Renaissance Demon Quest

In the nether realms you are a lesser demoness of fearsome power and demeanor! Ah but here in the mortal world, through the mirror of the planes, your "reflection" is a young woman by the name of Amelie. At least, that's the name you were given by the person who summoned you. Consider yourself blessed though, for you have the rare privilege of being truly free in the world; by no fault of your own, or any other, the fool who summoned you killed themself! Under normal circumstances, a demon being summoned forth would have to abide by some rules or other, but since the pact in this situation was voided in such an unexpected way, you suffered neither servitude nor banishment.

What joy, few if any ever get the chance you now have, and though you'd do well to follow the trends of the nether realms you have the luxury of choice in the matter. For now though, the nature of your summoning will not have gone unnoticed, especially not in a city such as this and so it's up to you to escape. To the countryside, to other lands or seas abroad, who knows. Just anywhere but here.

So you find yourself in the hovel among the poor quarter of the city of Tuileries, in the country of Almace. It's taken you a few days but you've become more used to your mortal form and the world here, at least the immediate world of the city. You hope yourself prepared enough to flee at least, for soon enough you expect the authorities or worse, the church to come looking for you.

>What do you do?

>>1431612
Learn of the city and its inhabitants.
Find places that are rich in religion and those that are steeped in sin.

>>1431612
Look for a job as a maid after
>>1431629

>>1431629
Well the poor quarter you're in is pretty rife with sin, though from some talk you've heard, there's more specifically seedy sides of town where criminals and villains gather. If you are particularly interested in them though, you can try to learn more by asking around or trying to listen out for information. Same with the holy and faithful areas, likely about the several churches in the city.

That said, as much as a large city like Tuileries would appeal to you and your interests, for the purposes of self-preservation it may be wiser to seek such things elsewhere. The city is nice enough, but a demon summoning is no small thing, and it's likely that once your presence is discovered there will be a significant effort to find you out. Maybe best to leave before that happens.

Though of course, if you're up to the challenge...

>>1431646
Lets look for the merchant's quarter, we could hire out to a caravan, preferably one without a prolective for priestly endeavors.

>>1431643
A maid job would suit you well, probably just not here. A fine young woman such as yourself though, would be the envy of any household for sure!

>>1431658
That does seem like a good idea to you, though... where might the merchant's quarter be? Since you've been summoned to this plane, you've only explored a little outside the hovel your came into, so you're only barely familiar with the poor quarter.

If you seek the merchants quarter then, how do you plan on finding it?

>>1431667
Logically the merchant's quarter would be near the main thoroughfare of the city. Ask a local poor person where that would be.

>>1431677
A sensible idea, as you prepare yourself for a trip into the world again. Stepping outside the hovel, you're assaulted by the smell of the poor quarter around you, and the heat of the sun beating down. It's not the summer season yet as you can tell, but today feels like it could be.

So hiking up your ragged dress as you step over a stream of who-knows-what flowing down the street, you make your way around the buildings and alleys here. You've only done some very basic exploring in these parts, daring to venture outside of your hovel, so it's still a little worrisome and a new experience. Eventually though you find someone who will talk to you, a young lad trying to catch a rat in a barrel. He vaguely instructs you in the proper direction of this "Merchant's Quarter" with some errant gesturing in a direction across the city. To him this seems to be sufficient information, thought to you being quite literally a newcomer to the city, you might just get lost.

Unless you have a better idea, make a d100 roll to see how you fare in navigating your way around, along the sparse directions you've been given.

Rolled 83 (1d100)

>>1431696
If there is a river, follow it.

>>1431723
>83

Indeed there is a river, though you're not able to follow it too closely all the way since there are lots of buildings along it, but you can manage well enough along side streets.

A strange experience it is though, going beyond the poor quarter to the rest of the city. So much nicer but so much more crowded too, and many more experiences. Good thing your mortal form is good enough to blend in, being noticed here would spread word quick.

Eventually you are able to find what you think is the supposed merchant's quarter, and by the look of the fancier buildings and businesses this would appear to be the case. However as you try to enter, you are stopped by a sort of guard, probably privately hired rather than working for the city. Just by your appearance, he judges you to be poor or at least of that quarter, and tells you to remove yourself and find accommodation elsewhere. In part because of your low propriety, in part because of concern that you are diseased.

Quite offensive to you, but also a little scary since you haven't been treated so roughly by anyone since your time here. A strange sensation, that really you yourself are not scared, but you get that feeling in your mortal guise.

>What do you do?

>>1431741
Well, we go back and look for some better clothes.
Or we seduce him, nah lets look for clothes, and weapons.

>>1431741
Beg him to let us in, we just want to look for a ride out of the city
We'll do anything

>>1431765
You can attempt to beg him, but this is his job. He hears your reasoning though, and says if you just want to leave the city you could just go with some day laborers or any of the usual groups in transit between towns.

>>1431760
That's not the worst idea, no. At least better clothes, so you don't look like a dirty beggar. Some other clothes, maybe a wash, who knows maybe you'll be let into all kinds merchant quarters. A weapon as well can't be a bad thing. Where would you like to search for (or take) these things though?

>>1431783
Lets go to the areas where they are washing clothes near the river.

And before we leave, lets ask him about job postings or openings we could fill.

>>1431783
Look around for any places that might hire us so we can buy clothes later on

>>1431805
From what you've seen they actually don't wash clothes in the river here in the city, it's too filthy. Well, any clothes which would be better than yours at least. If you want to steal some though you could venture outside the city, or maybe try to find a washery and sneak in.

Either way you ask him about jobs, he says none for the likes of you, unless you have some valuable skillset. Unlikely by the look of things, and it also sounds like the job would be putting you here in town.

>>1431815
If you have a preference you can seek something out specifically, or you could just roll, and wander around hoping to find something you could do.

Rolled 62 (1d100)

>>1431824

Rolled 39 (1d100)

>>1431831
>62

A shop assistant is rather high for someone seemingly so low, but after wandering around the streets and being accosted a few more times and forced out of this side of town altogether, you do hear offer of work for a butcher's cleaner nearby after the previous one got run over by a carriage.

It barely offers anything in the way of pay though, and as a woman you're likely harder pressed to get the job. As well it seems more a permanent job, and not as though you couldn't just up and leave, but you don't expect to be making the kind of money to buy new clothes for at least a fortnight.

>>1431832
>39

No clothes of any better condition than what you have on, just discarded rags in gutters or left alleyways. Eventually you are able to find some old shoes at least though, a big relief since you hadn't any yet and were having to go barefoot, already cutting and otherwise injuring your feet across the cobbles of town so far.

>>1431841
Looks like our aspects have run dry, lets try to follow or join the workers going to another town.

>>1431849
>>1431854
You can try this. What sort of tailor are you trying to steal from though? Like an actual proper store, just a weavery, or a tailor?

And I'm guessing you don't want to do it in broad daylight? Or do you?

Rolled 75 (1d100)

>>1431864
Lets try to steal some supplies from a tailor.
We can make rudimentary clothes that don't look like a potato sack.

>>1431897
Well that's quite the stretch but if you have the time, maybe you can manage. You'll have to steal the right tools as well though, but that can be considered altogether with the goods.

The only question is then, when do you want to do this theft?

>>1431904
Right now
Because they might lock down the place during the night

>>1431904
Night time. Definitely night time.
The witching hour, more precisely.

>>1431906
Good point.
Could we sneak in and hide till night time?

>>1431906
>>1431907
>>1431897
>75

Right then, you wander around the side streets of the merchant quarter, and by chance are able to locate a tailor who supplies wares to the merchants. It's around midday so the place is technically open, though it's a break hour as it were, the owner having gone upstairs to his home for a meal with his family while leaving the actual business in hired help's hands.

A normal customer wouldn't find much good in the place at this time, but standing in an adjacent alleyway and peering around, the little open-air business seems ripe for the picking if you can manage.

Roll for an effort to steal, specifying what you want to steal, and how you want to do it. The more descriptive, the lower the roll success is.

>>1431919
We sneak in through an open window.
We look for clothes that are nearly done, and needles and thread to finish them.
We'll need a thimble to keep from stabbing our fingers and thumbs.This should be near the worktable, near a window to benefit from the sunlight.

So moving back down the alleyway you're in, you find an open window and sure enough, inside is various clothes being worked on. Your plan to steal them goes well enough for the most part, as you stack up some trash in order to stand up to reach the window and struggle to get through. Grabbing the clothes and materials you can in the back room though, while looking for the finer tools like needles, threads and thimbles, you're noticed by the shop worker who came to the back room in order to leave something there. When she, a young lady, sees you she screams and takes offense, grabbing a measuring rod and attempting to beat you with it. Well, attempting but she does attack you with and you're being beaten quite soundly. Pain, you're no stranger to it in the nether realms, but here it feels all the more distressing.

>What do you do?

>>1431952
Retreat before the guards arrive, but try to take the measuring rod too.

>>1431952
run away with the stuff we stole.

At least we will have gained something out of this miss-step.

>>1431957
>>1431961
Your attempts to flee may have been successful, but the shop lady grabs the goods in a sort of tug of war which takes place. You can attempt to roll to tug the clothing free, though it may jeopardize your escape.

Want me to roll?

>>1431974
You could exercise that power if you're willing to shed (some of) your mortal form. That would make it very obvious your nature though. There's the more conventional way of just scaring her, but it would be something you'd have to learn about her, like what her fears are. In this short exchange, just trying to spook her into letting go of the clothes or freaking out, you don't have the power without shedding your mortal form to an extent. Normally you'd need to have built up power in order to do something like give her a flash of nightmares.

>>1431995
Lets just holler like a crazy person.
Crazy people are scary, especially if they are filthy poor crazy people.

>>1432003
Since you don't feel up to power to scare her demonically, you figure maybe just a good old fashioned human way of pretending to be crazy and maybe have rabies might work. Certainly your dirty and ragged appearance will add to that effect.

Go ahead and make a roll to see how crazy you can appear to be. Naturally this will be less difficult than using any demonic powers.

Rolled 81 (1d100)

Well you start kicking and screaming like a madwoman! Along with your gross appearance, this does quite the job of scaring the poor shop lady enough that she recoils in fear or maybe just disgust and lets go of the goods. Your chance to flee has come, as you just run out the open front of the store into the streets beyond!

You are of course near immediately followed by the shop lady rushing outside and screaming for help and anyone who will listen, about your theft. So not only might some folks be looking for you for being a demon, but now they're looking for you for being a thief. Good job!

At any rate though, you have obtained a partially completed dress, some lengths of cloth, and the basic tools to complete the dress. Now if only you knew how to sew. That can come later though, for now what do you do? You're currently in a back alleyway with the stolen goods, the shouting still to be heard maybe a street or two away.

>>1432015
Find a place to hide, maby a house or a barn?

>>1432017
>>1432019
Well inside the city, you might be hard pressed to find a house you can hide in unless you break in, or maybe that one in a million chance you find an unoccupied house.

There will absolutely not be any barns though, at best only storehouses. If you want to leave the city though you'll find an abundance of places to hide, but at that point you're not really on the run as a thief anymore since no one's going to be after you or know what you did. Your choice if you want to stay or go.

>>1432024
Lets go to the country side.
Perhaps we could con some rubes into helping us.

>>1432027
>>1432031
After the trouble caused you decide probably for the best just to flee the city now. Those country bumpkins are ripe for the corrupting. All you have to do is make it out of the city. Do you want to try and fit in with any persons or groups leaving as well, or just strike out on your own and hope you don't attract attention? Either way make a roll to see if you can go unnoticed.

Given the times and proclivity of the common folk, this is such a strange idea that it just has to work. And it does, swimmingly! You stuff the stolen goods all bundled up in your tattered clothes on your back and hunch over, looking like a regular freak of nature. That, combined with joining along with a group of poorly other folks, and you're able to walk through the nearest gates of the city walk without issue!

Generally the reason is because everyone is too disturbed by you to really do or say anything, but you happen to notice that the further from the city you get, the more people thin out and try to avoid you. Till the point where, after about a mile, you're basically on your own. The road is well traveled, with folks coming and going, but none stop to bother you and for as far as the eye can see, at least to any forest lines, are farm fields. Probably these are to feed the city and such, so they're still pretty closely tied to it. Still better than hiding within the walls though to be found by an inquisitor or something.

At any rate you're out of the city, and on one of the main roads to and from it. You're free to act and go where you please. High on your list of priorities is gaining demonic power and stealing people's souls, the usual hullabaloo for demons, but you don't have a greater demon breathing over your shoulder like back in the Hellscape. As such, well you know spreading corruption is fun and all, but there's all sorts of amazing things about the mortal world you can take to.

Like flowers. They don't have flowers in the Hellscape, and you've never been more amazed to smell fresh country air like this. It's almost too much for your mortal form, so who knows what else awaits you, for as long as you can go without getting caught.

>What do you do?

>>1432055
Find a place to finish the clothing, then we'll wander to a farmstead and claim that we were kidnapped, and we escaped.

>>1432064
You can just find a glen or some trees or something off the road to sit and try to fix up the clothes for awhile if you want.

Just make a roll to see how things go.

Rolled 39 (1d100)

As it so turns out, a demoness fresh summoned from the Hellscape and her daily activities of torturing wayward souls, punishing underlings and begging for mercy from greater demons, doesn't know the first thing about sewing. You poke yourself a few times but nothing serious, though you just do an overall terrible job of putting this thing together. Maybe it looks better, if you're trying to sell the crazy woman look, though the pitiable destitute girl begging for work looks better in rags for sure.

The good news is that you do learn a good bit, and as part of your demonic nature, you pick up skills phenomenally quickly. So while you botched this job, would that you tried again, it would be on the same level of skill as someone who sort of knows how to sew well enough. And a few times after that, you'd be a master almost.

Interestingly, while you work, you attract the attention of a young lass whose friend's wagon broke and is currently being fixed on the road nearby. Rather than just sitting and waiting the whole time, she saw some odd woman off the road sewing a strange dress and thought to investigate. She introduces herself and asks what you're doing, clearly curious as to why you picked here of all places to sew. And why someone in rags would have as fine (at least in material) dress as the one you have. All in all a rather strange impression for sure, you can imagine her seeing.

>>1432093
Um
We bought this with the little money we were able to scrounge up after leaving the city, but we kinda screwed up

Ask her about herself after that, where is he going and such

>>1432093
>>1432093
The dress was from my sister, but she didn't have time to finish it...
>Start crying.
It was all I could grab before I ran... the screaming.
I was going to wear it, but it wouldn't stay on, cause it wasn't finished.
>sob
So i found some old rags to cover myself.
>Looks down at rags and examines them.
And now that I got here, I thought I should finish them.
>Cry a little harder, while placing your face in hands.

>>1432141
>>1432143
These are two quite different options which will result in very different outcomes, so a player consensus would be best, otherwise I'll just roll to determine the winner.

>>1432143
Ho fuck
Go for this

>>1432143
You spin quite the tale from honeyed gold, so pleasing to the girl's senses that she can't but help fall for it. Or something like that. She buys your story without question, and when she sees that you're in distress, she kneels beside you and tries to comfort you, saying it'll be alright and if you need help she and her friend will gladly offer. It's a good thing you're covering your face while crying, because feeling her supportive arms around, you can't help but smile.

She says that she and her friend work in a town not too far from Tuileries, and they're taking some goods into the city as usual, and picking things up to take back. With the wagon broken though, they may have to call it quits for the trip, getting the goods in maybe a few trips by horse, but otherwise finding a place nearby to stay till they can get help. She does seem to like to talk a lot at least, though not as much about herself. Almost like she's proud of being the person from her town that gets to visit Tuileries. Whatever the case, it probably would do a good job of calming someone in distress down somewhat, something grounding to focus on. All you can glean is that she is a milkmaid while her friend is a herder. Decent, honest country folk working with their fellow livestock. And true to her nature, as you know she offers you to return with her to their wagon where they'll help you all they can, and certainly keep you safe from any trouble you may be in. Just to make you feel better, she even produces a kerchief of sorts from her dress for you to dry your eyes and blow your nose with. Unlike these mortals though you understand diseases well enough to be grossed out by the snotrag of a woman who probably has some cow's pox or other, and politely refuse.

>What do you do?

>>1432173
Accept her offer and promise we'll pay her back
Also i gtg op

>>1432178
This.

>>1432178
>>1432209
Gratefully you accept her offer and hug her for added effect in thanks, to which she helps you to your feet and walks back with her arms around you. Maybe you wanted to sell the poorly maiden in need, but she's doing a world of help to it. So a short trek through the grass and over the little muddy depression next to the road, near to where indeed there is a wagon with a broken wheel. An old donkey chewing at the grass nearby, and a strapping young lad attempts to make the best of a bad situation.

When he sees the two of you approach he's naturally worried something happened and approaches, to which the girl explains all she can. The fellow seems a bit more suspicious from the outset, but the girl manages to win out over his reason, and he welcomes you and says he's also willing to help with anything you need. You of course offer to pay them back which they of course refuse, but if you're going to be going with them then they'll take you along. Which from the look of things means you'll all be staying together someplace nearby. For now though, he's going to try to fix the wagon with some more effort if he can, otherwise he's going to have to take what goods he can into town with the donkey, making as many runs as he can before evening. In this case the girl then would be the one to stay and watch the cart, but they offer you a choice if you'd want to stay or go with either of them.

Interestingly, the fellow does ask if you're staying, if you'd be willing to defend the wagon alongside the girl. He's not asking you to put your life on the line of course, but in the same way that as a lady you'd sensibly want to protect yourself from brigands and the like, that it would be appreciated if you just stay with the wagon armed in case anyone tries to steal anything. The chances are already low on a main road, and if you're just armed that should do the rest. To this, he offers you a dagger, the girl having a pitchfork handy for this purpose too.

>What do you do?

>>1432225
Take the dagger.

>>1432225
>stay with wagon and take dagger

>>1432371
Supporting

>>1432251
>>1432371
>>1432763
You accept the dagger, and when/if the time comes that he'll be parting ways to make several trips into town, you'll stay with the wagon. In the meantime though you're able to find seating on the wagon with the girl and they're even fine sharing food and drink with you, thinking your condition to be in need of course. Looking over their goods, there's not a whole lot but you think them to be average products of a rural village.

The guy, by the name of Ruben continues trying to fix the wagon wheel with the occasional passerby stopping to watch or offering and failing to help. The girl though, Celia, wants to know more about you given the circumstances she met you by, and how your's seemed to be a tragic story. You could of course make something up, and always have a different identity for different people you meet, but now seems as good a time as any to come up with a story and history about yourself and who you are.

>>1432838
We're an orphan, our mother died when we were little and we refused to stay with our abusive drunk of a father so we've been living off the street... What? Five years?
And obviously cry while telling the story

>>1432859
Sounds good

>>1432859
>>1432911
You keep piling on with the sob story, which only further increases Celia's sympathy towards you and again she tries to console you and say it'll be alright. Ruben as an aside says giving you food and a place to stay is one thing but you shouldn't expect something like a new living from them, though again Celia tells him to be quiet and she's sure they can find something for you to do in their village if you come with them. It sounds like charity to you though, again speaking towards her emotional and bleeding heart, which feels a little insulting. It brings some satisfaction, the thought of prying her thoughts and feelings apart to find what sort of secrets or vices she may have in order to exploit.

Maybe in time. For now though, after another good hour or so and more help from passerbys, another wagon happens past with some folks offering to transport the goods from this wagon into town. Ruben will be going with them of course, so you'll likely be staying here with Celia, after they first transfer all the goods over to the other wagon. The good news is though, as long as the donkey is brought with you so no one steals it, you're free to go wherever you please. Celia says maybe you can go together to find some place nearby to spend the night, but Ruben will probably be in town for several hours at least so there's no particular hurry to do anything.

>What do you do?

>>1432938
We can go with them to the town, there we can find a place to work in

>>1432938
We don't have any goal in mind, do we? I'm all for causing general chaos - can we do anything with a donkey or Celia sacrifice?

>>1432961
They're going back to Tuileries to sell the goods, you'd be going back to the same town you just fled from. If you want to though you can.

Either way I'm going to be ducking out for a couple hours, but will continue when I get back.

>>1432988

Do they live in Tuileries?

>>1433008
No they live in a village some distance away, and in this case they are transporting goods to Tuileries to sell.

>>1432984
There's the great game always taking place, and the way the Hellscape works is that by being here in the mortal world, it's time away. During your absence, no doubt your underlings, other lesser demons or even the greater demon you are subservient to, will move in on your claims and holdings in the Hellscape. So in order to avoid returning and getting curb stomped by your fellow demons for your absence, at the very least you'll want to have some souls collected or just one pure soul. Basically insurance, so if and when you return to the Hellscape, you can at least barter those souls for your old power back. That's the most basic concern for you, and goal. Also possibly creating a bloodline in the mortal world, and leaving some descendants here when you return. As long as you've got living relatives in the mortal world, you can influence them or even return with their help.

Since you are free here though, you have the unique opportunity to influence the game in the Hellscape's, or even your own favor. You can passively spread corruption, encourage it or steal souls, combat the predominant faith or even become worshiped as some false idol, or whatever else you're interested in. As a demon you naturally have a vested interest to further the goals of the Hellscape, and if you do well enough here you might even climb up the demonic hierarchy, possibly even obtaining greater demonship?

Again though you're blessed with true freedom here, something amazingly rare, so you could just completely ignore the goals of the Hellscape and live a mortal life here. There's just always the concern about being found out and banished back to the underworld, and the last thing you would want is to live a long time in the mortal realm without having done anything to make up for your absence. Either that, or be super careful and try very hard to never get found out here.

>>1434107
Lets accompany them until they return to their village, we'll find some work there or maybe we can become their maid

>>1434107
Also
What counts as a pure soul?

>>1434169
You can do that sure, they plan to return once their goods are traded or sold, though because of the wagon damage they'll likely be spending the night at whatever place nearby (which is what Celia is interested in seeking out) and the assumption is you'll stay along with them. The next morning though they'll be headed back.

As for them, they both seem to be laborer types so you'd doubt them to be able to afford a maid. It speaks to the kind of work they do though, the sort of work you could expect to find.

A pure soul is one which is free of any sin, any corruption. Normally this is limited to children too young to understand what sin is, though there are some faithful individuals who can avoid it.

>>1434406
Lets ask them if we can stay with them in exchange for working as a maid or just helping around the house/store

We could also have a second job in their town too, so when we have enough money we can move on

>>1434426
Well it's just you and Celia for now, but you talk with her about things. Notably work to earn your keep. She would be fine with you staying with her, though her accommodations are quite low just being a farm helper. For work though she says you'll have to be on your own for that, since she's the only hired help the family she works for can afford. She'd give you her job if she could, but it's all she has. Maybe elsewhere in the village though she thinks you could find a job.

In the meantime then, along with the donkey, she hopes to find accommodations nearby for all of you for tonight. Unless you want to part ways, you can roll to see how well you do together, what you can manage to find.

>>1434461

>>1434491
>82

You keep to the road together, and actually manage to find a little tavern bordering some farmsteads. A small place but it seems nice enough, and Celia approaches the stable boy to talk, currently cleaning out one of the stalls from which the smell is less than pleasant. He says the owner wouldn't give you a room for free, and unfortunately Celia doesn't think Ruben will be willing to pay for a room. However, if it's just for a night, as uncomfortable as it may be you can probably sleep inside the tavern proper. Just pull some benches together, the owner wouldn't mind that. Just so long as you don't mind a late night's sleep since being a tavern, the place is busy late.

Speaking with you, Celia thinks that's probably the best you can manage together, without something like trying to camp in the woods or hide in the barn of a farmstead.

Celia is willing to wait outside, she'll talk with the stableboy more since if you're all staying here, so will the donkey.

You head inside the place, cozy enough for only a little roadside tavern a short distance from the city. In the afternoon it's not busy though, so you're able to find the owner's wife at least. Something of a problem though from the rags you're wearing and your dirty appearance, none too appealing.

Still, asking nicely and explaining your situation, you're able to get her attention. She's not going to just give you a room for free by pleading, but maybe you can convince her of something. Do you want to try using your wiles on her, or maybe just figuring out some kind of bargain? Either way make a roll to see how you fare, the more descriptive the better.

That's quite a good attempt, you can probably manage something. Are you trying to attract her though, or appeal to some other tendency of hers? You can't just look at someone and know what they're weak to, but if you play upon something they are then it's more likely to work, and you can even exercise demonic influence over them in that way.

>>1434756
Just attraction, don't wanna act out one of her kinks in public, simple subtle attraction will do

>>1434772
Well she's a married woman, so you don't try to just overtly seduce her. You try to be nice and appealing anyway though, and you to attract her attention towards something. It's noticeable to you, since you're very keen to even subtle reactions and human emotions, but some gears are turning in her head about some possibility. Considering and finally deciding, she says she'll give you all a room, not a great one but a free one for the night, if you do her a personal favor.

Naturally of course this is just what you want to hear, but you feign innocence. Not sure what she wants or so you let on, you agree to her proposal which she obviously wants you to keep as a secret between you and her, but she accepts. Having a serving girl take over for now, she leads you along through the back of the tavern to show you what may have been a store room or something like that, but has a few cots and is being used as the hired help room. For the night though she'll just have the hired help sleep in the tavern proper while giving you all this room. Again, it's nothing special but it's a sheltered place to sleep. Food and drink you'll have to pay for though, but that's only fair.

So with the deal accepted the owner's wife tells you she'll bring up the favor later, giving you the chance to return to Celia outside and let her know that you got room and board for the night for free. She's amazed at the prospect and hugs you in thanks, asking how you did it and whatnot.

>>1434828
Um
Tell her we'll just have to help the owners wife with the place or something like that for a bit later on while her and the other guy rest, nothing major

>>1434867
You vaguely explain the situation without giving too much away, the arrangement you worked out. Naturally, Celia offers to help as well, or in your place since she doesn't want to impose on you to do any work for her sake. You're able to refuse her eventually though, to which she thanks you dearly and asks for some way to make it up to you eventually.

In the meantime though, after leaving the donkey with the stableboy, you're now free together to do as you please. Celia thinks to return to the wagon and wait for Ruben to explain to him the situation, but she's fine with any detour. As far as she's concerned, once meeting up with him again, you'll probably spend the rest of the day and evening in the tavern then, according to the arrangement.

>>1434935
Nah, let's just go back to the wagon

>>1434935
Jump on the bandwagon.

>>1434984
>>1435513
Whatever else you might have had in mind, you just decide to head back to the wagon with Celia, an easier walk now without the donkey.

It's a couple hours still, not too boring as you continue to get to know one another and see the passerbys along the road to Tuileries. Eventually Ruben does return with a small hand-drawn cart laden with traded goods from the city, saying he plans to reign it up to the donkey if the wagon is beyond repair. He thinks that probably won't be a concern though, as he found a carpenter in town whom offered his services, and would venture out this way tomorrow morning to try and fix the wagon.

It's Celia's turn to tell what happened though, as she explains to Ruben how together you found accommodation at a small roadside tavern, and how you in particular managed to get them free lodging for the night. He seems a mix of curious and suspicious, but you chalk it up to the owner being sympathetic to your plight. That seems an excuse good enough, with Celia's encouragement, and as an early thanks Ruben lifts off the cover of the hand-drawn cart and draws from the goods some new clothes for you. Nothing fancy, just a colored dress and a blouse and he apologizes if they don't fit well, but it's definitely better than rags.

So with everything taken care of, it seems the best course of action to them now is to take to the tavern and while away the rest of the day and the evening. It's late afternoon already so most of the day is gone anyway. Plus, once there you can have the privacy to change your clothes. That's their aim at least, but you can do as you please, if you want to catch up with or join them later.

Find a spot to change and clean up if possible. Maybe there is a well near the tavern ? The river seems too dirty for that - since the city folk don't even use it for clothes - or a barrel of water.
Looking clean is important and if we look less like a beggar it might be easier to get on the good side of people.

During the two hours, did we get to know a little more about Ruben and Celia ? Are they friends ? Love interest ? Relative ?

>>1435990
Yeah
>>1436003
Clean up and change before going to the tavern

>>1436003
If you like you can roll to pry a bit about Celia. From just basic conversation though you found out that they are friends who live in town and sort-of work together. They've known each other since childhood and you sense that Celia has feelings for Ruben the way she talks about him, but you don't know enough about him to say if the feeling is mutual.

In the meantime, there isn't a well near the tavern but the stableboy informs you that there is one on one of the adjacent farmstead's property. It's not exactly free-use, but he doesn't think they would mind if you needed it in your state. There's also a creek in the woods nearby, which the tavern uses for most of its water needs, but that is in the forest so a lady might want someone to accompany her.

Other than that you could request a washing basin or something like that, but he expects it to cost money.

>>1436015
Hum... We could ask the Lad to accompagny us to the creek, maby the sight of a women bathing will bring some sin into him.
But it might displease the owner and break your innocent cover.

But since we're not use to this realm wandering in the wood is not the best idear. Would Celia want to wash away the dust of the road with us ?

>>1436033
>70

Yes, you were able to pry some. Celia definitely has feelings for Ruben and would wish something, but regrets that it would not be possible. For one thing she doesn't know how he feels, but also her family would not permit them being together. A point which saddens her, but at least they can remain friends and workmates.

>>1436039
Celia is not opposed to washing, but not as late in the day, with the approach of evening before long. You can of course try to convince her though if you want, maybe guilt her since you very obviously would benefit from a wash while she's about as clean as average and otherwise would wash when she gets back home tomorrow.

>>1436048
We guilted her enough for now i think.
Let's ask the lad if he can show us the way as he goes seaching for water the next time. A tavern ought to use a lot of it, even only for the horses.
We can follow him and wait form him to be gone to wash. A little walk together is a good escuse for a discution to step up our social game and maybe learn a little more about the world, the value of money and such.

>>1436073
Well among his various chores includes fetching water for the horses and whatnot for the night, so he can shuffle things around to suit you if you want to go now or soon-ish.

It doesn't seem to be a long walk but if you had anything particular on your mind you can certainly ask him. Otherwise, well as you can tell he's a young lad so he's not the sort to talk to adult women with the most ease.

>>1436082
Just to be polite, why not ask how's buisness, what's happening in the country ? We can't really go "Is there a war or something" but we can just ask him how he feels about living here and see if we learn something usefull.

As for the washing up, the sooner the better, we never know when the owner might need us.

(Sorry for the wait... I hope we'll have some more anon, it'll be a shame for this quest to die, you're an intresting game master)

>>1436145
Actually you can ask even basic things and it wouldn't be too suspicious, since people live pretty insular in these times, especially rural folks. You might get an odd look but considered nothing more than a simple country girl.

And you could definitely do worse for people to ask, since a tavern is the sort of place to gather news and gossip. So along the way you talk with the lad about simple enough things, Business is alright, and he can't complain about living here. Indeed you learn there are wars going on though, which he wants to serve in when he gets older. A bit of a contentious topic though, that Almace has sided with the Selden Empire in the conflict and many people aren't too happy with that. And of course the big news always coming from the grand explorers and conquerers of the new world far and away across the oceans to the west. Were Almace not so heavily invested in the struggles and turmoil of this continent, the lad imagines it would partake of the great wealth in this strange new land, and he fancies he might have sought to join an explorer as well.

At any rate, you reach the woods near to the tavern and bordering farmsteads, and walk together for a time. The lad is able to find the stream, though at that specific point where you come across it there are some goblins there also making use of the water source for washing clothes and cookware. He knows you'll probably want privacy, so figures to just go further downstream where he can draw water and you can wash up.

>>1436384
Eh
They're goblins so
Nah
Casually start cleaning up a fair distance from them

>>1436384
Let's clean up and change.
The beggar look didn't do us a favor until now, but let's keed the ragged clothes. We are not in position to trow away useful stuff.

>>1436397
I don't think this mortal form can fight of a group of goblins... and we're not scary enough to get them to obey.
So, yeah, discretion still is our best weapon for now.

I think we remeber the way back don't we ? Let's head back a soon as we're clean. Get into the tavern and see what's the locals look like.

>>1436397
You agree with the lad, and move some distance away from the gobs, where he's able to draw water and you can wade to a deeper spot and get washed and cleaned. Another invigorating and enjoyable experience, when by contrast the Hellscape can be filthy and there certainly are no baths. At least not of the water kind.

So after washing away the grime of many days spent living in the poor quarter of a city, your skin feels fresh and your hair feels light. You even get a bit lost for awhile, just feeling and admiring your mortal body, so interesting and new, soft and squishy but smooth and appealing. Being above them on the demonic heirarchy you've never been jealous of the succubi or the inccubi, but there's no doubt that their natural mortal forms are appealing in their own way. Much the same now with your own, as you even laugh when you run your hands through your hair and still are surprised at the lack of horns.

Eventually you're brought back to the present by the stableboy though, calling for some distance away to ask if you'll be much longer. It's probably been twenty odd minutes or so, bless the lad for his patience, so you submerge yourself one last time and then quickly wade back out of the water to dry yourself and get dressed in your new clothes. You do keep the rags though, just in case. Finally you climb up the banks of the stream to find the lad sitting and waiting, carving at a stick with a knife to pass the time. When he sees you cleaned up though and in new clothes, he gulps as you can sense the sudden surprise and discomfort. Trying and failing not to seem bashful, he compliments you and says you cleaned up well. He says he was going to ask you for help carrying these buckets of water, but now that you're like a brand new person, he wouldn't want to impose such a chore on you.

>>1436408
Unless they're the criminal sort, you shouldn't have a need to fight goblins. They're a common race in the mortal realm, not just some mindless monsters. They usually have their own customs and culture, but live among humans often enough and there are plenty of goblins who are just normal Almese citizens in all that's expected of that.

>>1436437
Nonsense

And even tease him a little bit

>>1436437
Nonsense, I'll carry my own weight.

>>1436465
Are you trying to accomplish anything with this teasing? Or just for your own fun?

>>1436466
You refuse his offer, you'll help carry things. In the Hellscape you'd have had underlings to take care of menial duties, but here now you want the full mortal experience. And that includes a hard day's work! Well, maybe not a day in this case just a trip back to the tavern, but you won't shirk from labor. It's just another new experience!

>>1436490
When we meet Celia, covertly suggest that we might be interested in Ruben. Make her think she might be losing him, she might try to talk to him.

>>1436490
Just for our own fun
>>1436497
We know she likes him, if we're doing it lets do it really subtle

>>1436499
Yes, covertly means hidden.
We are trying to corrupt them, him through her.
She trusts us more so we can use that to get to him.

>>1436499
>>1436497
Very well, on the way back you lightly tease the stableboy, have some fun with him, things like asking if he's got a girl he's sweet on. You can tell he doesn't like being embarrassed, and who does really, but even so he likes spending the time with you. Given his job, you can imagine he probably doesn't get much time or chance to see or talk to girls his own age, let alone women.

Eventually though the two of you return to the tavern, the stable first where you set the buckets down and he'll be able to go about the rest of his chores. He thanks you for your help and hopes you have a nice evening for your stay here.

Back inside then it is, where you find Celia and Ruben having gotten a bench seat at a table, against a wall so you have something to rest your backs against. Basically one of the better seats in the place, which is fair since it doesn't seem like most customers would show up until later. There are a few travelers inside so it's not empty, you even notice a big orc fellow by the fire, drying his boots. Your two companions though are currently talking with the serving girl, something about figuring out what to have for dinner and the pricing. Celia gets up happily when she notices you taking you by the hands and proclaiming how wonderful you look, all spick and span. She even nudges Ruben who turns his attention to you, and is himself a little surprised at your new look. Not as though you expect him to fall in love with you at first sight or anything, but you do sense at least an initial impulse of attraction in him, complimenting you before focusing on the matter at hand. Celia sits you down with her and says excitedly that Ruben will pay for you all to have dinner with some of the money got through selling the village goods. They were listening to the serving girl on what's available, though there's some concern about whether or not to also order drinks. Partly from a worry of getting carried away drinking, partly from the cost.

As for your little ploy towards Celia, how do you want to frame it? And do you want to do it now?

>>1436546
Ask later when Ruben is not in hearing distance.

Just innocently ask about Ruben's life, then imply that you might be looking to try to start a family, to keep yours going. Also even more subtly hint that you won't be a good wife.
Celia might want to keep him safe from you by taking him for herself.

>>1436546
I say we hold off until we're alone with her, and drinks are okay we can handle ourselves

>>1436568
Isn't that being too pushy?
If you're down I'm down

>>1436571
Well, we could spread it out over a couple of days, so it could sink in and worry would eat at her.

Lets try to spread it out.

>>1436569
Well to be clear you're all going to be getting a drink or two at least since that's just what everyone drinks. People generally don't drink just plain water, it's not safe. The consideration though is whether or not to get several rounds of drinks, which your mortal body is as susceptible as any other person.

>>1436579
Depending on what living arrangements you seek though, you might only be seeing these people for another day or so. The longer game of stringing it out is more likely to work, but you may not have the time to play it with them, depending on your plans.

>>1436568
At the very least though you ask about simple things, even with Ruben right there. You talk among yourselves and you try to learn what you can. A simple commoner life like Celia, he works basic labor in their village but he would like to maybe have his own farm someday. Interestingly you pick up mutual feelings for Celia that he has, maybe not as strong but he's got a flicker of it for sure. He probably knows same as her though that a relationship isn't really feasible, their families would never permit it.

In this way you might be able to torment the two of them quite well, depending on how you do it. In the meantime people come and go from the tavern, mostly travelers, but more folks are starting to gather than leave as evening sets in. Some are people stopping by to spend the night, others are locals from the nearby farmsteads, mostly laborers but also some family folks. Even a beastling lass of the fox sort, a woodswoman from what you understand, though naturally she keeps to herself and people aren't keen on interacting with her.

One fellow, some farmer's son along with a traveler, happen to have instruments and know how to play so get some music going. Ruben thinks some entertainment might be nice, like a table game, though Celia wants some actual gambling which he's not sold on. A valid concern about losing money, against folks, travelers who probably know how to play well or even cheat.

Either way though, it's a lively little scene to be sure.

>>1436632
Lets try to stay with them a couple days. We'll try to entice Celia by making moves on Ruben. After she is full of jealousy, lust, and envy, we'll abandon Ruben and she should jump on him.
Heck, if they get together against their family's wishes, that's just more corruption.

If they are heading to the city we left, the church officials there won't be expecting the demon to be someone just arriving there, they'll think it would be someone that was already there.

>>1436632
Lets go with Rubens proposal, we need to show that subtle attraction towards him

>>1436665
This for now.

>>1436664
No they're heading back to their village tomorrow, wagon fixed or not. Also if the authorities find out a demon was summoned in the city, they'll have people posted at the entrances looking for anything suspicious coming or going in the city.

You decide to torment these two though, a just punishment for the good deed of helping you. How you go about this is up to you though of course, and at what pace. You figure to take your time, but what you actually do is your choice.

>>1436665
You agree with Ruben, as he asks the serving girl where if any a table game might be, which she shows him. He returns with a well-worn wooden board and some pieces, and dice. You naturally have no idea yet how the game works so you take the chance to rely on Ruben showing you how to play, getting up to sit beside him.

How much are you trying to let on your "feelings" towards him? And are you just trying to display them, or are you also trying to tempt Ruben to something?

>>1436688

Well over the course of the game, you try to be subtle about expressing your interest in Ruben as you play together. You do manage to make it unclear to him but clear to Celia, however you go a bit too far to where it's plainly obvious to her, such that it's not a matter of her doubting whether she's imagining things but that it's painfully clear to her. Because of this, she's not sure what to make of it and thinks you might be playing a prank or something, for you to be doing this out of nowhere pretty much.

After playing a couple more games, Ruben gets up to take the board back since the serving girl said your food will be out shortly. The short time alone, Celia asks what you're doing, if you're trying to make Ruben uncomfortable or something? She's not upset, yet, just trying to make sense of your motives.

You try to pretend like nothing is the matter. Celia is a perceptive girl though, so she thinks you're up to something but decides not to press it and just remains cordial.

Sitting all together then, they seek to say grace but you know this will be harmful to you, so you spill your drink and use it as a chance to get up with your food and head to the kitchen and request another.

By the time you return they're already eating thankfully, so you don't have to worry about any blessing. You join them to sit again and start eating, make a roll just to see how you fare against the experience of eating and drinking.

You fare terribly. Between the amazing new experience of actually good food, at least by your standards, you can hardly contain your exuberance. Because of this you get a little carried away drinking, and whether Ruben had planned to or not, you end up getting more than a few drinks.

While you're not just downing drinks like some heavyweight, they affect you as they would any average person, you have more than a few and within the hour you're quite heavily drunk. And if feels amazing! You're feeling more impulsive though, and while you're not so inebriated that you could accidentally let slip your true nature, your normal good senses and scheming, planning potential are heavily impacted.

One such thing drawing your attention, is a couple people dancing to a lively tune. You've never danced before, and it looks so fun you'd just love to join in.

A fellow customer in particular, a fellow who seems to have taken a liking to you and is interested.

It's all fun and games, but you know better than to go off gallivanting with some handsome stranger. That is, until he takes your hand in his and says such sweet promises that it sends your mortal heart aflutter. Your lack of experience in these matters, makes it all the more appealing, as you can't help but excuse yourself from your traveling companions, saying you'll just be a little while.

So taking you by the hand, the fellow leads you away to a different side of the tavern and away from your friends where you can have an easier time getting to know one another. So finding a spot nearer to the music he pulls up a chair and sits you on his lap, arms around you while he talks with you in an easy fashion as he knows you're drunk, and the both of you can listen to the music and watch similarly inebriated folks try to dance. Again, you know what he's probably after, but it's still a nice experience just to sit there together, feeling his arms around you and hearing him talk about what a catch you are.

>>1437168
>42

You're not in your best senses right now, but you reciprocate the feelings a little. Some mutual fun then as you can get a little frisky together, all within good taste of course in full sight of anyone caring to look, just a squeeze of the leg here, a quick kiss on the neck there. Trying not to giggle while finding it all very funny, and experiencing strange and powerful feelings for the first time. It's a good thing you're eons ancient and an unholy fell being, otherwise innocent, sweet little Amelie the former beggar might just be finding herself taken advantage of this eve. Or maybe not, for all his game he seems a genuine enough fellow, and it's not *as* sinful if devotion and commitment follows.

Ah but you do know better, and you're not so drunk that your mortal self overpowers your demonic self. Overtime with a chance to settle down and marginally, barely sober however small an amount, you accept things won't progress beyond this unless you choose them to. Besides, there are other things on your mind like a favor to be done.

I approve this plan... later. Maybe we'll get to try this new body with the owner. But she might get upset if, instead, we spend the night having fun with a client.
So why not postpone your brilliant idear and wait to see what the "favor" is ?
(Perhaps she'll sell our arse to the clients anyway)

>>1437741
Im down

>>1437741
Seconding.

>>1437741
Well it seems for now you're going to hold off on doing anything, remembering that you owe a favor for the lot of you getting to stay for free. So you continue to play along with the guy but refrain from getting too close and keep an eye out for the owner's wife.

You notice her a few times and she no doubt notices you, but it's when a drinking game starts and her husband is busy, that she actually approaches you with a pinch to get your attention and says she wants your help with something as an excuse to pull you away from the guy. He lets you go but stealing a kiss and with a squeeze of your butt, he says come and find him after if you want some more fun. You can't help but gasp at the offer and feel all warm inside at the idea, though you know it's just your mortal body playing up.

Anyway, you follow after the owner's wife where she leads through to the back of the ground floor, stopping by the kitchen to grab some bottle and checking around at some of the rooms until finally settling on what you would guess to be her and her husband's by the size. Once inside she tells you to sit on the bed and locks the door, before making her way over to you. Taking your hands, she feels and squeezes them, asking if you've ever given a back rub before? It seems the favor she has in mind is you giving her a massage, foot rub, stuff like that. She sounds innocent enough about it at least, like she just wants a chance to relax, have a drink and talk with someone, offering you some actual wine from the bottle she has. Maybe she doesn't have that kind of chance for her husband, or maybe she just wants another woman to talk to. Considering the free room and board though it seems an easy enough favor to you.

She's really not expecting much, she lays down first and removes enough clothes to expose her back, and you do as best you can to ease any stress she's having. Again, like with any skill you might not know it at first but can pick up on it very quickly, and as a first time effort you do quite well as you can tell. From her telling you you're doing a good job or just vocalizations she can't help when you get to a sore area, you satisfy her quite well. After awhile she gets up again and moves to a chair so you can give her a foot rub, while having a cup of wine and offering you one as well. Again you do quite well leaving her pleased, during which time she just talks about this and that and uses you to vent about things. None of it is all that interesting to you, but you know it's for a good trade so you put up with it and serve as a good set of ears.

Aside of that you think to try and maybe use your demonic power to sober up. That's not such a stretch for you to do, however you've only built up a little corruption in the area from your short time here, when you spent with the guy who took a liking to you. A very little amount of corruption, so barely a minute amount of power, but something like sobering up isn't all that hard to pull off. So during the time spent with the owner's wife, go ahead and make a roll to see if you can channel the tiny bit of power here, towards a personal use for the purpose of sobering.

Nothing directly lewd, but enough to give her thoughts.

>>1438341
You don't take things far yourself, just suggestively, like rubbing a little up her legs between focusing on her feet. As well, you also sow seeds of dissent in her stance towards her husband on the matter.

Maybe it's the wine talking, maybe your skill at massaging or maybe you just make a great point, because she seems pretty receptive actually to your suggestions. Both on the matter of her husband, and towards your suggestiveness at taking things further than just a footrub. You can sense she likes what is happening, but won't go as far as asking for more or for you to talk about it more detailed, she just accepts and enjoys it for now.

>>1438355
Push for more slightly
Really slightly

>>1438377
>57

Being a fresh new denizen of the mortal plane, your skills are quite limited as you know. For some things though, it comes naturally like your reading of people. The owner's wife is still a strange but you've already gotten to know her well enough to have a sense of her, and what you can get away with given the situation.

So you continue to push a little more, taking things a little further, all while hiding it under the mask of talking about how she shouldn't put up with anything less from her husband than what she deserves. You make a good effort but it's not as good as it could be, such that it's completely obscure to her. She becomes aware of what you're doing, but you're doing it so well that she doesn't care. Eventually she just leans back in the chair, breathing heavily and accepting of everything you're doing. At this point, while there are obviously some things that would be too much, there's much you could get away with now.

>>1438414
Go back to family fun massage and when it feels right ask if she needs anything else

>>1438414
Get her thinking of helping the locals by trying to become a local bureaucrat.
If women aren't allowed in the government then her trying to get in would cause local strife. Which would put strain on the relations of all in the area.

>>1438456
You could try and sow these seeds of dissent in her, if you present a case for her to believe well enough, and convince her so. Make a roll for the attempt.

>>1438441
You keep going till a high point, where you've moved beyond her feet altogether and are teasing rubbing her thighs, till you suddenly stop cold and just go right back to being nice and innocent. You can tell she's both frustrated and disappointed at this, but can't bring herself to admit that she wanted it, or more. Because of this, you do gain some power from corruption spread.

Rolled 98 (1d100)

>>1438484
Just comment on how unfair it seems that only men can hold office, and how only men can be in positions of power in the church. Like women aren't smart or strong enough to lead. Women lead families, they ensure that the household is taken care of. And isn't that what the government and church do? Care for the welfare of the populous and their souls?

>>1438503
That's some point you're making for sure. We'll lead a women uprising in no time.

>>1438503
>98

These things don't seem unfair or strange to her, like everyone else it's just a way of life for her. You make such a compelling point though, that even if she accepted it and never questioned things before, now she's of a mind to, and even to do something about it.

You're not sure of what success she'll have, but you feel safe in knowing you instilled in her an unholy drive to change the way things are, which may well lead to corrupting differences and rejections of traditions, both cultural and religious. She only wishes you were staying around then, as she recognizes your genius in the matter and that you would make a powerful ally on the subject and supporter.

>>1438512
The seeking of positions of power by the females will cause division and stress on the government and the church. Using the ensuing troubles, we can further our agenda of conquering and soul taking, with less interruption and chance of discovery.

>>1438525
If she'd let us we would like to work here while we get back on our feet

>>1438575
Would you prefer that to going with Celia and Ruben? You can try to convince her to let you stay, though it is closer to Tuileries.

>>1438584
Hmmmm
Ask her if we could after we go with the two of them

>>1438610
You mean leaving with them to their village, and then coming back later? That's a more difficult deal to sell, but you can try to convince her.

>>1438619
Proximity to the initial event is ill advised, we should move further before we set up a base of operations.
We should follow the road till we get to a large city, one with a population large enough to hide our shenanigans easier.

>>1438512
>>1438526
What do you say anons?
>>1438619

>>1438629
>one with a population large enough to hide our shenanigans easier.

Or the other end of the spectrum, a place rural enough that the church doesn't have much a presence. Also possible.

>>1438639
But we want to corrupt the church too.
We want to cause the pure to fall into sin.
We want to help the land fall into chaos.
In the chaos, our actions in both bringing forth more demons and the collection of souls would be less likely to be observed. And eventually we will conquer the planet.

>>1438648
It's worth noting though that if you overstep yourself and break any of the rules of the game, then you won't be shielded from unwanted attention. You're more free than you ever have been, but there's always rules no matter how high you get.

>>1438630
Let's follow Celia and Ruben for Now.
But i also support the idear of getting in another city more than a rural village. Small group of people are harder to corrupt. A city offer multiple opportunity, more people under stress, lonely, isolated.
Preys.

And, by the way. Do we have to do a contract to take a soul ? A ritual ? Can we juste take it out of a victim ?

>>1438672
Wot
>>1438639

>>1438672
This.
And are we gonna do some Rumpelstiltskin stuff to get baby souls?

>>1438679
We can always have a kid of our own

>>1438683
But it would be tainted, but having a blood line would be good though.

>>1438672
As you are now, you are effectively separated from the Hellscape, by your mortal form. So any power or influence you had there doesn't count for anything here. In that way, you can't even make a pact with someone for their soul.

Because of this, right now without any power, you can only corrupt people for the good of the Hellscape, and possibly perform rituals by proxy through them. As you gain power though, your ties to the Hellscape will strengthen and you can do more traditionally demonic things, and even be in communication in a sense. The main goal would be to be able to steal souls for yourself, rather than for the Hellscape.

>Small group of people are harder to corrupt.

That's true, but in a place that doesn't have a church presence, they also have no defense. A city large enough to have something like a cathedral by comparison, will be quite dangerous to you. Though as you said, the prizes are easier and more numerous.

>>1438688
That would largely depend on some factors.

---

Anyway so is the consensus to continue with Celia and Ruben tomorrow to their village?

>>1438712
Yeah

>>1438739
Very well then you decide to stay the course. How then do you want to end things with the owner's wife?

>>1438744
Leave her lusting for more and questioning her sexuality.

>>1438745
That works. So after bringing things to end and finishing with her feet, you ask her if that will be all, leaving her a mix of satisfied, disappointed, and convinced of a grand purpose.

She does thank you though and hopes to see you again, and as a further thanks offers you some better fitting clothes if you like? Also a full set, since Ruben only bought you a blouse and a skirt, so you're lacking things like undergarments.

>>1438752
Accept and bow in thanks
And mention our lack of undergarments

>>1438772
Yes, definitely mention the lack of undergarments. Let her get a glimpse of the goods, very subtle like. Like an accidental flash, but not a direct view.

>>1438772
>>1438779
You've been leaning over her feet for a period of time now, part of her offer for new clothes is because she saw that you were lacking undergarments. Hence her being at least a little hot and bothered now. Before she probably didn't care, peasants only able to afford the most basic clothes is nothing strange, you were just another woman like her. After your little sensual experience though, she definitely cares, and you sense some motive behind her offer.

>>1438788
Oh my
Ask for the clothes then, and ask for a place to change in

>>1438801
You accept the offer for some clothes, which she has from her niece who comes to stay sometimes. She knows she wouldn't mind parting with a set of clothes or two.

For a place to change though, she says why not here? Of course you can seek privacy, but she more or less pulls the "We're all girls here" card and tries to make it not seem like a big deal for her to go as far even as dressing you, claiming she wants to be sure the clothes fit and they might be hard to put on. The bodice for example.

>>1438801
Maby ask for help getting the clothes right, but don't start anything. Let her get even more hot and bothered, and later we direct her urges onto another female? Causing the corruption to spread to others.

Feeling rather accomplished at your corrupting the poor woman, you accept her offer to change right there, as you ever so subtly, innocently undress before her and ask for her help with these new clothes. You manage it so perfectly, making it seem entirely the wife's fault that she is actually overcome with shame and apologizes, refraining from making a move on you. Trying to turn away, she thinks she's taken advantage of you, but all the while you can sense she's on a knife's edge about making a move for you, so overcome she is with your sudden openness and display.

>>1438872
>>1438877
>>1438879
What a cruel heart you have, to take advantage of her at her weakest. A fair punishment this will be, for her helping you.

And so ever so sweetly, ever so innocently, you approach her and take her hand from her eyes in both of your hands, holding it to your chest as you ask her if she's alright. You can sense the lascivious emotions she's feeling and responses her body is having, despite her best efforts to suppress them. Seeing your young and loving face though and your body to match, she can't deny herself anymore. It's nothing sudden though, she simply moves her hand from yours to feel against your chest herself. You of course feign shyness and attempt to stifle a cry from such sensations to your delicate figure, though in part such a reaction is genuine as your mortal form is new to such feelings.

As she moves her hand to your shoulder and with her other feels your face, she leans in for a light kiss to see, how you take it?

>>1438899

>>1438899

How far are you accepting to go with this? Because on her own she probably won't go that far, this is a first time thing for both of you.

>>1438910
Well
As far as she wants to take it

>>1438910
Let's keep it classy, we don't want to be known as a whore before the real journey even begins, we're not some low class succibus.

>>1438910
Okay, let the kiss happen.
Then stay for about another day, subtly act flirtatious with the wife of the innkeeper. Enough that she stays interested, but not actively enough that she knows that we are flirting.

She needs to be the one to initiate the event. Then we get her to be dominate and then she will seek out subservient females to do the same with.
>>1438918
Sex isn't the endgame, the corruption of the matron lady is.
When she is fully corrupt, she will spread more corruption.

>>1438918
>low class succibus.

A very valid point, since you can thrive off any corruption or sin, not just lust.

>>1438916
>>1438925
You decide to let this happen, and let her take the lead in what she wants. Better she condemn herself than be led to it. So you let her kiss you lightly at first, which progresses to more passionate kissing as she begins to feel your body now. Truly amazing since it's both what you want for her to do, but also because it's a wonderful feeling physically and emotionally, things you're not used to. And all the while you remain true to your "self", Amelie, the innocent and inexperienced young thing.

This is a strange and new thing for the wife as well though so she doesn't go as far as you imagine she might have, or hoped. She moves with you to the bed and sits with you to continue her exploring of you, and eventually lays down with you. You can sense how strange, scary, exciting and relieving this is for her (and you feel the same way) but she doesn't go as far as undressing herself. Without you pushing for it, she seems content to just make this about you, as she continues to kiss and feel you up. Your breathing is heavy and your heart races, the both of you, and the body wants what it wants but she's not so bold as to try anything more than that, on her own at least. As such she generally keeps things above the waist, and while she does enjoy taking the freedom with your body, you can sense that she much more just values being able to share this close connection with you rather than the sexuality. Value of the emotional, rather than the physical.

So satisfied as you are, so smug at your success, that you think to have won. What you don't expect though, is for it to feel as good as it does. Your experience in the mortal realm, even the short time, has been an amazing one. All the feelings, all the sensations, compared to the Hellscape where there is only suffering and torment. You thought though, being a lesser demoness rather than just a lowly succubus, that you could deal with it. Cope with the sensations and manage your feelings. Over the time together though as the sensations become more and more intense, you start to realize and now dread that you actually can't hold back, and in this instance you are a slave to your mortal form.

As such, when things reach too great a sensational height for you, you can't help but let out all the emotions and feelings you'd been trying to keep at bay. A cry of pleasure that you fail to stifle, your body tensing to the feelings she's making you experience. You lose your composure in her hands, and feel such shame that you failed where a succubus would have succeeded, that you can't help but cry angrily for real.

The owner's wife though, is shocked by this, immense feelings of guilt overwhelming her at what she's done and how she feels she's taken advantage of a young lady like you. Maybe not as much shame as you but definitely regret as she regains her senses over her lust, and she lets up on you and withdraws from the intimacy rather coldly. You lay together for some time without contact, both feeling disgusted and disappointed, till finally she gets up and gathers up the clothes she was willing to give you. Leaving them on the bed, she says she has to get back to work and tells you to get dressed and leave the room when you can. Before leaving herself, she simply reminds you of the arrangement, the free room you'll have and that you can ask one of the workers where it is, you and your friends to spend just the night.

At that she exits the room, slamming the door behind her a bit, enough that it doesn't shut properly and she has to try again.

Crying angry you scream into a pillow, before you get dressed as best you can with the new clothes. An odd feeling getting used to wearing undergarments now, not as... breezy, so to speak.

You take your leave to look for the owner's wife though but can't seem to find her, at least in any of the rooms you're familiar with. So feeling defeated you just return to Celia and Ruben, the former of whom is passed out in the bench and the latter who is trying to have a quiet game of cards with a fellow traveler. You tell him the situation with the room though and he's fine with ending things here and retiring for the night if that's what you want. He'll carry Celia himself so you needn't worry about that.

It's not that late though, so if you wanted to do anything yourself, you could.

With a continued effort, and asking around, eventually you can find her in the kitchen. Your approach though is not well met, and you get the sense that as guilt as she is feeling, she'd rather be left alone. She does accept your apology, though you can tell it's mostly just to get you to leave her be.

You try to make it better, and you can tell she's deeply conflicted when she quietly responds that she did as well, but she feels like she took things too far too fast. Maybe if you weren't so young and so innocent she wouldn't feel as bad, but you are.

So giving her the peace of mind, you take your leave, to let her dwell in her own feelings on the matter. Along with Ruben carrying Celia, you all find a place in the worker's room, and settle in for the night. You can hear the main area of the tavern still a little lively but you're also dead tired so it won't keep you up. Ruben before going to sleep himself, by candlelight goes over one more time the goods traded and money earned, and during this asks you what it was you did in order to get them this room for free? He's not asking too seriously, just trying to break the silence while the two of you get ready for bed.

>>1439025

>>1439030
Well that's a simple enough excuse, with no mistakable innuendo whatsoever.

So after a long day with much having gone on, you settle into your cot and soon drift to sleep with dreams getting to dance to music while your jealous fellow lesser demons can only watch.

---

The next morning you jolt awake, a strong urge to have to go to the bathroom. That's right, mortals have to relieve themselves of excess waste, something you're still getting used to and forgot to do before going to sleep.

But you did wake up so that's good. Grabbing a chamber pot, you look for some privacy before returning to the room, both Ruben and Celia still asleep. Probably not long before they too awake though, since as you understand Ruben wanted to head out to the wagon to be there for when the carpenter arrived to try and fix the wagon.

Maybe we let our action sink in. We did our thing, now let the human mind do the rest of the work, fantasy are powerful things.

Let's just hang around, maybe some of last night clients are still here ? I don't think following Ruben will do us any good, carpentry is not an intressting subject for corruption - we could seduce a reduction out of the carpenter, but I wouldn't count on that.

SO let's roam around, maybe find a lad ou a lass alone in the wood, maybe a lone goblin to talk to. We have to experience, learn ! Corruption will give us power but knowlege is a deadly weapon when rightly used !

On the other hand, a Tavern is a really good corruption point, we learned about alcohol and it's power - enven on us - can we influence people to want it more ?
Alcohol leads to money, and gold can be corruption itslef ! A roots of sins that can lead even inside the faithfull church.

Two potential things of interest, as you take your leave of the tavern and head into the woods again for a morning stroll. On the way you notice the stableboy heading for the woods as well, likely going to the river again to draw water. Aside of that though, the same group of goblins are by it as well so finding a lone one if you wanted wouldn't be so hard. You also come across a man and a woman by a big old oak stump, conversing together. The woman is dressed normal enough, probably a farmer or something from nearby, but the man has some pretty rough looking clothes for combat and is armed.

An invigorating morning trek through the woods, an amazing sensation as you smell the air and hear the sounds, and cherish being alive and in this plane. Stepping among the grasses and moss, and over the roots of trees and pressing through bushes, you come across the two people having a conversation but decide not to pry. Instead you're curious about the goblin group who've taken up temporary residence near the stream, likely en route to somewhere greater as per their nomadic lifestyles. Little green folks, a strange lot to theology you hail from, you rarely if ever see them in the Hellscape so living ones are all the more interesting.

And so you approach their colorful camp, comprised of various wagons and carriages that are lived in and serve as homes as much as they transport goods. It's still early in the morning but the little camp is bustling with activity, from different folks packing up or unloading things from the wagons, setting about usual morning routines or chores, and more than a few little green children running and playing about. A neat little glimpse into their culture, same as with looking at their mobile homes painted all colorful and with flashy streamers on them, the same even with their clothes of vibrant hues.

As you approach though, some children start to gather and follow after you, and eventually you draw enough eyes as you enter the little camp, that perhaps the closest thing to a guard in the form of a goblin hunter if you had to guess, politely welcoming you to the camp but very bluntly asking your purpose. Apparently most interactions between them and humans aren't entirely friendly. Naturally, a young and pretty human woman just wandering into their camp one morning, is a little suspicious.

The fellow after some consternation, accepts you walking around the place, but says not to cause trouble and to be quick. The last thing they need is a sheriff or something happening by and thinking they kidnapped a human woman.

In the meantime then you decide to play with the kids, who are all very excited to get to see and touch one of the "humes" up close, such as wanting a piggyback ride or to be picked up. As well as lots of questioning and curiosity as you might expect. It doesn't take long though for several goblin parents to approach and call their children away, and one by one the little crowd of green kids thins out till there's only one or two left. Probably whose parents aren't present in the camp at that time.

While you sit and have a nice time with the couple gob children though, a gob lad approaches introducing himself and offering you a tour if you're curious about the camp. You're not familiar enough with goblins to just tell his age by looking but you'd guess probably the equivalent of late teens or young adult. One thing you can tell though, like with anyone, is reading his emotions. Although he presents himself as friendly and helpful, he pretty obviously wants to take advantage of you, probably scam you out of any money or something.

>>1441157
Oh dayum piggy back one of the remaining kids and Princess carry the other one

And accept his offer it's not like we have anything valuable on us

And try to subtly entice him, enough for him to notice it and for the others to note notice

So carrying around the two kids as the goblin lad shows you around their camp as a sort of tour, answering all your genuine curiosity and questions, you have a pretty nice time. He shows you where they work and make things, where they gather goods and eat, even some more strange things like their resident alchemist and fortune teller.

It is during this tour of the camp that eventually you're liberated of one of the remaining kids, only the one sitting on your shoulders left as she braids your "pretty hair". More and more though to have some fun, you have the idea to possibly try and entice the goblin lad to something. Human-gobblin relations don't seem to be the best but you know friendly dealings, even relationships happen sometimes, so maybe you could appeal to him some way or another.

And rather well you manage it, subtly being more open with him, even making physical contact and endearing yourself to him, with hardly anyone else the wiser. Eventually it's clear that you can sense some definite attraction towards you form him as much as he may try to hide it, and you can tell now he's not so much interested in scamming you, as he is just enjoying being around you and the possibility of maybe just a chance at something? He's clearly quite nervous at least, and tries to up his game and impress you for sure, and eventually asks you to bring the gob girl down off your shoulders, to send her on her way to her mother so it's just you and him together on his tour, which now feels more like a show and tell to get you to further interested and close with him.

>>1441331
I don't really think peacfull interacial exange are part of "corruption"... but what are the standard of the church on this ? Do we know if the religion of human is xenophobic ?
Are the goblin pagan or even Heretic ?

>>1441354
Well you can still gain strength from the general sentiment, but it's not the same or as useful as predating upon the faithful. You can still corrupt these folks even if their souls are generally beyond your reach.

The goblins, like the humans, are a varied race. Some have their own ways and faith, others have taken to human ways and faith. Those latter goblins you can benefit from as you would from a human, but this lot of goblins hold to their own ways and their own beliefs. People, and the church aren't fans of this so general attitude towards these sorts of goblins is less than friendly which is why they are nomadic. They might be considered heretics, and can be persecuted for it, but they try to keep to themselves so they're somewhat tolerated. It's something like a general dislike or suspicion, punctuated with periods of violence or persecution, and the goblins just try to get by and have for a long time.

The theology which Amelie hails from though, the dominant religion of this land, isn't strictly a "human" faith. Most if not all humans follow it, but any race can follow it too, goblins included. Now to be sure, the faith is mostly human-oriented and human-centric, but it's not xenophobic to other races who have a genuine belief in it as well. So the stance of the church towards this camp of nomadic goblins, would be about the same as it would if they were humans in the same situation.

>>1441396
Eh
Keep up the same pace and let the remaining kid go, but don't try anything. Let him do the moves

>>1441445
We're corrupting the kid?
I thought we were going after the guard one.

Oh well, lets corrupt the kid.

>>1441458
Wat?
No
We're corrupting the guy giving us the tour

>>1441445
>>1441458
You can sense that without prompting him to do so, he won't act. Partly because of his inexperience, partly because you're human in appearance so there's some stigma there.

>>1441460
Leave him wanting then, finish the tour at the same pace then say goodbye to the nice goblins and leave

>>1441481
Seconding.

>>1441481
>>1441523
Through his inability to take things further, you continue along with the tour and finish it up as where you started. The goblin is expecting something, anything but you thank him and say goodbye to the goblins and take your leave, as simple as that.

You've certainly left the gob waiting for more, and exasperated he tangles with his own reasoning, and finally when you're some distance away you hear him calling after you as he runs over, asking you to wait. He looks quite embarrassed, his face turning a darker green as he looks around at the ground and stammers, quite cute to you. Eventually he's able to mutter that he thinks you're very appealing, and to forgive him but he felt that maybe you felt the same way towards him? You can tell he hopes he's not making a mistake, but that he'd rather not live with a regret of having missed maybe something with you.

>>1441540
Give him a kiss, and leave it at that.

>>1441540
Aw
Now i feel bad
>>1441549
Supporting

>>1441549
>>1441556
Finding his little display and confession to be endearing, you whisper for him to come closer so you can tell him something. Thinking it to be important, he does so earnestly, standing on his tiptoes as you lean down. Nearing closer he expects some meaningful words, but you quickly pull him up for a kiss. His little goblin eyes go wide, and he's so surprised that he doesn't know what to do at first, but by the time he might have reacted you've already let him down. Wiping your mouth a little with a giggle, you thank him again for the tour and tell him it was fun, before waving and skipping off. Or a slower skip at least. He's simply left dumbstruck, clearly in love and standing on a cloud, but too warm and gooey to properly react. Just a longing wave as you exit his life.

You can sense though from his reaction, that you gave him something special, that he'll probably never forget.

>>1441578

>>1441612

So leaving the woods behind, you return to the tavern, in time to see the morning bustle as people awake or newcomers arrive. The kitchen is probably thriving with activity, getting anyone's breakfast who wants it, and the main area of the tavern is decently crowded with folks stuffing their faces with the morning meal.

Eventually you can find Celia, standing up from her chair and waving you over, having gotten and saved you a plate of food and a drink as well. You learn from her that Ruben left already to go see about the wagon, and fixed or not he'll probably be back in an hour or so, at least according to him. Until then, it's just you and her to spend time together. Well, and everyone else in the place too, but she's content to keep to herself.

There aren't any kobolds you can see. You even ask Celia, which she's a bit confused at your odd question, but says that kobolds usually aren't this close to cities. If you're looking for one, you'd have to go out into the countryside, or the wilds.

For out of the ordinary folks in the tavern, there's the orc traveler from last night, two elves showed up this morning apparently, and there's a magic user but that's just an unusual trait, they're actually human.

>>1441958
Magic you say, I'm interested in magic.
Approach, but cautiously lest they detect our infernal taint.

>>1441958
Stay away from that mage
REEEEEEE

Nothing out of the ordinary then, just generic fantasy people,nah we're cool, let's just have breakfast and keep an eye out for the wife

>>1441966
>>1441971
These two choices are conflicting!

>>1442014
Alright, I'll change mine>>1441966
to
>>1441971

Away from the mages. We cant use our magic, we don't want to be spotted by magic. As simple as that. Maybe it don't work that way but magic is not something that works the way you expect it to do.

Let's eat, try to look like a good girl, try to have a word or two with the other clients - after all we might encouter someone intresting.
It's not that Celia and Ruben are boring but, the more options we got, the most possibility of a good one !

>>1441971
>>1442087
For now you decide to stay away from the magic user, yourself too low in power to do anything worthwhile.

So you just sit with Celia and talk with anyone around who's interested in reciprocating. Two interesting folks you happen to meet actually, one is a message carrier for nobility, traveling around to carry letters and such between titled parties. The other you meet is a trader headed for the coast, to hit up one of the port cities there, apparently the rumor is that new goods are coming in from the far east as brought by a foreign power and they are wonderfully valuable. The details are not particularly interesting to you, but the idea of traveling to the coast, basically the farthest away from Tuileries you can get in Almace, is of high appeal. Also, you've never seen the ocean before, you'd love to see all that blue and smell the sea air.

>>1442122
Let's see if the merchant could use a young lady like us. Maybe not a direct proposition, but we can probe in that way.
I don't think the country life with celia and Ruben can offer much possibility. But commercial city on the coast... lots of people, of ethnicity, of culture. We can learn a lot and corrupt a lot !

And travel with a merchant ? I don't think we could go colser to this devil called "money" ! Maybe learn the ways humans bargain. And for those intrested in more lustfull activity : travelling with a man offers a lot of possibility !

>>1442122
Lets talk with the messenger and try to find out the latest gossip.
And try to corrupt him enough we can get at the letters.

>>1442129
>>1442128
Then we could go with the merchant.

And we don't really want to directly act in the corruption, we want to lead others to it.

>>1442132
Good point. But i don't think we have the leverage to do it right now. So why not obtain more power while doing things more directly ?

As for the messenger. We don't have enough political knowlege to use any information he can give us, and, if we're moving away, it won't be usefull anyway.
If he knows a Noble house searching for a handmaid tha could be good, but we're not really skilled in the matter and it will close up a lot of doors.

>>1442128
It's not the worst idea to start small though, just to get used to things. Doesn't even have to be their village, could just be a hamlet, or lone farmstead you take to first.

Just an idea. For the merchant though make a roll towards your success.

>>1442129
For one thing you're expecting to leave within an hour or two depending on the state of the wagon, so you don't have a lot of time with the guy to pry so deep into his business, unless you get creative or clever.

Second, you can't just non-descript "corrupt" people, you can overtime sense their weaknesses and vices, and play upon those. Or you can get lucky and hit on what they're susceptible to. But no, you can't just "corrupt" someone as an action, you have to be more specific in how you lure them into falling.

>>1442134
Let's rool, try to use our new "innocent seduction" to get the merchant attention and speak about how we want to get away and start a new life, maybe asking how"s merchant life.

If my roll is shit, we can still go with Ruben and Celia !

>>1442134
Who wants to feign a injured foot? We can very subtly get the matron to "rub" our foot, and then we can talk to the currier and the merchant.

>>1442138
Don't think we have time for all of that

>>1442139
Only if we want to leave Ruben and Celia.
Then we can try to corrupt the matron more, and then we can try to get passage with the merchant.

>>1442137
Are you trying to gain his sympathy or pity, or interest?

>>1442138
The matron is not going to do this. Partly because of the uncertainty from last night, partly because the wife's owner of the place is not going to be seen rubbing the feet of some peasant customer.

>>1442140
My roll seems to agree with that plan. Let's see what happen and, if it works out, wait to know when the merchant will depart from here.
If we have the time, teasing the matron could be an idear but... letting her cook herself with naughty and gulty trough is not a bad one

>>1442144
Sympathy coupled with a little bit of interest, if he is into innocent girls, that's it. We are not a beggar anymore - at least we don't look like it.

>>1442145

>>1442147
>>1442145
Playing the part of an innocent girl in need, you talk about running away from an abusive situation, and though Celia and Ruben are willing to help you, you'd want a more permanent situation. You also talk about being interested in his work and going to the coast someday. To spice it up you also try to throw in a little, subtle attraction.

It seems your attraction is too subtle actually, however your pity story gains the attention of the merchant. A healthy young lady with no ties or connections and desperate for a way out? That's not half-bad employee material. He asks if you are capable of handling long travel, can work and pull your weight, if your sensibilities aren't easily offended such as possibly not sleeping in a bed or having full privacy at times while living on the road, and perhaps most importantly if you can cook and clean?

>>1442155
How many memories of cooking do we have in this mortal body ? Do we even know the basics or must we start from nothing ?

For the rest, it don't seems like to muche of a burden for us.

>>1442151
Do you think we should push attraction further ?

>>1442155
This seems very interesting, lets go talk with our current troupe and get their ideas, and then we can talk with him further.
Also, ask when he is leaving.
And we can cook, maby ,and we can clean.
>>1442158
We have the entire journey to seduce/corrupt his little mind.

>>1442161
The first roll to cook will be... intresting.
But i approve. Let's bluff for now, in the worst case, we can learn.

>>1442158
None, you came into this world fresh and new, with only the kind of knowledge and experience that you as a demoness has. You never cooked in the Hellscape, so you don't know how to cook here.

Though as you know, like ant skill it's something you can pick up very quickly.

>>1442161
He's leaving today, he literally was only stopping by the tavern to water his horses and will continue on his way shortly.

You speak to Celia since Ruben is not there. She doesn't think it's a good idea since you don't know this man, where he's going or what he has in mind, he could just kidnap you away or sell you. Also she thought you were coming to live with her in her village.

If it's what you truly want though, she thinks it foolish but she wishes you well and will pray for you.

Do you accept the merchant's offer then?

We could go to her village and get them to fall into corruption, and we can work on her and Ruben.
The village would net us our cult.

>>1442174
Well it's a pretty big difference between continuing with her, and going with the merchant.

>>1442174
You really prefer the village ?
I'm good with the two but, as much as I like our little game with Celia and Ruben, I fear the village will not open as many doors as the coastal city. And the farther away from our invocation point the better by my standard.

Trough, i agree that corrupting a village might be doable and bring us a solid cult if we manage it... but the faillure would be a witchunt .

If we go with the merchant, we could plant seeds of corruption in every city we visit. I doubt the corruption needs our direct influence to grow on its own, so it would grow faster than if we were to stay in one place.

>>1442188
That's the idear... and we would acces to a whole lot of Skills along the way.

>>1442178
Do we need a dice for the bluff to the merchant ?

As far as i'm concern, let's tell Celia that we will be better far away from the city and that we don't want to get betwen her and Ruben. Tell her that she's been a great help, that we will remember her - might even really happen.
It's better for us to go, find a job, find a purpose !

>>1442188
You don't need to be present for corruption to spread, if you plant and nurture it like a seed. If you aren't present though, you will probably not benefit from it. Like you won't be collecting any souls form half a country away, unless you actually get them to the point of worshiping you.

>>1442190
You don't need to bluff the merchant if you want to agree to his terms, just that later on if he asks you to do something and you can't, he'll likely be upset.

---

So is the final consensus going with the merchant?

>>1442193
I'm for the merchant.
Except cooking, we can manage all the other aspect of the "contract". An maybe we can even pull of cooking with a little bit of training. I mean, in the worst case, he'll left us at his next stop and we can start over, with a little more experience !

>>1442193
Yeah, merchant
Is he a loner guy? Or does he have a family and stuff and how old is he?

>>1442193
And tell Celia one day we'll return to pay back their help! And that we expect them to be together *nudge* *nudge* when we're back

We're just a poor city girl, we wanna see the world! Life in her village would be nicer but we would only see so much before getting bored

>>1442197
>>1442329
The merchant it is then, as you agree to his terms. He may not have expected you to accept, but your doing so causes him to start considering details in his head and the logistics of having someone else along. Another stop will be made probably to get some neccessary things for you, but in the meantime he says to be ready to go in an hour or so.

Any desires on how to while away your last hour?

>>1442581
Hang out with Celia while he gets ready and stuff, enjoy the little time we have left with her and mention
>>1442331

>>1442592
You spend about your last hour with Celia then, trying not to make it all about goodbyes. You enjoy one another's company and share a heartfelt, tearlful hug goodbye as she wishes you well, and you regret not being able to drive her to misery and bend her soul to service. As a parting gift she also gives you a necklace she has. It's not much or anything valuable, just some string with some little wooden tokens which she made herself, but she's fine with you having it.

You do though remind her of the situation with Ruben. She likes the idea but you're not confident that she'll act, since you never really went as far as prompting her to do so, at least on her own.

Eventually though the merchant comes to fetch you again, as you follow after him with only some extra clothes to your name, to find his own wagon drawn by a pair of horses though quite sparse in the way of goods. You're joined by one other fellow, just a guy looking to visit family in the south, whom the merchant is selling transport to. Just to get you into the groove of things though, the merchant asks you to take inventory of the goods he does have, in case anyone stole anything during the stop by.

Well anyway, the wagon is back on the road again as you head southwards. You take inventory of the goods, nothing too interesting or out of the ordinary. You try to show off doing it as well, which catches the attention of the other traveler with you but not the merchant. Though even then you're not that subtle about it, but he doesn't seem to mind.

So you're en route to travel. Make a roll for the first leg of the journey!

A straightforward enough trip along the road southward, only a small hindrance with bad weather. A severe thunderstorm, you all have to take shelter in the forest since at least the trees offer a little cover from the heavy rain and wind. If the wagon wasn't covered it would be pretty miserable though you do feel bad for the horses.

You're all cold and wet and shoved in the back of the wagon then, eating dry rations since cooking is out of the question. Fortunately the men give you extra blankets so you fare a little better. As unpleasant as an evening it is, do you want to do anything or just tough it out?

Also of course, if you have/had any goals along the way for the journey you can of course specify them.

Despite the circumstances, this is all a new experience for you, and being cold is such a strange concept to you in an interesting way. Still, you try to look miserable.

Well as a healthy red-blooded fellow, you don't even need to play upon his weaknesses, just to make yourself appealing to him. Though under these circumstances, things aren't optimal. The most he's willing to go for is put his arm around you and hold you close. Maybe later on it could lead somewhere, but currently exposed to a thunderstorm and with another person, the merchant right there, you can't expect it to go much further unless you actually try to force it.

>>1442750
Let's just be really close while cuddling, like warm breath on the neck, hands going around him. But not in a slutty way, i still think its easier to corrupt while looking pure.

You turn it from huddling for warmth to actual cuddling, as you draw much closer to him in thanks, wrapping your arms around him, nuzzling your head, your face close to breathe on him, as you thank him for his gentlemanly behavior.

You're able to make it seem very innocent though you can feel his attraction for you deepen, and he'd certainly like to reciprocate the intimacy if there was privacy. The merchant across from the two of you can't help but notice what is going on by now, and seems maybe a little jealous, a little upset, but not all that much. You can tell by now that he certainly likes that you're a pretty young maiden, but he didn't hire you because he wanted to get under your dress. Still, he doesn't raise issue but just shifts in place to lay over more and try to get some sleep.

You're going to be hard pressed to do anything more intimate while seeming innocent, you're snuggled right up to the guy, arms wrapped around him and head against him.

If you actually want to push it you can, but you've about reached the extent of what you can while still seeming like a good girl.

Is the trouser snake out and ready?

>>1443009
We're not here to satisfy his lust, just to nourish it

>>1443013
If he isn't he easily could be. Without you prompting him though he won't take things further. He doesn't want to take advantage of a young lady he's just traveling with, especially when she's the hired help of the person transporting him.

As well, it would be very sinful to do much of anything without a proper relationship, so for his own concern, unless you prompt him enough to cave into lust and lose control more or less, he won't willingly go as far as to blight his soul.

Then

>>1443178
Well trying to see how far you can go with this, you eventually feign falling asleep against him. You take it as slow as you need to, but after maybe an hour or so when the merchant by comparison is well asleep, you "move" in your sleep and end up with a hand wandering to his pants. You try not to make it too obvious, but you don't need to pretend to wake up as he tries to jostle you awake obviously feeling uncomfortable. You take this chance though to make your move, and find your hand's way inside his pants, getting a grip of something. Your first one!

His attempts to wake you up fall by the wayside when it's obvious that you are, but still leaning into him as if you were. He just tries not to squirm or make noise as you you have a go at him. You can sense the conflicted feelings in him and the lust building up, his self-control barely maintained. He wants to stop you, but very much more he doesn't want it to stop. It seems you're in control for the time being, how far are you interested in going?

>>1443226
Give him a hand and leave it at that
If he wants more he can ask
And be quiet, the merchant doesn't need to know

>>1443365
And kiss him for good measure

>>1443365
>>1443376
Keeping quiet all the while, you settle just for giving him a hand so to speak, loving the feeling of him being driven over the edge in your hands. A sticky mess is left over, but you take it all in, a bit overpowering even for you to sense his flurry of emotions and feel his bigger, stronger body against you turned weak by your actions. Even with the thunderstorm still going on, huddled together and after this the two of you are pretty heated and he's left panting. You simply respond with a kiss, which he can hardly process. By whispering, he asks you why? You've only just met, you're practically strangers, but to do this... he thought you were not but an innocent young maiden, but maybe you're an indecent girl. You feel though that despite his words, he doesn't mean this in a bad way, and it's probably all he can make sense of after what you just did with him, and what he happens to whisper to you. It seems he's trying to think of what he did to earn something like this, still believing you to be a sweet young, innocent thing, and maybe he tempted you to this sin with him. None of it is very well spoken or eloquent, but then you did just show him a good time and he's still trying to catch his breath and regain his senses and all.
