Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Intriguing Field notes 1 by Richard Morrow

In my adventures through this empty wasteland, ive witnessed several unusual events.

It should first be noted that the land is as empty and quiet as ever, the few women i have seen are quiet and timid, trying to avoid contact with everyone, including myself.

I was able to catch up to one of them and i observed her habits from a close position.

- The woman appeared to do a heavy amount of scavenging, breaking into abandoned houses and hoping to find something useful such as clothing or a weapon.

- The lack of available food quickly becomes a problem for these women, as the most available sustenance is tentacle semen, these women tend to eventually submit in one way or another, after days of unsuccessful scavenging for real food, this woman started to give up.

- The woman i witnessed became frustrated and lonely, she started to actively start searching for tentacles so that she may feed on them, over time, she started to become addicted to their semen and thus, were drawn to the tentacles even more.

- I followed the woman to a nearby lair, where she willingly entered and presumably was taken captive.

This pattern is normal for women who have escaped captivity, and it allows the tentacles to relax their need for representation outside of their own lairs, knowing that this mild migration will always bring in fresh faces, even if old ones somehow escape.

When observing the tentacles, it is easy to view the vast majority of the creatures outside of their respective lairs as nothing but sentries.

The Tentacle creatures are often small and look relatively harmless, but their appearance can be deceiving as their strength and speed is unbelievable when prey is closeby.

In witnessing a pink tentacle ambush a young scavenger in town, the creature picked up her scent right as it entered town and changed its docile behavior into a more aggressive and predatory type.

The Creature dashed up to the woman from behind and knocked her to the ground with its power, she struggled mightily to get the creature off of her, but the tentacle instinctively started to coil it's long tentacles around her appendages and make it difficult to struggle, where she was adequately subdued, the creature inserted one of its tentacles into her vaginal orifice. and the shift in power was immediately noticeable.

Tentacles which enter women become increasingly powerful and energetic as they drain the energy of their victim's quickly, even if the woman was at full strength, the increased strength of her assailant would have made escape at that point impossible.

The tentacle creature continued to thrust inside of her, each thrust drawing more energy from the woman as her pathetic efforts to struggle were quickly made entirely futile.

When the creature finished, it sprayed its semen into the woman, a deluge of fresh semen escaped from her body after being sprayed and splattered the ground beneath them, coating her legs with the fluid as she let out a scream and passed out where she laid.

The creature from that point simply dismounted her and wandered off back into the wilds, carrying with it a renewed vigor from its feast.

One can only imagine what the inside of a tentacle lair would be like, an endlessly orgy for the women and an endless buffet for the tentacles, tentacles grow more powerful with each victim they take, and with all of the women who are presumed to be captive inside of the lairs across this land, there are bound to be unbelievable gigantic tentacle creatures inside of some of these lairs.

As a scientist, my interest may overrule my better judgement in regards to exploring such a place.

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Yeah but if we kill them instantly how could we find the way ? I don't think that the character can trust either in fate, fortune or gods so ... The only options are a hard dangerous path try to kill tentacles without weapon or to torture these "girls".

Forgetting of course that Ella is completely naked and armed with a candle stick that magically turn into a warhammer (God knows how long it'll last, literally), if Zoey takes her to the overlord then what?
More getting over powered and egged?

Only thing to do is kill the monsters with this tempory power and then go back to gathering equipment, hopefully making better choices so Ella can put up a fight before getting raped.

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

I honestly don't know HOW you can even consider *not* slaying two tentacle princesses (i.e. the right hand of a TENTACLE OVERLORD) while playing a veteran tentacle hunter. I don't even...! :jackiechanface:

Spoiler

Two "bitch-queens" aren't evil?

...One is a sadistic, cruel bitch with a whip (forced impregnation anyone?), the other simply says that we "must simply be taken once and for all". Followed by a tempting offer of being a mindless vegetable ravaged by tentacles for ages. Just like our mother they captured. They're just misguided, I'm sure.

Negotiation?

You want to negotiate with two, brainwashed and insane... well "traitors" to humankind? Even Zoey (and she isn't a fully assimilated quasi-tentacle being like the princesses) is so fucked up that sees tentacles as masters and saviors of humankind. What would you hope to negotiate? A cup of tea perhaps? Some cookies? Would you like some tentacle semen with that?
And once again. Tentacle slayer! Hopebringer! Something rings a bell here?

We have a weapon (finally!) that gives us the edge. And who said that the hammer is to kill the corruption and killing two (*corrupted* to the point they are no longer humans) princesses will make it unuseable? For all we know it may be time restricted, zone restricted or even the length-of-our-hair restricted. And there's no definitive proof that it's holy either (as if other supernatural beings couldn't conjure some light and shine instead of the usual fire and brimstone in order to deceive someone - just a thought).

Rachel and Sarah want us either dead or worse (one would mindrape us, the other torment to oblivion), they said that on numerous occasions, giving us no real "choice" on the matter.

Leaving them behind would accomplish that one of them could return to her Overlord (we can't be at two places simultaneously) and reinforce/prepare for an attack. Or maybe the two of them would just wait for the temporary power to pass and we'd be fucked once again.
Worst case scenario is that the power subsides in the lair or before it. Then we're alone, defenseless, weaponless with a junkie tentacle lover, two angry crazed bitches breathing on our necks and a horde of tentacles before us. Grrreat!

Beside, how *hard* would be to find a tentacle lair these days? They are practically rulers of these lands so the times that they needed to hide are long past; just go towards the way the slimey bastards are coming from! And even if they hide from their brethren we. Are. A. Hunter. Of. Tentacles. (can't stress that enough). We hunt and kill them. We should be the predator here for god's sake, or at least *act* like one! And suddenly you want to NEGOTIATE! (...Let me remember that fiasco with Olivia *shudders*).

And killing them? We take two queens and a few pawns from ours opponent's chessboard, gain some breathing room and actually *do* something that matters in the great scheme of things.
Besides, beating them to unconsciousness (while stunning Zoey for that matter - don't let the bitch run away) and interrogating them afterwards shouldn't be to hard. I get that non lethal attacks are generally harder to execute, but hell - we have three chances here. Sarah, Rachel, Zoey. Someone ought to live through it.

Let me once more reinforce my vote:

B. Generally - Kill the bitches (ALL of them). But as I wrote, we could try to stun some of them in order to interrogate.

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Not to attempt to sway the vote one way or another, but Sarah's desire to kill Ella has been suppressed by the wishes of her overlord, Sarah only wants to kill Ella because she knows that if she doesnt, it is likely that she would come after her overlord.

The tentacles have never killed a woman (on purpose anyway), and although Ella has killed hundreds of them, they still would rather bring her in treat her like any other slave.

Sarah and Rachel are humans, just like you, they have been corrupted and changed by their connection to the tentacles, but they are very similar to you, except they have difference views of how the world should be.

Hunting and killing tentacles is a just cause, as it would help to free the enslaved women of the world and try to restore humanities freedom, however, make no mistake, Option B is murder.

Ella has been merciless and unforgiving to the tentacles, as she should be, but choosing option B arguably makes her a bigger monster than the tentacles.


Zoey is a victim, someone who has been used and abused by tentacles for most of her life. she didnt choose to be where she is, she was taken against her will and forced to ensure the pregnancy and birth of thousands of tentacles, although there is justification for killing Sarah and Rachel, there is none for killing Zoey, as she represents what is likely the same type of person you are trying to rescue in your mission to annihilate all of the tentacles. confused, misguided, helpless.

Either way, Zoey's story runs in parallel to Ella's, each woman is differant, has differant views on how the world should be and have differant methods of achieving that goal, there would be no option to kill zoey, especially this early in the story, but whatever choice you make now will surely has an impact on her as she continues on.

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Wait there Serifyn. Kill them will turn her in a worse monster? Im ok to heard than kill both will be a murder, but is more as auto defense for the future. If she had killed overlords before, then she also has faced princess and these mindbreak girls would give their lives happily to protect the tentacles.

Tentacles kill tentacles, humans kill humans even in critical moments, our character is not a paladin, she is an experimented survivor than do what she need to stay alive. Now, Zoey see the tentacles as nearly like humans, but tentacles use women as limited resources, even blue tentacles do this. I dont see why we will turn her in a monster by kill two foes than will backstab us in any moment or accept the help of someone who just some minutes ago make us fall in a trap. Maybe thats why our girl is a lone wolf, her many hunts had show her than humans under tentacle influences are dangerous, so i see "A" like a HUGE mistake for someone with her experience, C is even a better choice, at least this will make Zoey understand her big mistake and see you as someone than can forgive her foes, but is smart enough to dont fall twice with the same rock. Of course than "A" looks to be like what any hero will do, but our character is not that and that option will make her fall in a BIG trap with all and the signal post, then what? Zoey could feel bad for you and try to be your friend as you are raped without rest?

Sorry to continue this a little longer Serifyn, but it just look than some of us just changed their mind when you posted and write the words "monster" and "murder"

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Nobody choses who they become, you don't chose who births you, where you are born or what life throws at you, but you are still going to have to face the consequences of what you are.

It isn't "they didn't chose to be evil (or in Zoey's case "she's a victim") but it's "is saving them an option" and the answer at this point is a resounding NO.

While you might pity a victim becoming a perpetrator, make no mistake that they're dangerous and ultimately evil. For example, no matter how abused a mother is, it's never an excuse to let her destroy her children.

And lets face it, apparently the enemy here is evil and demonic enough for us to receive help from the heavens, they didn't give us a holy tazer to incapacitate, they gave us a damn blunt weapon, the cruelest category of weapon (in regular use blunt weapons focus on mutilation and breaking the victims limbs and concussing internal organs, a slow painful death ensues)

Will killing them make us a monster? They are the creatures that damn near destroyed the human race (if they haven't already) killing most of the males (millions?) and no matter what logic you wield, they've committed enough crimes and are significantly dangerous that the death penalty is the only option. It's not as if we'd kill them out of spite or take pleasure in doing so, but let's face it, our goal is to stop getting raped and here we have two of the strongest entities around, one torturing you not too long ago and the other boasting about ruining your mother (remember why we started this whole thing, running from the home so the tentacles wouldn't be doing just that?), yea, removing the threat of these princesses and preventing them from raping and ruining anyone again sounds perfectly monstrous...

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

i really didn't mean to sway the vote one way or another by interjecting words such as 'monster' and 'murder' into my arguement.

Obviously as the one who is writing the story, my inclusion of these words may be some indication of how i will choose to view Ella as a character going forward should the decision be made to deal with your human enemies in such a way.

In truth i had a difficult decision in including the choice of being able to kill Rachel and Sarah at all, believing that our character would automatically morally reject the killing of another human, even if she is her enemy, but the more i thought about it, the more i realized that it wasn't my decision to make, but the voters, and that not including such a choice given the situation Ella is now it wouldn't be realistic to simply allow these enemies to walk away in shame.

In short, don't allow my opinion to change your vote, if you feel as through bloody justice is necessary, i will write it, and you, the audience, will as always witness the consequences.

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Spoiler

I think the problem for me is that I simply cannot understand A even being an option given the character's history, I see this as me apparently not understanding the character properly and thus ask for more information regarding this option ;p

Basically what I don't understand is:

Why does she see the princesses as "humans" at this point, and even if she does see them as humans, humans killing humans is nothing new and I can't imagine what they could do to Ella that would make her see them as enemies that need to be permanently taken out of the picture if she doesn't already.

If there was some way to be safe from the princesses in the future then that would be the option I'd prefer, and the only option that guarantees the characters apparent goal (to not be raped) is to kill the princesses at this point. I'd walk away if that didn't pretty much guarantee the princesses would chase, trap and rape us further down the line.

From the characters perspective, how is trusting Zoey even an option, she has no apparent ego and is willing to sacrifice herself for her masters, there is absolutely no reason to go along with her whatsoever.

I try to make my desicions based on the character's traits, hating tentacles and being faced with a strong leadership figure of the tentacles and traitor to her own race not sparking that hatred seems unnatural and I'd love some sort of explanations as to why (what seems to me) the character is contradicting her own nature.

She's also a loner, why is taking Zoey with you an option?

I can only imagine the egg and the addiction somewhat addling her mind at this point, but if she's truly so far gone as to submit to being taken to an overlords lair in her current state it'd be safe to say the story is going toward a dead end.

I try to imagine what will happen after choice A, and how she could possibly escape from what will inevitably happen after entering an overlords lair armed with a candlestick, no armor, and so mentally addled as to accept choice A as a viable option.

Keep in mind that the writer was already cornered enough by how things were going that the only way for the character to escape this time was by a very literal Deus Ex Machina (holy hammer out of nowhere, for no apparent reason, for a character with no known holy affinity up to this point)

All that said, regardless of the outcome I can't wait to see what happens, though if option A will be the one to go with then it will probably be more of an analysis of the writer than an actual appreciation of the story (the character behaving so far out of character for as far as I'm personally concerned that the continuity is ruined, again, this pertains to my personal interpretation of the character only)

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Zoey is offering her help in exchange for mercy, she wont (and wouldn't) join your group as a permanent member (As Xozz or Olivia joined you in Overlord), because your beliefs are in direct contrast to her own.

The fact that Ella is a 'Loner' only means that she prefers to not have to watch anyone's back. Being that Zoey would be leading you to her lair, she would have no fear of being ambushed or attacked by tentacles because they are her allies.

Ella was going to get help from a divine source eventually anyway, as long as she avoided accepting surrender, i decided that because she was in church it made the most sense to introduce the divine power when she was both in trouble and when she was in a place where it would make sense for it to appear for the first time.

B. Generally - Kill the bitches (ALL of them). But as I wrote, we could try to stun some of them in order to interrogate.

It was my first vote, my "D". I didn't need all your arguments ^_^ But I was more violent than you 'cause I didn't want just to "stun them", lol.

So ... Serifyn : if we vote "D" again and we indicate "toture theme and let them alive". Is that ok ?

 

[censuur]

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

That might make sense from the writer's perspective, but the last time Elle interacted with Zoey she got sprung by two princesses, I don't think she will assume that the tentacles will leave her alone just because one of their slaves is leading her to their lair. and even if she makes the trip, what will she do once she gets there? the hammer might work on the princesses, but you've already established blunt weapons are not that great against tentacles and this divinity is hardly reliable.

I guess the main question for me is "Why would Elle want to go to the lair in her current condition in the first place?"

I'm not saying the holy weapon is bad storytelling, you can easily associate her earlier success with divine providence, but from a readers perspective this thing sort of came out of nowhere (though I recall the "holy" panties in the first game, or where those just a white tentacle item?)

If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion here, it would have made more sense to introduce the element of divine favor in some other way, perhaps an intermission (like a reference to a pre-existing holy relic maybe?) before letting it play such a major and sudden role in the main story.

Also keep in mind that while I might seem critical of the story, this is mostly due to you yourself considering this as a learning experience, I figured you'd learn more from critique than praise (as is usually the case) If I'm mistaken in that assumption just say the word and I'll stop

I understand that, I wrote what I think in general, not exactly specific towards you ^^. But I don't know if you were more violent than me - *I* opt for slicing their throats after interrogation. They're no use for us alive after we obtain what we need

I would elaborate about that murder human/princess but I guess it would turn into another angry rant XD. Basically I agree with most censuur's points, especially about this:

Spoiler

(...)
Why does she see the princesses as "humans" at this point, and even if she does see them as humans, humans killing humans is nothing new and I can't imagine what they could do to Ella that would make her see them as enemies that need to be permanently taken out of the picture if she doesn't already.

(...)
From the characters perspective, how is trusting Zoey even an option, she has no apparent ego and is willing to sacrifice herself for her masters, there is absolutely no reason to go along with her whatsoever.

So I guess I won't repeat myself (as well as censuur's points). But that kind of discussion is a great sign that people care about this CYOA and find it interesting - an I find it great

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

I think I will just have to ask for clarificaton from the author:

1. Zoey willingly submitted to overlord impregnation which to me seems like she is beyond saving?

But more importantly:

2. Zoey led us into a trap, and now we should believe that she wants to help us?

I am sorry, but I do have a problem with that.

If killing the two princesses is going to be a problem, then I am willing to let them live, but we should go find the lair ourselves (i.e. without Zoey) because maybe Zoey will be leading us into another trap.

 

[censuur]

Re: Tentacle Lair Escape: Apocalypse

Well it's already fairly obvious that the choices are essentially:

A: Give up and get raped terribly (she's in no condition to go to a lair, and has never once been in a position where she could afford to give quarter to her enemies, picking this option essentially means she's mentally so far gone she isn't even herself anymore)
B: Resist until the very end (picking this option shows that the character has what it takes to fight, to make the hard choices, and commit the acts necessary to "save" humanity, she will do what she needs to do to "win" no matter how ugly it gets)

Either choice is fine, but don't fool yourself into thinking option A is anything but submission, and option B is continuing on as we were, letting Rachel survive might be plausible, to a point, but leaving black alive after she's tortured you, said time after time that the only thing keeping her from killing you is the black overlord wanting you alive, though apparently changing her mind and simply threatening you with turning you into her personal torture victim, is just.... insane.

*edit*

And for those of you who would argue that killing the black princess would make the black overlord change is mind about wanting us alive, I doubt it would matter, they're either going to fear our new power and want us gone or want to take us to replace the slain princess, as you might recall from the first story the black overlord rather likes women that fight against all odds.

If I might suggest an option E, simply let us kill the black princess as she damn well deserves and threaten the greens to leave us alone, and release our mother

For the first one : Serifyn told us that they never kill the women ... (Actually, that they don't want to kill them )

For the second ... Oh fuck ! I think that we've forgotten our mother. Yeah, what should we do 'bout it ?
