And, when given the chance, I can get a lot of gold very quickly.

Silver laughs

>"Man we made a killing at those last few mission. Well Alalia, we got the gold.. What were your big plans for it?

"well, i could always stuff it inside me in a totally not suggestive non-sexual manner..."

"maybe i could convince someone stupid to sell their soul for some gold..."

>i have tears of joy right now, i missed this mimic

>mimic quest is back
Lemme catch up real quick OP.

You could spend it on wheels

And a masterfully made lock and key (that can be opened from the inside, but not the outside)

You can buy a magic dagger

The plan was to become DEMON QUEEN TANK MIMIC, iirc. So lets see what we can do about making ourselves a sturdy mobile box and getting well armed with crossbows and stuff. Magic wheels we can control is important too, if we can't do it under our own power.

think about nefarious plans you had for the gold.

"well, i could always stuff it inside me in a totally not suggestive non-sexual manner."

She laughs again. It's always so easy to make her laugh.

But really though I do want to become the MIMIC QUEEN. Hell maybe even Demon Lord!

First thing I do is by myself some awesome magical wheels and a cross bow. Not quite a tank just yet but still now I can fight.

The wheels knocked me down from Ridiculously Wealthy to Normal Rich

>>17807676
they see me rollin'

they hatin'

Practice shooting and reloading. Acquire loads of ammo and some upper body protection. Also reinforce our box.

yes, perfect, maybe reinforce the box so you can take a hit.
but now you seem ready to kill something.

>>17807752
>>17807743
Yes please to reinforcement.

Also give the box eyebrows to match yours

>>17807676
All our killings will be drive-by shootings. This pleases me greatly.

>>17807764
When we add reinforcement we can include it making a war face expression with the lid.

>>17807676
>wheels

Can we enter a race?

I guess I could enter a race if I wanted to..

And no I'm not giving my box eyebrows! Are you making fun of my eyebrows!?

ANYWAY

Let's see... Okay reinforce the box... Maybe with gold. Yeah lots of gold. Gold is sturdy right?
And and and..
I want the gold cannons to shoot out fire! People try to touch the golden box then BWOM fire shoots out and burns them!

>Silver "Alalia what are you doing?"

"Plotting.."

>"Just make sure whatever you plot is well.. Possible."

>>17807846
Gold is too heavy, we should armour the box with diamonds.

>>17807846
Gold is SOFT. You want iron, or steel. If you want bling, get DIAMONDS, or gold plating.

no, gold is soft, valuable, but weak. best would be adamantite, but let's start at steel.

>>17807846
Naaaah too much gold on the outside will be too heavy bring too much trouble and gold is too soft anyway. Just sturdy iron frame around the edges to keep the box from breaking again. Then get yourself a helmet and some light armor for when your box is open and you're shooting. Nothing fancy yet.

Your eyebrows are awesome and never forget it.

rolled 9, 16, 100, 55 = 180

>>17807846
fIND BLACKSMITH, GET HIM TO MAKE STEEL PLAT FOR THE BOX

>>17807947
Oh... Thank you.

Okay so scrap the gold.. Full iron box. Now see I don't really need armor myself. I can't die from stab wounds and the like very easily. I 'can' however die from my box being broken so let's focus on that.

Now I'll just add some golden trim..

If I take this to a blacksmith it'll probably knock me down from Normal Rich to Well Off... Man making yourself better costs a lotta money.

So is this the design I wanna get for now?

>>17808230
>I can't die from stab wounds and the like very easily.
That's nice but you still need to be able to see to defend yourself so get something to protect your head during battle.

>>17808230
Let's just settle with the reinforced box for now. Neither the golden trim nor the flam cannons are really necessary in the beginning.
If we just take the bare minimum, we can take it for a test drive and see how it performs and what we might want to improve.

>>17808230
a chain shirt for us at least

yay for mimic quest, going kinda slow tonight though. don't give up on the quest OP.

>>17808585
I won't!

>>17808298
Okay got a helmet and normal steel plates setting me down to Not-Quite Rich.

Me and Silver go to the mission board. Which would be best to test drive this new thing?

There's something about a shapeshifter in town that they want to be rid of..
Someone else is looking for a potion ingredient.
And there's some child missing.

The first one pays the most Gold.

>>17808751
The missing kid. It doesn't pay as much, but it'll earn you respect. Respect is always worth having.

>>17808751
>There's something about a shapeshifter in town that they want to be rid of..

I think our battle box is more suited for open environments, not houses and such places.

>Someone else is looking for a potion ingredient.
Could help to see how well our chest performs in rugged terrain.

>And there's some child missing.
We should probably help here first.

>>17807480
You're suffering a misconception my friend. Mimics are only associated with treasure chests because that's what popular gaming culture associates them with due to overuse via unimaginative DM's.

Read the rules for your mimic. Mimics can mimic almost ANY simple object, not just treasure chests.

>>17808826
She said in the first thread she can't herself. there was another one who was in a jar

>>17808751
>>17808839
See if we can't find a book like "Being a Mimic for dummies" that might help us with our shapeshifting prolem.

>Do the missing child mission.

Bluh, fine..

Let's see...

Apprentice wizard missing after walking into the Forest of Death and Despair. Last seen 4 days ago. Teacher went in to find her himself but was killed by the Spine Ravager that inhabits the forest.

....

>>17808855
What if a mimic transforms into a Monster Manual (to which an equivalent does exists in the actual game world as purchasable) and reads about itself?

>>17808895
Excellent, don't forget to buy ammo for the crossbow.

>>17808895
Uh... hmm. Ask your friend about how much death and despair that place usually portends, and the odds of you two getting your spines ravaged by that beast.

This seems like a bad thing, but one that we're going to maybe deal with eventually. The mission probably doesn't may enough but the monster may have a bounty too.

So hey, just to confirm.
How did we get another box again?
do you have a link for the last part of the quest?

I really don't think I sh-
Aaaand Silver is already packing up.

"So uh... How bad are these uh.. Spine Ravagers..?"

>"Pretty bad. They really like going for the spine, in case that wasn't obvious. Sucks because you'll probably be alive for a bit. Just don't turn your back to them like ever."

...

Oookay... I got plenty of bolts but uh... I don't want my spine to be ravaged.

>>17809105
You live in a goddamn metal box. Don't be a pussy.

>>17809121
NOT THAT KIND OF RAVAGED YOU PERVERTED DEMON

just keep your lid u, so it covers your back.

>>17809138
Hey who's saying that what is hidden there is perverse and not simply terrible damages? You are, you little pervert.
One more quick thing, make sure we have a little stabby weapon in case something does get past out ally, our crossbow and the lid.

>>17809138
>>17809175
W-what? No no I knew what kind of ravaged she meant..
Anyway I do have a little dagger, it's pretty good.

Together me and Silver head to the forest. The moment we step close the area darkens.
Oh god I can hear some kind of growling...

>>17809287
Let Silver take the lead and cover her back.

>>17809299
Nah, instead let's cover ourselves most of the way with out box lid keeping out crossbow pointed out, and advance with Silver right next to us.

This way we have many kind of cover covered.

>>17809323
Did I write cover? Sorry, I meant covet.

>>17809340
Wow, you're me too? What a coincidence. And of course we have coveting covered while also coveting our cover, that doesn't even need to be said. Really, it doesn't.

>>17809323
>>17809340
>>17809406
Wh-what... Aaaaa you're confusing me. I'm just gonna trail behind her a bit...

As we cross through the forest I relax a bit. The forest has been pretty quiet so far..

As soon as I drop my guard though I hear trees snap. Something runs through and snatches up Silver!

I fire a bolt at the beast but it just bounces off it's hard skin.

A long pointy tongue emerges from it's maw.

God damn how the hell did nature come up with such a fucking scary creature.. I'm glad I -can't- pee my pants cause this thing is fucking terrifying..

>>17809637
GO FOR THE EYE

SHOOT ITS HUGE FUCKING EYE

>>17809637
Go for the eyes, Alalia, go for the eyes!

RAMMING SPEED! go full power and hold out your dagger in a way so it puts all your force on it's point.

BOLTS IN THE EYES AND MOUTH

IN YO FACE, BITCH

>>17809656
combine this with going for the crotch! nothing can withstand a stab to the dick!

>>17809693
Are you kidding!? I'm not getting anywhere near that thing!

I fire at it's face scoring a direct hit right on the eye. It drops Silver and tries to slam her with it's spiked tail. She ducks under it and the tail hits a tree snapping it in half.

>"Good job Alalia!"

As the creature recovers she stabs it's tail. Her freakishly high STR lets her pin it's tail into the ground.

>>17809637
Shoot it in the eye, speed over there, and CHOMP SILVER TO SAFETY!

>>17809826
The other eye, our friend is at risk if we fail.

NOW DICK STAB!

>>17809826
SHOOT THE OTHER EYE

>>17809848
Right! Shoot eye, run over to Silver, shove her into my -I hate this feeling- box.

The creature roars and starts stomping the ground around the box. It smacks into the chest and sends it tumbling a bit.
After a few minutes of roaring and smashing it starts to move away.

>"... That was a baby Spine Ravager."

>>17810115
Kiss silver

"If we both leave now, promise not to talk about this again?"

>>17810115
So...are you two dating? Or just friends with benefits? This is the second time you've let her in your box.

>>17810115
Hug silver. "I was worried about you."

>>17810134
YES.

>>17810115
"could you try moving your foot please... its digging in a really uncomfortable spot..."
"T-that's a baby?!? we got in over our boxes, didn't we?"

"That was a baby...? Maybe we should just forget this mission."

>"No Alalia. I think we can do this if we work together. We make a great team."

>>17810134
What..? No I.... Well maybe just one...

.....................


>"Alalia come on, we gotta rescue the girl."

....

She already left.

>>17810115
Kiss silver while you drive back to town.

Why do you hate the feeling?

>>17810212
Well, no time to waste. The sooner we find that girl, the better.

>>17810212
One day...one day she'll realize that our love was meant to be.

For now just follow her.

>>17810212
Remember that feeling of desire, however brief.

Set new mission: SEDUCE SILVER.

Then go after her and help her in any way you can.

>>17810212
Now, don't get depressed.
For our experience there is always a next time on chomping her into safety.
Now follow her with you Crossbow ready

>>17810212
Why do you hate the feeling of her inside you?

Ask if they go after movement or after body heat or whatever. If they wouldn't go after your box then you can drive around looking without getting attacked.

>>17810236
It's weird that's why..

Anyway this doesn't matter..
I follow her through the forest for a while longer. Thankfully we don't run into any more Spine Ravagers.
We come across a cave. A nearby tree has a scrap of cloth on it.

There's a low growling sound coming from within the cave.

>>17810325
ENTER CAVE

Ask silver if she's okay being in your box, or if it's as weird to her.

>>17810325
Store cloth. Hide behind her for safety

>>17810325
Kill it with fire

>>17810343
seconding this.

We enter the cave.

"Hey are you cool with uh.. Being in my box?"

>"Huh..? Well it isn't the most comfortable thing but it's very safe."

"Ah okay.."

Why did I ask that again..?

We go further into the cave and oh dear god what the hell is that.
Silver crouches down and whispers.

>"That is an Adult Spine Ravager.. Oh man.. Okay the girl's there and she's still alive but here's the thing.. See that stuff she's in? It heals her constantly as the Adult continuously feeds from her.. Well, spine. I'm not sure how to remove her from it without hurting her.. Or waking that big beast."

>>17810462
cut the strands anchoring her, stuff her in me and haul ass back to the village. we can deal with it there

>>17810462
Check if the girl's fine, stuff everybody into the box and then see how much speed we can get with these wheels.

>>17810462
Is the Spine Ravager afraid of something? Light perhaps, why would it stay in these dark woods otherwise?

>>17810462
"hmm... well, if we can't save her, can i eat her soul? don't want it going to waste or anything..."
if silver gives us the stink eye:
"what? im a demon, whaddya expect?"

sneak in a and stab its eyes!

>>17810522
You're terrible at being a coward.

roll under her. and she will fall down into box when the strands cut, then turn on the magix to maximum and you all flee.

>>17810462 Carefully Find the most vital part of the Spine Ravager then Kill the fuck out of it.

and I repeat do this carefully

>>17810556
i would post a more cowardly response, but im too afraid to do it. could you do it for me?

>Attack the heavily armored giant monster that could easily crush me.

Yeah no. Instead I roll on over and cut the girl down.

"Got her, now let's get the hell out of here."

Did we ever see those other party members die?

I think they still might be alive.

>>17810697
The beast is awake, get everybody in the box and get the fuck out of there!

>>17810697
Run like hell holy shit it's awake.

>>17810697
GRAB EVERYONE

GOTTA GO FAST

>>17810697
SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!

IT'S AWAKE! IT'S AWAKE!

RUN DAMMIT RUN!

>>17810697
SHAZBOT

RUN LIKE HELL

>>17810697
GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE!!! But don't put her in your box. You're a mimic, not a slut.

Eyebrows the quest is back. Noice.
>>17810697
THE EYES. IT WATCH.

>>17810697
Into the box the girl goes, Out of the cave we go.

Silver can ride with us to.

>>17810724
RUNNING LIKE HELL.
I pull Silver into my box -shudder- and tie up the mage girl to the side. Thanks to my MAGIC WHEELS I easily outrun the Spine Ravager and make it out of the woods.

-Mission Completed! Alalia has gained 1 Level-

Woah what..? That's never happened before.

>>17810836
Fuck yeah!
One point in CHA, the other on in INT.
Also, check to see if the girl is okay.

>>17810836
+1 Agility for shooting, +1 Charisma (eyebrows)

>>17810871
Seconding

Also has any one save the older threads?

>>17810836
We need charisma if he are to get Silver to accept our forbidden love.

+1 Cha
+1 Str (I think she might like strong people more...)

How the hell did I do that?

>>17810912
Thank you kind sir.

Cha and Agi.

We already have two in Int.

Points placed in Agi and Cha. I feel like I can talk to people better now!

>"Hey Alalia I'm gonna take the girl to a healer, you just relax in the room. You did a great job."

I can't help but smile a little.
No more sitting around in a box waiting for adventurers for me! I'm a mimic who actually gets shit done!

And soon I -will- be the mimic queen!

>>17810970
Say, what does actually happen when a mimic manages to get somebody's soul?

>>17810970
So, I guess chapter 4 will start mid-March?

>>17811002
how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
>>17810970
>solid gold box
>scantily clad Elfin slave girls to carry it around
>piles of gold to stuff in our incredibly awesome box
>all the souls we can eat...
heh, mimic queen... fuck yeah...

>>17811029
Anything is possible if you believe!

>>17811002
They eat it of course. Nothing really special happens

>>17811069
In that case I choose to believe it will come sooner.

>>17811069
So Alalia, how did you get these AWESOME Eyebrows?

>>17811065
... daydreaming of awesomeness that will come to pass?

>>17811029
Knowing larro? Probably.

bumped

>>17811069
On the Soul Eating thing, what exactly happens to the Soul, apart from the Digestion aspect? Does it merge with her, get turned into stats/nutriants or something else?
