hme220: "I have encountered one of these towers before," Orgrosh announced calmly, "There will only be one floor. Whatever leads these beings will be within, waiting for us with the last of its servants. It is likely that the last daughter of the family that aided me is within as well, though whether or not her soul remains intact is beyond my knowledge. I was in the village's prison for three days, so I am not optimistic about her chances."
"That's no attitude to have..." Cory muttered to herself, but Janne said; "I'm afraid Orgrosh is correct. Few last long in the hands of the invaders."
Mamono Force: Bakan went silent at what was said regarding the girl's chances. His heart felt heavy, and he already felt as if he had failed. Still, lifting his hammer, he looked ahead at the tower. "... Let's just go." he said with a grim tone.
hme220: "Aye commander," Orgrosh said softly, an unusual change from her normally firm tone. Rhep was holding her club at the ready, Cory had her sword in hand, and the two sorceresses had their staff ready and their spells prepared.
As Bakan stepped towards the tower, an opening appear in it in front of them, allowing them to enter. Inside was musty and slimy, the organic walls shifting and quivering as occasional drops of goo fell onto their shoulders and heads. The floor was slippery and soft, making it difficult to move properly, and a sense of crushing lifelessness closed in around them, the lack of any natural magics so great that it was possible to feel it physically.
(Bakan has entered an area of low magic. Spells are treated as two levels higher for the purpose of how much EP they cost and how difficult they are to cast. In addition, the organic slippery floor is difficult to move on, and prohibits the run and charge movement options and gives a -10 penalty to Resistance checks to being knocked Prone or moved backwards)
"It'll be difficult for us to use our full power in here... But we can still be of use. Here~" Janne said, and she cast a spell on Bakan to improve his strength
(Bakan gains a +16 bonus to Body)
Bakan felt his muscles tense as his balance suddenly improved thanks to Janne's spell, and Savannah cast a similar spell on Rhep. Cory and Orgrosh both waved off the sorceresses, however.
"You'll need your strength in this mess." the half demon said simply.
They moved down a narrow, fleshy, slimy corridor, the mages balls of light allowing them all to see, and shortly thereafter they passed into a great chamber that stretched high into the air, seemingly containing much of the tower's height. The walls were lined with pods, and the chamber was bare save for the pods and their enemies.
As they passed through the doorway, Bakan immediately spotted two groups of hunters, three members each and waiting on either side of the door, their beady black eyes reflecting the light cast by the witch's magic. Though they were within immediate striking range at only ten feet from the doorway, they didn't initially attack when the six of them stepped into the chamber. Thirty feet ahead was a wall of three more grey slimes like the one that had raped Bakan earlier, and very nearly consumed his soul. Just pas them were three women clustered together, all human, naked, dripping with slime, and gazing at them with a twisted combination of madness, lust, and hunger. Standing beside her was a violet slime woman, and finally, another ten feet back and a total of fifty feet from where Bakan stood, was a much larger slime.
It was blue, and already half formed into a feminine appearance that smiled at Bakan, a tiny crown formed of the substance of her body adorning her head. "Welcome, Bakan Jeru~ Have you come to donate more of your essence to the cause? You may recognize these two lovely creatures in front of me, the one you fought in the lake has wanted to payback your two friends there for some time, and little grey one in the middle absorbed so much energy from you that even the angel's strike couldn't destroy her!"
Mamono Force: (Back and holy shit so much to read)
hme220: (FEEL THE WRATH OF THE WALL OF TEXT)
Mamono Force: Stepping into the alien's den, Bakan felt sick before he even stepped foot inside. Everyone would see Bakan visibly shiver, and he looked anything but mentally stable. Though what Janne did well worked to help relieve him of the nervous feeling shaking his body, Bakan still didn't feel at ease. Stepping inside, Bakan kept his hammer tight in hand, holding onto it for dear life. And when he stepped in, his heart was beating fast. The hunters and slimes made him alert, and he was ready to fight, though the pods in his vision almost made him want to throw up, combined with the three women, obviously suffering, he nearly did.
"Stop..." Bakan said weakly, his knees shaking. "Stop this..."
hme220: The slime woman, as well as Bakan's companions, all looked at him with a great deal of confusion for a moment, though the latter were mostly focused on keeping watch on their enemies. "Stop this? Stop what?"
Mamono Force: "I am at my limit, truly. I know everything... The result of what happens to those... Who fall under your care." Bakan stated. "I nearly became one of them... And I just don't understand... I don't understand why you do this."
"This... Emptiness... This thoughtless madness... To watch others suffer and become empty was an experience I would prefer never to see again, and yet... I am here again..."
Looking up slowly, Bakan's eyes and expression were empty, his mind somewhere else. "... Stop."
hme220: "Suffer? Why, my dear Bakan, there is no suffering here~ There is only pleasure, and peace. We do not fight each other, we only fight against those who's mindless selfishness would drive them to destroy one another. We will show your kind the way of true peace! Free of your individuality, of all desires but the physical~"
Mamono Force: "The empty eyes I have seen know nothing of pleasure. Nor will they ever know of kindness again." He shook his head. "I don't want to destroy you, nor anyone else. Just seeing those three women torments my mind in ways I cannot describe... Please... I am truly begging you... I will do anything for peace, but..."
Bakan shivered, "Anything but this."
hme220: "You will learn our kindness, I think... You have already experienced it once! I am honestly surprised that you feel this way. You gave in to her so easily, the slightest touch enough to break you and make you long for more of her touch~ If she took you so easily, you'll know bliss unlike anything you could even have imagined from me!" the slime woman exclaimed, and then shivered as her form began to change... >>
Her body shifted, growing shorter as portions of it extended outwards, wings forming as the translucent blue slime turned creamy and opaque, save for a place on the slime's head from which a mane of lustrous blonde hair formed. Ashloriel's eyes opened, and the angel's voice called out in a lewd croon that his adoptive mother had never used before in Bakan's presence; "Is this not your greatest desire?" she said, her hands running over her body which had suddenly become solid, the curves a perfect replica of what Bakan had seen when he had once caught Ashloriel when she was bathing. "Come to me, Bakan Jeru~ I will show you heaven~"
Mamono Force: Bakan took a step back, turning his head, but unable to look away from her. "How... How dare you!" Bakan shouted with a shocked tone, and a heavy blush on his face. "Watching you defile Ashloriel's image is the last thing I would ever want! You could never match her glory!" bakan declared.
hme220: "Oh? But I am Ashloriel... The only part of her that will remain once she has been claimed, along with the rest of her kin, and turned to see the way to true peace."
Mamono Force: Bakan frowned, his grip on his hammer tightening. "... You'll regret threatening her." he said, before mentally preparing himself to face every nightmare of a memory he had of his past, and casting a shield over the two sorceresses again. "I'll die before I let Ashloriel be touched by anything less than divine."

A protective dome of light appeared around the two faerie mages in back, and that seemed an indication for the battle to start, as the slime taking Ashloriel's form simply said; "La~" The hunters charged at them immediately, as did the three grey slimes....
(Time... To.... ROLL. SOME. DICE!)
Mamono Force: (inb4 1's)
hme220: (lol)
The three hunters on one side were intercepted by Cory, the half demon moving as quick as a lightning bolt, and her swordwork proving to be even quicker. The three lizardmen never even saw it coming as she ducked down them in a line, her sword darting about and cutting into each of their throats in turn. Each of them flopped to the ground in a pool of their own blood, and she was set to strike at the slimes as they advanced upon the three of them (

Mamono Force: (Hah, I have a boss theme playing that featured a terrifying alien boss)
hme220: Orgrosh watched Cory's skilled display, executed with unnering precision and in the literal blink of an eye, and smirked at the woman as she assumed a ready pose against the slimes. "Much more impressive than your last battle~" she said as she hefted her greatsword, but rather than use it the armor orc reared her head back before exhaling a great cone of flame, as he had seen the dragon do back in the lady's tower. The three alien lizardmen came out of the burst of fire badly singed, their scaly hides singed, but they had protected their faces from the brunt of the damage and charged at the stunned orc, who was clearly surprised to have seen them survive her attack.
Rhep intercepted one of them, charging, jumping, and slamming her club into the creature's head, causing it to fall back and allowing her to land on top of the thing's chest after descending with the falling monster. "Rhep smash!"
Janne and Savannah unleashed twin balls of ice at the slimes, causing the surface of the creatures to briefly harden before cracking and being absorbed back into their bodies, though they seemed unperturbed by the slippery surface on which they now stood.
The trio of women who were also caught in the blast seemed harmed more by the ice than their liquid counterparts, and they tumbled to the soft ground.
The two remaining hunters clawed at Orgrosh and Rhep, both of whom received vicious wounds from the alien creature's claws. Neither seemed perturbed by this, at least not yet, but their blood was on the ground.
Bakan felt an intrusion against his thoughts, lust for the woman standing behind a wall of allies standing across from him momentarily breaching into his thoughts before he pushed it aside. "Oh, a strong will? She didn't tell me you had that! You'll be so much fun to break~" the woman said, apparently unphased by the failure of her attempt
The four slimes advanced towards them, two of the grey ones trying and failing to lay their tendrils onto Cory, while the last grey and the purple one came towards Bakan, the one that had raped him earlier smiling at him eagerly as she reached to grab him. (Bakan's Dodge with the +8?)
Mamono Force: 44
hme220: Bakan managed, just barely, to avoid being grabbed by both slimes, but only by backing into his barrier, which he passed through harmlessly.

Orgrosh: HP = 69/97, PP = 49, EP = 61/72, Status = Fine

(derp, Orgrosh and Rhep are injured. Also, Bakan's turn. I'll include the upkeep for his wall now)
Mamono Force: "..." Bakan gave no reaction as his expression was blank, while the slimes reached for him. "I feel sick..." Bakan said lightly. "... Why..." he whispered, facing the slime that took Ashloriel's form. "You're even making my friends bleed. This is just the same as then... Why are you forcing me to relive that nightmare?" he asked her, shaking as he lifted his hammer.
"Stop." he repeated, before slamming his hammer into the purple slime.
hme220: (Bakan's attack/damage as modified by the +16 body?)
Mamono Force: Total Damage: 2d8 + 61

Mamono Force: (THEM FLASHBACKS OF THE VIETNAM WARDS)
hme220: (though their DR drops it to 17)
Mamono Force: (WARS EVEN)
hme220: (lol)
Bakan's hammer sunk into the body of the violet slime and passed right through it, taking a good chunk away as he retreated past his barrier. She pouted at him unhappily, and she and the grey reached for him, once again. They rebounded off of his barrier, however, and the sizzling of their bodies seemed to dissuade them from further attempts.
"Bakan!" Cory screamed at him as she weaved between the two slimes gunning for her, which were pushing her further and further away from the rest of the group. "Live in the now, or we all die!" she called as her rapier flicked three times at one of the slimes, but even though the slime was leaving more and more chunks of itself behind, it was still coming.
Rhep and Orgrosh finished off the hunters that had attacked them with relative ease before turning towards the slimes now with nothing to do, as they were blocked by Bakan's wall.
Mamono Force: "Cory... I'm sorry." Bakan replied, shaking his head, trying to snap out of it.
hme220: "Oh, I can't get you behind there~ Well then, lets see if the will of your friends is as strong as yours~" the slime queen stated as she slowly turned her gaze towards Cory, a devilish smile on her face....
Cory suddenly shivered as she came under the same mental assault that Bakan had, trying to resist it as he had. "Bakan..." she whimpered, as her defenses collapsed and tears of strain started rolling down her cheeks. She shut her eyes, fighting with all of her will... But when she opened them again, Cory's eyes were blank, and her rapier slipped from her fingers as she started shuffling towards the slime wearing Ashloriel's form.
Mamono Force: "NO!" Bakan shouted, rushing as fast as his feet would carry him to try and grab Cory in his arms, and hold her tight.
hme220: "Much better~"
Mamono Force: "You freak, you monster! Don't avoid me and attack others!"
hme220: "Grab him and hurry them both to me, I'm hungry~"
The two slimes followed Bakan as he broke from his wall, but both were struck by bolts of light from the two sorceresses, and ended up disolving into the ground.
The two that had been trying to nab Cory interposed themselves between Bakan and his lover, however, and prevented him from reaching her.
Mamono Force: "I'll kill you..." Bakan snarled. "Die... Die... Die... Die... Die..." he chanted, losing all rationality as he went to strike down whatever stood in his way of saving Cory.
hme220: "Can you make it through them in time~" the slime crooned as she started strolling towards Cory.
Bakan: HP = 94/108, PP = 39, EP = 48/79, Status = Fine, Holy Wall (+2), +16 Body (Inner Strength from Janne)

(Bakan's turn)
Mamono Force: Trying to go as fast as he could, he rushed, swinging his hammer at any who tried to get in his way while trying not to lose his stride. "CORY! I WILL MAKE YOU BURN IF YOU TOUCH HER!"
(Ruuuuun Bakan!)
(Smack that slime up)
hme220: The two slimes continued to obstruct Bakan's path, and he swung blindly at one of them as they blocked his path. He struck the one that wasn't already badly injured, and though his blow took a good chunk out of it he wasn't able to destroy it.
Mamono Force: 'It's happening again,' Bakan felt his heart skip a beat
hme220: "Remove your clothes~" the slime woman called to Cory, and the half demon did just that, her horns and tail appearing as she stripped down to her skin. She and the slime in Ashloriel's form reached one another, a cock appearing above the faux-angel's sex as she gently lifted the apparently eager half demon into her arms, easily guiding Cory into position and slipping her gooey member into her victim's sex while gazing at Bakan's face. Cory let out a loud, lewd moan and began to gyrate eagerly almost immediately, her body shivering with pleasure and arousal already....
Mamono Force: (Would it be possible for Bakan to shout out before getting netorared by the evil slime?)
(Or is it a done deal)
hme220: (yes)
(ohgodthumbsup, yes he can)
Mamono Force: "Stop! I'll trade myself for her! Don't! I beg you!" he tried to plead with the "If you let her go... I..." he stuttered, complete and utter fear in his expression as he watched Cory take the alien's grasp.
hme220: "Why not join her? I'm going to take you soon enough anyway, why fight any longer?"
Orgrosh and Rhep, meanwhile, charged at the slimes blocking Bakan's path to Cory, looking to help him. "This is ill advised commander! We can save her yet!"
"Cory will be okay once we smash slimy angel!" Rhep said in apparent agreement
Mamono Force: Bakan shook terribly, tears streaming from his eyes. "WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME!?" he screamed, feeling utterly hopeless as he found no way to completely save Cory. The moment the slime sunk into her, Bakan felt nothing but defeat.
hme220: "Oh I am listening to you~ Just tell your comrades to lay down their weapons, do so yourself, and drop your shield, and I will release her and take you instead!"
Mamono Force: Bakan shook his head. "I'm sorry... I'm truly sorry..." he said, crying his heart out. "Please kill her..." he said in reply to the alien, his words giving order to Rhep and Orgosh next to him as he lifted. his hammer to strike at the slime in front of him.
hme220: (ohgodBatmanquotepotentialbutthisisn'taquaRegia)
Mamono Force: (Batman quote, wat)
hme220: (The Dark Knight: "Very poor choice of words!")
Mamono Force: (lol, he isn't thinking rationally)
hme220: (I know, it would be horrible if I did that too, so I'm not gonna)
Mamono Force: (He is fighting the urge to just curl up and suffer)
hme220: The slimes went on the defensive as the two green fighters charged them, but Rhep's club tore through the one that Cory had struck earlier, literally blasting it into chunks in a single blow. Orgrosh likewise destroyed one of the creatures, freeing the way to Cory, but not before the slime had already begun to feed on her. >>
As the three warriors fought to make a path to her, the slime's cock slipped into Cory's pussy down to the hilt, and the two began to writhe against one another vigorously immediately, thrusting made unnecessary by the ability of the slime's member to move inside of Cory's tight sex. The agile half demon was conquered immediately, squirming in ecstasy as her soul was absorbed in vast portions by the slime raping her, until, with frightening speed, the excited women came on the slime's cock, the light leaving her eyes before she slumped, empty. She was then promptly dropped, even though she continued to reach pathetically for her rapist as if eager for more. >>
The slime's rod vanished into her body, along with Cory's juices, "Don't worry dear," she said, "I'll be sure to enjoy you for much longer than that~"
Bakan: HP = 94/108, PP = 39, EP = 41/79, Status = Fine, Holy Wall (+2), +16 Body (Inner Strength from Janne)

Cory: HP = 63, PP = 46, EP = 0/43, Status = Pregnant, Charmed, Helpless

Mamono Force: (So, Cory had her soul sucked out?)
hme220: (not all of it, she's still moving. If she had, that status would read Dead)
Mamono Force: Silent, Bakan swung his hammer rigidly. His spirit was broken.
hme220: (is this bad for you?)
Mamono Force: (Just Bakan. He's pretty much crushed)
hme220: (mkay, just wanted to make sure I wasn't upsetting ye)
Mamono Force: (He'll be dark and quiet from here on out, lots of therapy)
hme220: Bakan's hammer swung through the slime, breaking up Ashloriel's form and causing her to look as if she was made from melting wax for a moment before she returned to her form. "Ow! That wasn't very nice~"
Mamono Force: "I said I'd protect her..." Bakan mumbled, his expression empty as he would swing, and swing, and swing until either he fell, or the creature was dead.
hme220: Orgrosh and Rhep joined him, as did the two sorceresses from back behind his wall, blade and club and hammer and spell tearing into the slime, who was forced to retreat and return to her original formed under the waves of attacks. She wasn't smiling any more, "And you failed!" his enemy shrieked shrilly, "Even if you kill me, it won't bring her back! Let me go, and I'll give her back her soul!"
Mamono Force: "I wish..." he weeped. "I wish I could believe you..."
Raising his hammer, he went to strike again.
"Idian... Cory... I'm sorry..." he cried.
hme220: This time, Bakan's hammer tore all the way through the slime woman's form, rending her in half and causing her to disolve into the slime coating the ground. The room, for now was empty, and the two mages came forth from Bakan's protective wall and quickly examined the now motionless half demon. Orgrosh and Rhep took one look at Bakan and moved away to collect the spoils of the dead (1 greyheart, 5 slime ambers, 6 chameleon skins)
