This is the perfect place for this to become the rape boat.

Reminds me of a caravan.

I bet Jehral surprised everyone by not getting seasick!

How's the voyage?

Ask Tura if she wants to double team Jehral with you

>>182105
she isn't even up to one on one, double teaming is going to fast.

It's good to see you have your sea legs, hows everyone else faring?

Feels good eh?

Please don't tell me you're dangling Jehral off the edge.

>>182103


That could be, There is a difference between regular motion sickness and the super spin cycle Rynh put him through.

If you toss the amulet into the sea, it might delay the end of the world by decades, or even centuries.. Especially if you were to wrap it around a hunk of meat and let the preds gobble it up.

Jerahl would understand. its for the sake of the world!

>>182211
Or it could leave it completely unprotected for some evil force to find.

I probably still be alive in decades and maybe even centuries if I don't get myself killed. Having the world explode out from under my feet someday doesn't sound like fun. Although, most evil forces just take over a few countries at most. It would probably be fi- HOLY SHIT!

You can tell that she got splashed in the image :V

But yeah Rynh, go get a towel or some dry clothes. Lounging around all sopping wet can't be good for your health!

Rynh shoots fire, wyverns do not.

Blow a puff of fire to get the wyvern's attention. Maybe you can ask it stuff. Probably not, though.

>Lounging around all sopping wet can't be good for your health!
She could use some sun anyway.

If the fire-breath idea doesn't work, strip down and sunbathe so you that when pirates attack, you have to fight in your underwear.

I think I'll just sit here and bake in the sun a bit.

Tura seems to be enjoying this a bit more than me, but then she didn't get soaked in the face by a giant lizard.

"You don't look like you're having a good time, but I guess not everyone can have the same natural affinity with the sea that I do. Cheer up and relax, we'll be there soon enough."

...Pull off her towel purely to get her to stop acting all smug AND NO OTHER REASONS.

"whatever you say, boobies"

>>182307
Dem tities.
Sitting around in wet clothes is very bad, you might get a yeast infection. Get changed, possibly a bathing suit if Tura has any extras. You know, in case you get splashed again.

Kick her in the vagina.

>>182308
Well Rynh also needs a towel to dry off on. Remember to thank Tura for being so kind to come with one for you.

Strip off your wet clothes and lay them out to dry. There aren't many passengers, and apparently none topside, so there's not going to be much embarrassment. Plus you're pretending to be a confident warrior type now, so you don't give a fuck.

When Tura makes a snide remark, yank away her towel and use it to dry off.

If she gives you any lip, say "Fuck you. I'm a dragon," and loom intimidatingly.

>>182316
This.

>>182316
Very this.

>>182316
Oh this one is too good to miss. DO IT!

then, regardless of if she backs down or not say 'just kidding' cause pissing off the person who just gave you a free ride is just asking for it.

>>182327

No, saying "just kidding" after you used someone's only loincloth as a towel is asking for it.

Technically everyone keeps offering Rynh free rides because she counts as an armed escort. She's a big, armed and dangerous mercenary that breathes fire.

So I'm thinking maybe she could start acting like it.

(Tura's probably wearing something under that anyway, so let's not start that argument.)

Rynh is just sad that she can't fly.

>>182316
The problem I see here is that I'm pretty sure that's not a towel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarong

But I agree with the first part of that, anyway.

Take off that gear and improvise something more suiting for this heat, also dry.

Look at her cute bikini, I bet you wish you had a pair of breasts to show off like that don't you?
Too bad~

>>182372

Rynh Could always learn Time Magic to go into the future and have a surgery to get boobs.

Seriously though Rynh, change out of those wet clothes, that's not healthy. You have that feminine spare set if you prefer not to be nude.

>>182400
yes, "the head voices say they know what happened on your first boat ride"

>>182307
Tell Tura we know she's full of shit and vomited most of her first sea voyage.

You know, you look very manly from this angle.

No offence.

>>182812

Looks like she is about to get on her goblin rape face. You had better get out of there quickly Rynh.

Sprout wings and fly!

Grope her tits, you know you want to.

>>182787
She is sufficiently cowed. Ask her for a towel or something.

>>182828
Seconding this.

"May I have a towel?"

>>182828
Yeah let's go with that.

Say "Tura, I guess you're new at this whole merchant thing, but a child could tell you not to mock your underpaid mercenaries. I'm here for free because I'm in a hurry. That doesn't mean I'm your sidekick."

>lick her
Nah. Maybe seduce her if tall girls with spines is her thing, though. Give it half an hour, then approach with kinder words, etc. Work it in to the travel montage.

"I. Need. A towel."

>>182787
Dry your hair with her skirt/sarong/wrap

Give Boobi- I mean Tura a nice wet hug to show her how you're still friends.

>>182787

Begin to playfully wrestle with her. Enter Jehral on two half naked, wet girls wrestling. Instant Jehral brain blue screen.

Earswordchucks.

Learning a new weapon is silly at this point. We're also encouraging Rynh to learn magic, which is potentially way more useful.

How's that going for you by the way Rynh? You dont get motion-sick reading while the ship bobs, do you?

>>184123
She's a mercenary. she needs to get good with something.
Jehral makes a fitting rogue.
Rynh would make an excellent fighter... not a tank though... So she should specialize with weapons giving her reach. Knives aren't helpful with that size and notability.

On that note, magic yes. But using weapons are her (or were her) bread and butter, so she should ensure she can keep her skills in shape.

>>184126
This is true. I still doubt that ear blades or swordchucks are going to help out when Rynh reaches the point that she's got God and Dragons as her peers.

It looks like we're coming up on land, finally.
Now that we're half way to where we're going and probably free of anyone following, I have a choice of spending time here trying to get some Elven magic or weapon training or just heading straight out. I'll probably have to work off any expenses, since I don't have a huge amount of money.

>>184213
well, we assume you've been reading on the ship.

Let's see you demonstrate some basics on land.

>>184213
Did you bring Jehral? You better have brought Jehral. If you did, you don't have time for training unless he'd like to join you.

Yeah, where's Noseface?

>>184219
bad
Not that kind of training...

>>184234
Get your mind out of the gutter, I meant it'd be unfair to make him wait while Ryhn honed her skills.

Though I totally meant that kind as well.

An entire trip at sea and no pirates, no whirlpools, no shipwrecks, no ghost pirates, and no storms? Creepy...

Anyway yeah, your first priority is job hunting. Once you have enough cash squared away you can get a roof over your head. As usual when moving anywhere, start out cheap, and move to less cheap. I would recommend spending some time finding who is going the same way you need to go, so you can accompany them and possibly have a wagon to sleep in.

>>184213
Is Jehral okay with you getting training? I'm not sure how he'd react to waiting around town doing mostly nothing.

If he's okay with it and finds something to do, then by all means get some magic training.

The elves are known for their magic and swordsmanship. They're also know for being insufferable asses, but sticking around a while to at least try to learn something might be good.

>Is Jehral okay with you getting training? I'm not sure how he'd react to waiting around town doing mostly nothing.

I'm sure he'll be fine. Apparently, he's "adorable". Oh well, it should only be a matter of time before the elven guys start swarming me...

God damn it.

>>184381

>>184381
Well, bet he doesn't regret coming with you now.

>>184381
Whatever you do don't breathe fire out of rage that would be a bad idea in a forest setting.

>>184381

"Having FUN?"

Make sure that line is DRIPPING with hostility.

Don't worry, the head voices will always be there to ask you to get naked for them.

>>184381
Clearly, you must take Jehral as your mate and claim him right there.

[Secretly give Rynh urges to have wild passionate sex with Jehral]

Feeling jealous? Don't bother him. Let him have his fun. It's only fair. You've got your own brand of beauty. You're badass and stylish; it won't get people fawning over your cuteness, but it's better for getting respect.

Besides, attractiveness is really more about your attitude than your body.

>>184381
You can spoil his fun at any time by claiming to be his mother.. or father, if you want to keep the disguise up. He won't get far if they think he's a child.

>>184414
Or you could politely remind him not to wet the bed tonight in front of all the elf girls.

>>184421
This.

>>184421
That's petty. Don't be petty. You wouldn't like it if someone did that to you, right?

>>184421
Even better, "THAT'S IT, NO SEX TONIGHT!"

Rynh has experience with a longsword so I'd advise furthering that. Free hand can be for two-handing the longsword when necessary and casting magic. Or you could use a shield. I'd advise keeping the hand free.

As for magic I'd choose utility spells like mage hand, light, unlock, and something that works like paint to make visible markings and writing. A fire resistance spell plus your dragon half would make you immune to your own fire. No more sore throat.

Speaking of a sore throat, do I sense jealousy in regards to Jehral?

>>184381
you have no boobs, but maybe your ass can summon elven males?
Perform bootycall?
You don't have to though. Just a way to get elven men if you are feeling insecure...

Rynh, you can't be jealous of him getting a little flirting from the elven ladies when your own flirting has been nothing but bullying and violence.

>>184434
Clearly Rynh must out-flirt these harlots, then.
Take a swing at the one on the left.

Go for the sword training.

>>184433

"Oh, I seem to have dropped a stone."

*bend over*

*suddenly, elf males as far as the eye can see*

Why don't you just not give a shit

Kick the first asshole who puts the moves on you in the dick. You're here for training, not penis. Besides, they're some freaky other species that isn't related to either one of your parents, you horrible mutant, you.

>>184381
I reckon they think he's adorable in the manner of a hurt puppy, rather than anything else. You're too big and competent looking for that.

Perhaps a makeover is in order.I'm sure the elven women be more than willing to spruce you up. You know, make you look like you're a girl...

Tell Noseface to quit being silly and let you practice magic on him. Say this suggestively to et him to let you, then tie him up to a spinning target and shoot magic missile at him several times with bad aim.

>>184381
*spoilers* those are elven guys

Changing my vote to 'leave immediately.'

>>184446
Also this

>>184560
THEY HAVE TITS.

Anyway Rynh, just get your training done. You don't have a thing going with Jehral yet so unless you walk over there and propose a relationship right now you're just going to have to deal with it. You don't have any claim over him.

>>184563
fine there very attractive elf men

Anyways, go and look for someone to teach you magic and stuff.

I decide to stay and find someone to teach me magic. I have to do some heavy labor and fight off some forest monsters to earn enough to make a living here, but I eventually figure out the whole sorcery thing; Will something to happen, it happens. Kind of like fire breath, except totally different.

Jehral actually stayed around to train himself in being a little flippy, bouncy freak... and I think he likes being around elves, for reasons other than the boobs even.

Anyway, it's been a month now and I think we're ready to move on.

>>184820

He likes your hair


or your butt i cant tell

>>184820
Nice hair. Okay, you are both now awesome. Go kick some ass wherever your ultimate destination was.

I really like your new outfit and hair style. You look quite cute. Moreso than elves in your own way.

Also your figure seems to be developing a little more. Perhaps Jehral learned a spell of his own to use on you. :3c

Jehral casts boobaga!

I see you've got a new look. Personally, I liked the old one better; baggy pants suit you more than a skirt.

So what sort of sorcery did you learn? We're rather sketchy on what exactly magic is capable of.

Is it just me or do you have an extremely long, flexible tongue?

>I have to do some heavy labor and fight off some forest monsters to earn enough to make a living here
Good!
Are your arms less weedy now? I can't tell in the 'after' picture.

Consider getting some more functional clothes and a sword. You look like a waitress. Then again, you HAVE been hanging with elves.

On that note, leave in search of that dragon. Hopefully you've got enough spare cash. Don't worry too much about saving for the return trip. You'll figure something out.

>>184820
I like your new outfit. Let's get to the traveling business.

>>184864

>>184820
Hug Jehral, get movan.

>>184820
One other important thing, before we give you bad magic advice in a crucial moment and get you dead:

For your sorcery, what is the cost of using it?
Does it make you tired?
Do you have a pool of energy untapped by normal exertion that it uses?
Do you run the risk of insanity from manipulating otherworldly forces?
Does it feed on souls?

If it is something safe, how about a demonstration? Make it rain on Jehral, and only Jehral. A tiny little cloud, right over his head.

>>185157
Wizards use spells and rituals and wands to channel mana from the world around them to create magic. Dragons are directly connected to mana, so they can just channel it directly through their bodies. I just have to kind of will something to happen and it happens, within reason as long as I have enough mana to mess around with.

It can't do everything, but it can do a lot and as long as I don't do anything incredibly reality breaking, it's pretty safe.

That means you have telekinesis.

You can poke Jehral's nose from fifty paces.

>>185258
Hmm. Did your chest get a little bigger? Or is that just your new outfit showing off your natural curves?

Maybe you can augment them with your newfound magic ability?

>>185258
Magically massage him through his pants while you're walking, and act like you're not doing anything.
THEN start prodding him in a way and a place that makes him feel uncomfortable.

>>185264
No, start with shoulders, back, work your way down.

C'mon now. I know you like to see Jehral soaked to the bone, his clothing clinging to his lithe frame to give you a better view of his toned figure, but he's gonna have to walk in that. Unless you carry him. :3

Congratulations! You have become a FIGHTER/MAGE. They are totally awesome.

Apologize by licking his nose. Claim ownership in front of the elves.

Now that you've successfully trained in magic it's time to go looking for that dragon. Did you find any leads during your training?

Also, you've officially reached a "Hey Arnold!" level of pathetic flirting. You don't know what I'm talking about, but use your imagination. Quit being scared of your feelings and make out already.

Then find that dragon.

>>185354
This voice means that if you like him THAT way, you're flirting with him all wrong. Generally, harming and calling names doesn't work. Teasing and cozy words does...

Anyway, to the dragon... and maybe some hunting... for food... bacon?

>>185258
Glad we didn't coax you into something more self-destructive than normal.

Though from that explanation.. your magic might not work as well when you reach the dragon itself, if mana is an external, shared resource. Hopefully it won't come to that this time.

Which brings up a new problem: What do we do if the dragon wants the stone? We might want to find a way to hide it, from both magic and normal senses, though we'd need a friendly magic-sensor to really verify its usefulness.

Find transportation to the shore nearest the dragon cave. I'm assuming you can't just fly or teleport there with magic.

Focus, people. We can worry about getting her to stick her tail up Jehral's butt later.

Don't listen to them Rynh. We must continue to pester Jehral.

Remember: Live is Evil spelt backwards.

>>185373
First, she is dragon kin.
second, as part dragon, Rynh likely has better control of magic than the average spell caster... at least with enough study...
Third, If dragon wants the stone it is a good thing if it is adding it to its treasure. It's pretty hard to kill a dragon...

>>185393
You got any better ones?

Because you want to connect with your ancestry, maybe find out something about your parents, and talk to someone who knows all about ancient magical treasures like the one around your neck.

Hopefully without the dragon going "yoink" and stealing it from you. If they get interested, at least try to get paid for it.

Also, feel free to fast forward through the usual we're-at-a-town-and-we-buy-food-and-stuff-and-then-start-walking-several-updates-later.

Speaking of Speeding Things Up.. try using your magic so the ship has full tailwinds the whole trip.
Work with the crew, of course, so you know when and where the wind's best. It might cut your travel time.. they might even refund some of your travel fees for it. Also, a chance to flex your magic muscles a bit.

>>185419
A dragon might consider 'letting her live' to be sufficient payment for the stone tho. That much power's a big bargaining chip.. still, the chance of getting on good terms with a dragon could be worth the risk.

Alright. I have a bit of information about the area. We're still some time from the mountain range and the northern tip of the range is controlled by aggressively xenophobic dwarves. The desert runs all along the range to the southern tip of the continent and has virtually no settlements at all except the oasis city of Shaavan out in the middle of the damn thing.

So I'll be trudging through the mountains or burning in the desert to get to a dragon den that I have no idea how to find.

We're loaded up and ready. We just need to decide how to approach...

Take this route. There's lots of rivers and a nearby coastline, so there's probably forests and grasslands, so you can travel reasonably well and not have to worry about mountains or dying of thirst until you're past the dwarves. They're xenophobic, apparently, but they're probably not going to have a strong military presence away from the mountains.

Might run into a few random encounters, but nothing huge. Probably.

Then turn southwest into the mountains, beyond the dwarves, where there's probably dragons. They fly and are brightly colored and probably eat a lot of food, so hopefully you'll see one flying around somewhere.

>>185454
Follow the coastline then head inland just past the dwarves.

Like Test Pattern's suggestion except a little further away from the mountain.

Alright, dress up Noseface as a Dwarf Adventurer and pretend that you are his mentally challenged dragonbold servant.

Then go through The Mines of Soviet Moria.

What are Dwarves opinions on dragons?

If you meet any of them and they give indication that they want to fight, say "I really don't like fighting. Since I'm only half dragon whenever I breathe fire my throat is sore for the rest of the day.".

>>185485

Rynh herself asked a pair of dwarves what they thought of dragons.

Pretty much hate, hate, hate and yet more hate gently sprinkled with a hint of eat shit and die.

Yeah dwarves kinda don't like dragons at all since they tend to burn their forts and alcohol.

>>185752

Go upstream until you find stuff that floats, or a ferry. If there's none, ford the river like it's oregon trail. By which I mean swim and use magic to carry shit.

Levitate Jehral and use him as a surfboard.

try making an ice bridge with magic, use that rock there to test it before you try to cross.

>>185831
Make like a salmon and SWIM, FAGGET.

If you are going to cross go waaaaaaaaaaaaay upstream. You don't want to get washed over the waterfall.

>>185831
Magic experiment. Make yourself really strong and really light. time for Super Jumping!

>Swim
I don't like getting soaked and then getting washed over a cliff.

We move down stream away from the rocky cliff faces to more of a rocky scrubland and I try to magic up an ice bridge.

HA! I am so fucking awesome! Woo! Yeah!

>>185885
have fun slipping into the water and getting abnormally cold due to the ice...

try that rock right there on it first. if it doesn't break then you're good

>>185885
We failed at making Moonleaf a magical girl, but you're shaping up rather nicely. You've even got the wind blowing your hair/clothes when you cast!

>>185885
Is ol nosenose impressed by your sweet magic skills?
He better be.
If not, he can be your bridge tester. He should slide nicely in that big cloak of his.

Throw a few fistfuls of dirt or gravel onto the bridge for traction and walk across.

Tell Jehral "Ladies first." and motion for him to cross.

>>185885
Raise up the edges as guard rails and then roll over on your bellies.

>>185961
... but cold wet people are cool people...

Also, your bridge is curved, not straight. What this entails is more sliding...

Okay test the bridge, it may LOOK good but not support enough weight.

Try to cross and fall on your ass comically.

So then we just throw some thing relatively heavy and small... preferably a living thing would be a good test...

"Ladies first."

"I don't see any ladies here."

"Ha, ha. Smart ass. Let's go."

We toss some sand over the surface and start walking.

"Do you think it's possible to be too awesome?"

"Your awesome bridge is starting to crack."

"That's normal..."

Oh gods, I hope I didn't put too much weight in Elftown...

>>186071
Well, just hurry on over to the other side, then.

... yeah, start running.

Start crawling, displace the weight on more of the ice at a time.

>>186071
Kick Jehral off, you've got to lose some weight fast.
You can go find his body later.

>>186080
throw him to the other side not off.

You're fine. Ice floats.

Well reinforce it or make yourself lighter.

>>186071

Make the river into lemonade! It will taste good as you drown! And be icy fresh thanks to your awesome bridge.

Also, next river make an ice slippery slide.
Ladder on the beginning end and an angle across.
Then your round, cute butt can do the moving for you.

Just keep walking. Running will stress it out more.

Why was Jehral just hanging out at the peak of the curve, anyway? Isn't that the weakest part? Is he trying to make you fail? I bet he's jealous.

I just throw him off the end and jump off. The whole thing breaks off into the river and gets swept downstream by the current.

"Well, look at the time. How about we set up camp?"

"Hmmph fffrbl pphaa!"

"Alright then!"

Um was that crack the bridge or Jehral's bones?

Rest is for the weak. You want to impress any watching dragons, don't you? Trek on!

Yeah, set up camp.

Maybe you could keep showing off and light the fire with magic.

>>186136
You've really gotten more girly in the past little bit. I blame the elves.

>>186136
1. Sand tends to help melt ice
2. Initiate akward seductive scene

"Erm... was that a roll of coins in your pants Jehral? I think I opened it..."

"Hey, we're dry and across the river. Next time I'll make it a little thicker, a little more tapering so it supports the weight better, and we'll cross one at a time."

Continue doing whatever until something interesting happens or you reach the mountains.

>>186136
So: one bedroll, or two? We're also a little curious if your figure bloomed during that month with the elves..

Also: If dragons are extra-magical like all signs point to, it may come to find You if you cast enough spells in its territory.

>>186359
One bedroll.

Be a bit nicer to Jehral. You're trying to tease him, not beat him up. Have a kind side too. Without a kind side you're a jerk.

>>186187
Goddamn elves.
Anyway, set up a camp.

It's getting cold. You really should conserve warmth by holding each other while sleeping.

>>186543
I agree... it doesn't have to be THAT way ya know?

I say set up camp for the night. Take turns keeping watch.

Or snuggle together.

>>186632
I never really thought of that factor...
Yeah, take watches. Accidentally let important/awkward information slip in your sleepy state as you wake up for your shift.

>>186632
Fuck watches!
Snuggle!
He should be stuffed in your vaj by morning!
Or crushed under your ass.
Or thoroughly satisfied and smoking a cigarette.
Well, that last one should be you by morning.

Bah! Fuck watches metaphorically, and fuck Jehral literally!

>>186543
I like that idea. Rynh should make a habit out of getting some nighttime snuggling going on.

There's a time for noserubs, and a time for business.

This is the latter. You're in unknown territory, after all.

"I think I'll have to make the next one a bit thicker or something."

"Probably a good idea..."

"Wanna snuggle?"

"What?"

He looks a bit surprised.

"What? Soldiers and assassins for hire can't snuggle?"

"At least you look a little... Softer now."

"Are you saying I've gotten fat?"

"No... Just kind of, I mean... Uh..."

He's got this kind of eager, confused kind of look. I bet he misses his elf groupies.

maybe, but they probably thought he was cute in the same way a kitten is cute. he currently would like that but at the same time fears it's all a trick to just mess with him again. so snuggle, and after a bit inform him 'this will be our little secret, tell anyone and your life is forfeit... night" then squeeze him a little tighter so he can't wriggle away and go to sleep.

>>186790
Tell him it's really cold and you need to conserve energy. Snuggling has practical purposes of keeping you both very effectively warm when the rest of the night is so cold, significantly reducing the chance of hypothermia and increasing comfort.

>>186790
Your figure is starting to fill out, so to speak.

You're looking more womanly.

>>186790
>"Are you saying I've gotten fat?"

He seemed like he was just about to say yes. If you really wanted him to, don't go getting snippy on him like that.

So Rynh is half dragon and channels magic through her body. Magic works through will and desire...

Does that mean that Rynh might gain a more womanly figure over time if she subconsciously wants one?

>>186807
is probably what's happening.

Instruct him to sit in your lap, then put your hands down his pants.

>>186809
This.

>>186790
He seems to be pretty resilient for his size.
And we're pretty sure he means you're getting curves in places he likes curves.
Let him take a better look, if he can tell you -exactly- what he means, first.
And perhaps find out if those elf-lasses did more than snuggle up with him during that month..

Why are women so confusing?

RUN JEHRAL!

Oh, right, he can't hear me. Fine, Why don't you try getting closer to him? Messing with his head isn't cool, Rynh. Try to find out more about him then get comfortable while he's talking (possibly in the form of snuggling). That's a much less awkward approach than this.

Or maybe silly and spontaneous is your style. Who knows?

>>186790
Yeah, definitely more girly. I think he assumes you're just trolling him. Are you?

Use magic to shrink yourself to Jehral's size.
Sit in his lap.

>>186844
Yeah. After everything, he probably assumed a possible troll quote.
Just let it be. And ignore awkward boner if applicable.

>>186790
Well, if I had to guess, I'd say he's speaking awkwardly and has that look on his face because he's finding himself, apparently somewhat unexpectedly, a good bit more attracted to you than in the past. :V

Well that and I don't think he was prepared for "wanna snuggle" at all, and is probably not sure if you actually mean it, or if he wants you to actually mean it.

Or something like that.

Obviously the correct response is a tackle-hug, or something along those lines. :B

>>186790

Wow, you look pretty with your hair down.

I thought you mercenary types were all about the quick and dirty one night stands, then off to the next contract. Here you are asking the guy you obviously love to snuggle next to the fire. It's sweet.

I don't think you are cut out for the life though Rynh. For a mercenary you aren't too terribly mercenary. It's probably a good thing you got away from the mercenary crew.

Anyhow, keep flirting. Tonight is the night. That you snuggle to share body warmth (in a purely platonic fashion knowing you).

>>186790

Steal the initiative.

It could be that or it could be that elves aren't big on eating a lot of meat, so when a forest wyrm or something came around and we killed it, they just wanted to let "nature reclaim it". Seems like a shame to let it all go to waste... I mean, it's just a big chunk of meat with a head. I never got to eat like that on the road!

>>186872
It's just slightly longer. I didn't really do anything to it.

>>186858
I haven't actually tried any of the shapeshifting stuff... I think I'm nervous that I might screw up and explode.

>>186911
I think mind stuff is different than magic, I'm not sure.

>>186874
>>186866
>>186861
>>186809
I don't think I'm going to jump his bones for no reason. I'd better keep it pretty tame. I need my strength to bridge two to four more damn rivers, depending on our route or we start climbing into the dwarf territory mountains to avoid them.

And puppyhead is getting snuggled whether he likes it or not... Oh yes.

>>186937
Ask him if he has any aspirations for the future. Or had them.

>>186940
Doesn't matter, they no longer apply. We own him now.

You look depressed Rynh. Are you depressed? You should cuddle Nosefa- erm... 'Puppyhead' to ward off depression. Like, bear hug cuddle. And then fall asleep while having him in a bear hug cuddle.

Hmmm, now that you mention it, what part of "dragon + kobold" equals "hair" at all?

>>186937
Well, of course. I just said to hug him, which you seem to want to do anyway. :V

Jerhal is actually looking a bit cold there. Snuggle up in one sleeping bag and keep him warm with your smooth, shapely thighs. Moan softly whenever he moves and make sure to accidentally rub his nose.

On the travels I recommend you stay on flat ground or move along the rivers where you're more likely to find signs of civilization.

>>186937
Next chance you get, practice shape-shifting stuff - it's useful for practical purposes, and for snugglan. :3

For now, snuggle puppyhead like he was a big teddy bear, but don't break anything.

>>186937

I figured as much. I still stand by my statement. =3

>>186937
I would like to note that there is a guy after us and the stone.
As much as cuddle is wanted, we don't particularly wanna die...

Maybe there's some sort of compromise or mix of the two...

>>186970
I... what? Why is this a choice between "don't cuddle" and "get attacked?"

>>186937
Glad to see you share our line of thinking. Also, 'puppyhead'? Really?

okay then, cuddle on lass.

>And puppyhead is getting snuggled whether he likes it or not... Oh yes.
This is the right kind of attitude. If you want something, be assertive about it. If someone pushes you around, push them around. If you're attacked in the night, kill them all.

(Plus, if Jehral didn't like you a lot, he would've stayed at the elf island where he was accepted, fawned over, and trained in esoteric martial arts. But don't get hung up on relationship stuff.)

Reach over, gently grab his arm and pull him over into your lap. Wrap your arms around him and put your head onto his shoulder and sit there until he starts relaxing. Tell him it's nice to have someone to hold. Maybe it reminds you of something you and your mother once did.

He probably sees you more as a big sister or mother figure than a girlfriend. Get him used to the cuddling and treat him more nicely if you want to take it somewhere else. The big sister little brother mentality doesn't work well in a relationship.

>>187003
and then top it off with a "I'm glad you came with me" statement and a kiss to the cheek if you wanna push the envelope.

If not, keep it at the cuddle.

Shoot fire in the air like fireworks to impress him!

>>187012

Shooting a "we're over here" into the air isn't good if snuggling is supposed to follow afterwords.

>>187003
if she acts like a big sister then she will be, if you acts like a girlfriend then that is what she will be. 'how he sees you' is based on what you show him.

>>187011
Small kiss on the cheek to make him blush and then cuddle sounds good.

>>187015
Yes, but the suggestions were all the same, I thought we needed some variety.

HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF ALL THIS WE STOP OOZING LUBRICANT FROM OUR VAGINA AND GET THE HELL ON WITH OUR QUEST

>>187046
Yeah, that'd be neat.

>>187046
This is a Gnoll quest, that doesn't happen.

>>187046
Please this. He's a tiny, cowardly shitstain. Why the hell would you be attracted to him in the first place?

>>187059
When has he been cowardly?

>>187046
Yeah I figure we give this maybe one more frame and then insist on a cut to the next actual event. :V

We've found the solution. Gnoll will still do all the art and write for the characters, we'll be his storywriters.

>>187046
Our quest is to hook Rynh and Jehral up, so, yes, lets do that.

>>187068
I concur
get your snuggling over with.
We got dragons to see.

>>187046

How about you shut your face?

Let's break camp and move on come early morn.

Trivial updates like this would make this quest more interesting if this quest was updated more than once or twice every other day.

>>187076
But, Gnoll's quests aren't about getting shit done they are about getting shit laid.

>>187076
>>187084
Way to be the same person there.

Snuggle more, Rynh.

>>186937

Then what are you waiting for?

>>187086
I am aware that I am me, thank you.

>>187001

>But don't get hung up on relationship stuff.

I'm afraid we're well beyond that now.

That uncertainty may limit you, Rynh. From your explanation, your willpower is a key in your magic. Doubt and uncertainty is a real will-killer.

I'll bet that 'laws of reality' thing is just elf propaganda too.. deliberately attempting to limit the scope of your power.

Make your Moves before something goes snugglus interruptus on you

Jehral gets a quick squeezing then we go to bed. I have other things to worry about, like getting across this truly shitty terrain! Why are their so many rivers in one god damn place? It's a rocky hellhole!

>>187259
Yeah okay fuck this terrain. Can you summon a volcano? 'Cause that would be mighty helpful right about now.

god damn. well, we had to choose between a hot hell-hole or this wet hell-hole. just use upgraded ice bridges and blow through the whole place. make sure to destroy them after crossing.

>>187262
This is a good idea can you summon a water elemental or maybe a giant turtle? If so you could ask it to ferry you across.
(note be prepared to offer it something in return.)

It's going to be slow, just keep on trucking. Take a break when you feel fatigued, you don't want to be falling in.
Snuggle Puppyhead for warmth when you take breaks from building bridges.
Maybe we could use something other than ice? Maybe a stone bridge or a Puppyface bridge. Also when you get a chance find a bug or lizard or small mammal and try some transformation/shape shifting shit on it.

Can you go a little further inland so it's easier to cross?

>>187259
Well, get on with it. Those rivers aren't crossing themselves now.

.... How about a wind spell to simply fly/float you across. If you don't want go through or around go over, learn from Eyeshield.

>>187259
How deep are these rivers, anyway? Can you just ford them?

Oh god! The bridge didn't even take as long to collapse this time.

It's not easy creating and molding hundreds of pounds of ice, you know...

Get that spindly dead tree over yonder, increase its density and strength, then use it as a bridge.

oh its hot spring water. You know what that means gentlemen?

>>187308
Construct a canoe from the dirt and sail across the river instead. Make sure you construct some paddles as well.

Let's just use the tree.

>>187316
It means somewhere in the dangerous mountains filled with dwarves who likely want to kill us, and numerous other hazards to our health, including rockfalls, huge gaps, cliffs, etc., there is a hot spring...

I'm guessing you want to go there anyway.

>>187323
comon. We have the time to relax in a hot spring.
hell maybe Jehral knows some herbs we can use to loosen up some tight muscles or something.

Swim across. Sorry you are going to get wet. Have some sense and do it far, far away from any waterfalls or rapids.

[No cuddling scene makes me sad. Everybody wanted to see river crossings instead.]

Seriously? No wind walk spell, I am dissapoint.

>>187326

[Me too. Oh well.]

Summon Lapras. Or a whale.
Or summon a raft from the elemental plane of boats.

>>187308
Fuck ice, pull up some heavy stones out from the bottom of the river and step across.

>>187308
Maybe you can use a tree as a makeshift bridge?

>>187308
Make supports under the bridge that lodge into the riverbed. Leave room for the river to flow, tho, otherwise there's gonna be flooding.

Also, it might have broken because you weren't feeling confident. The first bridge broke, after all..

Know your bridge is strong. Dont make it out of ice. Make it out of Power.

Can you do a size changing spell? Even if it takes a lot out of you and only lasts so long maybe you can make yourself gigantic and cross a river a stride at a time, since there are lots of them.

>>187616
I haven't tried any form changing stuff yet. I think I'm afraid I might explode or mangle myself.

We are now clear of the rivers and can go where ever from here. Phew...

even with your skill, hard earned practice helps.

You look like some sort of a crazy chicken. Just sayin'.

Look around. Are there any cliffs around here?

>>187662
>I haven't tried any form changing stuff yet. I think I'm afraid I might explode or mangle myself.

Start minor. Dye your hair... green? I dunno,wait, RED, yes, that's definitely your color.

Take a 20 minute break to catch your breath. Where does the magic get its power from? How come it makes you physically tired?

If you want to practice shape changing magic on living things you could start by lengthening and shortening a nail on your pinky finger. Then move on to doing the same with the finger, itself. Worst that happens is you lose the finger entirely. Should be a pretty easy fix for someone decent at restoration magic.

For practice on inanimate objects take a twig and try to bend it.

Better not mess with your own body. Try messing with the bodies of your enemies first. Or if you're hunting, you could try it on prey.

Hey, I just realized that since you destroyed all the bridges you made to cross the rivers... anyone following you would be hard pressed to keep up.

Hey now that we're past the rivers there's not much further to go. Catch your breath and then get moving until it's time to camp again.
