Apologize for not being able to protect her.
But restate that she still has to go to Disneyland.

Ask what happened after we got killed.

I can't decide if we suck or rule at this.

...Is there even a difference?

"What about the others?" you ask.

". . . Reginald managed to get away, I think," Alicia says, as she curls up in a ball in the corner, hugging her knees to her chest. "Last I saw him, he was organizing a defense of the upstairs hallway with the other girls. I don't think any of them got caught."

"Then how did you. . ."

"Because I was trying to recover your damn body," Alicia snaps. "Obviously, I failed, which is why we're both here."

>>10084316

If Enstien is right, we suck so hard we come back the other way as winning.

>>10084316
We failed to save Alicia... We suck.

Anyway, let's try and get out of here. We'll make it up to Alicia later.

Hopefully they didn't take her second virginity too.

>>10084316
They look exactly the same, up until Day 30. Then we find out if we hit all the flags for the best ending.

>>10084278
This is, technically, Part XXX. The previous thread was XXIX.

And we need to apologize for fucking up.

>>10084332
>second virginity

To clarify, I mean the butt.

So, when's that magic gonna start kicking in again?

Calling it now. Our exit strategy is to steal a demon car, ramp it right out into the middle of the pit, then cast Feather Fall.

>"Because I was trying to recover your damn body"

>my face

>>10084327
Stare at her.

"...really? Of course really, you have no reason to lie... thanks."

Moment of silence.

"So, about busting out of here..."

>>10084327
>"Because I was trying to recover your damn body"
Mission success.

Now let's get the hell out of... Hell.

>>10084339
Addendum: In light of >>10084327
Also thank her for trying.

I'm guessing our magic will kick in after we storm through hell, kick everyone ass, and return to the mansion for a nice nap.

>>10084305
". . . I'm sorry," you say.

"Not your fault," Alicia sighs. "No, wait. . . what's the opposite of that again? Oh yeah. It IS your fucking fault. Why the HELL didn't you just let them take me?"

>>10084332

I'm not too worried. She's a goddamn LUST Demon, after all, and in Hell... yeah.

>>10084327

"I guess we're both complete idiots. Let's use our idiocy to try and get out of here. Do you know where we are?"

"If we get out of here, and I somehow come into ludicrous amounts of power, remind me to "repay" HOGO."

>>10084397

>Why the HELL didn't you just let them take me?"

"Perverts move in mysterious ways. Now shut the fuck up. I'm gonna try and pull a Deus Ex Machina, and the more you prattle the harder it will be."

>>10084397
"It's my fault you got caught because I didn't let you get caught immediately? Nigga, you just went full crazy."

>>10084397
"Why the HELL didn't you just let them take my body? I was dead. I'm pretty sure your contract didn't apply."

>>10084417

This, plus add in something about promising to take her to Disneyland as well.

>>10084403
>>10084371
>>10084357

"I can't let you do that," you say. "I haven't taken you to Disneyland yet."

"Fuck Disneyland. You're obsessed with Disneyland," Alicia snaps in reply.

There is an awkward moment of silence.

"So, about getting out of here. . ."

"Impossible," Alicia says. "We're in the dungeon of HOGO's tower. Since he's the one that killed you, he got first dibs. He's an idiot, but his security seems. . . secure."

>>10084397
"... Alicia, I like you. Even though you're kind of a bitch, and you did try to eat my soul that one time... I still like you. You're cute, you're obviously smart, and when you want to be, you can be a nice person.

I couldn't just leave you like that... I had to do something.

I'm sorry for failing you."

Our magic is tied to our ancestor's or something. We're pretty much in exactly the type of situation that they wanted to guard against. Probably safe to say we can manage to bind/summon demons and things with our bloodline. Alternately it manifests more along our gaming/trolling nature. Disbelieve the chains.

Start doing the safety dance. Just because you can.

>>10084429
>that picture

>>10084397

"Why the HELL did you PISS AWAY THE ENTIRE POINT OF MY SAC- TACTICAL MANEUVER? Fucking dumbass..."

What ever happend to those blood trait powers? lets blast out of hell like a boss

She's s demon of sex, i don't think she minds much she was raped, that's if she can be raped

>>10084419

"I'm not talking about getting CAUGHT," Alicia says, frustrated. "I'm talking about YOU getting involved! You were supposed to let them take me, so that you could give Katherine her cure! Now you're dead, you're in hell, and Katherine's not going to get cured any time soon! You're such a. . . a. . . DOUBLE IDIOT!"

>>10084443
"Alicia, while I appreciate your attempt to be realistic here, let's stick to 'highly unlikely'. 'Impossible' stifles creativity and gives license to stop looking for that rare chance when it does come."

>>10084443
Roll to disbelieve?

>>10084443

You should know better than to say "impossible" around me. And don't you dare badmouth Disneyland, it's the place where dreams come true.

>>10084487
>You're such a. . . a. . . DOUBLE IDIOT!

Oh. No. She. Didn't.

>>10084487

"We play for ALL the cards, bee-otch."

>>10084487
"Well I'm just going to have to get us both out of here again, aren't I? As a double idiot, I should have plenty of dumb luck left. Of course I'm open to ideas too, if you have anything."

>>10084503
>>10084493
>>10084486
>>10084447
>>10084507

"Impossible is such a big word," you say. "Let's stick with. . . highly unlikely."

"Well, unless you've got some kind of miracle powers and you can just magic away these chains, I don't really think that. . ."

> BLOODLINE HIDDEN TRAIT ACTIVATED
> You cast: DISBELIEVE on the chains
> You take 2 damage (18 remaining)

And as she says that, the chains suddenly vanish from your wrists, and you fall down onto the ground.

>>10084487
Says the one who got captured while trying to get my corpse. What did you want with it anyway?

it's time to awaken our magic and walk the path of Moros

>>10084540

Bam, let's rock.

>>10084549
>>10084423

Banking this question.

>>10084487
"Did you honestly think we'd let them take you? I mean, seriously?"

And we need to get the fuck out of these chains. Goddamn.

>>10084540
Awesome! Use disbelieve on her chains. Also her injuries. And her broken hymen.

>>10084540
"Well would you look at that? I guess I do." Unshackle her and see if we can disbelieve ourselves out of this cage .

>>10084570
YES! CAST RENEW HYMEN!

>>10084540
Awesome.
It's time for some macross style magic missile massacre.

>>10084559
Awesome seriously look at hands, utter a "Fuck yeah" and go on a magic killing spree

IN HELL

>>10084557
>>10084553

All right, here is how your new powers work.

Your magic basically works as a localized shift of reality. The more you try to do, the more damage you take. This damage cannot be healed except over time.

Also, there is a chance of a backlash, the more powerful of a spell you cast. This starts at 1 in 6 for lower level spells, like what you have. The more times the magic backlashes, the more you start to lose sanity.

In short, your magic can do just about anything. . . for a price. Use it wisely.

>>10084540
Obligatory wrist-rubbing.

Hug Alicia, apologize profusely.

>>10084444

This should work.

Help her up and let's get the Hell (pun intended) out of here.

>>10084592
Cast Renew Hymen.

Ask if she wants that first.

>>10084540

Yell out DISNEYLAAAAND! And then totally blow out the doors.

Gentlemen... it's time to cast a spell.

I think you know which one.

>>10084583
>look at our hands
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance

>>10084540
Waggle our eyebrows.
"Any other bright ideas?"

>>10084540
"You were saying...?"

>>10084609
Keikaku doori!

>>10084540
"Did you just do tha-you know what, nevermind, we'll figure it out as we go. And we're gonna go now."
Reach over and give her a quick reassuring hand on her arm, then try to break her chains as well (strain and refuse to allow them to hold her, break with magic if necessary). Start peaking outside the cell.

>>10084609
Genocide spell? I'm not sure I'm ok with risking it.

>>10084609

...But I don't know which one. ;_;

>>10084592
Ah... hmm. Not great for blasty but still pretty handy. Assuming that we noticed that the thing we did actually hurt, let's see if we can undo her chains manually.

Otherwise, just imagine us both back in our room and not in hell.

>>10084605
Um, we should wait until we are out of hell. Lot's of chances for that to go to waste, after all.

>>10084602
>>10084583
>>10084580
>>10084577

You look down at your hands and blink in surprise. "What the fuck. . ."

Alicia just stares at you. "How the hell did you. . ."

A moment later, you snap your fingers, and her chains disappear.

> 3 damage, New Spirit total is 15

". . . well," you say. "This is unexpected."

As you sit there in the cell contemplating this new turn of events, you hear the dungeon door, down the hallway, slam open. "HONEY, I'M HOME!" HOGO roars. "COME OVER HERE AND GIVE ME A KISS!"

>>10084646
>>10084648

"I prepared Explosive Runes this morning."

>>10084661
Disbelieve his penis.

>>10084664

...I feel like a sad panda now for not getting that until just now.

>>10084661
quick invisibility

>>10084661

So...how bad would the backlash of insta-killing a demon be?

>>10084661

Hmm. What is Alica's status? Did the demons take her "souls" or whatever? Is she now without magican ability?

Could we conceivably turn Hogo inside-out and walk out of here with his head tucked under our arm? I mean, who would dare fuck with us?

Disbelieve his eyes

>>10084688
You'd be bidding 3d6 damage and a 4+ chance of backlash. Demons are powerful magical beasts, immediately blasting one out of existence is TOUGH, especially in hell.

>>10084661
Blink up an illusion of an army

Actually? nah, fuck it just blink her out of here he'd be plenty pissed, but then we'd blink him a giant cock

suddenly we have a fire demon BFF

>>10084677

You should. You really should.

>>10084675

>Disbelieve his penis.

AAAAW SHIT NIGGA. I like the way you think.

>>10084675
No, believe it is the size of a peanut.

>>10084704

soooo what'd be the roll to make his cock vanish?

>>10084661
Crawl up above the doorway (and if we can't step to the side of the door so that if it slams open we'll be fine but still over to the side and out of immediate view). Ready our ass-gun or anything we may have. Points for attempting to jam it up his ass before firing with some one-liner about payback being a bitch.

>>10084712
>>10084706
>>10084675

Castrating HOGO magically will bid 2d6 damage and a 5+ chance of backlash. Confirm?

>>10084661
Okay, we need to accomplish as much as possibly with as little change to the environment as possible, right?

...shit, I've got nothin'. Invisibility and make him think we already escaped, maybe?

>>10084712
Seconded! What will that roll be like? Can we burn XP to boost numbers?

>>10084680
Fuck invisibility. Sacrifice 10-14 spirit on the nastiest damage spell we can manage as soon as he gets into sight.

>>10084724
5+ on a d6, right?

>>10084724
What if we just relocated his penis somewhere else on his body? Like say inside his anus. Would the backlash be less?

>>10084675
>>10084712
>>10084721

I laughed too hard at this...

Swiftly ask Alica if Hogo can read.

And then, after making sure that no lower-level demons wander the corridor, we politely label the door with that low-difficulty, big effect spell.

And THEN we leave.

>>10084724
A daemon is 2/3 dick?

Good to know.

Cast spell to Bind the demon. Have him escort us out of Hell. Then give him as a toy to Alicia.

>>10084724
DO EEEEEET!

>>10084724
No.

Go to the back wall of the room, then change our location so that we're on the other side of it. So that we're probably outside. Hopefully that short of a range won't warp reality much...?

>>10084724

>5+

NO NO NO. Cannot risk that, WAAAY too high.

Can we do something BESIDES fuck with the demon? Like get out?

>>10084724
No way

DM just said "Use wisly!" we're going to pop his dick off with black magic? fuck that do something cool or badass instead

blink a sword in your hand that excells in fire demon penor removal that way we still remove his junk and we have an effective weapon too

>>10084724

Wait, how the hell does that have more of a chance to backlash than vaporizing him? +3, maybe, but +5? What the crap?

>>10084724
No, it wouldn't be enough. If it were easier I'd say blackmail our freedom for his restored penis, but it's too costly.

How much just to believe him in here chained up, with us outside the cell?

>>10084743

"Can Hogo read?" you ask Alicia.

". . . I think so. At least, he should be able to read Abyssal," Alicia says, slightly confused.

>>10084727
Well, we could try for a short-range teleport with the both of us I guess. Hop forward just as he opens the cell so that we're behind him without him noticing, then proceed to hide/slam door shut. But those aren't likely to allow us to exact revenge on her part or help her to do so.

>>10084724
how much for Invisibility?

>>10084755

Oh, that's a good idea...

and then we can leave a polite "out for lunch" note on the wall. With... runes.

Seriously, we can't just run out without leaving Hogo a parting note.

>>10084766

It's 5+. As in 5 or higher on 1d6

>>10084661
"ZAP, MUTHAFUCKA!"

So how much would we fuck ourselves up by zapping him?

And we're gonna have to get Alicia to teach us magic now so we have a way of killing others without ruining ourselves in the process.

>>10084772
>>10084771
Invisibility is 1 damage, no chance of Backlash
A short-range teleport is 1d6 damage, 6+ backlash, 5+ if you try to take Alicia with you.

>>10084766

It's a called shot.

>>10084761

Not a bad idea, though... it'd probably be easier to enchant a weapon we already have. ASSGUN is probably with us, and perhaps our knife.

What sort of damage would we take to disbelieve hell itself.

>>10084768
Short-range teleport, but leave a note behind!

"Sorry to steal your prize, Hogo, but I couldn't resist when you left her wide open. Better luck next time.

-Shantak"

>>10084768
Replicating a low level spell should be an easy job I hope? Let's explosive rune this bitch up. We can probably make it in abyssal too, even if we don't know it.

Make sure it takes out enough of the place that we can escape.

>>10084802

I take every die I own and roll them. That much damage.

>>10084809
Make sure that note has an explosive rune on it and you've got a deal.

Castration is too good for the bastard. We should capture him and take our time with revenge, once we're out of hell.

>>10084809

Hoho, I like the cut of your Jib!

I say we become invisible, and try to escape in some way. If we need to, we can teleport.

>>10084809
Or possibly use invisibility instead with the note, since there's less backlash and damage that way.

>>10084798

>Ask Alica how to spell a single word in Abyssal

>cast Explosive runes on the outside of the door.

>invisibility

>politely let ourselves out while Hogo, dimwit that he is, assumes he's been totally punk'd

>>10084782
Then let's do it.

>>10084809
Oh! This, but don't even teleport, turn invisible!

>>10084809
magnificent

>>10084809
Fucking this!

>>10084802
All of it. Twice.

>>10084809

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCKING YES.

Only problem is, we need to write this in Abyssal for maximum effect, and we're short on time. Leaving that note- in explosive runes- would be fucking genius.

>>10084799
possibly some remnants of the chains as well. But some type of surprise violation of the demon's ass with a magic weapo
Actually, you know what? Invisible the both of us and cast the Exploding Runes. Make it say something about the Ice demon deciding that a demon with such a small dick shouldn't have first dibs.

>>10084858
Just get our Tsundere-Daemon to write the actual words for us.

>>10084865
>>10084872

This. This works.

>>10084809
this but use Invisibility on the two of us

>end of last thread- our gambit fails, we die, loli gets demon raped

>fifteen minutes later, the most epic troll to date in the quest is about to go down

Looks like Goshujin is editing the post he just made.

THERE WAS A POST, I SAW IT.

WHY WAS IT KILLED?

Seems you assholes want to go Vaarsuvius on him, so. . .

You take a moment to conjure up a note, grab Alicia, and concentrate on being somewhere else. A moment later, you hide in the corner of the room and turn invisible.

As the door opens, HOGO walks into the jail cell and looks around. "WHAT THE FUCK. . ."

He picks up the note and reads it.

"Sorry to steal your prize, Hogo, but I couldn't resist when you left her wide open. Better luck next time.

-Shantak"

"P.S. I prepared Explosi--"

> HOGO takes 8 damage

>>10084926
>>10084927

Because, citizen. IT MUST BE MOAR EPIC.

>>10084943
We are classy trolls.

Wait for him to stomp off, try and keep our snickering under control.

>>10084943

Now wait for him to get the fuck out of our way, and then we get the fuck out of here.

>>10084943
We damn well will not laugh at the demons face (and it exploded with magical force and not fire, please let us have that). If he doesn't seem to be going for it, prepare to create the sound of Shantak laughing off in the distance.

>>10084943

> You have taken 3 damage
> You have suffered backlash

-----
HOGO storms out of the dungeon screaming in rage as he grabs a random imp and smashes him against the wall. You don't understand everything he says, but it seems he's pissed at Shantak.

The moment he leaves, you quickly undo the invisibility spell and smile at Alicia. "That felt good," you say.

"That was stupid," she replies. "If he'd even taken a moment to do a magic sweep, we would have. . ."

"Ah, but HOGO's an idiot. I was sure he wouldn't. . . woah."

You sit down, hard, as a moment of dizziness passes over you.

>>10084943

YES! THIS IS DELICIOUS!

>>10084984
Sway on feet.

"Alicia... I can't keep this up forever. The door's open, and our jailer thinks we're gone; can you get us out of Hell?"

>>10084984
Sit down, clutch head. Maybe Alicia will feel a twinge of sympathy for us.

But then, maybe not.

>>10084984
No more funky spells for a while. Wait until he's clearly left to go after Shantak, then put on our robe and wizard hat and make our escape.

>>10084984
"I... I don't feel so gooood. I don't think I've quite got the hang of making Reality my bitch just yet...
But we probably need to get out of this cell, just in case he has that magic sweep done sometime soon. Don't suppose you know the place? You may have to lead for a bit..."

Ask Alicia how do we exactly get out of hell? It's not like we're going to take the helicopter like last time, though we could conjure one if it didn't incur to much of a penalty. Do we conjure a portal or something?

>>10084984

We still need to get out of here. Let's get our bearings together, and then conjure a weapon (I'm thinking enchanted sword) and let's try to sneak out.

>>10084984

Draw ASSGUN.

LEAVE CELL.

>>10085001
>>10085002

> "Alicia... I can't keep this up forever. The door's open, and our jailer thinks we're gone; can you get us out of Hell?"

"I. . . I don't know," Alicia says. "I'm kinda beat up too. . . but I'll do what I can."

She puts her arm around you and tries to help you to your feet, then helps you out the door and into the hallway. The tower seems to be completely empty.

Out the window, you can see HOGO leading a huge horde of demons out of his tower and across the plains. There are a lot of weapons and war banners in evidence.

I predict that we will go crazier than a Cultist of Azathoth before this quest is over.

Let's try not to use any more magic for as long as possible, mmmkay?

We're down to 12 spirit if I'm roght, better make it count.

"Sorry to say this, but I'm not quite in condition to lead us out of here. Besides, you know Hell better than me anyway."

>HOGO storms out of the dungeon screaming in rage as he grabs a random imp and smashes him against the wall. You don't understand everything he says, but it seems he's pissed at Shantak.

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Pic entirely related.

>>10085031
... Wow. He's even dumber than he looks.

Well, that makes our sneaking mission a lot easier. Let's go.

>>10084984
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. WE NEED TO GET THE FECK OUTTA HERE & WE CAN'T MAGIC OURSELVES TO DEATH. REDEATH? DOUBLE-DEATH?. A PLAN WOULD BE EXCELLENT.

>>10085031
I have the sudden urge to make absolutely sure HOGO knows that we made an utter fool of him and do something to his throne room or something. Maybe we can leave a single peanut sitting on top of his throne (if the room is empty) before we go.

>>10085031

>Out the window, you can see HOGO leading a huge horde of demons out of his tower and across the plains. There are a lot of weapons and war banners in evidence.

I have a mechanics question: can our bloodline power get more powerful over time? Like more points, less backlash, so and so forth?

>>10085061
>leave a single peanut sitting on top of his throne
If the risk wasn't so high I'd be all for this.

>>10085031

>Out the window, you can see HOGO leading a huge horde of demons out of his tower and across the plains. There are a lot of weapons and war banners in evidence.

DO. NOT. FUCK. WITH. OUR. MAIDS.

ESPECIALLY IN THE LITERAL SENSE.

Also, if the fortress is this deserted... ask Alica how long we have before Hogo makes it to Shantak's place. I.E. how long do we have before the first possibility of the ruse being discovered.

Because if we have time... and a mostly deserted fortress.. I say we take a memento with us before we go. Something for that shit-sucking ball-licker to think about the next time he thinks he can pull shit on the material plane.

>>10085031
We could probably do with some clothes too...

>>10085061
Oh, and consider pointing out to any demons we don't manage to avoid that there's a mostly empty demon lord castle for the taking.

Run away as fast as your dead and violated asses will carry you.

>>10085031
when we get back home we need to make some anti-portal wards

>>10085053

HOGO, as you can probably tell, isn't the. . . sharpest pitchfork in the toolshed.

-----
Long story short, getting out of the tower isn't so bad. There's hardly anyone there, and Alicia's smart enough to avoid them. Not that you remember much of this, because you're undergoing the worst bad trip since that time in college with the shrooms.

It's not long before she manages to lead you out of the tower and sneak through the back gate and into a tall field of scorched grass and moaning damned.

You have successfully escaped from HOGO's dungeon. Now you just have to get out of hell. . .

Escape is our first priority right now. We can come back to fuck up Hogos shit later.

>>10085031
have alicia call for reginald

have reginald bring high explosives, lots of them

destroy hogos tower, laugh all the way home

>>10085061
>>10085081
>>10085080

I LITERALLY went 'MUAHAHAHAHAHAH' out loud. Physically. And gentlemen, I can actually do an excellent MUAHAHAHAHAHA in real life. When I naturally produce a genuine one, it makes girls pull their feet off the floor.

The tower is deserted?

Ask if Alicia knows where his treasury is. If we can troll him even harder by stealing a magic artifact/his source of power, so much the better.

Maximum awesome if doing so weakens him and gets him killed.

>>10085116
Hang on, let's retcon a bit. Does anyone want to do anything in the tower before you leave?

>>10085085
I like this as a contingency.

>>10085095

VIRGIL!

GONDOR CALLS FOR AID!

>>10085122
No, we don't have time and are tripping right now.

Just get out of hell.

>>10085095
"Any way we can summon a portal to the material realm?"

>>10085095
All we have to do is ... fly our helicopter out of the ceiling of Hell again ... we don't have a helicopter on hand, so we may have to improvise. Attempt to take stock of ourselves and whatever stuff we managed to grab in our escape (clothes?). Take note of what happened tot he both of us for physical condition, assuming we start getting back in our head after a while.

>>10085122
take something that looks important (and not dangerous to us)
time is of the essence

>>10085122
Take some shit I suppose and leave that peanut on his throne.

>>10085122
>>10085116

Well raiding magic items seem like a pretty good idea.

>>10085122
Loot and plunder

OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ?

>>10085122

Retcon it so that a peanut was included with the note HOGO read.

>>10085107

Gotcha.

Goshujin-sama, do we see anything that might throw trackers off the scent?

...Shit, I wonder if he had a portal device in that tower? Oh well, we're out now. It's SERE time, mufugga!

>>10085122
Sack treasury, place penut on Hogos throne.

>>10085095

"Any. . . any way we could try and open up a portal to the material realm?" you ask, trying to shake off your bad trip.

"Normally, no," Alicia says, leading you through the tall grass and into a small cave, where she finally lets go and lets you sit down. "The only reason it worked in the basement of my tower is because the veil is weak there. It's nearly impossible to try and open up a portal just anywhere."

>>10085095
so long as we don't have to go all the way down to the ninth circle and climb up Satan or whatever in order to get back out

That part of the Inferno never made much sense

>>10085122

I say we loot the most expensive, easily carriable and un-warded thing we can out of the tower. Or leave a single peanut on his daemonic throne. Whichever we have time for.

Alica, being the local Hell expert, should be able to help us with this.

>>10085160
>>10085154
>>10085152
>>10085146
>>10085144
>>10085142

Remember this for later.

>>10085122

Magic item looting for the win, just don't take too long. Priority goes to possible phylacteries/reservoirs of power and things that might get us out of hell or allow him to track us.

>>10085170
Does she have any allies in hell? i mean I know she was a powerfull dick but some had to be her buds

lets crash at their house see what happened to everyone else and then move on

>>10085160
If nothing else, it would help to be able to bribe whatever random demons with stuff as well.
And how damaged are we in soul-form anyways?

If you can go to hell in a handbasket, can you leave it in the same manner?

There's "long grass" nearby, and I can't think of a more traditional basket material than that.

Wait, does Alicia still have some of her power back, or did she use it all up for the genderswap?

>>10085170
"Could there be something here that can help us? Either to get out of hell, or defend ourselves?"

>>10085196

This! Ask Alicia this!

>>10085176

Why not? Satan is too busy munching on Judas Iscariot, Hitler, and the guy who coded blue shells into Mario Kart to bother with us.

>>10085196
"Naw, that doesn't work," Alicia says. "Getting out of hell usually requires chiropterans."

"Chiropterans?"

"Nothing gets you out of hell faster than a bat."

>>10085189
Good idea, ask Alicia if Hogo has a phylactery like her.

>>10085192
Hey yeah, I'm sure she knows someone.

>>10085196
Use an inverse handbasket.
Weave it inside out, with empty space inside and a bottom on the outside.

It's Physics I subject mater noob.

>>10085170
Let's head to the ruins of your tower, then. How far are they from here?

Step 1: Find Stairway to Heaven
Step 2: Fuck Angels.
Step 3: ?
Step 4: Profit!

>>10085212
Can we conjure up a huge goddamn bat without dying then?

>>10085170
"Not just anywhere, huh? ...Hogo's got to have a place like that somewhere too, right? Or maybe some other place? Would you be able to notice if something like that was around?"

Find a cave that smells like shit.

Bats live in caves and shit on the floor. There's massive mounds of it, usually crawling with dung beetles.

There we will find bats.

>>10085212
...
I should have known.

>>10085212

God... Dammit.

>>10085186

The best part is, neither the looting nor the peanut can be directly linked to us; it's shit an agent of Shantak might have done himself.

And if Hogo DOES realize who punk;d him- eventually- the insult to injury is going to be delicious as fuck.

I assume Alica took the time to do this while we were TRIPPIN BALLZ.

As you sit in the cave together, you take a moment to look at the loot you picked up.

1. SILVER KEY: this is a silver key you picked up from HOGO's throne room. It radiates of power.

2. OCCULT BOOK FROM BEYOND

3. A sword.

Cast summon/bind byakhee.

>>10085244
don't use the sword until we know what curses are on it.

>>10085212

God damn I love this quest.

Oh fucking hell. Can we spare the energy to summon up a bat?

>>10085254
>>10085244
Our sanity is shaky enough. Let's not read the book of unspeakable whatever until later.

Don't use ANYTHING until we get out.

Find a bat, or summon one up if we don't take any backlash from it.

We can't trip more balls right now.

$more "OCCULT BOOK FROM BEYOND"

>>10085212

Hell in a handbasket.

Bat outta hell.

>>10085233

"I. . . I don't know," Alicia admits. "I'm. . . practically powerless nowadays." She glances around the cave, thinking. "I can tell there's not one in here, but aside from that. . . I think I'd need to be very close in order to find it."

>>10085244
As good as the sword sounds, right now we need something that aids us in fleeing hell.
I vote for the key.

>>10085244

Occult Book? Ah, hell. It's probably the Necronomicon, or something like that, and just simply reading it will probably make us insane.

>>10085244

"As a token of your gratitude, Alica, will you identify these items at no charge?"

Also, ask about the whole "soul locket" stuff. She still has her two original souls, right? And I assume we ditched the locket back on the Materiel Plane?

>>10085244
Use the key on... well fucking midair. Think of home, wiggle it forward and give it a turn.

>>10085244
Apologize to Alicia for failing to save her the first time.

>>10084444

>>10085273
>>10085254

Summoning a bat will be 1d6 damage, 5+ backlash due to the lingering effects of the prior spell.

>>10085284

I think we got all three, bro.

~byakhee, byakhee, fly me through space.
Take me away, far from this place.~


...gods i need sleep...

>>10085297

I think it would be worth it. I say go for it. We're at 16 HP now right?

>>10085297
Worth it.
CONFIRM

>>10085297
what does the backlash do?

>>10085305
HP is the least of our concerns seeing how abusing our newfound powers can drive us mad.

>>10085291
>>10085287

"In any case," you say, "We should know what we have. What can you tell me about these?" you ask.

"The book. . . well, it's a grimoire."

"A book of spells?"

"No, more than that. It's a book of names. True Names of demons. . . mostly demons under HOGO's control. He's learned their names, so he knows how to control them now."

"And the sword?"

"It's a sword. Just a sword."

"How about the key?"

"Now, that, I have no idea about," Alicia admits.

Let's rest for a bit. Get our energy back.

>>10085290
The key is just as likely to lead to super-hell as the mortal realm.

Or Holo's bathroom.

Nither option seems charming.

also, what is this our third trip to hell?
Think we might chose a better vacation spot next year?

like Disneyland

>>10085297

Almost guaranteed we'll fuck it up.

Get Alica to give us a read on this shit we looted; we need to put distance between us and Hogo/Shantak while we can. This also gives us recovery time.

>>10085305
Or could we afford the time and rest a bit and recover a little. Do we need to push our luck?

>>10085313

Hang on, we can't dismiss insanity before finding out whether it positively or negatively affects our ability to give out hot dickings.

>>10085325

, , , put it this way. With enough insanity, you'll rape anything that moves.

>>10085283
>practically powerless
...wasn't Alicia one of the ones who could receive the Magician outfit? I suppose we won't know how that helps our magic bloodline until we swap it out, but giving her a bit of power from ourselves could be a good thing now.
Try to come up with some way to ask about her soul(s) without sounding too stupid. Fail because we're still out of it and just ask her.

>>10085325
I think we'll be spending too much time drooling in a corner for that

>>10085314
>True Names of demons. . . mostly demons under HOGO's control.
Did someone just say "Turn HOGOs army against him"?

Summon the bat so we can return to the mortal realm. We need to return to the mansion to see if our maids our safe and if necessary destroy the remains of the demon hordes.

>>10085314
>>10085314

>"No, more than that. It's a book of names. True Names of demons. . . mostly demons under HOGO's control. He's learned their names, so he knows how to control them now."

... oh HELL yes. Sniff around for traps first, then crack that bitch open and read it. This will give us the ability to make pretty much ever one of his (surviving) minions our little bitch.

>>10085330
So not much of a change to our current personality.

>>10085330

On the one hand, that would bring the samantha and kat subplots to BAD END territory.

On the other hand, it could become delicious and entertaining.

Choices....

>>10085336
felicia at the very least, probably won't mind still

>>10085351
AND alert him to our presence
lets get home first

>>10085351
>>10085341

Reading the book deals no damage, but has a 2+ chance for more backlash.

It's a book of demonic names and occult knowledge, after all.

>>10085341
He knows the name too dumbass, it'd be our battered asses vs him, I'm going to assume bigass demon wins

>>10085341
I like you, you've got gumption. Someone get this man a drink and a wench.

>>10085341
I do believe that in addition to giving HOGO yet another reason to hate us, that we've given him a reason to fear pissing us off. Of course, he's already killed us and raped our maid, so we'll be royally screwing him sooner rather than later. Not sure if we can use the book just yet, but we definitely need to start looking into it for later.

>>10085330
I think this is bad.

Crazy, I know, but I think we want to avoid insanity at all costs.

>>10085314

TURN HOGO'S ARMY AGAINST HIM

LEAD THEM TO EARTH AND START A DEMONIC CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

BECOME MALCOM EXDEATH

JUST SO YOU LAZY ASSHOLES KNOW: I ARCHIVED PART XXIX. IT'S ON SUP/TG/ IF YOU WANT TO VOTE TO AVOID DELETION.

ALSO: WE HAVEN'T RUBBED ONE OUT IN A WHILE, HAVE WE? CAN'T BREAK TRADITION.

>>10085369
I'm not sure on the numbers here boss, how much will a bat summoning screw us up?

>>10085358
I think he means we'd also try to rape Reginald. Do you want to try and rape Reginald? Do you crave death so badly?

>>10085369

I fucking KNEW reading the damn thing would possibly result in insanity!

>>10085341
>>10085351

Ask Alica if we could summon any of HOGO- er, sorry, OUR- minor demons to us just by knowing their name. More info about the specifics of this is needed.

>>10085380
>MALCOM EXDEATH
FFFFFF-F-F-f-_Ff-f--f_F_f--FF-F__F_F-f-fff..

>>10085380
...actually, you know what. Ask Alicia about how likely riding a demon-bat out of hell would be... we'd just need to find one in there after all, and maybe find some way to make it think Ice Demon was behind it all along afterwards.

>>10085382

It'll hurt, and you'll probably wind up a little crazier. But it'll get you out of hell.

Or you can hang around for a bit and rest up and recover some.

Give the book of demonic true names to Alicia. We don't really want to manage a demon army- too much work- but having one working for us by proxy would be excellent, and perhaps she'd like being a bit more demon-queeny again.

>>10085330
I'd imagine this would be more Reavers from Firefly rape, yes?
DO NOT FUCKING WANT

We CAN'T use his army because he has the same power over them. If we laugh in his face and say the names sure his army looses power, but they don't turn of him and if they did HE just says the names.

He can kill us in our weak state. Don't kill us again while we're already dead, use your heads

Right now, get back, and recover.

If we come back and HOGO was defeated by SHAMALAMADINGDONG then we open the grimoire.

Let's rest first please, then get out of hell.

>>10085401
Rest a bit. Have Alicia wake us up if she sees anything coming.

>>10085401
Does she have any allies? any at all?

>>10085401
We'll rest up then. First sign of shit going down though, and we take the hit and get the fuck out.

>>10085401
rest up motherfucker
don't mess with your sanity

>>10085412
If we have some time before our deception is found out, I'd say resting is a good idea.

Hmm. Given the penalties involved with the book, let's save that. We could always threaten to destroy it, and thus piss all of HOGO's power away in one fell swoop.

We figuratively have him by the balls, now. If we play our cards right, we could have him literally, too.

Of course, Alica could always read that book with no risk of penalty.... but we should not trust her with such power right now.

.... OOOOR we could turn the book over to Alica and let her start her demon-empire anew in Hell...?

>>10085401
Would Alicia take damage/backlash from reading the tome? Presumably she's got immunity, being a demon already, right?

>>10085416
if she's a dick enough to sleep with the QUEEN OF HELLS BOYFRIEND (aka KING OF HELL) she clearly doesn't care about who she fucks over and probably has no friends or allies down here

is there a way to uncrazy us?

>>10085401

Voting on the rest, Attempt to keep eye out for danger, maybe a little bit of what >>10085381 is suggesting.

>>10085401
I say we get out of hell, but then prioritize recovery before we retake the mansion.

>>10085380

...You want us to turn into a demonic version of a black rights leader, and a magic slinging treant that has assloads of evil and monster in him; which may result in a nihilist being released from his body if he's destroyed?


AWESOME! But no.

>>10085408

I agree. We'd have to kill him first before we have exclusive power over his demon host. Maybe have Alicia do the work to get some power back, since she'd still be under our service.

OH SHIT
Once / if we get out of hell we'll need to find out if Alicia is still bound by the contract, since we died and all that.

A vote for resting up, and returning (via bat) afterwards.

After that is up for debate, but I like the idea of giving the book to Alicia.

>>10085434
Hire a psychiatrist maid?

"Let's get some rest," you say. "We've had a long day."

"Good idea," Alicia says. "But let's get a bit deeper into the cave first."

The two of you stagger deeper into the cave, out of sight of the cave entrance. It's surprisingly warm: you always expected caves to be cold and clammy, but this one's not bad. Maybe it's all the proximity to magma and sulphur, and the lava river in the distance providing a dim, red light.

"You all right?" you ask, as you sit up against the wall, catching your breath.

"I'm fine," Alicia says, dismissively. "How about you?"

>>10085449
from the fact that she's still helping you, the contract may very well be irrelevant

>>10085428

>.... OOOOR we could turn the book over to Alica and let her start her demon-empire anew in Hell...?

.... I know a lot of us wub our wittle demon-loli, but I think this is what she'd want.

We'd just have to time it right, to minimize chances of being fucked over.

>>10085431
Wait, she fucked Satan didn't she...
so if we fucked her...
We indirectly will have fucked Satan.
FUCKING METAL

>>10085457
Still, better safe than sorry.

>>10085455
"really wishing i was in disney right now

also, trippin' balls"

>>10085451
YES!

She can be a MILF with massive tits!

Remember how anime women in the '90s were glossy and had massive tits? I miss those days...

>>10085455

"Getting a bit crazy, but not too bad."

Then give Alicia a hug. "Maybe you'll stop trying to make me abandon you next time?"

>>10085455
Let her know about the backlash.

>>10085455
"Dead I guess. But feeling better than when we left that castle.
... So. Uh. Why did you come back for my body before?"

>>10085455

"I'm okay. You're the one I'm worried about. My mission is to get you back to the mansion alive."

>>10085455
Wait for Alicia to fall asleep. Masturbate.

>>10085455

"Eh, somewhat nearly insane and tired due to slinging spells around. Though overall I gotta say I feel fine, considering I was just torn into by HOGO, and choked to death."

>>10085408
>>10085408

>We CAN'T use his army because he has the same power over them.

Pretty much. But our ability to contradict his every order means his hordes are far less useful to him.

Also, he doesn't know we have this power. Once we read the book, we'll have a one-round surprise on him; the ability to order one of his (surviving) minions to stab him in the back.

>>10085478
why wait?

Hey...what would be the roll to rewind time before we died?

>>10085434
Good question. Do we regain sanity over time or is it the LOST & GONE FOREVER type?

"I'm all right," you say. "Just a bit tired."

"You've. . . well, you've changed," Alicia sighs. "Might be a side effect from all that dying and going to hell you've been doing. Suffice to say, I don't think it'll be quite this effective outside of hell."

"That's. . . disappointing," you say. "It might have been cool to be a god."

"You. . . a god. Heaven Forbid," Alicia sighs.

There is a moment of awkward silence.

"So. . . why did you go after my dead body, anyway?" you ask.

"Didn't want to see you get captured by HOGO and SHANTAK," Alicia says.

"Excuse me?"

"They have your body, they can revive you. Then they can. . . play with you. Trust me, when it comes to torture, demons are experts." She hugs herself tightly.

>>10085455
sleepy time
then
find a bat, gtfo Hell
AND PLANT SOME MORNING GLORIES

>>10085455

"My schedule is FUCKED. I still need to hire a goddamn cook."

>>10085487
so what happens if i return without my body? it worked out last time

>>10085483
Still it's us and a sword vs a Demon of hell who killed us no problem before when we were at full health and we had guns

Sounding a little crazy, "I'm feeling a little pent up, heheheh!"

>>10085486
backlash is damage that heals normally over time. If we don't push it, we'll probably end up only slightly more insane than someone who is who we already are.

>>10085472
This. Give Alicia a hug.

>>10085487
hold her against your side gently, don't let her feel too alone

>>10085487

Opportunity for comfort/inquiry?

>>10085487
"I... ah... appreciate your consideration."

>>10085487
>She hugs herself tightly.
Awwwww. Give her a reassuring hug.

Hugz teim is nao teim.

>>10085487

>"They have your body, they can revive you. Then they can. . . play with you. Trust me, when it comes to torture, demons are experts." She hugs herself tightly.

Hogo going to pay for whatever he did to her. After we return home we're going to make him even less powerful than Alicia is now.

>>10085487

>Trust me, when it comes to torture, demons are experts." She hugs herself tightly.

I know she's a Lust Demon, who once tried to kill us, and that she's probably tortured countless souls in ways at least as horrible... but GOOOOOD DAAAAMEEEET I FEEL BAD NOW.

>>10085507

"Come over here," you say, holding your arm out to her.

"What?"

"Don't lean up against the rocks, it's hard. I'm softer."

"Yeah. . . but you're naked," Alicia stammers.

"So are you, so what?"

She blushes a bit, and turns her face aside, but she walks over next to you and leans her head on your shoulder anyway.

>>10085487

"Thank you. I'm sorry they tortured you instead of me."

I agree, let's hug her.

And masturbate.

At the same time.

>>10085490

>AND PLANT SOME MORNING GLORIES

I am, like, THIS close to commissioning somebody to draw a half-naked man with a .38 revolver on a dance floor surrounded by potted morning glories going OONTS OONT OONTS OONTS

>>10085487
Give her a hug and apologize. Cautiously.

>>10085528
Do not try anything right now. Instead, naptime. Murmur quiet sentiments of appreciation and affection as we drift off.

>>10085528
"Maybe next time I die, we can go to heaven, instead."

>>10085528
Fall asleep with her in our arms? Pray we don't wake up with a knife against our throat that would ruin the moment.

>>10085528
>"Yeah. . . but you're naked,"
What? Again?
We'll need to tuck in a change of clothes besides the ass gun next time.

>>10085487

"Well, i'm certain there is a vertiable labyrinth of complex reasons and emotions behind that decision that would likely rape my brain if I tried to be Dr. Freud for you, so... Thank You."

>>10085528

Cuddle. Nothing perverted, just provide some comfort and benevolent companionship.

>>10085487
how do we go about trying to comfort her here, all? All tsundere and ordering her over to us because we somehow feel cold and try to fall asleep with her in our arms? Bit much I'd think. But we do have to do something.

>>10085555
>>10085548
>>10085546
>>10085545
>>10085544
>>10085530

You hug her close to you and look up at the ceiling, thinking quietly. "I'm sorry," you say.

"It's all right," Alicia says. "Anyway. . . if you think about it, it was all my fault to begin with. I was the one who fucked you over at the start. So I guess, if anyone should apologize, it should be me."

Don't try anything. We need to heal her. And then do it the right way. At Disneyland.

>>10085568
"so, there any games you want to play when we get back?"

>>10085568
"The man who starts a fight is childish.
The one who ends it is a criminal."

>>10085568
"If that's the case fuck my great great great grandfather for being so Greedy eh?"

>>10085568
Finally got to the dere part of the tsundere.

Out of curiosity, is this maid quest related/inspired?

>>10085568
OK. Clearly, we both owe the other for past wrongs. I find that the best answer to situations like that is the simultaneous granting of sexual favors.

>>10085576

I wonder if she'd like red dead redemption?

give her the book of names. She can use it a lot more effectively that us. And now is totally an awesome time to attempt to give her power back.

>>10085588

New thread

Some faggot archive this one.

>>10085568

It's all right. Everybody fucks up, god knows I'm no stranger to that. How did you become a queen of Hell in the first place? I saw you in my dream, and you weren't always like this.

"I've got to save up to masturbate in the morning, you'll be fine. And we need the rest. Because tomorrow we're getting out of Hell and then we're going to figure out how to show HOGO just how much he's going to pay for what he did."

>>10085568
"Forget apologizing, we just need to get back and try to make things better. Moving on, you know?"

>>10085546
I like this. It's so sappy I think I got the DIABEETUS though.

"But before I get to dreaming, I guess I need to tell you about this dream I had before."

This, with the addendum, "Still, I' ve enjoyed hanging out and playing Freespace 2 with you. I like you, and If it weren't for that initial conflict, I think we could have started off as friends. That body you had back then was ridiculously distracting though."
