When Max had first met up with others, he had seen them as backup. While he could do this alone, with less risks, with more hands and different abilities, he had thought could do better. Unfortunately he had forgotten that these were the same monsters who had only created clusterfucks so far, every time more than two of them came together.

"Yeah, i guess it would be too much to epxect any of you to answer."

Max grimaced. He could already see the beginnings of yet another clusterfuck. Maybe it was better to go alone after all. He watched as the human puppeted by the bug turn his back to him. He noted the bug directing its human puppet away from the group, without a word or anything. Catgirl ignored him and started talking to the slime. He didn't expect any kind of communication from the slime at all and it didn't surprise him to see slime climb up over the catgirl. His last hopes were dashed when Hilda just told them she was going to steal the tools, and started moving away without waiting a response.

"Sure, go ahead, it is not like we are here for the samething. No need for us to cooperate. What are the chances of someone in this group actually being capable of sneaking..."

Max gave a sigh. This was irritation talking, irritation of having achieved fuck all, except getting himself decapitated. Being frustrated wouldn't help him much.

"After all, i am the shining example of compotence, right? No, get yourself together Max. No need for self-pity. You have a plan, you are going to do this. Now, first things first."

With that Max ran after Hilda before she could move any farther away from the group.

"Stop... Listen... Me... here.. to steal... thingies too... Best... work... together..."

He then turned toward catgirl and the other monsters, adressing both them and Hilda.

"Me... sneak... good... scout... first... me... thinks... You follow... Savvy?"

[VintageBass]

Meg seems confused that the ghoul she was talking to, Max?, seems to think she has ignored him when she was talking to him. She feels a little hurt by that, but at least she got something to do... or rather, not do, as the ghoul explained for them to wait while he goes off to check if things are safe. Seeing that she hasn't done much at the moment, she got up and follows him. "Again, I'm sorry about ignoring you," she said, "but let me assist you on this. I can serve as a distraction in case you get caught, plus you might need a few extra hands." Although she is curious as to how well her slime is going to work with carrying stuff, but this just might work. "So, do you want me to come or let me sit around?"

[spriter1]

So here she is trying to be the hero, and then this guy tries to steal Gael's thunder?! HOW DARE HE!
"And why the fuck can I not scout?! I'm a fucking head! If anyone is less noticeable it should be me dice I can fly above everyone, and can also hide in a lot more places, so why the fuck are you the scout?!"

[RavenLord]

Max turned his attention to Catgirl. She seemed sincere, and what's more, she was right. She could be very helpfull. If somehow Max came across a human, she could prevent them from raising alram by distracting them. So max noded at her.

"You... say... true... Good... help... Sneak together..."

If Max wanted to say anything more, it was interrupted by a... flying skull, thingy? He listened as it talked. After the skull finished talking, Max remained silent for a second, contemplating what it said.

If what this guy saying is true, then he could also be great help, by scouting from above and directing us through safer paths to village not to mention easly locating the buildings like smithy and carpentry, thus saving me and others from wandering around the village to find them.

"True... hmmm... we wait?... You... fly... scout first... find... smithy... carpentry... buildings with thingies... come back... show us..."

[spriter1]

Gael gives a bit of a nod, before flying off in search of the things of which that guy spoke of. Speaking of guys, was she a guy now? Like she didn't have any bits anymore, so she is neither male r female, but would she be a guy, or is she a girl still. The head danced these thoughts around her head before settling on a plant. No idea how.

[Taria]

Kal hops on over to what she presumes in the alchemy shop. She takes a good look around and notices the iron-reinforced wooden doors are firmly locked shut. Oddly enough she finds a pair of lock picks that could be used in manipulating a common door lack just laying on the ground beside the build, though she wouldn't know the first thing about how to use them... There does not appear to be any other means of access into this building, just iron-barred windows small enough to fit a tiny human. Guess they don't expect miniature thieves.

Gadrienly adeptly gags the girl and hot-ties her up before she even has a chance to wake up. She is too big for him to sneak her out the way he came in, so he uses the front door, scampering away as quickly as he can so as not to suffer possibly waking family member. Nobody attempts to stop him as he runs away, the girl squirms and tosses herself about to no avail, it just makes it impossible for him to carry her, guess she's forcing herself to get dragged. Fuck, humans are heavy... this could take a while.

Romala hunches over into some small brush to avoid detection as she gazes off along the farm side. Hmm, not much activity going on at this hour. Wait, what's this? A small impish looking figure in the distance appears to be dragging away a bound and gagged woman away.

Razajin slowly makes his way back to the dungeon to recover from his broken arm. It is incredibly quieter than it was previously, but he does notice it has been expanded a bit, with some raw resource lying around on the ground.

Nir spends a while walking along the lake. It is rather large, stretching out along the mountain pass and away from it. Eventually she does find a small hut, several miles off from the mountain.

Gael floats through the city without much concern of being spotted, whenever a patrolling guard happens to walk by she easily just hovers toward a secluded place without moving and all attention just passes her by. She spots another monster here scampering around in the merchant area, noticing a store full of tools while she watches Kal look for a way into the alchemy shop. She also discovered the location of the village blacksmith, it open forges now cold and silent, the door inside shut tight.

Hilda feels nervous about being out in the open, but is fine for now. Maybe she'll be ok wandering tonight so long as everything is still.

The rest of the group waits in quiet as they pass the time waiting for Gael to return. It takes about an hour but she finally shows back up to give her information.

[spriter1]

Gael quickly buzzes back and tries to relay yer information. This will be fun.
"Back! Okay so... First off I found things, and things we need. They are all in the area where people buy and sell the things and I usually set ablaze once I have sacrificed the goats, virgins and shiny trinkets that are there to the god of daffodils. There is also tools in a building and another building where they do the thing with the metal where it protects you and also makes everyone bleed the lovely red fun time liquid. Also I saw another monster... Trying to remember their name... Sal... Hal... KAL! That's it! They were outside the alchemist's."

[Earthsage]

Romala, using her host's eyes, notices a small and distinctly demonic looking figure dragging a woman away..
Well, surely they won't mind her helping out a little bit, in exchange for a little more suitable host.
She rises and walks over to the imp, not really caring that the imp will probably think that the naked man walking towards him is controlled by a friendly.
Once she's there, she tries to figure out a way to either incapacitate or kill her host, with the former being the preferable option here.

[Taria]

Romala feels bad about leaving the man full of all his tasty juices, but he'll probably recover after a nap albeit suffering a major headache.

[Earthsage]

With all that said and done, Romala scuttles off of the man and tries to figure out which attachment will provide the most control over her new Host.. And decides to try out a connection to the woman's cranial cavity this time. And maybe she can get something to sate her growing hunger, as well.

[venomouswings]

"Ok Ok Gael just calm down, can you direct me to where the tools are so I can tunnel my way in?" She asked as she got herself ready. "And hurry up I think the sky is about to fall ok."

[spriter1]

"The sky is about to fall?! FINALLY!"
Gael ends up looking at the sky for a couple of seconds waiting to see it collapse, but gave a sigh as it doesn't happen.
"Could could you lie to me about that... I'll still show you where it is though. Follow me and don't get caught! There is a couple of guards patrolling."
Gael then quickly flies off back in the direction of the village, leading Hilda along with her.

[Goryokaku]

Kal giggled somewhat in excitement as she scooped up the lockpicks not for her own use but she'd probably find someone who coud use them. Then slipping through the bars she enters the drug lab, Alchemist shop and begins rummaging around for the good stuff. She tried to do this quitely and efficiently and also tried to resist any urge she would get to sample the wares she was about to pinch.

[Nobudi]

Nir cautiously approached the hut.
Hut usually meant humans, and Nir already died once from humans.
If she heard no sounds up close, then she'd circle around it and perhaps enter.
If there were sounds, she'd stealth herself immediately.

[RavenLord]

Max noded at Gael as she told them the places of important buildings. When Hilda told Gael that she could tunnel underground, Max was both relieved and dissappointed at the same time. He was relieved because it made their job much more easier.

"With a tunnel, we don't have to limit our party size as we don't risk getting caught sneaking through the city, and instead just go underground. Yet, i dont get to do my sneaky thing..."

He was dissappointed because his skills had became unneccassary. In the end, a successfull run was more important to Max then his own ego. With that in mind, Max turned to others.

"We... follow?..." ghoul asked to other monsters.

[VintageBass]

Once the skull came back with the information about what is it in the village, Meg got herself ready to head on into the village to go along with this mission. Sure this is all about getting some supplies for the dungeon, but getting some other things for the slime and her own needs is a priority. And hearing about guards got her ears twitching and tag wagging at the prospect of getting more delicious cum out of them. But first there's the matter of keeping the ghoul alive and she nods to him about her being ready. "I... We're ready," she answered, remembering that she does have her slime companion clinging to her chest. She might as well include him since he can't speak.

[venomouswings]

"Ok Gael I'll do my best to follow you underground hopefully I'll pop up under this place." With that she starts her plan to tunnel under the place with the tools, with the others maybe following her.

[RavenLord]

Max nods at Megs answer. Then he turns to Hilda.

"We need to steal lots of tools and supplies. One building probably won't be enough, but if Hilda can keep digging, and we keep silent, we can do this. Problem is, we have to find some way to collaps the tunnels after we are done... Guess, we will cross that bridge later."

Then one question came to his mind.

"How does she intend to follow that skull underground?"

Which he promptly voiced.

"Follow... flying skull... underground... how?"
