The Harpy swoops down towards, screeching as she descends. Grime and filth encrust her matted black feathers and her face resembles that of a screaming demon, but you hold firm. You wait until she's just meters away - then BAM! Magic Sting to the belly. The air is driven out of her in one blow, and she tumbles mid-dive, landing in the cloud beside you and skidding, driving up a miniature tsunami of water vapour as she goes.
This is your chance. Flinging a quick low-level Lust spell at her, you slither across and pounce, wrapping your four tentacles firmly around her body. She's an unusually large specimen, not much shorter than an average human (except with giant feathery wings, obviously). Thinking quickly, you use one appendage to pin her feebly beating wings to her back, then trace another down across her navel.
She seems to sense your intentions and struggles more fiercely, but it's no help; your purple member winds its way across her lower abdomen, tickling her as it goes, before coming to rest just above her tight slit. The Lust spell you shot her with seems to be taking effect; the faintest drops of bodily juice surround her cunt, tempting you to rub it firmly, drawing up more of the liquid treasure and subsequent reluctant moans.
You decide to put your other tentacles to good use as well. With one still pinning her wings and arms to her side, another runs between her exposed breasts. Her nipples stand on end - is it the cold or your attentions? - so you decide to tease them, running daintily over them with the tip of a throbbing tactile member. This elicits more pleasing moans, yet the breasts themselves are oddly smooth and rounded for a Harpy - it's too hard not to take advantage! You coil around them, squeezing them tenderly, softly, firmly.
Your fourth and final tentacle, meanwhile, hovers in front of her face, waving through the air like a cobra. She sees it and keeps her mouth firmly shut - promptly you to run its length down her face regardless, tracing the lengths of her cheekbones. She turns away in protest, before you seize your opportunity - down below her cunt is dripping in earnest, juices oozing out and falling into the cloud. You finally enter her, forcefully at first, drawing her short sharp gasp instead of a moan. Her mouth popping open is all the invitation you needed; the purple coil up there darts in, stuffing her mouth and beginning to pump in earnest.
The Harpy orgasms very quickly, vagina clamping tightly around you as you thrust away inside her. Her eyes roll back into her head and shut as you continue to have you way with her, massaging her breasts whilst pounding delightfully inside two other orifices. The length of yourself taking her down below grows slick with a mixture of liquids - both yours and the Harpy's - and its speed redoubles, taking her roughly, no grace or subtlety at all. Despite climaxing already the Harpy continues to moan past the gigantic purple dick in her mouth, her tongue dancing all down its length, shlurping away feverishly.
It's this smooth delight that brings you to completion in her mouth first, growing rock solid before filling it with a blast of your sticky seed. Her eyes go wide before she begins swallowing it down eagerly; meanwhile her second plugged orifice finally yields to you, and a wave of warm liquid flows all the way up in to her womb. Satiated, you pull out of her with a wet plop at both ends, and she giggles, once - before fainting.
Excellent! Your juices are pooling out of her cunt and mouth, so you slide back inside them rapidly and begin the infestation process. With your new found size it's a bit trickier than you remember, but you have a good go - one slick tentacle runs into her mouth and down her throat whilst the other enters once more into her loosened pussy and pushes up as far as it can reach, rubbing up against her womb. Your other two wet appendages you run across the back of her wings, one on each, until you're ready.
It seems to work; you're directly in control of her brain and body, at least. You give the wings a little test flap - everything seems to be in order there. Satisfied, you fly off the misty ground, wings straining hard against the extra weight they now carry. It doesn't take you long to gain height and see... not much. The cloud layer below really is expansive, and for all its little ridges and dips it's really not that interesting.
But what's this over there? A hole? You swoop down for a closer look, and see that the cloud isn't quite ubiquitous; there's a big gap here, large enough to drop a small building through. Below you can see glimmers of green and a trail of blue - a jungle perhaps? And now you've seen this one, others become more apparent - one hole there leading to something deepest blue and expansive, another open above what looks like a frozen mountain... with faintest specks of silver moving around on it...
A caw alerts you to the presence of another Harpy. She's somewhat distant, and hopefully hasn't noticed your rather obvious blue and purple tendrils sticking out of this body yet. As you watch, she dives towards one of the holes. As she enters it - whoa. Huge spikes (teeth?) come shearing out of the cloud around the hole, catching her mid-drop and impaling her neatly. In utter silence the spikes retreat, re-sheathing themselves in the cloud and the Harpy vanishes with them. If you didn't know better you'd swear you could hear the faint sounds of digestion.
Somewhat perturbed, your heightened position lets you catch sight of something else interesting; a dark grey smudge on the horizon. You approach, and it begins to loom out of the fog quickly. It's a tower, and at first you think it to be made of marble, but closer inspection shows it's made of cloud - just a much deeper, denser black cloud than the surrounding monochrome wash.
From a distance your Aura Detect lets you see the faintest of glimmers at the bottom and the top of the tower. If the prisoners Black's after are here, they'll be in one of those two places.
You alight rather heavily on the roof of the tower, sending up a small wave of wave of vapour around you as you land. You uncouple yourself from the unconscious Harpy, leaving her oozing out your odorous seed onto the surrounding platform. From her on the roof you notice stairs, leading down in a circular way. You approach, descending the first couple, and find yourself on the topmost floor of the tower. Your aura sense kicks in, and you look up - to see a truly gigantic nest of Harpies roosting on the ceiling, hanging there like bats. They're all asleep for now...

This is to help me keep track. I've been doing everything from memory so far 'cause notes are for wusses.
Dimensional Nexus: An enclosed amphitheater with an abundance of people and Archcrystals to link to other dimensions.
Blue Archcrystal: Water Dimension. Something stirring in the deeps, but you have already released the central mountain from the control of the Necrofish.

White Archcrystal: Ice Dimension. Leads to a snow-encrusted mountain. Currently under the control of an army of metal men that you unleashed.

Stone-Grey Archcrystal: Unknown
Pale Blue Archcrystal: Cloud Dimension. A vast, barren, empty waste sandwhiched between two layers of cloud. Structures are few and far between, but there are many openings to different worlds below.
Dirty-Yellow Archcrystal: Sand Dimension.

Weird, I totally didn't see that last paragraph. I thought we were still up in the air after spotting the tower. ;>_>
Hmmm... My suggestion is to move on from the harpies with Stealth working full blast and locate some one we can talk to. If how ever the harpies start stirring then hit them with a Lust Aura and have fun!
Do you want all the ones we have currently unlocked? Because going by Still available section we have quite a few not in that list.
Levitate I
Stealth I
Swim I
Body Shock I
Tentacle Arts I
We had Aura Detect II.V for a while. I dunno if you want to list that or not.
Also, we should probably be prepared for Black's sudden but inevitable betrayal. Apparently they're good corruptors? Perhaps he's not quite as cunning a cunt as Bluey was, but keep it in mind.
If we find any wizzadly types, let's ask them about yon Mournful Orb, and whether or not there's anything that could counteract such a thing.
Yes I thought we would regain energy too, not life until we get tentacle arts II, unless harpies don't give much and we used what we gained on those 2 spells. And thanks for adding the new lists. Although I think you forgot the woman we rescued from the ice dimension. Elene
As for My vote. We should eventually go back through the hole into the jungle to turn the tables on him. But first we have to recover and learn what those teeth we and a way past them ( Does this mean were on top of some kind of giant cloud being). So in the meantime we might as well finish what we were sent here for. So for now proceed as stealthily and quietly as possible through the room. If we reach the prisoners we should talk to them before freeing them, hopefully win them over and don't tell them we were sent by Black.
If we had more energy right now I'd vote for Stealth II also.
Hm, it seems actual numbered options encourage more voting. That's interesting to know for the future.
Anyway, Sneaky Sneaky Tentacle!

You reflect for a minute on what would be the best course of action. There's an awful lot of sleeping Harpies hanging from the ceiling, and you're not really at your full power... it'd be best to just slip past them.
Utilising your somewhat rudimentary Stealth I skills, you press yourself up against the inner wall of the Tower, its cool water vapour feeling very odd against your slick body. A cloak of darkness falls over you, muting your bright purple and blue colours at least little. It's not much, but it's better than dancing down the stairs singing loudly.
Ignoring the snoozing Harpies, you proceed down to the next floor of the tower, and find it full of scrap. It looks like various odds and sods, pieces of rubbish the Harpies have picked up over time and dumped here. You scan through it quickly looking for anything useful; some rusted suits of armor, a dull magical ring (of no use to you), rusted weaponry, some dim feathers, all heaped up in an ungainly pile. With nothing there of benefit to you, you press on.
The next floor is (or at least appears to be) completely empty. Just a round, dark room, water vapour swirling and mixing on all the walls, the tiniest of tiny windows letting in a meager beam of light. Yet you feel... a presence? No. Human superstitions have no power over you. Nothing here. Move on.
The last room, near the base of the tower is the most interesting of all. As you stick your head into it, you immediately notice figures patrolling. Humanoid - maybe actual humans - dressed in thick plate armor, large horned helmets completely covering their heads. There's a pair of them, one carrying a long, slender, silver sword, the other a thick, black iron mace. Each is verging on seven foot tall.
Behind the two pacing guards is a row of cells, containing prisoners... that you distinctly recognise. Just a second - that's the encampment leader you met in the Ice Dimension! Right before the swarm of... Harpies... descended, you slew their King and died yourself, only to return and find no trace of them.
Meera! That's the name of the leader. She's looking battered and bruised, her thick furs all tarnished and stained. She's been chained to the wall (some clever magic) as have all the few other soldiers you saw fighting with her in the battle.
You wait until the two armored guards are facing away from you, then sprint across the corridor and through the water-vapor bars of their cell. Meera finally notices you as you slide your way in; her friends continue staring morosely at the floor or walls.
"Well, if it isn't the Harpy King Slayer himself," she whispers. "You look a bit bigger than last time."
"Been busy," you mentally whisper back. "How can I get you out of here?"
"I think the guards have enchanted weapons," she replies. "They could probably cut through the bars... but how you'd stop them then slicing into us, I don't know. Second idea; I can detect a very faint aura coming from below this tower. You see that trapdoor over there, at the end of the corridor? I'm speculating here, but I think beneath it there's a magical lodestone, and its energy is holding all this water vapor in place. If you could destroy that... but I bet it's got serious protection."
----
Option 1) Start waving your tentacles around wildly, abandoning stealth and encouraging the guards to try and hit you through the cell. Hopefully they'll be tricked into breaking the cell... and won't immediately slice through you after.
Option 2) Break back out of the cell, and try and get down the trapdoor without being noticed. Hope that you can cope with its protection in your weakened state.
Option 3) Leave the tower, scoot across the cloud plain and jump down the first hole you find. Freedom!

2 Just noticed it said the stone has a lot of energy so maybe we can absorb it. Although I'm not sure i fully understand what destroying it would do. Would destroying it release the whole tower or the vapor in the room above us, meaning we'd have to deal with whatever presence was up there.
