Jara and the Valley of Secrets, Part 6

Alright, roll to see if Emry can catch Pickel.

Roll a d10.

1-3: Pickel slips through Emry's grasp and scuttles into the darkness of a nearby room. Jara hears a creak and a slam from within.
4-5: Emry fumbles the grab but Louie catches him. We'll roll to see what Louie does afterwards.
4-5: Emry catches Pickel, but he bites her hand--she drops him on his head, stunning him. We'll roll to see what happens next.
5-9: Emry catches Pickel and throws him to Mad Martha. We'll roll to see what Mad Martha does.
10: Emry catches Pickel but changes her mind--he snaps his neck instead, absorbing his soul to increase her own Elite Demon power.

Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>208073
A solid start. Let's see how this goes.

>>208073
Good ol' Jaraquest.

>>208072
Umm just for my curiousity OP, you fucked up here somewhere right? What were the numbers supposed to be?

>>208152
I did fuck up. 4-5 was originally the Louie catch, then I added 5 for the stun. I wanted two options with possibly weird outcomes. Then that should be 6-9 for the throw to Mad Martha. Oh well.

Pickel scuttles into a nearby storeroom. Emry and Jara follow.

"Help me find him," says Emry. "He can't have gotten far. Help me find him or I will make your life very difficult."

Well guys? Free action time.

Hints/ideas:
> You can just leave.
> You can gather Cornichon and/or Zel first, but be warned--in the time it takes, Pickel might slip away never to be seen again. (We'd roll)
> You can investigate whatever you like.
> You can guard the door while Emry investigates whatever you suggest
> Go nuts

>>208237
Catch the little thing. I am certain that it will be a grand ol' time.

>>208237
Go look round the house for sweet loot, leave pickel to his/her fate

>>208237
>Help me find him or I will make your life very difficult
We saved her and this is how she reacts? We are not putting up with this shit.
That said, we should still find Pickel, so let's do that after she apologizes.

>>208253
Yes, quite, turn of the century or not. Women should act like ladies.

>>208253
Emry seems like a fairly spoiled girl. Who knows why she ran away from the relative comfort of Monolith Town? All we know is she's an Elite, which means she looks down on lesser demons. She probably doesn't even realize she's being rude.

Things you can check in the storeroom, if you're so inclined:

> Paint pots
> Laundry hamper
> An interesting old chest
> Grain sacks
> A barrel

>>208272
>higher caste
>doesn't understand politeness
Your thinking is a bit backward there anonymous.

>>208237
>>208275

Find and catch that Pickel! Empty everything and loot anything interesting

>>208280
She's a demon. This is how they are with each other, especially the Elites towards the wingless masses.

Alright, vote on this post:

> Leave (includes going to get Cornichon/Zel)
> Search a container (name the container)
> Let Emry search a container (name the container)

>>208296
>> Search a container (name the container)
>CHEST

>>208296
Search a container (the chest).

>>208294
Fair enough. If this is the etiquette of this land then it must be abided.
>>208296
Search the chest.

>>208296
Search the chest, and if we find pickel I dont think we should turn him over, not yet anyway.

>>208304
>>208303
>>208301
>>208299
Jara decides to search the chest herself. We'll roll to see how that goes.

>>208304
After seeing the conditions that Pickel's 'wives' were held in, she's already resolved to allow justice to be done (I don't want to revisit the decision)

Rolled 10 (1d10)

>>208319
Stab.

Alright! Jara's going to search the chest while Emry guards the door.

I'll need some rolls. First--where is Pickel?

Roll a d5:

1: Paint pots
2: Laundry hamper
3: Grain sacks
4: Barrel
5: The Chest, and the chest is definitely not a mimic

Rolled 2 (1d5)

>>208336

>>208335
What. Literally what. It didn't even count. Did it. Raughelovft!

>>208339
Alright. One more thing I need to know.

Is the chest a mimic?

Roll a d10:

1: It's a toothy mimic.
2: It's a drain mimic.
3: It's a warp mimic.
4: It's a maze mimic.
5-9: Phew, just a chest full of junk
10: The chest contains a useful item!

Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>208348

godammit, sneaky thread!
And we already have fucked up 2 rolls!

>>208355
Okay, that seems pretty bad.

Jara's a nimble girl though, so maybe she jumps out of the way of its tentacles. Roll a d10.

1-3: Nope, she's caught.
4-5: Louie is caught!
6-7: The tentacles catch Pickel!
8-9: Jara springs out of the way, backing into Emry.
10: Jara jumps on the lid and slams it shut before the tentacles can do any harm.

>>208355
Will Jara's suffering ever end?

Are we dead yet?

It's always the same shitty rolls, but I'm still amazed every single time.

>>208373
STOP WASTING OUR GOOD ROLLS

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>208413
can i waste the bad rolls?

>>208409
I'll explain the drain mimic when the image is ready.

(Don't worry. Death is too easy for Jara.)

>>208415
CAN YOU?

>>208415
JUST STOP ALREADY HOLY SHIT

>>208418
I think we have unlimited stock of bad rolls.

>>208373
Is this the dice God's retribution? Is this my punishment for the salt fest I threw last thread?

>>208415
Evidently not

Rolled 1 (1d10)

>>208423
rolling for bad rolls.

>>208428
That's just the dice gods trying to confuse us.

You are only making your dead slower and more painful, Dice Gods.

>>208428
>>208435
Well, I mean, that's a pretty accurate roll. We got a 1, the worst possible d10 roll, for our roll luck. Or roll luck is 1 and we will apparently have maximum bad rolls.

I forgot to ask--roll a d2. This is important.

1: Headfirst.
2: Assfirst.

Even the dice gods love our ass

>>208456
>>208458
>>208461
>>208464
Is this good? Can a Mimic be an Ass-Chest? Maybe it will stop suddenly because it wouldn't want to harm such a fine ass

>>208458
OH NO OUR RELIGION.

>>208476
OK, well, a better question would probably be: do mimics have souls? If so, hopefully this one is a reincarnation of an Ass-Man

Jara is manhandled Ass-first into the body of the mimic. Louie lets out a muffled wail. The tentacles are hot and squirmy. Her ass begins to itch all over, where the tentacles lap against her.

Pickel peeks out of the laundry basket. "Oh no!" he says. "That's an Ass-Drain Mimic! He's my pet...my father kept him around...he liked flat asses! I can help you out of this, but you'll need to help me...you'll need to hide me from that girl!"

You have plenty of options here.

> Call to Emry to get help.
> Optionally, tell her where Pickel is.
> Accept Pickel's deal--though it might be a trick.

Time is a'wastin'. The Ass-Drain Mimic will soon begin to consume Jara's ass. But there's another possibility--what if her ass is too much for it? Dare you risk finding out?

Important decision time!

>>208531
>Dare you risk finding out?
YES.

>>208531
Fickle it
The gods love our ass

>>208531
Accept Pickel's deal. When she's out, tell him to hide in your ass. Then betray her and give her to Emry.

> Optionally, tell her where Pickel is.

CONVERT THE CHEST TO AN ASS LOVER.

>>208531
Sure, we'll hide Pickel.
Inside the mimic.

>>208531
Let's overwhelm it with our ass powers.

Alright, I gotta run for the evening--however, use this post to vote when you are ready (or come to some cosensus together)

> Ask Emry to get help
> Tell her where Pickel is
> Accept Pickel's deal
> Take your chances with Ass Power

Be warned, this is an Ass-Drain mimic. It consumes Ass. Now, technically it might be able to restore her ass to its original size! On the other hand, it might go too far...

>>208531
Call Emry to help. Don't tell her where pickle is or she would be distracted.
After we are saved, THEN tell her where the little shit is.

Pickle can not be redempted. She might be genuinely trying to help but I'm not taking a chance with her agin, definitely with our luck.

and DONT LET THE MIMIC TASTE OUR ASS HO,Y SHIT GUYS
You KNOW we will have to roll for the mimic being an ass-lover. (Although we are lucky with those kind of rolls.)
Our ass is our only asset, we can't afford to lose it.

>>208568
I agree.

>>208568
Backing this!

>>208561
>Take your chances with Ass Power
That's my vote.

>>208531
Don't risk our ass! accept pickel's deal

>>208561
> Ask Emry to get help

>>208568
The mimic has to deal with Louie before our ass, this should reduce the risk of losing our ass significantly.
I'd take the chances.

>>208561
>>Take your chances with Ass Power

>>208561
Ass power trumped the inate violence of demons once. I trust it will convert this mimic.

>>208561
Take Pickels deal, we can't lose out ass

>>208561
> Take your chances with Ass Power

By the Power of Asstolicism!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dJolYw8tnk

>>208531
The power of Jaras ass repells the mimic! Pickels newly aquired flat ass will need to suffice

Wait, I just realised, can't we just have Louie bite the mimic?

>>208858
he needs to recharge his venom

>>208885
Just biting, no venom, could still work.

>>208561
Wait, is Jara's Ass Power recharged yet? Did she end up quaffing the ketchup earlier or not?

Or is the ass power in this case just our prophetic ass and not actually our 'Ass Power' special ability thing?

>>208934
OP here. Jara did quaff the ketchup. Her Ass Power is available, however it only works on Ass Men. You can ask if somebody is an Ass Man any time you like.

This mimic consumes Ass, but it does not appreciate Ass in the same way an Ass Man does. It would not have the same hypnotic power over it.

>>208568
OK, I third this then

>>208335
What a waste

>>210283
Wasting a roll
dice+d10

>>208561
>It might go too far
Stupid sized ass time, do it

>>210283
There goes our 1 good roll

>>208568
Agree, save the ass

>>210560
Stupid small

>>208531
Take a dump in the mimic. It's my fetish.

This is what I think will happen with each option:

> Ask Emry to get help
At best she'll actually help and we escape the mimic, at worst she doesn't help and we lose our ass or the mimic gets her, we both lose our butts and while we are inside the mimic Pickel escapes.
> Accept Pickel's deal
At best we escape the mimic thanks to Pickel, at worst it's just Pickel fucking with us and something bad happens, which may include us losing our ass.
> Take your chances with Ass Power
At best we just escape, at worst we either lose our ass or it works too much and the mimic gives us more ass. In case it works, we'd need to recharge ass power.

I'd go with ass power, our ass rolls have been pretty good so far.

>>210833
We can exchange Pickel's location after Emry helps us from the Mimic. If she doesn't agree to that, then we can try ass power.

>>210842
I considered that, but in the time it takes to convince her the mimic can drain our ass, so there's no guarantee we could try ass power.

>>210850
If OP considers it a free action it could work.

"Hey Emry if you help me from the the mimic I'll tell you where Pickel is."

"No"

Takes like 5 seconds.

OP here. Let me clarify/deepen the conundrum. Votes will be counted in an hour.

TUTORIAL: Ass-Drain Mimic Encounter
> The mimic has the initiative here. Nomatter what, it will attempt to consume Jara's ass first.
> The Ass-Drain Mimic has a 1/4 chance of consuming Jara's ass entirely. It's all or nothing. For each action you take that does not free Jara, it gets another turn.
> Jara may attempt to use Ass Power in the hope that it overloads the mimic. This will only work if her ass is not consumed first. Even then, we will need to roll to decide on the outcome, which will be a spectrum of possibilities. Doing this will not make an enemy of Emry.
> Jara may ask Emry for help. If she is not inclined to help, she may just run away, or ignore Jara. If she is inclined to help, there will be a roll with a spectrum of outcomes, mostly good.
> Giving up Pickel means that Emry will be 100% inclined to help.
> If you trust Pickel and take that option, he can get you out of the Ass Mimic in one turn. But you have a high chance of making an enemy of Emry if you try to lie or sneak him out. Who knows what that will mean down the line?

>>211425
Lets Ask Pickel for help.
We just met this embry bitch..

WE AINT LOSING OUR ASS
DONT TEMPT THE DICE GODS

>>211447
We could ask Pickel for help and then betray her to Emry afterwards. There shouldn't be any repercussions as long as she kills Pickel, which is what was voted for to begin with anyway

>>211447
We also just met Pickel, and he didn't leave that great of a first impression, especially for Louie. I say have Emry help us, we can sell out Pickel afterwards depending on how much of an ally/threat she seems to be

>>211425
Let's ask Emry for help then. I agree with >>211546

>>211447
seconded

"Hey! Girl! We don't have all day here! I need to get home and get a bath--there's no time to be messing around with tentacle monsters! Have you found the little pervert or not?"

Let's count the votes and find out.

>>211628
Whups, accidentally exported at a massive size...

Okay, the votes (as I interpret them) are as follows...

> Ask Pickel for help IIIII
> Ask Emry for help IIIIII
> Use the ass IIIII
> Actually shit in the mimic I

It seems that asking Emry for help wins the vote. Additionally, of the people who want Emry's help, most seem to want to hold back info on Pickel's location.

Well, that feels like it's time for some rolls.

First of all, it's the mimic's turn. Roll a d4.

1: Jara's ass is drained and all is lost.
2-4: Louie successfully fights the tentacles off.

Rolled 3 (1d4)

>>211655
There we go.

Rolled 4 (1d4)

>>211628

>>211660
>>211661

>>211660
>>211661
No problem!

Alright, Jara calls to Emry for help without saying anything about Pickel.

Roll a d10.

1-3: "What? No, I'm not getting myself dirty...are you kidding? What if it touches me?"
4-5: "Alright, I guess I can get your friends..."
6-10: "Well, I guess you saved me...give me your hand, quickly!"

(Sorry for the delay)

>>211710
And this is where we fuck up.

Not rolling to let others play.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

DICE GODSSSS!!!!

>>211736
FUUUUUCKKK
Guess the dice gods don't want to lose the ass.

>>211736
>>211747
they are only merciful when our ass is in danger... mmm...

>>211736
Emry darts across the room and grabs Jara by the wrists. She plants one foot on the lid of the mimic and pulls.

(The mimic does not get a turn here--that would only happen if she had gone for Jara's friends, or ignored her pleas.)

Okay, let's see how successful this is...roll a d10...

1-2: A tentacle lashes out and pulls Emry into the chest alongside Jara.
3-6: Emry pulls, and Jara can feel the tentacles begin to slip. We'll enter into a roll war with the mimic.
7-9: Emry pulls Jara free!
10: Emry pulls Jara free and the Mimic is turned inside-out, spilling decades of collected Ass Energy into the immediate area.

Rolled 5 (1d10)

>>211770
Surely if it's ass related I'll roll high enough.

> Players will roll d10s until they beat the mimic's roll.
> So if I roll a 5, players must continue to roll until they get a 5 or higher. One roll at a time please.
> If the mimic is not beaten in the first roll, it gets a chance to consume Jara's ass. As it is fighting, the chance is only 1/8.
> If Jara's ass is consumed or the mimic is beaten, she will be freed.
> If the mimic consumes Jara's ass, it may become dangerously powerful.

The mimic is beaten on the first roll!

Jara and Emry tumble free of its grasp.

Jara's backside is intact!

I need one more roll before I draw. In the commotion, does Pickel escape?

Roll a d3.

1: Pickel darts out the door in a cloud of dust.
2: Pickel attempts to run, but stumbles first, and Emry sees him as he runs out the door
3: Pickel remains in his hamper.

How long does it usually take for OP to reply?

He's probably drawing the next scene atm

>>211958
Not usually this long.

I can't draw for shit tonight lads. Something is amiss. I think I'm going to can it for tonight and start fresh tomorrow.

>>211968
My advice is to find passion in your drawing OP. It can be easy to get bogged down in technical details. Find something in the drawing that either shows something you really love, or really hate, let that passion fuel your art.

Or can it for the night. Either's fine I guess.

>>211968
Night OP! see you tomorrow.

Damn. I was hoping the dice gods would be in our favour and give us MEGA ASS.

Any chance the QM will do a bonus picture and show us how Jara's MEGA ASS would've looked?

We, we fucking did it. The dice gods really do favour ass, this is the best the rolls have ever gone in combat what the fuck.
GG

Holy shit, nice job you guys. Man oh man, whenever our ass is directly involved or in danger, the rolls go incredibly in our favor. It's un-fucking-real. I mean, in every other case, our rolls are complete dogshit, but at least we can rely on our ass. Truly Jara's ass is a shining beacon of hope in this world of damnably bad rolls

>>213703
-Jara got herself a huge ass
-She wants to get rid of it
-She dies and is reincarnated in the demon realm, so now there is Original Jara's ass and Demon Jara's ass
-Demon Jara wants to get rid of her ass (also go back to her body)
-She's turned into a statue, so her ass is conserved for 1800 years
-Every not ass-related roll is bad because Jara wants to turn her ass back to normal
-Every ass related roll goes just right

We have been calling them dice gods, but they are actually ass gods.

>>213744
Oh, they're certainly asses, I'll give you that.

He's just been busy the past two days. He had to work late and was tired on Thursday, and on Friday he was getting drunk and smoking meat with friends. He said it'll resume today, I'd guess probably around the usual time, 22:00 UTC.
