Ask if she's safe to hug.

You said it. Vivian's been hurt too helping me find you. Let's beat up that monkey so the rest of the party can rip in peace and Maddie can leave.

Ahpin: Tell her you're here to get her out of here and take her home.

Maddie: Be overwhelmingly relieved that this whole, horrible misadventure is finally over.

Chuck: Wave to your new mom.

Maddie: tell Ahpin that you feel very guilty for making him worry enough to come down here, and you don't want to leave him to go somewhere dangerous like that again.

Ahpin: Remind her that she defeated a freakin' dragon and, I think became a half god... she's very courageous and, well, you're just glad to have her back.

Offer to take her home. You wont judge. You'll call your sister Uzak to have her wait by the dungeon entrance with some clothes for her and take us to a doctor once you both leave the dungeon

Chuck: You got enough Mana. Now's the time to suddenly become an egg.

Also, no need to fight the primate. We found our gf, we're done here.

Consider telling her you're ace but still want to be with her... You can still be in love with someone but not be so interested in sex. Romance and sex are two different things.

but probably wait until after we leave the dungeon and see the doctor, and when she feels much better.

"Are you alright? I'm just happy to see you're alive."

I don't think right now is the best time to be discussing your doubts about your relationship status, so lets hold that.

Both: Cry with relief and hug.

Also collect magic items in case the troll tries to double toll you.

Maddie slowly sinks to her knees and starts crying. Ahpin hurries over to her side.

“Can I hug you?” he asks. He huffs with surprise when Maddie buries her head in his chest. She’s much heavier than before and he holds her tight while she shakes with sobs.

“You’re okay now,” he says softly. “We’re okay.”

“I didn’t even think that people would come after me.” Maddie whimpers. “You could have been killed too, I’m so stupid.”

“My friend got hurt because I convinced her to come, but I’m fine. I’m just happy you’re alive.”

They cry against each other until Ahpin has a headache and Maddie has wiped snot all over his chest fur. They sniffle in the dim light.

“Are you mama?” Chuck asks abruptly.

Maddie looks up with surprise at the changeling. “Uh, I don’t know? Am I?”

“This is papa.” Chuck tugs on Ahpin’s ear. “You are very strong. I feel safe.”

The changeling closes his eyes and slides to the floor. He curls into a ball, shimmering gold and crimson, and smooths into a perfect egg.

Maddie sits up so Ahpin can put the egg in his pack.

“Are you ready to go?” the cat asks. “I don’t know how the elemental stuff works but Silicon made it sounds like you were okay.”

“I can’t leave.” Maddie pulls away from Ahpin. “I can’t face everyone after I let their friends die. After I failed as an adventurer. I wish you could take the bodies but I’ll bury them here if I have to.”

"Absolutely not. You mean too much to me to let you rot down here. We'll... we'll forge a new life together. You, me, and Chuck, my... adopted son. Did I mention I have a changeling for a son now?

Besides. Carbon is probably going to fuck with me again going up the stairs. If you won't do it for yourself, do it to protect me, please."

"I failed Vivian and Rhine. But if I don't get you out of here then I failed them for nothing.

Come on, we need to get out of here."

Please. If anything, you beat the long odds. Don’t get stuck in a misery loop of guilt, Maddie. Not when you nearly died, too.

If she wants their deaths to have meaning and their kin to have closure, she should return with you and settle those debts and her own guilt. She’d need to. You’re pretty sure you can’t carry two bodies up all the way on your own. Personal trinkets, maybe. The story.

Being a good person - to yourself and others - is hard. It sometimes carries genuine cost. Being miserable is all to easy. But for all the while you’ve known her, she’s never been one for the easy road. And she’s always been good.

Even if you could take the bodies on your own, you don’t want her to sit all alone down here, to brood in misery, perhaps in the future become the target of another group of derring-dos who would not understand her situation and treat her like a denizen to be challenged.

>>1010325
Ahpin: Her staying in this Hellhole is absolutely unacceptable. She had no way at all of knowing what this place was like, what kind of threats were down here, and how unprepared they were. The losses are not on her, and she doesn't deserve to suffer for any of it.

You shouldn't be an adventurer with coping skills this shitty. And if you're not an adventurer, there's no reason to stay down here.

No one's gonna blame you for the deaths incurred in the specially marked death cavern.

They made the choice to come here, their deaths aren't her fault.

“That’s the guilt loop talking.” Ahpin says firmly. “People will understand that it wasn’t your fault and you don’t deserve to suffer alone in this hellhole for the rest of your life. I failed Vivian and Rhine, and I don’t want it to be for nothing.”

“Sunk-cost fallacy.” Maddie sighs and picks at the scales on her arm. “Changing the topic but I don’t think I can do the relationship thing anymore. I need time to process all of this. We should break up.”

“Yes. I agree.” says Ahpin.

Maddie squints at him. “That’s not the reaction I was expecting. You’re supposed to storm off because you’re hurt and leave me alone to my misery.”

Ahpin cracks a wry smile. “I was planning to break up with you the night before you came here, but I chickened out. I’m ace.”

Maddie gapes at him. “This whole time? What? You should have told me! My crew kept trying to rope you into our orgies. Fuck, I’m really sorry that must have been horrible. And I was always trying to have sex with you, and did have sex with you, did I make you uncomfortable?”

Ahpin waves his hand. “You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while.”

“Well, I’m glad you told me, but I’m still not planning to leave.” Maddie insists.

“Okay, how about this. You come with me to the top of the stairs to protect me from Carbon, and then you can decide if you want to keep going.”

Maddie frowns. “Why would Carbon be mad at you? Didn’t you pay the toll?”

“Kind of. Er, we attacked him first.”

“Are you insane?! You’re not even on the level system and Carbon’s strong enough to be a final boss!”

“So you’ll help me?”

Maddie stands with a heavy sigh and extends her silver arm. The metal flows into a massive claw, which she uses to carefully pick up the shrouded bodies.

Ahpin walks up the long staircase, left hand on the wall with Maddie lighting the way. At one point he thinks he sees the glint of diamonds, but nothing comes out of the darkness to stop them.

They reach the top faster than Ahpin expected, and Maddie shoves the mold mat out of the way to reveal the elf colony.

Well, we're here. Look, I know he's not *your* kid, but Chuck here, he feels real safe around you. So...

Carbon's toll was gonna suck no matter what, so we took the slim chance.

Aphin: Make one last attempt to appeal to Maddie. Tell her that even though you think the relationship isn't a good idea right now, that you still love her. Its not good for anyone if she stays down here moping. Its not going to bring her friends back and she needs a healthy environment to heal. You can deliver the news for her to her friends friends/family if she can't handle it but it just isn't right to sit molding in a cave over something like this. You love her and it hurts you to know she's down here.

Maddie: Consider your options

Maddie: Ask what happened to Alphin's party. Then cradle Chuck and think about it.

Maddie: Realize that exiling yourself to some hole in the ground isn't going to make anything better. If you and Ahpin don't do something, people are going to keep coming down here and getting hurt. Action must be taken, an you two are the only candidates.

Ahpin: If appealing to her emotions won't work, try the logical route. Staying in this murder dungeon won't accomplish anything other than making you sad, robbing her other friends of yet another friend, and denying her any chance of growth.

>>1010343
>Carbon’s strong enough to be a final boss
Gee, it would've been nice if ANYONE TOLD US THAT.

Both: consider that you two don't need to have sex together to love each other and be in a relationship.

Aphin: you dove into a highly dangerous dungeon to save Maddie. That's gotta be worth something.

Maddie: you're trying to break up with Aphin, yes, but to keep him safe from the dungeon. That's gotta be worth something. Also, who's gonna be Chuck's Momma?

Maddie blinks in the warm light of the elf orbs. “I guess this is the part where you tell me the elves hate your guts and you need support getting to the next floor.”

“I was thinking more along the lines of asking you to raise Chuck with me. Magical creatures seem pretty cutthroat and he’d appreciate someone who can actually protect him.”

“He’s an egg.” Maddie says.

“Yes, but he’s worth a lot of rollad, the adventurers who helped us in the first level stole an egg earlier. Also I still love and want the best for you and that doesn’t include living in a dank pit with no dick.”

“I do like dick.” Maddie admits. “Despite being traumatized by the death of my friends and everything.”

Ahpin steps into the mana fields and offers a hand to Maddie, who takes it and hauls herself awkwardly out of the hole.

The supervisor on duty immediately shrieks in alarm.

“What is it Brian?” Soliana calls from her row of mold.

“People came back from the third level again.”

“People? Not elementals?”

Brian jogs closer to Maddie, takes one look at her massive metal arm, and turns around.

“I think they’re adventurers who absorbed elemental power.”

“Is that possible? Either way, someone should get Briar. Okay, I’ll go get Briar.”

Soliana sprints away while Maddie and Ahpin stroll past Brian and the other stunned elves.

Ahpin: ask Maddie if she wants you to ask the elves for some clothes. Otherwise, we don't have to stay here.

Hey Briar, seen Vivian?

Briar talk shit about Vivian, be really threatening if he does.

Aphin (we can’t control him rn can we?) be chill and keep taking as you leave, maybe get Maddie some clothes?

Briar: Call out Alphin about Vivian and Rhine leaving as sobbing messes.
Alphin: Retort back that Briar and his village knew that Carbon would demand magic items or mana but let Vivian get screwed.

Maddie and Ahpin: Ignore the knife-eared twats.

“Are you, um, cold at all?” Ahpin asks as they walk through the cluster of shops that surround the moldy cheese.

“Not really, and I don’t get hungry or thirsty either. Instead there’s kind of an attraction towards silver, like I can feel where it is and part of me wants to grab it and make a big pile and sit on it and be awesome.” Maddie replies.

“So no clothes?”

Maddie wrinkles her nose. “Not elf clothes.”

They meet Briar halfway up the slope to the stone pen. The elf is visibly shaken by the sight of Maddie, but turns to address Ahpin instead.

“I see you’re still alive.” Briar says curtly. “Silicon is going soft. Why did you leave Vivian a magicless, crying mess?”

“Why didn’t you tell us Carbon would steal her mana? And where is she?” Ahpin retorts.

“You should have given him one of the changelings, but you have this weird attachment to them.” Briar jerks a thumb to the stairs behind him. “She left a couple hours ago.”

“Have you seen Rhine?”

“I haven’t. You lost him too?” Briar clucks his tongue. “I’m starting to think your so called kids don’t even like you.”

>>1010434
Sucker punch him. Fuck'n elves.

>Vivian left
>Rhine left with her but wasn't seen.

Oh no.

Maybe it's not that bad. But then, Vivian is emotionally broken, and she never saw the Changelings as human...

Maddie: Punch douchebag elf.

Ahpin: Laugh.

>>1010438
Seconded

Don't start a fight. That's what the alarm was for, and there are SO MANY ELVES HERE.

Maddie: Start to loose your temper at the elves

Aphin: Hold her back with your puny arms. You two need to get out, not start a fight.

Nah, no violence. Punchin' fools is for when the fires of outrage is hot, and you're at lukewarm at best.

>Lost him too?
Ahpin: Show him your bag's contents.

"Didn't lose either, loser. Viv's probably got Rhine. My boys're growin' up, see! Couldn't be prouder."

Wipe a theatric tear.

"Any idea when they'll hatch? Imma bribe Maddie with silverware until she agrees to mother 'em for a bit."

Maddie: Find this idea oddly agreeable.

Ahpin: Grow a bit more srs.

"Ooof, had a thought. Might better to try to catch up with Vivian in case she tries using Rhine to restore her magic. Something something risk of eldritch, I seem to recall? Plus, don't want Rhine dead."

>>1010434
The little robot from earlier called Maddie a half god, so she should be really powerful!

Maddie: Consider using your new powers to try and restore Vivian’s lost mana. If she lost her mana while trying to help Ahpin find you, then you kinda feel like you should try to help.

Ahpin takes a deep breath and resists the urge to punch Briar in their smug face since he’d probably get a poison dart for his trouble. To his surprise, Maddie growls low in her throat and pulls back her lips to show her teeth.

“No offense.” Briar says hurriedly. “Your, er, friend just makes interesting decisions.”

“He came all this way to help me so watch your fucking mouth.” Maddie snarls.

Briar gives a tinkling laugh and waves his hand. “My apologies. Anything I can do for you before you depart?”

“Actually yeah.” Ahpin unzips his bag and shows Briar the egg. “I have a couple questions. Do you know how long it takes for eggs to hatch? Also, is there any way to restore Vivian’s mana?”

Briar chews his lip. “Egg business is really Dusty’s area, all I know is that it’ll be a while and if the egg gets cracked or gets exposed to too much foreign mana it’ll become an eldritch. Elves eat mana and slowly produce it overtime, but I’ve heard mortals absorb it through the air in their youth and then use that store for the rest of their lives.”

The elf shrugs. “Mortals are always trying to augment their supply, but they’re just not built for it.”

“Thanks.” says Ahpin, and heads for the spiral staircase.

“Let me guess, you’re hoping I can restore Vivian’s mana?” Maddie asks as they ascend to the first floor.

“Silicon said you were like, a demigod, so maybe it’ll work.” Ahpin says hopefully.

Well it stands to reason that if an elemental can drain mana through a mortal's eyes, then an elemental should be able to put mana back in through the mortal's eyes.

Ahpin: "also, I let a couple changlings take some of my Mana, but I dont need it restored."

Maddie: reminisce the time you and Ahpin first met.

Failing that, maybe we could rip off Carbon's arm and give her sick elemental powers too.

“Now that I’m looking, you don’t have that much mana either.” Maddie says from below Ahpin.

“Oh yeah, the changelings ate it.” Ahpin shrugs. “It doesn’t make a difference to me and I’m not trying to get it restored.”

“It’s not a bad thing, it just makes you look different.”

“I remember you said that’s what caught your attention the first time we met. You thought I had to be a wizard and kept buying me drinks.”

Maddie laughs. “And you didn’t even drink them.”

They emerge into the center of Dusty’s domain. Motes are scattered across the walls and there’s a distant argument coming from the path that leads to the exit.

“Yep, heading out.” Ahpin says.

“Good. Apparently another adventuring party was just sent in after the people who came in yesterday morning. Poor Dusty is real stressed.”

>>1010468

Aphin: Offer to tell the other party that it isn't worth it, but don't commit to anything more.

Maddie: Stay out of sight until the other party is out of the way. You didn't get rescued just to get potentially murked by 'friendly fire'

Ahpin, offer the Chuck egg to Dusty to take care of, ask her to call you when it hatches in the future. Should make up for the egg she lost and prevents Chuck from becoming an eldritch

Maddie hesitates. “What if they see me and freak out?”

Ahpin thinks for a moment. “The hallway’s pretty narrow, so I can walk in front and make sure everything’s cool before you go in.

They set off towards the echoing voices. Ahpin rounds the final bend to see Bob from Nun’ya Business getting wacked in the face by Dusty’s magic feather duster. The other nuns aren’t there, but Rhine is clinging to Dusty’s free arm licking mana off his paws.

>>1010493
Okay this guy you can punch and he definitely deserves it.

Bob say you found Vivian. Dust tell Ahpin how Rhine's doing. Maddie, be unimpressed by Bob.

I'll go with my original suggestion here: >>1010492

Except leave out the eldrich part out, we might offend Bob. Make sure to get Dusty your number to call you when it's hatching time.

Ahpin warn Dusty about Maggie, like you should. Also, inquire about eggs after things calm down.
Dusty be weirded out by Maggie.
Maggie shrug.
Bob be extremely amused by Maggie's plight, and get whacked by Dusty some more.

other nuns: have fled.

Rhine: forgive your pappy.

Rhine: Wonder about how deceptive life is as you harden into an egg.
Vivian: Regret life choices and punch wall.

Oh right, another avenue we could pursue regarding Vivian is sprites. They literally suck out mana through a needle. Inject some back in!

Rhine: it's always been "mana this" and "mana that" since you came of age yeaterday, and frankly you're sick of it. Who wants to be a big dumb egg anyway? Sex is apparently some big deal for dad's people like becoming an egg is for yours, and HE seems to be doing fine without it. Screw all that noise, you're gonna be a changeling forever!

“Where’s Vivian?” Ahpin asks.

“’s okay.” Rhine mutters.

Dusty sniffs. “Rhine will stay here. He isn’t in a hurry to change but I see the other one has turned into an egg, which means he trusts you enough to take care of him. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt one last time.”

“I missed wind. And the smell of plants is really good too.” Ahpin says as a breeze blows through his hair bringing the scent of a grass and dust.

Maddie helps them up to ground level and then heaves herself up to the rocky field on the edge of a full sunset.

“That was really fast.” Amy burps. The shark and chinchilla are sprawled on one of the boulders, a radiant lantern between them. At the sight of Ahpin and Maddie, Vivian jumps to her feet in shock from where she was sitting on the ground.

"I thought you were going to die alone." she sobs against his chest. "But of course you're here and you got your fucking girlfriend and everything's fine but I still don't have my mana and I feel like shit."

Ahpin gently pats Vivian on the back while Bob reports to Amy and Joey.

"We need to report that this dungeon is officially closed to mortals. There's a silicon elemental in there who's over 400 years old and they've been using other metals to build machinery." the eldritch says, surprisingly serious.

"I'll go to the guild office tomorrow." Joey glances at Maddie, who carefully lays her friends' bodies on the ground.

Vivian's lip quivers. "Okay."

How does Maddie transfer mana to Vivian?
-A chaste kiss
-A tight hug
-Vigorous boning

snug

A not-chaste kiss. The symbolism is important.

>>1010699
They gotta bone, Aphin needs to look super uncomfortable one last time.

VIGOROUS Boning

They HAVE to bone, best way to transfer mana. Plus like you HAVE to make it both awkward for Aphin and rewarding for Vivian.

Bone zone? Yes. Also seeing Aphin get hit for being dumb turned her on. She doesen't NEED to do it and only says that after they're done, but she WANTS to do it, y'know, test out the body, etc, reward the lass who helped him out

chaste kiss, you monsters

Vigorous boning

Chaste kiss, the exclusive cat Is watching.

He doesn't own them and I'm not sure he'd care anyway. Fuckin' go to town on her, I assume that's the best way.

Maddie gently pulls Vivian to a soft patch of grass. The women kneel across from each other and Vivian runs her hand through Maddie’s hair.

“10 rollad they start fucking.” Amy whispers to Ahpin.

“What? They’ve never met, I think that’s a little fast to be—“

Maddie kisses Vivian and their bodies glow silver. The kobold puts her hands tentatively on Maddie’s bare chest and squeezes.

“You’re a cute thing.” Maddie breathes, tracing one of Vivian’s horns. The kobold blushes and spreads her legs shyly. Maddie smoothly lowers herself between Vivian’s legs and uses her long tongue to lick along the kobold’s thigh. The glow brightens.

Vivian whimpers and lies back on the grass while Maddie starts eating her out. The dog curls her fingers into Vivian’s wet hole while bumping her clit with her long snout.

Ahpin watches for a moment, then turns away.

“Yup, still ace.” he says to nobody in particular.

How do Maddie and Vivian finish?

Fireworks.

>How do Maddie and Vivian finish?

With a very respectful handshake, and a thank you and you're welcome for Vivian gaining her Mana back.

Silver bullets, chief.

By UZAK Aphin's sister showing up and giving us a retelling of the ending.

by asking Ahpin to join in

Maddie steals Vivian's silver-tinted glasses and stares into her eyes.

Firm handshake and saying no homo.

What's an UZAK? Is that some kind of fish?

The air crackles with energy as Vivian leans back on her hands and lets out a cry. The flames from her mouth explode above her like fireworks, red tinged with bright silver accents.

"I can feel it!" The kobold summons a shower of sparks from her claw tips. "It's a little different, but that's fine, thank you so much!"

Maddie pushes herself to a sitting position and extends her hand. Vivian takes it, slightly confused.

"No homo." the dog says with a wink.

Vivian and Maddie laugh and talk the whole way back to the gate station, where everyone goes their separate ways. Ahpin is content to watch them, though he gives Maddie a pat on her shoulder when it’s time for him to go.

He gently puts his bag on the floor once he gets home, tucks Chuck into a cardboard box lined with pillows and blankets, and enjoys an order of takeout while stretching his sore feet.

Nothing can ruin this evening, which is the cue for Ahpin's phone to buzz.

There are several messages from Cepha, asking why he's missing from work, a reply from Eldoon, and at the top, a text from his dad.

Dad: Can you check on your little sister? I haven't heard from her in a while.
