You descend the stone staircase to the cellar, where you keep both your prized collection of fine wine and whiskey, and your prized collection of mages. As you step through the stone arch at the foot of the stairs, you see the cluttered mess of tables, desks, beakers, flasks, piles of notes and reference texts, and of course good old fashioned snack bags and dirty ramen cups. You scoot past a stain that you hope isn't anything bodily, and make your way toward the desk where Gilbert is spread out like a corpse. His snoring is terrible, and his drool is pooling by his mouth. When you get close enough, you can almost certainly smell cheap wine wafting up from his gullet. You reach out a hand and shake him awake. He rouses with a start, reaching for a scalpel near his left hand and waving it around frantically.
"Ah! I knew you'd come for me one day you sons of- eh? Oh, it's you, my dark lord. Sorry about the mess," he motions to everything in the room, "Caitlyn was supposed to tidy up. Caitlyn! Where are you girly!?"
You hear shuffling, and turn to see a pile of crumpled notes collapse as a teenage girl in a steepled hat and glasses rises drunkenly from her resting place. She rubs her eyes under her spectacles and adjusts her shifted robes before stumbling to her feet and curtsying.
"My dark lord," she grumbles, still half asleep, and wanders over to find a broom near the wall.

Let them figure out who cleans what themselves. That ain't our business.
I'm just catching up on this and it's pretty funny desu
>>46138703
You tell Caitlyn to head upstairs and have a hot shower to wake up. She smiles, gratefully, and shuffles toward the stairs with the broom still hanging from her hand. As she ascends the steps, you shout at her to have some coffee and a bagel from the free box in the break room as well.
You turn back to Gilbert, watching as he reaches into his desk drawer and draws out the same sealed jar from before, only this one is entirely filled to capacity with black goo, instead of just one large glop. You tell Gilbert to reveal his discoveries.
"What you've got here isn't an elder god, nor is it anything remotely divine. It's simply a species of slime, albeit one thought long extinct. My guess is they were living deep beneath the earth, subsisting on bacteria or worms, until the miners stumbled on them. Funny enough, there were myths that these things could weave soil into precious metal. I wouldn't call iron precious, but it is certainly possible these creatures are responsible for the incredible deposit there." Gilbert chortles to himself a little, tapping the glass of the jar. "The sample you brought me is what you'd call a Queen. It's already filled the jar with offspring, but I doubt they'll crack the glass. Caitlyn and I made it nice and strong. Even you'd have a hard time. I've compiled some references that mention what these things can do, and all of them point to the same few examples. I'll save you the details and sum it up: mind control, and psionic inhibition degradation. If the stories are true, they are very dangerous to keep around."

FINE Fine.
OP, Hey OP there are a couple things in need of doing:
I. Apparently we have snitches, so dress a few trustworthy guys up in hero-costumes to ask around. Those that help them, are traitors to our cause.
The goal is two-fold: a) Find and eliminate them
b) use as deterrent for the locals do not know if its the real heros, or fake ones, so they are unlikely to cooperate.
II. Check the merchants who wanted us to get the mine, whether they knew anything of all the trouble it brought us.
III.Setup orphanages around the country for the kids whose parents died in the wars of aggression against our peaceful country (and ensure the kids get the right kind of education)
IV. We should, with Vanessas help, develop a multi-step program to instill loyalty innewly conquered countries, for example with the orgies go gradually. First only grouphugs, than less clothes, then group kissing and so on.

*Irish accent*
"So... ye want to take a look at me moins?"
>>46138890
>>"Is there no way to use them?"
>>46138946
You ask Gilbert if there is a way to put them to work for you and your business. He seems to dislike the idea, chewing it in his mouth before answering.
"Well, as you saw, they have powerful effects. Planting one on someone, assuming you could control the programming, could mean complete control over thoughts and actions. The problem is, we'd have to understand how to program the things. It might not even be possible for all I know. On that subject, there is a man I know of. An expert in the field of single cell cryptids. If you obtained him, we could accelerate study of these things a thousand times." You make a note of that. "Also, and I don't want to tell you this, but these things are somewhat toxic. The same substance they release to exert control over one's mind also decays psionic shielding and inhibition. This means two things, a victim is forever much more susceptible to psionic assault, and any person with latent psionic power would begin tapping into it. Psions, as you know, are rare, and have been since they were culled centuries ago. Unleashing them once more, it's like throwing a match into a dry brush and hoping the smokes only wafts into your neighbors yard."

>>46139160
Those are good plans, I like this guy, backing.
Although I feel like anyone who directed us into the mines probably didn't know anything about it, since it was recently discovered by Marigold's workers or something. Won't hurt to ask though I guess, although they'd probably just deny it if it was truly intended. And I doubt they'd lead us into something they'd know is so dangerous because the consequences for them would most likely be, uh, fatal.
>>46139160

That's already a thing
>>46139225

Also contact info for that expert.

>>"Do as you will with them, just do not let them escape."
>>46139225
>>"Do as you will with them, just do not let them escape."
Post extra guards around the jar though, make sure there's always at least two sets of eyes watching to ensure that it doesn't break out. Maybe set up some kind of alarm system in case the glob gets loose? Them getting loose does sound like something that everyone in the area should know of.
Also try and find the guy? Maybe use Duncan's spy network?
Also psionic Marigolid I can see it already

>>46139277
You tell Gilbert to double the protection on the jar. Possibly by placing the jar into another, larger jar. You also make a mental note to post guards in the lab, with a nice big fire alarm in case something goes wrong. Before you leave, you ask Gilbert to give the information he has on the expert to Duncan, so he might track him down.
You head back up the the main keep, passing by several minions who salute as you move by. Funny enough, you realize you haven't seen a single Hellraiser or even Marigold all day, even at the morning meeting. You haven't heard anyone say anything about them, so it may be nothing, but you should still be cautious.
You arrive at the break room right on time for a fresh bagel and cream cheese, only to be interrupted by Vanessa as she comes skipping into the room. The other minions, cheerfully enjoying coffee and their mandated fifteen minutes, scurry out of the room as soon as she comes into view, likely worried you'll smell the lust coming off of them.

"Okay, well, the forest near the city we conquered when you were starting is burning down. Kind of a lot. All the cute little forest critters are scurrying out, either getting killed by farmers or killing farmers. Right now we think the fire has already cleared one hundred acres, and the wind is pushing it further in. By nightfall, without rain, we think it'll reach four hundred. We don't have any rangers, so nobody is even going near the forest, but if we don't stop it soon we stand to lose over two billion in total assets, and that's only counting short term."

"The good news is I bought these cute new berets for my hair, see?" She turns her head to each side, showing off a pair of sparkling hair decorations. "They look like little butterflies!"
You have no magic that can battle fire, only make it. Gilbert is a rune mage, but he might now something about stopping something like this. Your other bet is Caitlyn, who was taught destruction magic by Ray, but then again, she was taught magic by "Ray of Frost" Ray. Any of your other staff members would be nothing but manpower.

>>46139950
You summon Caitlyn to your side. She is still in her towels, hair wrapped up on top of her head, razor in hand. She is utterly speechless, but there's no time for discussion. You grab her arm and teleport to the forest.
When you arrive, you behold a massive plume of black smoke, as well as charred and smoking trees. The fire burns fiercely, destroying more and more forest as it spreads. You ask Caitlyn what she can do to at least contain the burn. She stammers, nervous and unsure, but you remind her who her teacher was, and assure her she can handle this much. She tosses her razor aside, unwraps her hair, and begins toweling it off while she thinks.
"Well, I can summon rain. That's fairly simple, but it'll take time and I'll need ingredients. The riskier, but faster option... well it involves a bit of math."

You watch as Caitlyn picks up a bit of woods and scribbles some complicated symbols and signs into the dirt. It takes about two minutes, but when she is done she confidently dusts off her hands and turns to face you again.
"Alright, I can handle the hard part. But to do this, we're gonna need force, and a lot of it. You seem pretty strong. Ever try shot put in school?" You did, and you did pretty well, as you recall. "Perfect. Because I'm gonna need you to put my about three hundred feet in the air, at an arc that will require enough force to make me pass out after the blood rushes to my head at the peak. Basically, you're gonna throw me as hard as you can."

>>46140647
I wanna say your wrong, But did we actually factor in her clothing, air resistance and other shit like that? Because that's really important.
>>46140690
>But did we actually factor in her clothing
Yes because clothes would make a serious difference in that equation
>>46140730

>>46140801
>>46140730
Oh well then its fine, We didn't have much to factor in. Let us kee...OH NO, WET HAIR. The heaviest object known to man.
>>46140522
You give her the thumbs up, and she smiles. Small as she is, she hops up, planting a foot in each of your palms, which you grab tight. She also wraps and arm around your neck for balance, and you begin sprinting toward the forest.
You pick up speed gradually, until you are going full steam, heart pounding, throat burning, and when you think you've hit your maximum, you flex your arms and catapult Caitlyn into the air. She tucks into a ball to keep her towel from flying off, and begins channeling magic. You watch her fly up and over, until she is near the peak of her arc, at which point you can make out a faint shout.
"Maximized Overcharged Greater Ray of Frost!"
And with that, a sort of blueish white mist bursts from her extended arms, icing the forest down with such speed that you can feel the warm air from the fire come rushing at you like a sundowner wind. Steam rises as well, obscuring her from sight, and making you very nervous about how she's going to land.
>Run after her

Salt. I think our assumptions might be incorrect. Better:
>Run after her
>>46140848
>Run after her" She reminds me of Ray back when we started that forest fire to flush out the werewolves but then it spiraled out of control. We got double paid that day"
>>46140848
>Run after her
She planned to pass out on the way up. There's no way we can risk leaving her.
>>46140848
>Run after her
>>46140898
Nope that was part of the plan. we did manage to make it look like an accident.
(The fake werewolf costumes were really uncomfortable AND expensive. Come to think, we might still have them around somewhere...)
>>46140916
You take off again, pumping your legs as hard as you can in the direction you really hope she's headed. The mist and steam are thick, creating an atmosphere of such humidity you can already feel the swamp ass creeping on you. The floor is constantly rugged and icy, causing you to slip over a dozen times, but you manage to turn it in your favor when you come to a particularly smooth area which you slide across with the grace of a dancer.
You hear something above suddenly, coming down like a bag of sand. You dive for it, and feel Caitlyn land in your arms. She doesn't hit as hard as you expected, and she even managed to keep her towel on, but she will likely need another shower.
You slide into the ice and mud, holding Cailtyn above the jagged forest floor to protect her from scratches, until you come to a slow and awkward stop. You get back to your feet.

>>46141179
You scoop up Caitlyn's legs and support her back, the same way you cradled Vanessa when you sang to her at the capitol. You look around briefly for a the way out of the icey, black forest, and begin walking. On the way back, you notice a little blood dripping from Caitlyn's nose, either from the sudden shift in heat or the fall, but as it doesn't seem heavy you leave it be.
When you emerge from the charred and frozen treeline, you see Shen and Legion assembled, armed as if they intended to beat the fire into submission. From between then emerges Vanessa, holding a basket in the crook of her elbow.
"Daddy, I brought us a pic-" this is cut off by a gasp so loud you wonder if her throat is okay. She drops the basket into the dirt, and stares frozen at the sight of you carrying Caitlyn. Her eyes are wide, and her mouth agape. Shen waves a hand in front of her petrified face, eyes wide and mouth agape, but she doesn't even blink. You stand there, awkwardly, for about three minutes. Then, Vanessa thaws. You watch as a pair of sharp, almost bull-like horns emerge from her head, and her skin takes on a blood red hue. She gnashes her teeth, canines sharp as awls, and begins shaking with what you think is either rage or constipation, or both.
"You little hussy! Back off!" You are taken aback as Vanessa leaps at you, kicking up a cloud of dust where her feet once were, eyes focused in on the unconscious mage in your arms.

>Other
Try to calm Vanessa down, ensure her she's still our little girl.
>>46141490
You let Caitlyn hit the dirt with a thud and reach out to pull Vanessa into a hug. She greedily accepts, wrapping her arms around your neck and hanging from it like a tie. You hold her up by her back and knees, and watch as she scratches at the still unconscious and now even dirtier Caitlyn, making hissing noises as if she were alert enough to hear them. You try to calm her down, but when she isn't giving dirty looks to Caitlyn she's burying her face on your breastplate. Eventually Legion comes over to pick Caitlyn off the ground, and bring her away, which seems to calm Vanessa down greatly.
"Daddy! You're not allowed to hold anybody except me! If I ever catch you again, then I'm gonna run away and find a new daddy, who loves me and doesn't cheat on my with floosies and skanks!"

mate with sophia yes. What will be really bad, is the contest between sophia and Vanessa regarding the care for her brother.
Vanessa wants to cuddle and pamper the baby as long as she is in the mood to. and then Sophia, in Vanessas mind, has to take the second place, but as soon as Vanessa gets bored, or has to change diapers etc. it will be the task of somebody else.
Sophia, being the mother and a proud woman herself, is not gonna accept that.

Guys! Guys!
Do not wash our shit in public. Calm her down and talk with her privately. She is a teenage girl with BIG daddy complex, we have to be gently.
>>46142113
I second
We best Dad, not worst Dad
>>46142114
Saying this out in public sounds like the absolute worst thing to do. We need to calm her and talk in private
>>46142113
You tell Vanessa to calm herself before you get upset. She flinches, and you can see her horns receding, as well as her skin fade back to the normal sunkissed pink she likes. You tell her to meet you in your office when you get back, for a serious talk. She looks up at you, eyes both angry and sad, but your gaze breaks her, and she climbs down, setting both feet on the ground before wiping her eyes and teleporting away. You look to Legion and Shen.
"I didn't see shit, did you Legion?"
"Indeed, I was not witness to any familial quarrels this day."
You nod, and teleport the four of you back home. You have Legion bring Caitlyn to her room and then excuse yourself to your office to speak with Vanessa in private.
You find her sitting alone, slumped over in the guest chair and staring at the crystal decanter of whiskey on your desk. She doesn't look at you when you enter, or when you walk around to your desk and take a seat in your high backed chair. She only sits with her chin in her elbows, gazing at the reddish brown liquid in the crystal container.

>>46142654
Dont rush it OP, take you time. It is probably most important moment in this campaign so far.
in the meantime, ill post my favourite from yesterday. Thats for what we fight for folks!
>>46142454
You tell Vanessa you aren't angry with the way she behaved today, you're only disappointed that she would feel the need, let alone the right, to do so. You see her tuck her face into her elbows, ashamed to show it to you. You continue, letting her know that you still love her as much as you ever have, but that this is unacceptable, especially now that she's grown. You tell her that she needs to act her age, and while that doesn't mean the love between you has to weaken, it does mean she has to carry herself more respectably. Suits, jewelry, and heeled shoes aren't enough to make her mature.
As you speak, you can hear Vanessa gently sobbing into her sleeves. It's clear she means to hide the sounds of sniffling and shallow breaths, at least while you're speaking. When you finish, you wait for her to calm down, and hand her a tissue from the box in your right hand drawer. She looks up, takes it, and uses it to wipe away the running eye makeup from her face, as well as the tears and hint of snot from her nose. When she finishes, she blows into the tissue, and tosses it into the dustbin. You hand her another.
"I'm sorry, daddy. I thought all that was what you wanted. I thought you would be sad if I didn't try to be your little girl all the time. But if it'll make you happy to see me acting more mature, then I promise to try."
>"That's all I ask."

>>46142842
You tell Vanessa she will always be your little bundle of love and evil, but that she also needs to grow up now that she's older. You let her know that she doesn't have to change, but she does have to know when the situation calls for a more serious and mature demeanor. She wipes away more tears, and smiles, finally meeting your eyes for the first time since you arrived.
"Okay, daddy. I'll do my best. You don't have to make me a baby brother anymore either. I don't think I'm ready to teach a little baby yet."
>"Maybe someday, sweetie. The future is unpredictable."

Still, we need to do something to get Vanessa and Cait like each other, she really could use some friend, and who would be better?
>>46143066
>"Maybe someday you can have one of your own. I'll be there to help you."

>>46143108
>>46143137
You tell Vanessa that one day she might meet a boy she likes, and have a baby all her own. You even tell her you'd be happy to help her raise your grandchild, devil willing. She seems to find the notion humorous.
"Don't be silly daddy, I didn't forget that you and Uncle Ray put a curse on me so that if I ever kiss a boy, or let a boy see me naked, the whole universe will melt into lava. Duh!"
Suddenly it comes back to you. 18 years ago. You came home drunk with Ray, absolutely pissed, and woke Vanessa up in the middle of the night. You told Ray to put a fake spell on her after spending the whole night depressed about a 'filthy no good punk taking your precious princess of pain away from you to have his way with her innocent body'. Ray, even drunker than you, agreed, and you made up the story about the curse on her body.
"Daddy?" You look up, drenched in panic sweat, and see her sweet, smiling little face with her big, sparkling eyes. "You spaced out, daddy, are you okay?"
>"Yes, fine. Meeting adjourned."
>"Actually sweetie, about that spell..."
>"Hey! Who wants a hug!?"

>>46143370

"Since Ray is passing on soon, that spell is probably weakening. It might even be gone by the time he passes."

You do what you do best, lie cheat and steal your way out of a bad spot. You tell Vanessa that the spell will probably wear off soon, especially since Ray is sick, and won't be around for very long. She furrows her brow, and taps her finger to her chin. You worry she might see through the ruse, but luckily she'd probably believe you if you told her the sun had challenged you to single combat. Hell, she'd probably help you build a rocket to get there.
"I guess that makes sense..." You watch as her expression of confusion becomes one of excited embarrassment. "B-but... That means I won't be a... a virgin anymore..." You stand up, and toss your desk at the far wall, shattering the bottles of wine and whiskey on a shelf there, and tell Vanessa that you're done talking about this and ask for a hug, which she dives wholeheartedly into.
She leaves your office walking on air as usual, as you slump over in your high backed chair, wiping the sweat from your brow. You suddenly hear a strange crunching noise, and look up to see Sophia standing in the doorway, eating an apple. She looks rather smug.

You remain silent. Sophia smiles, taking another bite of her apple, at which point you cave and ask her to do better.
"Oh, I doubt I could raise a girl as sweet and innocent as her. Seeing her flutter around here, makes the rest of us jealous we might never get to feel love like that. But that's not why I'm here. I came to tell you about your girl with one eye, and her running mates." You stand, worried something bad may be happening again. "No, it's not anything bad. It's probably good, in fact. All of them are in the training yard, have been since dawn. They've been drilling, at her behest. Seems like she's really cracking down on them to improve, and quick."

Ask Sophia about her current relation with Marigold, and if things have calmed between them, have her follow you to the training afterwarts

perhaps too tough. Theres training and drill, and then theres maltreatment.
>>46143907
>"Maybe you should be training instead of snacking."
Give her love handles a good pinch too.
>>46143937
You head down with Sophia not far behind, and enter through the large doors to see all eighty-or so Hellraisers, dressed in tunics, sandals, and masks. They are each holding a training spear, and upon seeing you enter, one of them shouts for attention. They stop, stand, turn, and salute in perfect unison. Looking over them all, you can't tell one from the other, but you surely can't deny they seem particularly well oiled today.

You tell them to continue, and one of them shouts to return to first position. You watch as they perform what can only be called a dance of death, thrusting, swinging, and wielding their weapons with top notch form. They seem exhausted too, which makes it even more impressive that none of them are missing a step. After five repetitions, they call for a short rest, and each of them falls to the ground, sitting cross legged with their spears tucked into their knees to rise above their heads, and they all start to practice deep breathing. You approach, and begin walking through the gridlike ranks of the Hellraisers.
You observe each of them, men and women alike, with toned muscles and sunbaked skin, each breathing in near perfect time. When at last you come across one of them with a length of ginger hair falling from beneath her wool mask, you stop.

"My dark lord, the purpose of the Hellraisers is to serve as the elite fighting force of our master."

"As such, we have unanimously decided to begin a new training menu, collectively designed by us in order to maximize our combat effectiveness. It has already been approved by your daughter, and we have already seen tangible results. Please, allow a demonstration, and I can prove to you our dedication and discipline."
