World of Monsters CYOA (Part I)

I will go with B.

Hell this is even better than I suggested O_O Bullet being a sexy seducer to her former commander turned oni. We are leading this party on the best path! I'm so glad it worked out for them too~

Well, let's head to where we haven't been then, B.

That worked out really well.

Okay, going with B as well. Let's do some more investigating.

*Palpatine voice* Good, good...

Man I'm loving the influence we have on our ladies. That said, I vote C we ask if there is any other treasure and or hoard of valuables here, then B

With Mana turned obedient it was time to press on, heading left towards the path yet to be traveled. That led to another set of paths, one forward leading to an unknown place, one a ways to the right from that straight path that looped over to previous content and then a left hallway that was pretty short and seemed to lead to...a prison cell.

Celtica couldn't help but be curious, and if there were innocents trapped there then they would free them. Checking it out there weren't any guards but the prisoners couldn't exactly be called innocent either. Chained up to the wall were two monsters, one a wolf girl with short wild grey hair and the tattered remains of clothing, the other a harpy with multicolor feathers shifting between blue and yellow, similar colored hair, a lewd blue outfit and blue thunderbolt facial markings.

"Hey, hey! You aren't a big brute right? You're human! Help us out!" the Thunderbird pleaded. "And what do these oni want with you?" Celtica asked. "No clue, but we both were in their territory and got beaten up by them. Their drink stuff doesn't control us like it does humans though, so they keep us locked up and plan on doing who knows what." the wolf girl said.

These two were monsters, and them being trustworthy was uncertain. They could try and make some new wolves or harpies the moment they got loose. That said, they also both looked quite weakened and couldn't be much of a threat. "W-We'll do something for you if you let us out! Us monsters aren't all bad!" the Thunderbird pleaded once more.

A. Let them out.
B. Gather information on the oni from them, but leave them for now.
C. Try and enslave one to Asia's will via the Dominance Ring (If so, which one?)
D. Write-In.

Thunderbird design

Spoiler:

Hmmmm... I wonder if A would lead to a bad end... but still, maybe it would be wise to enslave one of them first. C. and Wolf Girl, we could use the collar on the harpy, if need be, or save it for someone special.

Seconding Rainday's picks.

It might be a bad idea to get too crazy on trying to control monsters, especially doing it to so many at once.

crazy narrative crafting rant:

For now, I'd prefer the B option.

Well I majorly want to see if the dominance ring works like Soma's or Shanoa's control where their souls merges and gives Asia new powers or transformations. But I definitely want to save Mana and her comrades, not for party members per say, but possibly to train our party, and possibly become a new party of adventurers that we can hang out with. Though having Mana on our side would be pretty nice, range fighter and demon hunter(not sure if she is a half-demon hybrid too).

A I really wanna hear their offer, that said, if the offer sucks, Use The dominance ring on the Wolf and the Harpy Collar on thunderbird

Since I'm seeing interest in it, just want to make sure. Use the Harpy Collar?
A. Yes
B. No

A only after we hear their bargain. It should go without saying, we keep the chained while we negotiate

B, I kind of want to save it for a Tengu if possible.

Lets talk some.A

Current standings for the two are-
What to do-
A: 2 (Assuming Aggra's A was for this question)
B: 1
C: 2

Whether to use the Harpy Collar-
A: 1
B: 1

Thunderbird, eh?

I think we should just let them out for the moment. A.

Yeah I wrote that strangely.
Let's say B for talking to them and hear their offer, and for the second question I think we shluld not ise the collar.

tilltherewas1 wrote:A only after we hear their bargain. It should go without saying, we keep the chained while we negotiate

I think tilltherewas1 also wants kinda B so 3 Bs?

I basically said I'm cool with option A (don't feel like waiting for a tengu, when we've got a bird in the hand) but I do want to hear what their bargain is.

Okay, so 3 As, so that nullifies the dominance ring and harpy collar currently. Let them out~

"Very well." Celtica said as she broke through the prison door with her blade and followed up by shattering their chains. "You should know that we killed the Slime Queen though. I highly recommend picking your next actions carefully." she said sternly, causing the Thunderbird to audibly gulp. "G-Got it...oh, uh, here!" the harpy said as she gave Celtica a bundle of feathers. "I don't know if you know about us Thunderbirds, but we are way stronger, and smarter, than ordinary harpies! Our feathers can quickly paralyze a human or monster!" she explained. While using them in battle without the the harpy's ability to launch them at high speed would be difficult, such things could be highly useful in weapon crafting.

"Talk about lame, I've got something that will really show you my thanks!" the wolf girl said, pulling out black metal claw weapons. "These claw gauntlets are weapons designed for us wolves, but you humans can use them too. They're really strong." she said. A brawler like Bullet might have a use for weapons like these, although Celtica wondered how safe monster weapons were for human use.

"We'll take this, so get lost and don't bother us." Celtica told them. "There's some oni guarding the entrance. Don't cause them any trouble and tell them that Boss Bullet let you go." Bullet added. The two nodded as they quickly darted off. With this area looked at, it seemed like the only path was to take yet another left and move forward through the hallway.

This hall was quite long compared to the others but at last they saw a path split to the side. Using Bullet to sneakily look inside, it seemed like it was a room with some booze and a long bookshelf with some small items along it, with a pair of oni at a table. There was another entrance to this room pretty close by it, and then straight ahead there was more. In the distance it seemed like there were more paths left and right, but it was hard to tell from where the party was.

A. Enter the room with the two oni.
B. Sneak by that room, head straight.
C. Sneak by that room, check for paths to the left.
D. Sneak by that room, check for paths to the right.
E. Write-In.

I think we've sufficiently covered our six. Let's jump this pair and loot the room.
A.

A

A.

A i guess, we can loot the room and then investigate the other paths.

The time for sneaking around was over, at least for the moment. They had to be pretty deep into the place now, it was time to beat down some oni. Celtica looked over to the hallway and nodded to the other girls, who nodded back before rushing in and attacking. The pair of red and blue oni seemed to be off duty at the moment and a sudden influx of humans left them quite caught off guard. "How the hell'd you get here!?" the red oni said in surprise as they took a flaming slash from Lina.

They weren't feared for nothing however, and even being surprised they were vicious fighters as the blue oni grinned. "I've been lookin' for a challenge." she said before flipping the large table over directly towards the party. Celtica sliced it in two with a big slash but was kicked into a wall by the blue oni who had charged in and right after was shot back by Elphelt. Bullet had moved in on the wounded red oni and was striking her in the face again and again.

The crash of the table was loud enough to alert at least one oni to the fight however as from the path they entered came a fierce looking purple oni with white markings adroning her muscular skin, long wild black hair and two horns with two fairly large clubs in her hands. "Humans! You'll regret messin' with us!" the violet oni said as she stomped forward and with a swing managed to force a guarding Artoria back towards the rest of the group.

Celtica soon got up and prepared to face off with all three oni. It was quite the brawl right now, they needed to decrease the enemy count fast.

A. The violet oni is the strongest, focus on her.
B. The red oni is the most injured, focus on her.
C. The blue oni seems very dangerous, focus on her.
D. Attempt to flee, this is a bad position.
E. Write-In.
