− | You | + | ===To Dracia!=== |
+ | After completing Act One and the [[Winter City]] section of [[In Her Footsteps]], you will need to complete the smuggling operation in the first section of [[The Siege of Khor'minos]]. Once you've reported your findings to the Winter City, [[Calise]] will have the new talk option '''[To Dracia!]'''. Alternatively, you don't have to speak with her and can instead head straight to the Winter City. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the Winter City temple, [[Captain Livernon]] will be there waiting for you. After introductions, you will be joined by [[Daliza]] and [[Etheryn]]. Daliza will let you know that the trip to Dracia is a two-day sail, and that you will need to be ready. At this point in time, [[Gytha]] will have a split path; if you do not arrest her and place her in the [[Wayfort]] dungeons, she will make her way to Dracia and become the Dragon Knight boss that is encountered later on. If you do arrest her, [[Melara]] will be the Dragon Knight instead. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now is the time to make sure you have everything you want to take with you. | ||
+ | *'''Ready:''' You're as ready as you'll ever be! | ||
+ | *'''Not Yet:''' You're not quite ready to embark on an adventure of this magnitude yet. | ||
+ | *'''Hard trip, you say?:''' What made the trip here so difficult? Anything you need to be concerned about? | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''NOTE: Once you select [Ready], Etheryn is locked into the party and Daliza appears as a guest companion. You may choose one other companion to accompany you, with Arona having the most extra dialogue and interactions. Bringing [[Ashelander|Ashe]] along with you also provides extra dialogue and insight. If Arona is your Dom, you will not get a choice when you defeat Alissa; Arona will automatically kill her.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Ready to Set Sail==== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Once you've set sail on the [[Auroran Vigil]], you'll meet [[Lady Juno]], Livernon's wife. After being shown around, you will have a moment of down time to speak with some of the other NPCs. Each interaction is a one time interaction; if you skip one you won't be able to go back. | ||
+ | *'''Etheryn:''' Go and check in on the pensive princess. Even by Ryn's standards, she seems nervous. | ||
+ | **'''Help Alissa:''' How does Ryn think she can help Alissa? | ||
+ | **'''Future Plans?:''' When Alissa's finally dealt with, one way or the other, what does Ryn want to do with a future free of the old queen's shadows? | ||
+ | **'''Leave:''' Say goodbye to Ryn. | ||
+ | *'''Daliza:''' You're setting sail towards Daliza's homeland. She'll certainly have some thoughts to share. | ||
+ | **'''Dracian History:''' Ask Daliza to give you the rundown on her clan's past. | ||
+ | **'''About Dragons...:''' What can Daliza tell you about the dragons of Dracia? Is there any chance you'd encounter one in your mission? | ||
+ | **'''Dracia's Last Jarl:''' Ask about the last Jarl of Dracia. | ||
+ | **'''The Island's Layout:''' What can Daliza tell you about Dracia's physical layout? | ||
+ | **'''Leave:''' Take your leave from the Bailiff. | ||
+ | *'''Arona:''' Arona seems oddly serene for the moment. Might be worth checking in on the big brawler. | ||
+ | **'''Yes:''' Sure, you'll partake in a little Kervus seafaring ritual with your subby amazon. ''(grants the [[Sorran Woad]] status buff - grants +25 Storm Resistance and +25 Ward)'' | ||
+ | ***'''Ride Dick:''' Arona's still rocking a visible chub after the warpaint went on. She could use a chance to blow off some steam - and you could use a fat orc cock in your vag/ass. ''(only available if PC did the warpaint scene)'' | ||
+ | **'''No:''' You're not much for Kervus superstition. ''(only Arona gets [[Sorran Woad]])'' | ||
+ | **'''Livernon & Juno:''' Arona seemed to know an awful lot about Captain Livernon and Lady Juno. What's their story? | ||
+ | **'''The Sailgraves:''' Dracia's deep into the Sailgraves. Anything you should know? | ||
+ | **'''Leave:''' Say goodbye to Arona. | ||
+ | *'''Livernon:''' Go check in with the captain and his bewitching wife. | ||
+ | **'''Their Careers:''' Captain Livernon and Lady Juno no doubt have had a storied career together... | ||
+ | **'''Juno's Magic:''' She says she's been at this since she was a teenager? | ||
+ | **'''Dracia:''' Do the pair know anything about the island you're headed to? | ||
+ | **'''The Siege:''' How has the Khor'minoan Navy been handling the siege of their city? | ||
+ | **'''You and Livrea:''' So, the proud parents of Khor'minos' most adorable bard know you and she have gotten close, do they...? ''(only available if the PC has romanced Livrea)'' | ||
+ | **'''Flirt With The Couple:''' These two are proving to be an extremely affectionate, loving couple. Perhaps you could convince them to include you for tonight...? | ||
+ | **'''Leave:''' Head back down to the main deck. | ||
+ | *'''Wait:''' You've done all you care to on the deck of the ''[[Auroran Vigil|Vigil]]'' for today. Head belowdecks and get some rest - you're going to need it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you've done all the talks, or selected the '''[Wait]''' option, you can choose a bedmate for the night. Daliza and Etheryn only appear as options if the PC has sexed them before, and the Mino Couple only appear as an option if you flirted with them during your talk. | ||
+ | *'''Alone:''' Climb into your hammock and get some shut-eye. | ||
+ | *'''Etheryn:''' Cuddle up to the cute little princess tonight. ''(if Daliza is set as your bedmate, the Ryn & Dal scene will play instead)'' | ||
+ | *'''Daliza:''' Enjoy the company of your loyal swordmaster tonight. ''(if you've sexed Ryn, the Ryn & Dal scene will play instead)'' | ||
+ | *'''Mino Couple''' | ||
+ | **'''DP Juno:''' Enjoy a healthy helping of mino-milf milk before you and the Captain plow into the sorceress from both sides. | ||
+ | **'''Cock Worship:''' Join the sorceress in giving her husband's dick the worship a majestic mino-cock deserves, before he rails you into a quivering mess in his bed.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====The Wraith-Touched==== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | At 3:00 AM, the PC and the rest of the crew are woken by shouts and an alarm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Running to the deck, you and your companions will look in at land to see dozens, maybe hundreds, of wraith-touched shooting arrows and hurling spells onto the deck of the ship. Juno will summon an enormous arc of lightning and take out almost all of the wraith-touched, but it will put her out of commission. Livernon will grab her and protect her, leaving the rest of the fighting up to the party as the remaining wraiths begin to crawl over the railings of the ship. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will face a group of [[Wraith-Touched Raiders]], consisting of a [[Twisted Troll]], a [[Shadowcaster]], and two [[Wraith Raider|Wraith Raiders]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Whether you win or lose the battle, Juno will assist in pushing back the wraith-touched; if you win, however, you get your sleep buffs as a reward. As you approach Dracia, night will fall as the ship reaches land and your party will depart onto [[Dracia]] via levitation by Juno. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Dracia=== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | <blockquote> | ||
+ | ''Dracia Keep is easily four times the size of Castle Hawkstone back home, sprawling across the southern tip of its vast island. Its walls are towering but no longer solid, crumbling in a dozen places almost down to the foundations. Ice clings to the stone, giving it a brilliant luster even as it slowly erodes the castle's protection year by year. A single, massive tower rises far above the walls, reaching well into the clouds above; how anyone is supposed to climb all the way up there without their heart bursting, you haven't the slightest idea, but that tower alone seems to have survived the passage of years unscathed. Even the inner keep, just visible over the curtain walls, seems well worse for wear, half collapsed under its own ill-kept weight. | ||
+ | </blockquote> | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | ====The Courtyard==== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | From here on, it is possible to trigger random encounters with groups of [[Imps]], consisting of 3 [[Imps]] and 2 randomly drawn from:[[Imp Shanker|Imp Shankers]], [[Imp Warlock|Imp Warlocks]], and either type of [[Demon Smugglers]]. All of these imps are [[Queen Alissa|Alissa's]] offspring. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the southeastern side of the Courtyard, by the Docks, is [[Grungendyr]]. He is the spirit of the massive boar that killed [[Etheryn|Ryn's]] father. Legend tells that it feasted on the flesh of the Wraith-touched and grew to the size of a draft horse due to the corruption. With [[Kasyrra|Kasyrra's]] help, Alissa took the great boar's skull and used it as a totem to summon and bind the spirit. From here, you will be able to: | ||
+ | *'''Attack''' | ||
+ | *'''Leave''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since he is a Ghost & Beast, he is vulnerable to magic/elemental damage, especially Holy and Blight damage. Ryn starts the fight with 3 turns of [[Combat Effects#Terrified|Terrified]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the boar has been defeated, the option to take the totem with you will appear: | ||
+ | *'''Take Totem:''' You'll be taking this spirit-bound skull with you. Ryn is very obviously not going to be thrilled by this choice. ''(Ryn -5 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Doing this grants you the power [[Summon Grungendyr]]. While he is summoned, Ryn is [[Combat Effects#Terrified|terrified]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Cloudreach Tower==== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | The Cloudreach Tower rests in the center of the Courtyard and has 3 floors, each one with unique events. The tower is optional and, as such, it is possible to miss all of the loot and items that come from this section. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====First Floor===== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | On the first floor, you will encounter a group of Corrupted Guards made up of two [[Corrupt Spawn#Corrupt_Elf|Corrupted Elves]] and one of each type of [[Demon Smugglers|Demon Smuggler]]. You will have the option to: | ||
+ | *'''Ambush:''' Slip into the shadows and strike when the corrupted elves least expect it. ''(AGI check, succeeds with 66%)'' | ||
+ | **Check Succeeded: Combat starts with the party having [[Combat Effects#First_Strike|First Strike]] and all the elves gaining 3 rounds of [[Combat Effects#Staggered|Staggered]] and [[Combat Effects#Terrified|Terrified]] | ||
+ | **Check Failed: No bonus | ||
+ | *'''Rush Them:''' You've got no patience for subterfuge. Charge the enemy. | ||
+ | **Party starts with [[Combat Effects#First_Strike|First Strike]] | ||
+ | *'''Pulse Runes:''' You could use your magic to overcharge the runes in the walls, potentially causing a wild magic surge in the central chamber. Gods know what it'll '''do''', but it'll be something! ''(requires the PC be a mage)'' | ||
+ | **The party starts with a [[Draconic Echo]] summoned, and Daliza gains 3 rounds of [[Combat Effects#Madness|Madness]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the elves have been defeated, Ryn is able to just barely recognize them. They they were part of Alissa's personal guard that fled with their queen after the [[Winter City]]. You now have the option to choose what to do with them: | ||
+ | *'''Capture:''' Tie them up. Demons or not, these women are still Etheryn's subjects. The Crown can figure out something to do with them later. ''(Ryn +5 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | *'''Kill Them:''' Thus always to demons. ''(Ryn -10 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Moving forward, you reach the lift and are now able to access the second and third floors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Second Floor===== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | On the second floor lies the Cloudreach Forge, where you find the [[Forge Golem]]. The large stone construct is chained and is responsible for crafting all of the weapons the demons have been using. Daliza will take a step off the lift and onto the second floor, immediately gaining the attention of the golem and starting a two-phase boss fight. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you've defeated the golem, Daliza will cut off the chains that are binding the golem and forcing it to madness. You will receive the [[Cloudforger]] weapon item for defeating it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you obtained the [[Shard of Ice]] and [[Circlet of Sunlight]] from the [[Specter of the Wyld]] event, you can have the golem reforge it into the [[Crown of Winter]]. Ryn already has a crown, her mother's, that she intended to wear. If you have had sex with Ryn, she will imply that you, as her consort, should wear it instead. You will have the following choices: | ||
+ | *'''Give to Ryn:''' This will give Etheryn the [[Crown of Winter]] item along with a permanent stat boost. Are you sure you want to do this? | ||
+ | **'''No''' ''(goes to Keep Crown)'' | ||
+ | **'''Yes''' | ||
+ | ***Gives Ryn the stats of the Crown of Winter on all her sets. | ||
+ | ***Ryn +10 Confidence | ||
+ | *'''Keep Crown''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the tile past the golem lies the Cloudreach Workshop. A quick '''[Search]''' will find the Crest of Dracia, a shattered ring made of Njorhaalt Whitewood that Jarl Eldred var Dracia gave to his draconic bride. Daliza is extremely grateful for the opportunity to retrieve it, having thought it lost when [[Jarl Talraed]] fell. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Third Floor===== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | On the third floor is a glowing blue crystal carved with clawmarked runes atop a writing desk. This is a Memory Crystal with Four Runes. After witnessing them all, you will be able to '''[Debrief]''' with Daliza, and she will walk you through the historical context of what you've just witnessed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It will turn out that the Memory Crystal held memories of the events leading up to and including the first hours of the [[Godswar]], where the first Wraith in recorded history made landfall on Dracia. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the tile beyond that is a Healing Well that restores your party's health. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Dracia Keep==== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | <blockquote> | ||
+ | ''You stand at the outer doors of Dracia Keep, the inner sanctum of the castle and the seat of its ancient jarls. The keep is in clear disrepair, but not so much as to be indefensible like the outer castle: indeed, you have little doubt a garrison could hold out in there for quite a while even against Khor'minoan siege specialists. | ||
+ | </blockquote> | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | =====Keep Entrance===== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | At the entrance to the keep, you will face off against The Dragon Knight. If you did not arrest her before leaving for Dracia, it will be [[Gytha]], accompanied by [[Gytha#Demon's Shadow|Demon's Shadow]]. If you did arrest her, it will be [[Melara]] instead. Losing will end in her raping you before segueing to the dungeon-wide [[Bad Ends|Bad End]]. If you win, however, these options will be presented to you: | ||
+ | *'''Fuck Her''' | ||
+ | **'''Tease Fuck/69:''' Take her arousal to the extreme. | ||
+ | ***'''Thigh Fuck''' ''(requires cock)'' | ||
+ | ****'''Give It To Her | ||
+ | *****'''Hogtie:''' Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort. | ||
+ | *****'''Leave:''' You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits. | ||
+ | ****'''Deny Her''' | ||
+ | *****'''Hogtie:''' Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort. | ||
+ | *****'''Leave:''' You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits. | ||
+ | ***'''Facesitting''' ''(requires vagina)'' | ||
+ | ****'''Sixty-Nine''' | ||
+ | *****'''Hogtie:''' Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort. | ||
+ | *****'''Leave:''' You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits. | ||
+ | ****'''Keep Teasing''' | ||
+ | *****'''Hogtie:''' Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort. | ||
+ | *****'''Leave:''' You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits. | ||
+ | *'''Knock Her Out:''' Just knock the dragoon out and move on. | ||
+ | *'''Hogtie:''' She needs to be arrested. Tie her up so she can be sent to the dungeons of the Wayfort when the expedition is finished. ''(requires Wayfort dungeon; Ryn +10 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | *'''Execute:''' End the demon menace. | ||
+ | **'''You:''' You'll do it. | ||
+ | **'''Daliza:''' Allow the bailiff to execute her duties. | ||
+ | **'''Ryn:''' Have Etheryn do it. She who wears the crown should swing the sword. ''(Ryn +5 confidence)'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the Dragon Knight has been taken care of, the party is free to enter the Keep. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====The Dragonbarrow===== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | <b>The Mad Psion</b> | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Upon entering this tile, your group will hear laughing and begin descending into the Crypts. The further down your group descends, the louder the laughter becomes until, finally, you reach the bottom of the stairs and come face-to-face with the [[Mad Psion]] and the Dragonbarrow Door. The mothfolk demon, hearing a voices and a being she claims as “She”, will croon and plead to Daliza. Daliza, hearing the same maddening voices that the Psion does and infuriated over the intrusion of her ancestor’s resting place, will rush the moth demon and begin a combat encounter immediately. The Psion will be accompanied by a [[Frost Moth]] summon. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the combat has finished, you will have the the options to: | ||
+ | *'''Leave''' | ||
+ | *'''Goad Them''' | ||
+ | *'''Finish Her''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Losing this encounter will end the [[Mad Psion]] raping Daliza into madness before triggering the dungeon-wide bad end. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <b>The Dragonbarrow Door</b> | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | <blockquote> | ||
+ | ''You spend a moment just taking in the grim majesty of the chamber you've found yourself in: the huge arched ceilings and earthen walls would make any druid salivate in admiration, but it's the grand doors of the tomb that really draw your attention. The artistry on the relief is exquisite, truly masterful in its detail of godlike dragons and supplicating elves and salamanders surrounding them. There are hundreds of individuals rendered on solid stone, with sweeping inlays of what you suspect must be once-liquified ley crystal that's been poured through chiseled lines. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''"Incredible, isn't it?" Daliza murmurs, still rubbing at the side of her head. "To see something wrought not by mortal hands at all... This structure predates elven settlement here by centuries, I believe. The stories said it was in the middle of an inland lake, but I suppose the years have changed things. Dried the water up, or buried it." | ||
+ | </blockquote> | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Approaching the door, you will have the following options: | ||
+ | *'''Can We Get Inside?''' | ||
+ | **Will suggest you look around; once you’ve done the '''[Search the Barrow]''' option, you will be able to select this option again and will get the following options: | ||
+ | ***'''Daliza’s Blood:''' Offer Daliza’s blood to the mechanism. A small amount should suffice. ''(Will result in Daliza obtaining [[Madness]] until the end of the dungeon, and the PC obtaining [[Crystalized Dracian Blood]])'' | ||
+ | ***It will suggest going to [[Viviane]], but as of version 0.6.3, this content is unimplemented. | ||
+ | ***'''Daliza’s Girlcum:''' Well clearly you need the cum of a Dracian to open this lock. Daliza might not have a cock, but she has two holes you could be fingering. ''(Will not work, and Daliza will bitchslap the PC)'' | ||
+ | ***'''Nevermind:''' On second thought, maybe best not to mess with this right now. | ||
+ | *'''The Dragon’s War?:''' What can Daliza [ash.around and Ashe ]tell you about this war the dragons fought so long ago? | ||
+ | *'''How Are You Feeling, Dal?:''' Daliza's obviously been afflicted by something here in the castle. Is she okay? | ||
+ | *'''Search The Barrow''' ''(If the PC is a thief, they will find a unique, hexagonal lockbox. Otherwise, Etheryn will find it and tell you. Doing this will add more to the '''[Can We Get Inside]''' prompt)'' | ||
+ | *Leave: Conclude your investigations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you leave the crypts, the only place left to go is up. Once you step on the tile heading up (the grand staircase), a scene will play involving an Old Mural on the wall depicting the goddess [[Nareva]]. You will get some nice lore revolving around the goddess and dragons. Upstairs and to the right is a small Narevan Chapel with a healing well that restores your health to full. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then [[Queen Alissa]] is all that’s left. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Throne Room===== | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | <blockquote> | ||
+ | ''The royal demon pushes herself up off the throne, delicately setting the lap-Ryn aside and stroking her hair. "Your other sisters are going to be so jealous when I'm through with you." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''"S-sisters? Alissa, what is this?" Ryn gasps, looking across the lounging harem. "'What have you done!?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''A dangerous glint of malicious clarity crosses Alissa's eyes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''"You!" the queen retorts, taking an easy step between the harem girls. "I've missed you so, little sister, I just couldn't stand to be apart. You don't know how you broke my heart when you <b>fucking shot me in the chest</b>, you rotten whore. But that's all water under the bridge, Duchess of the Rim. Come, get on your knees where you've always belonged, and all will be forgiven. We can go back to the way things were... | ||
+ | </blockquote> | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | '''[Note]:''' It is recommended that before entering the throne room, you switch the combat flow to '''MANUAL''' and swap as many holy abilities into your build if you want to make the fight with [[Queen Alissa|Alissa]] as painless as possible. Having [[Etheryn|Ryn]] use '''[Tease]''' on her sister paired with holy damage from the rest of the party will make the fight super quick. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Entering the fake throne room, you see Alissa surrounded by demons that have shape-shifted into [[Etheryn Clones]], forming a harem of sisters that constantly impregnate and get impregnated by Alissa, birthing an army of impish “heirs” that Alissa dotes upon. Upon seeing your group, she demands that Etheryn rejoin her. You will be able to ask her '''One''' of the following questions before it moves to [Finish It] and combat initiates. {Bluebird42 Note:I am putting a bit from each conversation below} | ||
+ | *'''Her Plans For Etheryn:''' What the hell does Alissa really want with Etheryn anyway? | ||
+ | **''Alissa throws her head back with a derisive laugh. "What do you think, peasant? There is no man or halfsex in all of Niorhaalt worthy of my hand -- and I have tested nearly all there are to have -- and <b>certainly</b> none worthy of my darling sister. There's only one solution! I had our matched wedding dresses made and everything, until that <b>bitch</b> ran away from me!"'' | ||
+ | *'''The Clones:''' The heck is up with all these Etheryn doppelgangers? | ||
+ | **''Alissa's lips twitch into something approaching a smirk. "Why, my harem, of course. How was I to live without my darling sister to sate all my carnal needs? Luckily, that bald ape Tollus had no shortage of idiots willing to join me in apotheosis... and with weak enough wills that I could break them to my needs. Now look at all my little sisters! They're almost as good as the real thing." | ||
+ | *'''Where’s Kasyrra?:''' Does Alissa know where Kas is? What her plans are? ''(Only if you do not have access to the [[Dream Palace]])'' | ||
+ | **''"To unite the world beneath her dark banner, of course.] She means to bridge the gap between our world and the demon world, and free us all from the lies of the gods, and the tyranny of the soul!" | ||
+ | *'''Was It Worth It?:''' Does Alissa think her actions have been worth it? | ||
+ | **''Alissa quirks her head, giving you a derisive laugh. "Worth? Please, such a pedestrian question. Nothing I did was done in hope of some reward. I am a queen, and all that I do is in service of my greatest goal. And now... now I am closer than ever to what I want." The demon flicks her forked tongue at Etheryn, setting off a chorus of whorish moans from the doppelgangers at her feet. Ryn recoils, clutching at your arm. | ||
+ | *'''Finish It:''' Enough talk. Demand Alissa surrender while she can. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Once combat is about to start, Alissa will be joined by an [[Imp Jester]] and a set of [[Etheryn Clones]], one of each has all the perks and abilities of each of her current sets except her ultimates. This is a two-phase fight, with phase two starting once Alissa hits 0HP. Characters that hit 0HP in phase one will stay down during phase two. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | After you defeat Alissa, '''if Arona is the Champion's Dom and in the party, she will kill Alissa without any input from the Champion'''. If not, the Champion must decide what to do with the defeated demon ex-queen: | ||
+ | *'''Arona Kill:''' Let Arona do what comes naturally. ''(Ryn -10 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | *'''Daliza Kill:''' Have the noble Lady Daliza slay the queen once and for all.''(Ryn -10 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | *'''You Kill:''' Finish this yourself. ''(Ryn -15 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | *'''Arrest Her:''' Take the demoness into custody, and throw her into the Wayfort's dungeons where she can't hurt anyone ever again. ''(Requires [[Wayfort]] dungeons)'' OR You have nowhere to keep a demon as dangerous as Alissa safely. Perhaps if you had constructed a dungeon. ''(If dungeons not built)'' | ||
+ | *'''Etheryn, You Decide:''' It's Etheryn's sister, and Etheryn's kingdom now. She should be the one to decide what happens here. ''(Ryn +20 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | **If Etheryn has '''Low Confidence''', she will kill Alissa. | ||
+ | **If Etheryn’s '''Confidence is Medium or High''', she will have her sister arrested. If you built the dungeons in the [[Wayfort], Alissa will be taken there. Otherwise, she will be transported elsewhere and removed from the game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Conclusion== | ||
+ | After all is said and done, Etheryn will be crowned the new Elvenqueen, and Alissa will either be dead or imprisoned. If Ryn is already uncaged, you have fucked her before, and she has '''High''' confidence, she will confess her love for you. You can choose to '''[Love Her]''' or be '''[Just Friends]'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If Etheryn is still caged, after she is crowned [[Elthara]] will approach her and the PC and inquire about it. She will then offer Ryn a potion crafted by herself and [Hethia]] that will help her cock return to it’s proper size. It also acts as a contraceptive and aphrodisiac. If you go with Ryn, and she has '''High''' confidence, she will confess her love to you. Regarding bed-partners for her uncaging, the options below are: | ||
+ | *'''You:''' Take the queen up to the royal bedroom, unleash her caged [silly:shrimp|cock], and let her vent all those years of frustration on your pussy/butthole. | ||
+ | **'''Love Her:''' Give Etheryn a great big kiss on the lips and assure her that you feel the same. ''(Sets Ryn to Lover)'' | ||
+ | **'''Just Friends:''' As much as you enjoy your time with Etheryn, you're not interested in her like that. <b>You probably won't get another chance to solidify your relationship.</b> | ||
+ | *'''Elthara:''' Let the mature Lumian priestess tend to Etheryn's needs. Elthara clearly cares deeply for Ryn, and nobody's going to say no to a body like hers. Especially not someone about to use her dick for the very first time. ''(Ryn +5 Confidence, +5 Libido)'' | ||
+ | *'''Cait:''' There's hardly anyone more qualified to give a blushing, nervous virgin a safe and memorable first time than a Mallachite passion priestess. Cait's a friend to everyone but especially horny dickgirls in need. ''(Ryn +10 Confidence)'' | ||
+ | *'''Arona:''' Arona has a soft spot for Ryn, and they're both Lumians. Sure a huge orc amazon is an unorthodox way for a queen to lose her virginity, but sometimes you just need to dive into the deep end -- and Arona's about the deepest end you could push Etheryn off into! ''(Ryn +10 Libido)'' | ||
+ | *'''You and Elthara:''' Give Ryn a night she'll never forget with you and Elthara together. [pc.hasCock|You can choose whether that involves Ryn penetrating you both, or just Elthara.] | ||
+ | **'''Take Ryn’s Royal Seed:''' Get on your knees and suck off the royal cock, then let Ryn take you to the bed and pound you out before she does the same to Elthara. | ||
+ | **'''Let Elthara Take Her:''' Let the fertility priestess do what comes naturally to her. She'll take Ryn's seed in her mouth and then her pussy; you'll sit back and work on the queenly ass. | ||
+ | ***'''Love Her:''' Give Etheryn a great big kiss on the lips and assure her that you feel the same. ''(Sets Ryn to Lover)'' | ||
+ | ***'''Just Friends:''' As much as you enjoy your time with Etheryn, you're not interested in her like that. <b>You probably won't get another chance to solidify your relationship.</b> | ||

"So," Elthara continues, "that perforce leaves you to rule over the city, Princess. However, our laws of succession are clear, unbroken since the founding of this city more than one thousand years ago. There can be no removal of a sitting monarch. Unless Alissa abdicates or perishes, or is defeated by honorable challenge in single combat, she remains our rightful queen. Unless..."
At the end of Act One, Etheryn is the Princess-Regent of Winter City. However, she cannot succeed her sister as Elvenqueen until she's brought the fallen Queen Alissa in to face justice for her crimes.
Quest States
State | Acquisition | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | Complete Winter City | Queen Alissa escaped when you engaged her on the palace rooftops, flying southwards. She seemed to be heading somewhere separate from Kasyrra. The Winter City has branded their former queen an outlaw, but Etheryn cannot ascend the throne while the former queen lives. Perhaps there will be clues to Alissa's whereabouts southwards, near the mountains. |
1 | Report to the Winter City court during The Siege of Khor'minos | You've discovered that Alissa has fled to the island ruins of Dracia, a former boreal elf holding. She has a new court of demons there, and they are producing arms and armor for the cult's forces attacking Khor'minos and beyond. Destroying their forges and capturing the demon will surely help the effort to stifle the spread of demons. |
2 | Report to Calise | Having discovered that Alissa has retreated to the boreal island of Dracia, Calise has arranged for a Khor'minoan ship to support your quest to bring the demon to justice. The captain is waiting in the Palace of Ice to pick you and your comrades up. |
3 | Speak to Captain Livernon | You've met Captain Livernon at the Palace of Ice's temple. Whenever you're ready, he'll take you to Dracia. |
4 | Arrive on Dracia | Despite some setbacks, you've arrived on the island of Dracia. You must find Queen Alissa and defeat her — one way or another... |
5 | Defeat the Mad Psion | Something wicked lurks in Dracia's shadows. Daliza seems deeply unstable after your encounter with the motherine dreamwalker in the depths; you should hurry to the throne room above and defeat Alissa! |
6 (complete) |
Defeat Queen Alissa | You've defeated Queen Alissa, and she's been incarcerated in a cell warded against demonic shapeshifting. It's unlikely that you'll find a way to redeem her in your quest, but she will live to regret her decisions. The island of Dracia will no longer support the demons' war effort. |

Progress
To Dracia!
After completing Act One and the Winter City section of In Her Footsteps, you will need to complete the smuggling operation in the first section of The Siege of Khor'minos. Once you've reported your findings to the Winter City, Calise will have the new talk option [To Dracia!]. Alternatively, you don't have to speak with her and can instead head straight to the Winter City.
In the Winter City temple, Captain Livernon will be there waiting for you. After introductions, you will be joined by Daliza and Etheryn. Daliza will let you know that the trip to Dracia is a two-day sail, and that you will need to be ready. At this point in time, Gytha will have a split path; if you do not arrest her and place her in the Wayfort dungeons, she will make her way to Dracia and become the Dragon Knight boss that is encountered later on. If you do arrest her, Melara will be the Dragon Knight instead.
Now is the time to make sure you have everything you want to take with you.
- Ready: You're as ready as you'll ever be!
- Not Yet: You're not quite ready to embark on an adventure of this magnitude yet.
- Hard trip, you say?: What made the trip here so difficult? Anything you need to be concerned about?
NOTE: Once you select [Ready], Etheryn is locked into the party and Daliza appears as a guest companion. You may choose one other companion to accompany you, with Arona having the most extra dialogue and interactions. Bringing Ashe along with you also provides extra dialogue and insight. If Arona is your Dom, you will not get a choice when you defeat Alissa; Arona will automatically kill her.
Ready to Set Sail
Once you've set sail on the Auroran Vigil, you'll meet Lady Juno, Livernon's wife. After being shown around, you will have a moment of down time to speak with some of the other NPCs. Each interaction is a one time interaction; if you skip one you won't be able to go back.
- Etheryn: Go and check in on the pensive princess. Even by Ryn's standards, she seems nervous.
- Help Alissa: How does Ryn think she can help Alissa?
- Future Plans?: When Alissa's finally dealt with, one way or the other, what does Ryn want to do with a future free of the old queen's shadows?
- Leave: Say goodbye to Ryn.
- Daliza: You're setting sail towards Daliza's homeland. She'll certainly have some thoughts to share.
- Dracian History: Ask Daliza to give you the rundown on her clan's past.
- About Dragons...: What can Daliza tell you about the dragons of Dracia? Is there any chance you'd encounter one in your mission?
- Dracia's Last Jarl: Ask about the last Jarl of Dracia.
- The Island's Layout: What can Daliza tell you about Dracia's physical layout?
- Leave: Take your leave from the Bailiff.
- Arona: Arona seems oddly serene for the moment. Might be worth checking in on the big brawler.
- Yes: Sure, you'll partake in a little Kervus seafaring ritual with your subby amazon. (grants the Sorran Woad status buff - grants +25 Storm Resistance and +25 Ward)
- Ride Dick: Arona's still rocking a visible chub after the warpaint went on. She could use a chance to blow off some steam - and you could use a fat orc cock in your vag/ass. (only available if PC did the warpaint scene)
- No: You're not much for Kervus superstition. (only Arona gets Sorran Woad)
- Livernon & Juno: Arona seemed to know an awful lot about Captain Livernon and Lady Juno. What's their story?
- The Sailgraves: Dracia's deep into the Sailgraves. Anything you should know?
- Leave: Say goodbye to Arona.
- Yes: Sure, you'll partake in a little Kervus seafaring ritual with your subby amazon. (grants the Sorran Woad status buff - grants +25 Storm Resistance and +25 Ward)
- Livernon: Go check in with the captain and his bewitching wife.
- Their Careers: Captain Livernon and Lady Juno no doubt have had a storied career together...
- Juno's Magic: She says she's been at this since she was a teenager?
- Dracia: Do the pair know anything about the island you're headed to?
- The Siege: How has the Khor'minoan Navy been handling the siege of their city?
- You and Livrea: So, the proud parents of Khor'minos' most adorable bard know you and she have gotten close, do they...? (only available if the PC has romanced Livrea)
- Flirt With The Couple: These two are proving to be an extremely affectionate, loving couple. Perhaps you could convince them to include you for tonight...?
- Leave: Head back down to the main deck.
- Wait: You've done all you care to on the deck of the Vigil for today. Head belowdecks and get some rest - you're going to need it.
Once you've done all the talks, or selected the [Wait] option, you can choose a bedmate for the night. Daliza and Etheryn only appear as options if the PC has sexed them before, and the Mino Couple only appear as an option if you flirted with them during your talk.
- Alone: Climb into your hammock and get some shut-eye.
- Etheryn: Cuddle up to the cute little princess tonight. (if Daliza is set as your bedmate, the Ryn & Dal scene will play instead)
- Daliza: Enjoy the company of your loyal swordmaster tonight. (if you've sexed Ryn, the Ryn & Dal scene will play instead)
- Mino Couple
- DP Juno: Enjoy a healthy helping of mino-milf milk before you and the Captain plow into the sorceress from both sides.
- Cock Worship: Join the sorceress in giving her husband's dick the worship a majestic mino-cock deserves, before he rails you into a quivering mess in his bed.
The Wraith-Touched
At 3:00 AM, the PC and the rest of the crew are woken by shouts and an alarm.
Running to the deck, you and your companions will look in at land to see dozens, maybe hundreds, of wraith-touched shooting arrows and hurling spells onto the deck of the ship. Juno will summon an enormous arc of lightning and take out almost all of the wraith-touched, but it will put her out of commission. Livernon will grab her and protect her, leaving the rest of the fighting up to the party as the remaining wraiths begin to crawl over the railings of the ship.
You will face a group of Wraith-Touched Raiders, consisting of a Twisted Troll, a Shadowcaster, and two Wraith Raiders.
Whether you win or lose the battle, Juno will assist in pushing back the wraith-touched; if you win, however, you get your sleep buffs as a reward. As you approach Dracia, night will fall as the ship reaches land and your party will depart onto Dracia via levitation by Juno.
Dracia
Dracia Keep is easily four times the size of Castle Hawkstone back home, sprawling across the southern tip of its vast island. Its walls are towering but no longer solid, crumbling in a dozen places almost down to the foundations. Ice clings to the stone, giving it a brilliant luster even as it slowly erodes the castle's protection year by year. A single, massive tower rises far above the walls, reaching well into the clouds above; how anyone is supposed to climb all the way up there without their heart bursting, you haven't the slightest idea, but that tower alone seems to have survived the passage of years unscathed. Even the inner keep, just visible over the curtain walls, seems well worse for wear, half collapsed under its own ill-kept weight.
The Courtyard
From here on, it is possible to trigger random encounters with groups of Imps, consisting of 3 Imps and 2 randomly drawn from:Imp Shankers, Imp Warlocks, and either type of Demon Smugglers. All of these imps are Alissa's offspring.
On the southeastern side of the Courtyard, by the Docks, is Grungendyr. He is the spirit of the massive boar that killed Ryn's father. Legend tells that it feasted on the flesh of the Wraith-touched and grew to the size of a draft horse due to the corruption. With Kasyrra's help, Alissa took the great boar's skull and used it as a totem to summon and bind the spirit. From here, you will be able to:
- Attack
- Leave
Since he is a Ghost & Beast, he is vulnerable to magic/elemental damage, especially Holy and Blight damage. Ryn starts the fight with 3 turns of Terrified.
Once the boar has been defeated, the option to take the totem with you will appear:
- Take Totem: You'll be taking this spirit-bound skull with you. Ryn is very obviously not going to be thrilled by this choice. (Ryn -5 Confidence)
Doing this grants you the power Summon Grungendyr. While he is summoned, Ryn is terrified.
Cloudreach Tower
The Cloudreach Tower rests in the center of the Courtyard and has 3 floors, each one with unique events. The tower is optional and, as such, it is possible to miss all of the loot and items that come from this section.
First Floor
On the first floor, you will encounter a group of Corrupted Guards made up of two Corrupted Elves and one of each type of Demon Smuggler. You will have the option to:
- Ambush: Slip into the shadows and strike when the corrupted elves least expect it. (AGI check, succeeds with 66%)
- Check Succeeded: Combat starts with the party having First Strike and all the elves gaining 3 rounds of Staggered and Terrified
- Check Failed: No bonus
- Rush Them: You've got no patience for subterfuge. Charge the enemy.
- Party starts with First Strike
- Pulse Runes: You could use your magic to overcharge the runes in the walls, potentially causing a wild magic surge in the central chamber. Gods know what it'll do, but it'll be something! (requires the PC be a mage)
- The party starts with a Draconic Echo summoned, and Daliza gains 3 rounds of Madness
Once the elves have been defeated, Ryn is able to just barely recognize them. They they were part of Alissa's personal guard that fled with their queen after the Winter City. You now have the option to choose what to do with them:
- Capture: Tie them up. Demons or not, these women are still Etheryn's subjects. The Crown can figure out something to do with them later. (Ryn +5 Confidence)
- Kill Them: Thus always to demons. (Ryn -10 Confidence)
Moving forward, you reach the lift and are now able to access the second and third floors.
Second Floor
On the second floor lies the Cloudreach Forge, where you find the Forge Golem. The large stone construct is chained and is responsible for crafting all of the weapons the demons have been using. Daliza will take a step off the lift and onto the second floor, immediately gaining the attention of the golem and starting a two-phase boss fight.
Once you've defeated the golem, Daliza will cut off the chains that are binding the golem and forcing it to madness. You will receive the Cloudforger weapon item for defeating it.
If you obtained the Shard of Ice and Circlet of Sunlight from the Specter of the Wyld event, you can have the golem reforge it into the Crown of Winter. Ryn already has a crown, her mother's, that she intended to wear. If you have had sex with Ryn, she will imply that you, as her consort, should wear it instead. You will have the following choices:
- Give to Ryn: This will give Etheryn the Crown of Winter item along with a permanent stat boost. Are you sure you want to do this?
- No (goes to Keep Crown)
- Yes
- Gives Ryn the stats of the Crown of Winter on all her sets.
- Ryn +10 Confidence
- Keep Crown
On the tile past the golem lies the Cloudreach Workshop. A quick [Search] will find the Crest of Dracia, a shattered ring made of Njorhaalt Whitewood that Jarl Eldred var Dracia gave to his draconic bride. Daliza is extremely grateful for the opportunity to retrieve it, having thought it lost when Jarl Talraed fell.
Third Floor
On the third floor is a glowing blue crystal carved with clawmarked runes atop a writing desk. This is a Memory Crystal with Four Runes. After witnessing them all, you will be able to [Debrief] with Daliza, and she will walk you through the historical context of what you've just witnessed.
It will turn out that the Memory Crystal held memories of the events leading up to and including the first hours of the Godswar, where the first Wraith in recorded history made landfall on Dracia.
On the tile beyond that is a Healing Well that restores your party's health.
Dracia Keep
You stand at the outer doors of Dracia Keep, the inner sanctum of the castle and the seat of its ancient jarls. The keep is in clear disrepair, but not so much as to be indefensible like the outer castle: indeed, you have little doubt a garrison could hold out in there for quite a while even against Khor'minoan siege specialists.
Keep Entrance
At the entrance to the keep, you will face off against The Dragon Knight. If you did not arrest her before leaving for Dracia, it will be Gytha, accompanied by Demon's Shadow. If you did arrest her, it will be Melara instead. Losing will end in her raping you before segueing to the dungeon-wide Bad End. If you win, however, these options will be presented to you:
- Fuck Her
- Tease Fuck/69: Take her arousal to the extreme.
- Thigh Fuck (requires cock)
- Give It To Her
- Hogtie: Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort.
- Leave: You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits.
- Deny Her
- Hogtie: Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort.
- Leave: You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits.
- Give It To Her
- Facesitting (requires vagina)
- Sixty-Nine
- Hogtie: Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort.
- Leave: You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits.
- Keep Teasing
- Hogtie: Make her your prisoner and take her to the Wayfort.
- Leave: You don't have time to waste. Her fate is her own, and not yours to concern yourself with. So you just leave her behind and resume your way. Alissa awaits.
- Sixty-Nine
- Thigh Fuck (requires cock)
- Tease Fuck/69: Take her arousal to the extreme.
- Knock Her Out: Just knock the dragoon out and move on.
- Hogtie: She needs to be arrested. Tie her up so she can be sent to the dungeons of the Wayfort when the expedition is finished. (requires Wayfort dungeon; Ryn +10 Confidence)
- Execute: End the demon menace.
- You: You'll do it.
- Daliza: Allow the bailiff to execute her duties.
- Ryn: Have Etheryn do it. She who wears the crown should swing the sword. (Ryn +5 confidence)
Once the Dragon Knight has been taken care of, the party is free to enter the Keep.
The Dragonbarrow
The Mad Psion
Upon entering this tile, your group will hear laughing and begin descending into the Crypts. The further down your group descends, the louder the laughter becomes until, finally, you reach the bottom of the stairs and come face-to-face with the Mad Psion and the Dragonbarrow Door. The mothfolk demon, hearing a voices and a being she claims as “She”, will croon and plead to Daliza. Daliza, hearing the same maddening voices that the Psion does and infuriated over the intrusion of her ancestor’s resting place, will rush the moth demon and begin a combat encounter immediately. The Psion will be accompanied by a Frost Moth summon.
Once the combat has finished, you will have the the options to:
- Leave
- Goad Them
- Finish Her
Losing this encounter will end the Mad Psion raping Daliza into madness before triggering the dungeon-wide bad end.
The Dragonbarrow Door
You spend a moment just taking in the grim majesty of the chamber you've found yourself in: the huge arched ceilings and earthen walls would make any druid salivate in admiration, but it's the grand doors of the tomb that really draw your attention. The artistry on the relief is exquisite, truly masterful in its detail of godlike dragons and supplicating elves and salamanders surrounding them. There are hundreds of individuals rendered on solid stone, with sweeping inlays of what you suspect must be once-liquified ley crystal that's been poured through chiseled lines.
"Incredible, isn't it?" Daliza murmurs, still rubbing at the side of her head. "To see something wrought not by mortal hands at all... This structure predates elven settlement here by centuries, I believe. The stories said it was in the middle of an inland lake, but I suppose the years have changed things. Dried the water up, or buried it."
Approaching the door, you will have the following options:
- Can We Get Inside?
- Will suggest you look around; once you’ve done the [Search the Barrow] option, you will be able to select this option again and will get the following options:
- Daliza’s Blood: Offer Daliza’s blood to the mechanism. A small amount should suffice. (Will result in Daliza obtaining Madness until the end of the dungeon, and the PC obtaining Crystalized Dracian Blood)
- It will suggest going to Viviane, but as of version 0.6.3, this content is unimplemented.
- Daliza’s Girlcum: Well clearly you need the cum of a Dracian to open this lock. Daliza might not have a cock, but she has two holes you could be fingering. (Will not work, and Daliza will bitchslap the PC)
- Nevermind: On second thought, maybe best not to mess with this right now.
- Will suggest you look around; once you’ve done the [Search the Barrow] option, you will be able to select this option again and will get the following options:
- The Dragon’s War?: What can Daliza [ash.around and Ashe ]tell you about this war the dragons fought so long ago?
- How Are You Feeling, Dal?: Daliza's obviously been afflicted by something here in the castle. Is she okay?
- Search The Barrow (If the PC is a thief, they will find a unique, hexagonal lockbox. Otherwise, Etheryn will find it and tell you. Doing this will add more to the [Can We Get Inside] prompt)
- Leave: Conclude your investigations.
Once you leave the crypts, the only place left to go is up. Once you step on the tile heading up (the grand staircase), a scene will play involving an Old Mural on the wall depicting the goddess Nareva. You will get some nice lore revolving around the goddess and dragons. Upstairs and to the right is a small Narevan Chapel with a healing well that restores your health to full.
Then Queen Alissa is all that’s left.
Throne Room
The royal demon pushes herself up off the throne, delicately setting the lap-Ryn aside and stroking her hair. "Your other sisters are going to be so jealous when I'm through with you."
"S-sisters? Alissa, what is this?" Ryn gasps, looking across the lounging harem. "'What have you done!?"
A dangerous glint of malicious clarity crosses Alissa's eyes.
"You!" the queen retorts, taking an easy step between the harem girls. "I've missed you so, little sister, I just couldn't stand to be apart. You don't know how you broke my heart when you fucking shot me in the chest, you rotten whore. But that's all water under the bridge, Duchess of the Rim. Come, get on your knees where you've always belonged, and all will be forgiven. We can go back to the way things were...
[Note]: It is recommended that before entering the throne room, you switch the combat flow to MANUAL and swap as many holy abilities into your build if you want to make the fight with Alissa as painless as possible. Having Ryn use [Tease] on her sister paired with holy damage from the rest of the party will make the fight super quick.
Entering the fake throne room, you see Alissa surrounded by demons that have shape-shifted into Etheryn Clones, forming a harem of sisters that constantly impregnate and get impregnated by Alissa, birthing an army of impish “heirs” that Alissa dotes upon. Upon seeing your group, she demands that Etheryn rejoin her. You will be able to ask her One of the following questions before it moves to [Finish It] and combat initiates. {Bluebird42 Note:I am putting a bit from each conversation below}
- Her Plans For Etheryn: What the hell does Alissa really want with Etheryn anyway?
- Alissa throws her head back with a derisive laugh. "What do you think, peasant? There is no man or halfsex in all of Niorhaalt worthy of my hand -- and I have tested nearly all there are to have -- and certainly none worthy of my darling sister. There's only one solution! I had our matched wedding dresses made and everything, until that bitch ran away from me!"
- The Clones: The heck is up with all these Etheryn doppelgangers?
- Alissa's lips twitch into something approaching a smirk. "Why, my harem, of course. How was I to live without my darling sister to sate all my carnal needs? Luckily, that bald ape Tollus had no shortage of idiots willing to join me in apotheosis... and with weak enough wills that I could break them to my needs. Now look at all my little sisters! They're almost as good as the real thing."
- Where’s Kasyrra?: Does Alissa know where Kas is? What her plans are? (Only if you do not have access to the Dream Palace)
- "To unite the world beneath her dark banner, of course.] She means to bridge the gap between our world and the demon world, and free us all from the lies of the gods, and the tyranny of the soul!"
- Was It Worth It?: Does Alissa think her actions have been worth it?
- Alissa quirks her head, giving you a derisive laugh. "Worth? Please, such a pedestrian question. Nothing I did was done in hope of some reward. I am a queen, and all that I do is in service of my greatest goal. And now... now I am closer than ever to what I want." The demon flicks her forked tongue at Etheryn, setting off a chorus of whorish moans from the doppelgangers at her feet. Ryn recoils, clutching at your arm.
- Finish It: Enough talk. Demand Alissa surrender while she can.
Once combat is about to start, Alissa will be joined by an Imp Jester and a set of Etheryn Clones, one of each has all the perks and abilities of each of her current sets except her ultimates. This is a two-phase fight, with phase two starting once Alissa hits 0HP. Characters that hit 0HP in phase one will stay down during phase two.
After you defeat Alissa, if Arona is the Champion's Dom and in the party, she will kill Alissa without any input from the Champion. If not, the Champion must decide what to do with the defeated demon ex-queen:
- Arona Kill: Let Arona do what comes naturally. (Ryn -10 Confidence)
- Daliza Kill: Have the noble Lady Daliza slay the queen once and for all.(Ryn -10 Confidence)
- You Kill: Finish this yourself. (Ryn -15 Confidence)
- Arrest Her: Take the demoness into custody, and throw her into the Wayfort's dungeons where she can't hurt anyone ever again. (Requires Wayfort dungeons) OR You have nowhere to keep a demon as dangerous as Alissa safely. Perhaps if you had constructed a dungeon. (If dungeons not built)
- Etheryn, You Decide: It's Etheryn's sister, and Etheryn's kingdom now. She should be the one to decide what happens here. (Ryn +20 Confidence)
- If Etheryn has Low Confidence, she will kill Alissa.
- If Etheryn’s Confidence is Medium or High, she will have her sister arrested. If you built the dungeons in the [[Wayfort], Alissa will be taken there. Otherwise, she will be transported elsewhere and removed from the game.
Conclusion
After all is said and done, Etheryn will be crowned the new Elvenqueen, and Alissa will either be dead or imprisoned. If Ryn is already uncaged, you have fucked her before, and she has High confidence, she will confess her love for you. You can choose to [Love Her] or be [Just Friends].
If Etheryn is still caged, after she is crowned Elthara will approach her and the PC and inquire about it. She will then offer Ryn a potion crafted by herself and [Hethia]] that will help her cock return to it’s proper size. It also acts as a contraceptive and aphrodisiac. If you go with Ryn, and she has High confidence, she will confess her love to you. Regarding bed-partners for her uncaging, the options below are:
- You: Take the queen up to the royal bedroom, unleash her caged [silly:shrimp|cock], and let her vent all those years of frustration on your pussy/butthole.
- Love Her: Give Etheryn a great big kiss on the lips and assure her that you feel the same. (Sets Ryn to Lover)
- Just Friends: As much as you enjoy your time with Etheryn, you're not interested in her like that. You probably won't get another chance to solidify your relationship.
- Elthara: Let the mature Lumian priestess tend to Etheryn's needs. Elthara clearly cares deeply for Ryn, and nobody's going to say no to a body like hers. Especially not someone about to use her dick for the very first time. (Ryn +5 Confidence, +5 Libido)
- Cait: There's hardly anyone more qualified to give a blushing, nervous virgin a safe and memorable first time than a Mallachite passion priestess. Cait's a friend to everyone but especially horny dickgirls in need. (Ryn +10 Confidence)
- Arona: Arona has a soft spot for Ryn, and they're both Lumians. Sure a huge orc amazon is an unorthodox way for a queen to lose her virginity, but sometimes you just need to dive into the deep end -- and Arona's about the deepest end you could push Etheryn off into! (Ryn +10 Libido)
- You and Elthara: Give Ryn a night she'll never forget with you and Elthara together. [pc.hasCock|You can choose whether that involves Ryn penetrating you both, or just Elthara.]
- Take Ryn’s Royal Seed: Get on your knees and suck off the royal cock, then let Ryn take you to the bed and pound you out before she does the same to Elthara.
- Let Elthara Take Her: Let the fertility priestess do what comes naturally to her. She'll take Ryn's seed in her mouth and then her pussy; you'll sit back and work on the queenly ass.
- Love Her: Give Etheryn a great big kiss on the lips and assure her that you feel the same. (Sets Ryn to Lover)
- Just Friends: As much as you enjoy your time with Etheryn, you're not interested in her like that. You probably won't get another chance to solidify your relationship.
