Part 1= Having traversed the ocean to Zipangu, you find yourself drawn by a melodious singing voice towards a glade. In the steaming pool at its centre you see a half-submerged woman. With a misplaced step you break a branch that gains her attention. She inspects you then beckons you with a lascivious smile. The steam clears as you approach the pools edge. You soon realise she is no ordinary woman but a: Gyoubu Danuki Nekomata Ryu Akaname Inari Jurougumo Crow Tengu Shirohebi

After your steamy rendezvous in the forest, you find yourself at a crossroads. There is a sign post in front of you with a number of locations listed. Unfortunately, You are unable to turn back as the bridge you passed over collapsed. So you take a moment to read the sign and choose your path: The Harpys Nest Vulpine Valley Dragon Peak Tentacle Grove Mermaid beach Darkbeast Forest

You decide to make camp after your journey. you also gained a new traveling companion, but she decided to scout ahead while you rest. After she disappears you hear a commotion nearby, on inspection you find a group of oni fighting and making merry. You have time to kill but are unsure of what to do: Challenge the largest red oni to a fight. Have a drink with the cute blue oni that is sat on her own. Run through the middle of their party wearing only your cape. Go and arm wrestle the ogre in the mud pit. Challenge them to a drinking contest. Start flirting and see where you get. Run away with your tail between your legs. Go and math debate with the glasses wearing blue oni.

You finally make it to the Zipangu capital. Being low on resources you make a deal for some quick coin with a merchant. Unfortunately, you fall for the scam of a chocolate Gyoubu Danuki. And with a cheeky smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye, she gives you a few options for repaying her. Sell your body to her, she is rather cute. Work for her, what is wrong with a little labour for a few weeks? Run away, although she did mentioned something about slavers... Offer to repay her in five easy installments, then disappear. could she find you? Try to scam her back and reverse the debt, you are smart enough... right? Find the nearest order encampment, like hell you are working for a scheming little fuzzball.

After a month of working for The Gyoubu Danuki, you feel you deserve a break. So you decide to investigate a mountain retreat on your day off. But your luck was failing again. The hot-spring was already occupied by two groups; One lead by a Ryu, the other lead by an Inari. After an hour of them bickering, they offer a few suggestions for your stay: The Inari said she would give you a private magic lesson in her room. Her nine tails look wonderful. Do you go? The Ryu offered to help your situation if you helped her with a ritual. She seems nice if a bit overbearing, do you help her? One of the Ryu's Shirohebi offered to give you her special full-body massage. She seemed very sweet and a massage sounds perfect. do you try it? One of the Inari's Miko would keep you company if you felt lonely. Her mischievous smile kept catching your eye. Do you let her join you? Leave the retreat and return to the Trader, She is cute. Maybe she can help you relax? Just Run, i am not dealing with anymore of this!
 * -|Part 5=

The Inari's offer was too good to be true. Once in her room she gave you a few choices before she would start your 'Training' as she called it. Each time she mentioned 'Training' her ears wiggled and a mischievous smile spread across her face. Once you were both sat and the terms were made, she told you to return after completing one of the following: She asked for you to retrieve her staff, apparently a dog woman stole it from her. Play a prank for her on the Ryu Priestess, something about touching a scale on her butt. Run down the mountain in a red cape. No idea what she meant, but her tails wiggled when she said it. Go higher up the mountain and retrieve a fur coat for her. Apparently a little girl stole it. Forget what she said and 'Touch fluffy tail' those lustrous brushes look amazing! I think this is a bad idea, the look on her face is worse than the Traders... i kind of miss her now. The door is open but the Inari's Miko is watching me from it... Run!
 * -|Part 6=

After your conversation, the Inari turned to pour a cup of tea. so you casually reached forward and 'Touched fluffy tail'. The fur was the softest thing you had ever felt. But you soon realised the tail had curled up your arm and the inari was watching you with a grin. Your mind felt heavy and within a blink you were suddenly chained to a wall. The inari and ryu were in front of you with a group of women. The inari noticed you rouse and said you were to be punished for touching a priestess, the mischievous glint never leaving her eye. A lady with moving hair said you could work at the spa to repent for what you did. A pair of red skinned women cracked their knuckles and said they could massage the pervert out of you. One of the Ryu's Shirohebi bowed and said that if you prayed with her then you could be forgiven. The Inari's Miko whispered that she could free you for a price. Your heart sank when you noticed the trader was in the other room. do you call out to her? The Inari pointed to a door and said you could choose it. From the other side you could hear growling.
 * -|Part 7=

Everyone was surprised when you chose the quiet Shirohebi. It shocked her the most, so much that her pure white skin and scales flushed. But as she dragged you along you felt something grab your collar. It was the trader, she did not look happy. After a short explanation she conceded and followed. Once in a room they told you to strip and kneel, after doing so they undressed before sitting in front of you. both of them looked amused, although the Shirohebi's skin was now a light pink. The situation was very different from what you expected. The shirohebi said 'you will pray with your body while i squeeze the pervert out of you'. But the trader seemed jealous and said 'i can do it myself'. Although she grinned and said 'why don't we both teach your dirty mind and body a lesson?' When you looked to the door the Inari's Miko waved and asked 'this looks fun, can i join?' A quick look to the window revealed the Ryu and Inari were spying on you, what if you ran at them? Or do you stand up, wave it about, then boast that you could take them all?
 * -|Part 8=

True to her word, the Shirohebi squeezed you late into the night. Leaving you very sore the next morning. But that was not the end of it, that morning the trader dragged you back to town and proceeded to take her frustration out on you. Never had you felt so exhausted in your life, but the fluffy eared girl laid sated with a blissful smile. All you had left was the decision of where to go next. You looked at the girl at your side thinking if you should go to the next town with her. Or do you decide to leave and travel on your own? You still felt annoyed with the Inari, do you pay her shrine a visit? The ryu looked to be having fun playing with herself as she watched, how about some payback? On the way back to town you overheard an expedition would be heading to some mines down south. Or maybe heading west and into the jungles would be interesting? you had read about some ruins there.
 * -|Part 9=

In a set of fortunate events, you find that your earlier traveling companion was the source of this information. The young Lizard-man had decided to scout the surrounding area in the time you had spent in the town. So after meeting her again you set off into the jungle with another group of adventurers. Once you arrive you find a stone city with a stepped pyramid at one end. The majority of the group were undecided so left you to pick their route. One of the men mentioned large bird tracks heading to the west of the city, do you instigate? The lizard-man looked at the temple with a glint in her eyes, do you go with her? Unfortunately, The Danuki had tagged along in search of treasure, she appears to want to go to the centre of the place. A young female adventurer noticed large cave entrances in the side of the valley the city was in, do you explore? A male knight pointed to an odd overgrown part of the city, he appears to want to investigate, do you go?
 * -|Part 10=

Your Boisterous Lizard-man companion gained the better of the group as she dragged you to the far side of the city. Nature had done its part as trees and flowers sprouted from various places. But the Air became thick and heavy as everyone approached the Pyramid, Around its base an assortment of purple grasses and black barked trees were growing. The Trees ultramarine leaves providing a little shelter from the sun. The Lizard-man was eager to explore as she dragged you up the steps. But the Danuki grabbed your arm, she wanted to leave after spotting some large snake skins. The Male Knight seemed eager and wanted to investigate a side entrance that was hidden behind purple vines. One of the men said he noticed a patch of giant plants they should investigate. The young female adventurer wanted to explore a smaller temple that was free from the strange coloured vegetation.
 * -|Part 11=

It was a long trek to the top. The others followed, but when you checked, only the female adventurer, Danuki and knight were left. The air felt thicker and everyone had started to sweat, a cackling that sounded like a hiss brought everyone's attention to the dark entrance of the pyramid. A woman appeared from the dark, her lower body that of a snake, Her eyes covered by an ornate metal plate. She asked everyone why they came and to speak in turn. Your Excitable friend shouted that she was seeking treasure and adventure! The Female adventurer was more reserved and said she sought to discover the history of the place. The Male knight kept his hand ready on his sword, but said he sought to improve and test himself. The Danuki grabbed your free arm and said she would do anything that could help her business. You appeared more worried about the situation than the others and wanted to call out the possible trap, But that fine snake booty had you like 'Whaaaa?!' and you couldn't take your eyes off it.
 * -|Part 12=

You stood there dumbfounded by the snake woman's beauty. She smiled when it felt as thought your eyes met. 'Very well, you two may get your wishes.' She pointed to the young woman and knight then clicked her fingers. In a blur of scales, a pair of Lamia appeared from the darkness and dragged them into the temple. 'They will find their history and improvement, now what to do with you three?' 'i want to go home now...' the Danuki tugged your arm. But the Lizardman stood straighter with her free arm on her sword. 'I will fight for my companions, you had better not harm them.' The snake woman looked taken back. 'Oh no, they will not be harmed, but you are all free to watch their... history and improvement.' You looked at the pair, not wanting to leave or fight, you wanted to stay and explore. Just not this temple.
 * -|Part 13=

Holding on for your life was all you could do, apart from screaming. Your lizardman companion was exploding with energy as she raced into the depths of the temple. A few torches guided her way past various dark intersections but she remained undeterred. And with a girlish wail your companion tripped, leaving you both in a pile. A third screaming body fell on top of you both, but it was the trader who smiled when you looked. Peering over a rocky drop revealed three bridges leading to different tunnels. The first bridge was covered in shed snake skins and the pleasured screams of a woman could be heard from its tunnel. On the second bridge the Knights sword could be seen among various pieces of shed clothing. some looking very old. The third bridge appeared clear and well kept, although a few gold coins could be seen at the tunnel entrance on the far side.
 * -|Part 14=

There was only one option that you were going to take. Your honour urged you to help the woman in distress. So you dragged your companions along the snake bridge and down the tunnel on the other side. Once you reached its end you found yourself in a large open space with a pit at its centre. Glancing down you could see multiple snake women chanting around the female adventurer. Her legs appeared fused together while snakes bit into the flesh on her legs and seemed to be merging with her body. Do you race down to save her? the pit is filled with snakes and the snake women. Or do you look for an alternative way to save her? the candle bearer hanging over the pit might be useful. Maybe you are way out of your depth, your companions have already thrown up, do you run for it?
 * -|Part 15=

You looked to the boisterous Lizard-man, she glanced to the candle bearer and came to the same conclusion. Grabbing you with her tail, the Lizard-man jumped and grabbed the candle bearer while you reached for the female adventurer. Screams of frustration echoed in the chamber when you disappeared to the other side of the pit. Looking down, the female adventurers legs were partly scaled and appeared to be separating. The last of the snakes had fused with her before you could pull them away. The trader was already with you by the time you landed, she had run around the pit. She might not be human anymore, do you leave her behind and make your escape? But even so, she was deceived and you all need to escape now. Although the knight still needs help, do we go back for him? even with the danger.
 * -|Part 16=

With the snakes in the pit the group managed to escape and return to the town. The female adventurer was shocked to find her new body and was still coming to terms with what happened to her. She almost looked like your Lizard-man friend except for the scales being fine and her feet and hands being human in shape. After a day of rest you all decided to leave the town behind to continue your journey. The female adventurer wanted to repay you for saving her so asked if she could join. Take her with you and travel to the plains. Take her with you and travel across the mountains. Leave her behind and travel to the plains Leave her behind and travel across the mountains.
 * -|Part 17=

A week had passed since leaving the temple. And the female adventurer had become accustomed to her altered body, although the new urges she felt unnerved her. At camp one night she decided to sit close to you, an uncomfortable although not unwelcome closeness on such a cold night. The lizard-man and trader had gone to the local town for supplies. It would be nice, except her stubby tail was trying to work its way into your clothes. Maybe she is just trying to warm up? like the lizard-man when she feel cold. Do you wait and see what she is up to? it might just be innocent in the end. Although you are sure you saw her smirk when her tail moved. Do you turn the tables and mess with her? Considering she talked to you at length about her worries with her new urges, do you stop her? Or do you take the initiative and play with her instead? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 * -|Part 18=

Remembering back, that first night spent with the female adventurer was an interesting one that left you sore. But a year had passed now and your group had grown. You only started off on your own, now the core members comprised of the Female Adventurer, Danuki and Lizard-man. Looking across your camp, the rest of your party were busying themselves, you wondered where to go next, so thought you would ask the; Minotaur Princess who was currently arguing over the food supplies with a wyvern you met in the mountains. Manticore who was sunning herself on a rock while talking with her were-rabbit friend. Young Ryu who was practicing her rain magic to the annoyance of the Salamander you fought near a volcano. Young queen Hornet and the Tengu twins you embarrassed when you stumbled upon them bathing in a lake.
