Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-39586542-20200824072111/@comment-43782881-20200829171911

'''I stared at her with a stony face. Posture,  commanding. A barrier spell at my fingertips. "Come easily my dear, your heart is mine anyways..." The Lilim spoke, her voice layered with seduction magic, and even my nose, deadened to most scents due to an accident early in childhood, could pick up the sweet aroma on her body. She was even more beautiful than all the monsters I had managed to outwit, and I could not deny there were many of them whom I might have been happy to join otherwise. But I would not let her get the best of me. I steeled my gaze.'''

'''"And what is that foolish pick-up line you've chosen?" She flinches. '''

'''"Oh, just trying a little something before I-" She lunges forward, arms outstretched. I raise the barrier and she crashes into it, crumpling to the ground in an undignified pile. She collects herself and scowls, before poking at the barrier. "Tch. If you stay here I'll have this pesky wall down before sunset. Why do you refuse my advances? I could take any man I wished. I think I would make a perfect match for one as accomplished as yourself."'''

"A city nearly brought to ruins by a wurm that I was fleeing from! An otohime who offered me her entire kingdom and her hand in marriage! A mindflayer who nearly got her tentacles on me forever! I have escaped the most persistent monsters on the planet! Scammed the Order out of their vast riches, and continue to walk free to this day! Were the Chief God to command me to do her bidding I would refuse, and a daughter of the Demon Lord will be no different. I wish to be alone. Find yourself another partner. 

"Hmmmmm...I really would prefer to have you. She leered. I see you've managed to throw those other monster girls off your trail. But I will not give up so easily. Tell you what. You can continue to flee and I'll follow you. I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. I won't let stop until you're in my arms, and know the true pleasures I can give you. Orrrrrrr...pick a place to hide yourself in. Do whatever you like to protect yourself. I'll be there at sunset. If I can't break in and find you by sunrise, I will leave you alone. But otherwise, well, you know. How does that sound, my dear?"

"Fine. I'll take any chance to get this over with sooner."

'''"Shall we shake on it?" '''

'''"That is a flimsy attempt at circumventing the challenge. I will write an agreement and we will both sign". I produced some paper and a pen, writing in plain terms, then showing it to her. Whe she was satisfied, I signed it, using a bit of magic to bind myself to the oath. I knew I would have to be serious if I was expecting her to hold her end of the deal. "Luckily for me, it is early in the day. I must return to my home to fortify it. I trust you see the promise I have made on this sheet?" I dropped the paper so she could pick it up. She bent over, her tail twitching and wow that's a nice butt-ACK! What am I thinking? I have to go. I teleported away, returning instantly to my home. Laura the lilim smiled, picking up the paper to add her own binding signature. '''

'''"Best of luck, my dear". '''

'''At home, I began to set up the first layer of defenses. Layers of offensive magic that would bombard an intruder with fire and lightning, invisible triggers that would manifest blades and deadly toxins. I almost thought better of the vicious Magic Beast that would devour anyone who dared trespass. No! I could not afford to limit my defenses against a lilim. Even if she was likely to render this first level of defense meaningless. Out of spite I placed a pitfall trap in front of the door. '''

'''Inside I set the second layer, an eldritch labyrinth of halls and staircases, twisting in and around each other. The air echoed with faint whispers, imploring the victim to go this way, no, that way, please, help me, run and don't look back, I sat in the center of the construct, making sure it was strong enough. It reminded me of the time I traveled through The Abyss in search of some sort of magic or trinket in my earlier days of adventuring. Nearly cost me my mind, and my freedom, at the hands of a mindlfayer. But I escaped. And now, I calmed my mind, shut out the voices, and stood up. It was complete. Closing my eyes, I walked forward, confident of my ability to escape. The air felt lighter, and I stepped out into the living room, the eldritch space hanging in the air, a small sphere ready to be deployed. '''

'''The third layer of defense was a puzzle, a great book placed on a stand, spelling out a poem in small handwriting. Full of fluff and misdirection, she would have to read it, comprehend it, and find the solution to open the door. I placed a protection on the door to ensure it would only open with the correct code.'''

'''With more time in the day, I knew I needed one more level. Brutish violence to greet the intruder. A maze to exhaust and discourage her, followed immediately by a puzzle that would test her brainpower. And finally...ah. How wicked. A final distraction. Behind the puzzle door I set a room full of lewd delights for my tired guest. A soft couch to rest on, food and drink to relax and a variety of means to pleasure hereself with. An aphrodisiac air, and a plethora of fake monsters to surround her with the sounds of pleasure. I left the room, enlaging the space of the adjacent hall to stretch out forever, impossible to advance unless you tried going the other way. Settling into my study as the sun disappeared past the horizon. A set of signals and cameras which would alert me if she managed to pass any of these layers of defense. '''

'''"Well, isn't this a nasty way to greet me." Laura put her hands on her hips, peering at the variety of grisly traps that had been set in front of the small house. "I thought better of that man." Putting up a protectiive shield, she strutted forward, the magical spells bouncing off harmlessly, and the various deadly hazards vanishing. She stopped at the roaring of the furious beast as it charged towards her, the ground thundering under its footsteps. "Bad dog." She raised her hands and gestured, a pacifying spell halting the beast in its tracks. It lay down, its head hung low. She gave it a pet and it vanished. As Laura walked up to the front door, she stumbled. "Ahhhhh! I've been trapped! A simple pit! May my end be swift! Or not." She flapped her wings and flew out of the pit, landing in front of the door. As she walked inside, she saw the first camera. '''

'''"I wouldn't have expected any of those to stop her anyway", I said to myself, As she walked by the camera, she winked, and I chuckled in spite of my focus. Was she humoring me with that pit trap?'''

'''Laura arrived in the living room and the eldritch sphere expanded. '''

'''"How horrid. I could get lost in here all night! Driven to madness! But there's a nicer form this little maze could take". Laura spoke to herself, trying to stave off the maddening effects of the maze. Sitting down, closing her eyes and attempting to remember what her mother had taught her about the eldritch beings.'''

"Like all monsters, they are frightening and dangerous. They want nothing more than to see humans go mad. But like the dragons and the werewolves, even they can be changed to a form more suited for mating with men. You must change their form, then instill in them the values of love and pleasure."

'''"I think...A wendigo perhaps? A shoggoth would be easier...Yes. I'll make a lovely slime to serve him". She raised her hands, focusing the power she had inherited at birth. The power granted by her mother to make beautiful, lustful monsters. Struggling with the spell the man had set, she finally managed to control it. It swirled and twisted and finally began to converge into a form, the shape of a human woman. The shape continued to twist, until the woman began to take the shape of a slime. She poured monster mana into the slime and it emerged into the form of lovely, slimy woman, purple skin and tendrils, soft breasts and tiny yellow eyes sprouting across her skin."How do you feel sweetheart?" Laura asked.'''

'''"Wh-who...what am-I" The shoggoth murmered, looking at her body in confusion. '''

'''"Ah, you must not have any memories?" The shoggoth stared blankly. "You are a monster girl. You started out as a construct ceated by a powerful wizard. But I changed you into a living being. You're now free to find a man to love and cherish.In fact, I'm going after one myself. He's somewhere in this house". The shoggoth looked at her own body silently for a while. Then turned towards Laura. '''

"I think I would like to find that man".

'''"Splendid! But I'm going to ask you to wait here. There may be more dangers up ahead. I'll come back when I've made sure it's safe, ok?" The shoggoth nodded and Laura left her sitting on the couch. Opening the door to the next room, she saw the pedestal with the large book, and the door on the other side. "No, no, no, no" she muttered, walking over to try the door, "No, No, No, No-" She pushed and shoved but the door wouldn't budge, "nononononononononononononono" No magic she could think of was working. She looked at the door and saw a small passcode screen, She ran over to the book and looked at the open page, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AAUUGHHH! I can't do puzzles you stupid smartypants wizard!" She sat on the floor and buried her face in her knees. "Why couldn't it be some other magic trick?"'''

'''"No amount of magic power will let you bypass this challenge, young lady!" I cackled, watching from the camera. "You'll have to use your brain!". I had been thoroughly astonished by the lilim's power to change my own spell into a monster girl, and was starting to worry she might pass the defenses faster than I expected, but it seemed she wasn't very good at puzzles. '''

'''"Alright, it's ok, I can do it. I have plenty of time." Laura stood up, collected herself, and stared at the camera in the corner. "BLEEHHHH" She stuck her tongue out at the camera. Then got to work. Reading the poem, using tools to make it easier to read, writing notes down, crossing things out, pacing around the room. "I've got it!" She ran to the door and typed in a string of letters and numbers. ERROR. "WHAT DID I DO WRONG!?" She ran back to the book. 80 minutes before sunrise, she arrived at the answer. CORRECT. The door lock clicked and she cheered, running into the next room. There, the sights and sounds of monster love flooded her senses and she sighed happily, "I should get my friend". She turned back and retrieved the shoggoth, guding her to the room. "Now sweetie, I'd like to show you what being a monster girl is all about." Laura sat on the couch, using the aids that the wizard had left to teach the shoggoth. She started to get involved herself, until her eyes snapped to attention. "Ah, dear, we have to get going. There will be plenty of time for this when we have our husband, ok?". '''

"OK".

'''"You know, I think we need a name for you." Humans have a name by which they use to refer to one another and themselves. How wuld you like to have one?"'''

"I think I'd like that. But I don't know what I would call myself."

"Well, how about...Susie?"

"It sounds so cute."

'''"Lovely!" I think we're almost there." Laura led Susie through the door and into a long hallway. On the other side was a door, unlike any of the others she had seen before. "There it is." They began to walk. But no matter how long they walked, it didn't seem to get closer. Laura snarled in frustration. She was just about to turn to Susie in the hopes she might have an aswer when she noticed her companion was gone. "Susie? Where fif you go?"'''

'''"Right here". There, Susie was standing on the other side of the hall. '''

'''"How did you-" She smacked her forehead. "Of course! She turned around and started walking back the way she came and suddenly found herself standing next to the door. "Did you figure out how to pass this trick?" She smiled at Susie.'''

'''"I thought it was trying to confuse us, so I thought maybe using a less logical solution would help". :Laura placed her hand on Susie's shoulder and pushed the door open. There was the man sitting i the center of the room, the same barrier spell surrounding him.'''

'''"The game's almost up." I said, almost to myself. As the lilim had solved the door puzzle, I had began to concentrate my power on a last defense. If she was able to solve the puzzle, then nothing else was likely to stop her. "Perhaps if you'd been stuck on the labyrinth you wouldn't have even made it here". '''

'''"Yes, well, I'm more clever than you gave me credit for." Laura tapped at the barrier, prodding at seemingly random points. But a thin crack began to appear on its surface. I tried not to lose faith. Our agreed-upon time in the contract was barely 20 minutes away, you could almost see outside the window but the sun wasn't quite up yet. The lilim summoned a ball of magic and pushed it into the barrier. More cracks. I could not lose! I reshaped the barrier to a more compact form that would surround my body. The lilim looked surprised as she managed to almost touch me. '''

"Say, darling, isn't it time you admitted defeat? I have you right where I want you. This is Susie, she's also interested in-"

'''"I haven't lost! Try to touch me and you'll see I am still protected!". Laura poked his cheek but all she felt was the same magical barrier he had placed in front of himself earlier. '''

"Hm, Susie, would you like to get to know this man better? She guided Susie behind the man, and sat her so that he was sitting in Susie's lap, her body conforming to the shape of a chair, her tendrils coiling around his limbs. Laura sat on top of him, wrapping her arms around his body and kissing his cheek. I could not feel the sensations, but the barrier was growing weaker, and despite my mana cleanser I had drank to protect myself from her influences, it wasn't strong enough. At 5 minutes, I felt the barrier flicker. How infuriating! So close to the time limit, and these monsters were acting like they'd won. I needed something. Anything to buy myself a little time. 

'''And I thought of that spell. A cheap parlor trick I had learned when I was much earlier in my career, incredibly simple to cast and guaranteed to warp the user a short distance. Escape the monsters' clutches, run out the door and erect a new barrier. I could erect a dozen barriers! Just long enough to delay that lilim. "Tails never fails". I thought grimly. I didn't even need to say or do anything. I would know if the spell succeeded or not. I cast the spell and TTHHHHHBBBBBBTTTTT. The sound of a loud fart filled the room. The two monsters lookd around in surprise, but smiled when they found the barrier had vanished and were able to feel the man's body properly. "Of all the things to lose to" I sighed, as my brain was overwhelmed by the feelings of the 2 monsters. '''

'''"Got you!" Laura said, as she and Susie kissed him. And the sun began to rise, on the day a great wizard was foiled by his own tricks, and the 2 monster girls that had bested him.'''

'''"I'm so glad we were able to come together". Susie smiled, She was hanging on her husband's arm, Laura on the other, as they prepared to meet Laura's mother. The door opened and the Demon Lord walked in, smiling at the three of us.'''

'''"Laura! I'm so happy to see you've gotten a partner. Ah, and another girl of your own making! She came out beautifully." The Demon Lord peered at Susie. "And Mr. Addison. Tucker. It's so nice to meet you. Do you know how many monster girls I've heard talk about you? You've had a lot of escapes. It looks like my Laura finally got you huh?" I nodded.'''

"MIss, uh, Demon Lord I"

"Please, you can call me [---]"

"Well, then...I will not apologize for the monsters I have left. But now that I have met your daughter, and Susie, I could not imagine a day wiithout them. I will treasure our relationship as long as I can".

"Wonderful. And what do you plan to do now? You're always welcome to stay at the castle but I see you have a home of your own?"

'''"We're going to stay at his house for a while, Then maybe travel for a while?" What do you think Susie?"'''

'''"I would like to see as much of this world as I can. And I want to spend more time with my sister and my husband.". '''
