"That's a heavy breakfast, hon," Sabs said with another chuckle.
"It's more like, uh, lunch for us right now," Beth replied with a shrug. "I'm gonna hangout in the room all day and chill. Whatever you're up to today, I'll be around."
"I need to train more. Do you know what the status ...
2023-11-07 18:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post"We came here with a major from base-" the sergeant began before the soldier interrupted.
"Ma'am!-" he exclaimed, clearly ready to continue before the sergeant interrupted his interruption.
"Jones, why don't you go secure the perimeter of the parking lot?" she said acerbically, again ...
2023-11-06 18:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Ravager fell as Beth ruminated, carefully controlling the battle, even when it emitted its frost blast attacks. Blood wound up gaining a level of Ice Resistance after the fight, but they gained nothing else of note. It seemed the dungeon was consistent in that as well, for they were getting nothing as they progressed ot...
2023-11-02 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThey headed down to the kobold mines the next day, taking the lefthand branch again to look for beasts to kill. They found that most of the kobolds had respawned and spent the rest of the day raising the lower-leveled girls overall levels. They managed to get them up to level twenty-two before they stopped for the day and headed back to the CRA ...
2023-11-01 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe two woke the next morning without any need for an alarm, going through their daily tasks before gearing up and heading out. They made their way to the lounge, meeting up with Beth's sisters as they got ready to head back and check the ant and wolf dungeons. Beth stopped by the center table and let John and Navere know that they would be back...
2023-10-31 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Wouldn't I do better in the Ruby Hall?" Soph asked as soon as Jaq seemed finished with his explanation.
"There is nothing that restricts you, at lower ranks, from joining another Hall," Jaq replied a bit acerbically. "There are restrictions to changing your 'Home Hall,' as it were, at higher ranks, but that will n...
2023-10-30 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostBeth led the way inside, showing the rest of the group the suite, with Blood showing them where the potion she had sniffed out had been located. Beth then showed how she had found a few copper coins on a shelf to the group, with there being a fresh copper sitting in the same place. Beth found it quite interesting, thinking about how long it had ...
2023-10-26 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"You gonna stay in here the rest of the day?" Beth asked.
"Yeah, we wasted a little too much of the day helping the neighborhood for me to go bother John for training. I'll just hangout for now," Sabs replied. "And just to double-check, but the hammer and broken gauntlets do mean you're going to the forging room?"&...
2023-10-25 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Perfect," Beth huffed, pushing the door open and hopping out of the truck. Jaq had parked with the passenger side facing the community center, and Beth found herself in front of a growing group of the neighborhood's 'adults.'
"The hell is this, soldier?" Zack immediately barked, staring at the truck with some mixt...
2023-10-24 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"We will work on this first, as it's easier," the smith started, gesturing to the dents in the solid armor vambrace section. "We will bring these dents back out to flush and check the integrity of the metal. I'll show you the first part."
"How can we hammer the dents out without getting our hammers in the inside of...
2023-10-23 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe two stayed like that for somewhat more than a minute, Beth reluctant to get up from the pleasant embrace. Eventually, she hoisted Sabs up and set her on her feet before hopping up herself, squatting down to grab the chest and lift it. She went through the motions to return it to her shoulder, shrugging to settle it before starting for the CR...
2023-10-19 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThey moved further down, eventually coming to the hexagonal room. It was fully dark, and Beth took the opportunity to show Sabs the mana lamps on the pillars, walking her through the process of pushing a tiny thread of mana in to light them. The small girl had to reach just above her head to touch the lamps, but she still managed with only sligh...

Besides the primary enchantment, it has both fitting enchantments, as you just experienced, as well as a durability enchantment," he explained as Beth twisted her neck and looked up and down.
"How strong?"...
2023-10-17 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostBeth woke a little fitfully quite a few hours later, releasing Sabs' waist to reach up and rub at her eyes and face. She might still be getting used to all the changes from the day before, and she sighed as she thought of everything that had happened.
"Beth?" Sabs mumbled sleepily.
Be...
2023-10-16 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Ya oughta test each new power ya get thoroughly, but we can go over that later," Baelvyr threw in.
"Right," Beth replied before re-focusing. "What else? Uh, I can see into the infrared. It's not quite like an infrared camera or app, it looks a little different, but I can 'see' heat now. Beyond that, I can see the ...
2023-10-12 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post"Got the data," said Baelvyr a moment later as he emerged from the charnel path he had carved deep into the woods.
"I'm amazed you could get anything out of that smear of meat paste," Jaq replied with a slight frown, taking a small token from Baelvyr's massive hand and inserting it into a slot in the arm of his gea...
2023-10-11 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostShe immediately ducked a slash with a quick bob, charging Monstrous Blow from the start of the motion. She stepped forward into his next slash, bringing her blade around from the right with a fast twist as she took his slash on her shoulder from his righthand blade. Just as her blade was about to bite into the armor of his ...
2023-10-10 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostBlood chuffed in response and moved forward to study the two items sitting before them. The objects seemed almost tailor made for the two, or at least, it seemed there was a pretty clear bias in the rewards. On the left pillar was a harness with some cloth stretched between some of the sections. Alongside this arrangement was a pile of metal pie...
2023-10-09 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe deflection had pushed her back slightly, but she was relieved that she was able to counter the raw physical strength of the boss without being overwhelmed. They engaged in a flurry of exchanged blows, once again showing the truth in Baelvyr's admonishment that strength can become speed. The boss really didn't have much DEX comparative to its...
2023-10-05 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHer prediction proved accurate, as they hit forty-one after the fourth room, Beth estimating that they were maybe a third of the way through the dungeon. The room had taken some time, as the singular overseer had been level forty-three, and all the tougher for it. Beth was dumping a decent chunk of Blood's free points in STR, doing the same for ...
2023-10-04 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThey strode back down to the room, finding the large kobold still waiting for them. It was clear right from the outset that this beast was both faster and much stronger than anything they had faced so far. Beth engaged it immediately after the frost blast, noting that instead of a wooden rod or pole, this beast clutched a massive hunk of lumber ...
2023-10-03 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Alright," Beth said as she stretched after checking their statuses, "I think we're good now. Sorry about the long sleep, girl, I think using the gate so much put me under strain. I still feel a little…stretched thin."
Blood rumbled a little in response, headbutting Beth lightly before the armored girl grabbed th...
2023-10-02 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThey ran for quite a while before encountering anything, already getting close to their destination by that point. They bumped into a huge deer, a buck with a massive rack that put its head down and charged them as soon as it saw them approach. Blood leapt towards it and twisted to the side at the last moment, far too fast for the level fifteen ...
2023-09-28 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe two were quiet then for a minute, working on finishing everything they had prepped for breakfast. Blood had been paying attention to the conversation herself, if her right ear twitching towards the two when they were speaking was any indication. The three were done in another couple minutes, even Sabs eating at a rapid pace and packing the f...
2023-09-27 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostBeth woke up rather early the next morning, feeling the lovely warmth of her girlfriend pressed close. The good did come with a little bad, at least, it would be bad in Sabs book, though Beth didn't care. She was feeling the stream of drool that had flowed across the top of her left breast and onto her left arm, caring far more that Sabs found i...
2023-09-26 17:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"What's up?" Beth asked as she set the underwear and elixir on the end of the vanity.
"Sorry, just a little, like, nervous, I guess," Sabs said as she finished washing her hands and wiping before exclaiming, "Beth!"
She had turned to find Beth shirtless and bent over, in the pro...
2023-09-25 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post"Apart from you trying to be clever, I'll take that advice," she replied with another sigh.
"So, uh, what exactly is happening?" James asked.
"I'm being pulled from my vastly more important work to babysit the children. Again," Jaq bit off.
"A silver?" he asked, voice squeaking just a bit on the end of the word silver. "Isn't that a lot?"
"Nah, I mean, you can clear a simple dungeon like the ones near our family's house once a day and get a silver, and my room is a lot nicer than the cheaper ones, which are still pretty good."

2023-09-20 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostShe poked through the first two offices, finding very little other than a few coins, before looking around the third and largest office. She found a small pamphlet on the first of the two shelves on the left side of the office, but found it was all gobbledygook. She poked around the seating area and found nothing before moving on to the desk and...
2023-09-19 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHigher level enemies seemed more aware and alert in several ways, as most if not all beasts below level twenty would basically ignore every indicator of enemies or battle unless it was close enough to be within their limited sphere of perception. Enemies over level twenty had started to be more aware of sounds and visual cues, as demonstrated by...
