Re: Bad Luck Succubi
4A vs 4C..

C!
While as you felt like continuing through the tech path would've been a right thing to do.. as you want to finish this place.. The portal ball was just too damn tempting.
You had to touch it..! You went closer to it and closer..!
The ball shined more and more..! as you touched it a bright flash blinded you for a while!
...
...
After a while you woke up at a familiar place, right on your feet too, seems like you just landed on your feet from a travel.
You were back at the portal yard of the hell dimension, with your staff.. naked.. Just like you were from before.
The old demon was there too.
"Oh, back so soon? .. Oh wait, that ball above your head.. Temporarely, need restocking dontcha? tsk tsk.. I do see.. going around naked can be bit frowned on in other dimension indeed. Even here a little bit though not many care that much about it. tehehe."
You quickly covered yourself a bit.. and kinda got back to yourself.
You looked above yourself.. Yep a little glowy ball was above your head. Looking around you, your little plant girl friend wasn't here..
"Uhhhh.. Yeah, I guess? I'm just still so new to this so I uhh.. Care to..?"
"yeah I can guess you are.. So ahem." The old demon corrected itself again a bit.
"What you're currently experiencing above your head is a temporary return. You see in other worlds, the travelers can sometimes run into these small tiny ball portals. They allow travels to return to their home dimension, which is whatever they consider their home to be. But only for a short while. Usualy about 2 hours or so. Sometimes less, sometimes more.. Usualy young adventurers such as you take these moments to restock themselves a bit. "
The old demon seemed to go back down a bit.
"Yep yep.. That how it goes.. Back in the day those ball portals were for the big generals to use.. any small fry using them would've gotten capital punishment.. ah well. Nice tentacle staff by the way, would've fit the schoolgirl style if you still had that.."
"...Uhhh, thanks?"
"Also I have to add in some news that happened while you were gone so you won't make a foiled trip if you're after books.."
You started to feel bit unnerved.
"The library here seemed to have burned down."
..Yep you started feel real nervous now.
"..I-is that so?" *gulp*
"Yeah. Really unfortunate. At first they thought it might've been a sabotage by some succubi that visited it earlier. But then they found something inside the place.. All the glass apart from one window had exploded outside, so why was there glass inside from one window if someone would've left a candle or something there? So the great investigator ruled it as an accident. They suspect a fiery brimstone must've hit through one of the windows."
You suddenly felt really, really reliefed.
".. Oh. T-that truly is unfortunate, yeah..."
"Yep, so much history down the drain right there. And the baron just thinks it's good they don't need to build a new room for his planned spa. Such disrespect I tell you.. They should've cleaned the damn library ages ago but noooo. This was just waiting to happen. Damn whippersnapper."
You just polited nodded to this old demons rambling.
But maybe you shouldn't stay here to chatter too long if your time back here is limited.
Still a good thing you're no longer suspected about the library's burn down. Atleast you got lucky once!
But now what?
A) Go to the fortress!
--1 Go in the main hall
--2 Go in the secretary's office
--3 Go to the succubi living quarters
--4 Somewhere else in the fortress?
B) Take the small portal.
--1. Return to the rocky fields.
--2. Return to the lake.
C) Do an U-turn and go back to the tentacle world.
D) Other?
