The request to investigate and clear an abandoned mine on the border was up for several weeks during which many adventurers took on the quest but none seemed to have returned. Because of it both the reward and the difficulty rating grew over time. This stood out to a party made out of two swordsmen, for different reasons though.

The main thing that caught Tigriz's eye was the hefty reward money. It would have meant that if they got their hands on it he wouldn't have to do anything for at least a couple of months. This was more than enough enticement for the bulky, speedo-wearing tiger. It would be a lie to say Shadow wasn't interested in the money himself but he was just as or a bit more curious as to why people weren't returning after accepting the request. That's why they decided to try their own hands at it. After receiving a few words of warning they set off.

Because the location of the mine was relatively remote the journey there was a bit longer than expected. The sun was setting down painting the sky orange by the time they arrived. The mine was in the middle of a thick forest so that didn't help them get there any faster either.

"I think we should wait till morning before going in." - Shadow suggested as he examined the crumbly wooden beams that supported the entrance. - "There's pleeenty of wood around here to make a campfire." - He gestured around all the trees surrounding them.

"What difference would it make? It's still going to be just as dark in there and I will still probably have to be the living torch." - Tigriz held up a finger and a small flame appeared on top of it like a lighter before a moment later it went out.

Shadow frowned a little bit - "That...might be true but I rather go in well rested than rush in after a day of tiring traveling. We don't know what might be in there so it's better if we are fully aware." - He picked up a twig from the ground and continued. - "I will gather some firewood; you clear up a spot for us, alright?"

The black tiger sighed and shrugged. - "Alright...but I bet if you were in your other form we'd already be storming the place."

"I wouldn't be that different and you know that." - Shadow held up the twig like a sword to the other tiger's face.

"Yes, you would be quuute different." - Tigriz smirked as he said that and glanced down on Shadow's pants. The grin stuck on his face as he turned around and started looking for a campsite.

The shorter tiger rolled his eyes at the remark and without a word he walked off as well to gather a bunch of fuel for the fire. While he was away Tigriz found a spot just a short distance from the mine so he cleared up the leaves, rocks, pebbles and everything from the ground to make room for their temporary camp. Satisfied with his work he got into an as comfortable as possible position sitting down and leaning against a tree. He closed his eyes for a bit trying to get a powernap while waiting for his companion. The resting tiger's ears perked up at the sound of approaching footsteps. - "That was quick"

A couple of minutes later the moon was rising and Shadow returned with a bundle of sticks and twigs. He also foraged for some fruit and herbs he knew from experience were edible. He quickly found the clearing Tigriz made for them but the black tiger wasn't to be found anywhere. Assuming he just wandered off to somewhere Shadow prepared a pit and set up the classic tepee style campfire. The moon was rising higher as time passed. The tiger dusted off his hands and sighed as his partner was still nowhere to be seen even after getting things ready.

"Where the hell is that living torch?" - Shadow was getting impatient and started pacing around. - "I mean this has to be the spot his footprints are literally all over the place." - He walked back and forth looking through between the trees trying to spot him. As he was nearing the tree Tigriz was resting at he noticed something that eluded him so far in the dark. Something black was stuck on the tree reflecting the silver light of the moon. Curiously he reached out and poked at it. - "Eeewww" - Shadow grimaced at the strange substance and pulled away his hand. However a bridge formed between the tree and his finger. - "Ewheheeww!" - He flinched and tried to shake off whatever was stuck to his finger to no avail. In his attempt to get rid of it he instinctively wiped it on his pants which seemed to be successful. Although the tip of his finger remained black and now his clothing had a dark patch on it as well.

"This is just great...What was that thing?" - Shadow looked at and around the tree, now without touching it, and noticed a freshly beaten trail in the flora. It was leading towards the mine with more of that sticky thing along its way. - "He wouldn't have gone in alone would he...? Then again it's Tigriz..." - He scratched his head in a bit of frustration. - "Ahhh of course he would but still what's up with this strange stuff." - He almost stepped in a drop of it as he said that. - "I'll strangle him if I find him alive." - With that said he walked back to the mine trying to avoid the sticky spots on the ground.

Shadow stopped in front of the mouth of the mine and squinted. - "And of course it's dark as hell." - He reached into his coat and pulled out a lighter. - "Who would have thought I'd have to make my own fire when we came together." - Taking a deep breath he lit his mini torch and stepped inside the dark cave in search of his friend.

______________________________________________________________________________

The mine was dark, damp and eerie quiet. Nothing but the steps of the orange tiger were heard as they echoed through the empty tunnels. Even though he was a bit tired Shadow moved carefully making sure he wasn't going to be jumped on by anyone or anything. Luckily for him his feline vision combined with the light of the lighter was helping him out big time. He could move with some confidence trusting in his experience as an adventurer. The deeper he went however the stranger things got. The gooey thing started to cover the floor and walls more and more making it harder to avoid getting in contact with it. A creepy feeling was looming over the small tiger as well. On top of it he started hearing sloppy noises and couldn't decide if it was his imagination or if he was being watched.

It didn't take long for the way to be completely covered in the shiny black stuff. - "Damm it." - Shadow whispered to himself but continued onwards with his search. His small light was reflecting off the surface around him illuminating the path almost like he was holding a proper torch. He had to tread even more carefully because of how slick the path has become. But he was determined move onward.

Shadow has been walking for what seemed an eternity and encountered several dead ends but had no luck locating Tigriz. What's more, the noises seemed to get louder. He tried to ignore them as much as possible. - "I can't believe what a maze this place is. And this..." - He lifted up his feet revealing that his boots' soles were missing. His outfit was slowly falling apart from the bottom to top as the black goop was creeping up on it. - "I better find him soon, I don't want to find out what will happen to me if it's already eating away at my clothes." - He continued to walk down the current path he chose. The black tunnels were difficult to navigate in; it felt like he was walking in circles.

Another chunk of time has passed but Shadow was still aimlessly wandering around. He was munching on a cereal bar he saved from his coat getting melted away. His clothes were all gone save for his underwear, a black shiny speedo, ironically resembling the gooey stuff around him. He also decided do up his resistance just in case by growing to his muscular form. So now a muscle tiger in a black speedo was looking for a muscle tiger in a blue speedo.

"No wonder people aren't returning. Once you get lost you are done for." - Shadow looked around - "But I haven't seen any evidence of...-" - He stopped mid-sentence as he hit another dead end. He was turning around, yet something was calling out to him to keep going. He didn't really want to but he slowly reached out towards the wall. Just before his blackened finger would have touched it the wall started swirling and moving before simply just melting away. Strangely this newly discovered passageway was lit by something unseen. This was lucky for Shadow as his lighter was running low on fuel. The sloppy noises also became so loud it was obvious that the source of it was just a further bit ahead. Shadow threw his little torch away and headed in, towards the sounds.

The distance he had to walk was a lot shorter compared to how long he's been roaming around up till now. And when he arrived to the end of the short corridor his heart skipped a beat as the sight that greeted him was both relieving and terrifying: He finally found Tigriz! But... he was lying in the middle of a larger chamber of the mines, motionless. Everything was covered in the black goo except the tiger itself. - "Tigriz!" - Shadow called out to him and rushed in nearly slipping on the way. He stopped running but was still sliding forward trying to balance himself. - "Fuuuuu!" - With a loud thud he finally arrived at his friend landing on him.

"Uuffff" - Tigriz immediately got woken up by the weight landing on him. Still a bit drowsy it took him a couple of seconds to realize what was happening. - "Shadow?" - He noticed Shadow was not wearing clothes and was in his muscular form. A grin appeared on his face. - "I see how it is. I close my eyes for a second and you take advantage of poor old me."

The orange tiger pushed himself up and rubbed his face. - "Yeah of course and I also planned to do it in this creepy place, idiot..."

Tigriz looked around. - "Well who know what kind of kinks you are hiding from me."

Shadow offered a hand to help his partner up. - "I can't believe I was worried about you..."

The lying tiger reached out to grab the hand above him. - "Worried about me? Awww how sweet." - He grabbed Shadow's hand and was about to get up from his gooey bed. However when he tried to lift himself up it felt like he was stuck to the ground. - "Umm you helping me now or what?"

Shadow scowled and grabbed Tigriz's hand with both of his own. He took a firm position and tried to pull up the other one with more strength. Nothing happened. - "That's strange." - He smirked. - "What you say I take you piece by piece and reassemble you outside?"

Tigriz yipped. - "You would just take one part of me, I know it!" - He also raised the pitch of his voice a bit.

"Well since your brain is obviously damaged I have to salvage the only properly working part of you."

Shadow released TIgriz's arm and they both sighed looking at each other in silence for a couple of second. The quietness was strange because Shadow was sure he was hearing things before he arrived.

"So what now?" - The black tiger broke the silence.

Before Shadow could answer a strange feeling invaded both of them at the same time. Like something whispered into their minds. It wasn't a painful experience. Just the opposite: a sense of relaxation and calmness washed over them. It was comparable to when they drink a bit too much alcohol. And with a hint of lust, just enough to make Shadow lower himself over Tigriz. Now the two of them were face to face in close position, breathing softly. Their bodies were pressing against each other ever so slightly.

______________________________________________________________________________

The inexplicable thirst pushed them further until their lips met. They shared a passionate kiss, closing their eyes and wresting with their tongues. Their locked state stayed like that for minutes. Shadow was slowly rubbing his bulge against the one under him causing both of their speedos to stretch. The air was getting hot around them as they were passionately making out. The previous sloppy sounds were also coming back but they didn't care about that. All that mattered to them now was the other tiger.

They got so high on lust that they didn't notice the things happening around them. The only reason their kiss was broken because Tigriz felt as if something was moving under him pushing him up. Shadow also noticed this and opened his eyes to take a look. A blob was swelling under them. This ball of stickiness was changing and molding into distinct shapes. First two tentacle like tongues formed and moved around Tigriz's chest and arms, holding him in place. It then continued to grow two more under and between both of their legs. The gooey mass was still swelling slowly forming into more recognizable shapes. The first two tentacles became arms and were holding on Tigriz's pecs. The second set of them shifted into something like legs. More and more details appeared over time on the glob. The arms and legs gained mass and definition growing into muscular limbs. They were comparable to Tigriz's, like that of a bodybuilder's.

The main body of where they grew from mostly remained under the black tiger but he could feel a number of abs and strong pectorals. Next to his head something else was growing still though. A balloon like shape appeared and changed into a head. Two white eyes pooped out with similar white dots above them. A devious grin with sharp teeth smiled at the two tigers. Between the eyes and mouth the nose remained missing. The last thing that emerged was from between its legs. A shorter rod formed and was quickly taking its shape to become the monster's dick. And indeed it was a monster, a monster made of the black goo. It was groping Tigriz's pecs, and by the looks of it, was just as horny as the other two. The tigers were so lost in the pink haze of lust they just didn't care that a well-endowed gooey hunk joined them.

The two adventurers were so focused on each other they didn't notice there wasn't only one creature around. Multiple of them, with the same appearance, were surrounding them. Each of them sporting extremely well developed muscles. The mysterious light highlighting them as it bounced back from their black, shiny skin. Their herculean muscles were practically perfect. Wide shoulders, pecs beautifully swollen made to be like comfortable pillows you would want to rest on. Strong arms, in which you could feel the power just by looking at them. Four pairs of abs stacked like bricks on top of one another. You could run your hand across and feel every bump and crevasse between them until you reached their impressive tool. Thick, black, shiny and mouthwateringly inviting. You'd need to have impossible willpower not craving to touch, suck or want it in you. If you could look a bit further down you would see pairs of golf ball sized testicles dangling proudly, begging you for some fondling. From behind you wouldn't be able to decide whether you were looking at anatomy models or several gods of masculinity. Back muscles showing the perfect example of symmetry in which you could easily lose yourself admiring them. And slightly below were their shapely butts. Tempting you to get closer and grope them or stuff them or even put your face between the buns. Their thighs and calves worthy of admiration as well, light alluringly highlighting them, just waiting to be worshipped.

These gooey symbols of masculinity were standing around the tigers. With their hands on their own penises they were excitedly watching the scene unfold before them.

The newest 'member' of their party didn't waste time and started grinding its thick, black and slick manhood against the tigers' last piece of clothing. The rubbing left stains on the fabrics that grew over time. As the goo was seeping into and spreading over the speedos it was weakening them. Tigriz's and Shadow's throbbing erections were proving too strong to the already thin clothing. The slimy substance was melting the speedos away until the tigers' shafts couldn't be held back any longer. With a subtle tearing noise their dicks broke free from their stretchy prisons.

Now completely naked their needs rose to new heights. Shadow was already in a perfect position over Tigriz. The orange tiger's veiny tool alongside with the gooey one below them was directly aiming towards the tail hole of Tigriz. Shadow panted heavily and smirked. He pushed his rod against the back entrance and the monster followed suit. Tigriz's own penis was throbbing and twitching in excitement.

"Aaahhhh!" - A deep gasp escaped the lying tiger's lips: The two members finally penetrated him.

The goo sliding in together with Shadow helped lubricating Tigriz's hole. The two thick cocks stretched it wide but were moving in without any trouble. Steadily they pushed further and further in. And just like that they arrived balls deep. Tigriz shivered as they did. He didn't think he would like two dicks inside him so much. Shadow leaned down to give his partner a quick lick on the cheeks. After slurping back his tongue he smiled at him then started moving his hips backwards. The monster followed his movements. Shadow was slowly pulling out his ebony manhood, savoring every moment the tight hole and the gooey dick was massaging it. Just before fully exiting however he stopped, leaving his cockhead in. Now with more confidence and speed he pushed back in. He picked up a decent pace with the cycle of these movements. The insides of Tigriz were getting coated in goo making it all the easier for the orange tiger to continue the pounding.

Heavy breathing and sloppy sounds filled the chamber. The double penetration proved a lot more enjoyable for both tigers than they anticipated. So much more in fact that some pre was already dripping from both of their shafts. The creature below also seemed to love the intercourse.

A couple of the goo monsters couldn't hold themselves back and started making out with each other. Soon others joined them, steadily forming a proper gangbang. They were fucking, sucking, jerking and pleasing themselves and the others in seemingly impossible ways. They definitely utilized their unique bodies.

"Ahh-ahh-" - Tigriz moaned in delight. His prostate was given the best massage it has ever received. His balls grinded against Shadow's hard abs every time the orange tiger pressed in. The goo monster was groping the Tigriz's pecs, playing with his nipples, occasionally pinching them.

Shadow's black and glistening penis slightly expanded from being squeezed in each time he pulled back. Like the hole was a hand firmly grasping it. This wasn't the first time he topped his friend but with two shafts in the tail hole it was an entirely different experience.

The intense workout was leaving its mark on the tigers. They were getting slightly sweaty. Their fur was getting wetter and shinier. Their muscles were becoming more visible as the fur was sticking to their bodies. Some veins popped out on their biceps running along their arms.

Shadow leaned in to kiss his partner. The pink manhood of Tigriz got sandwiched between the two bodies. Shadow's abs were not only grinding against his balls but also his dick now. The black tiger moaned deeply into Shadow's mouth with every push.

After a while the top tiger leaned back up again leaving a bridge of saliva between their lips and a string of pre dangled from his stomach. He ran a finger across his pre stained fur and seductively cleaned it off. He licked his lips with a toothy grin on his face.

The lust was building up in Shadow and Tigriz, pushing them closer and closer to the edge. The speed at which Tigriz was screwed at was getting faster. They began grunting and panting as the heat got higher. Pre heavily leaked and tainted the fur on Tigriz's chiseled abs. Holding back was getting harder for both of them. They needed the release; they wanted it more than anything. This situation was nothing like they experienced before. The pleasure was much higher than any other time they 'had fun' together.

"Ahh-do-ah-it" - Tigriz managed to mutter two short words ready to be filled.

"I-argh-will" - Shadow replied.

The tiger on top grit his teeth as his member stiffened and blood rushed in his face. - "Grraaaah!" - A loud and beastly roar echoed through the caves as Shadow finally reached climax and unladed his seeds into Tigriz. Closely following the orange tiger the gooey brute let out a deep rumbling sound. After that it pushed its slick rod in as deep as possible and shot its hot and black load. A mix of black and white cum was spilling out of the bottom tiger's hole.

This was enough to push Tigriz over the edge. - "A-a-aaah!" - With a shout he also exploded, launching his spunk all over himself.

The creature under them opened its mouth and a long black tongue rolled out of it. It gulped down every drop of the warm seeds that landed in his mouth. With loud slurping sounds it also licked some off Tigriz's face.

The other monsters that weren't occupied with another one were jerking themselves while watching the tigers. They tensed up as they saw the moment they were all waiting for. With a similar growl they all followed up and nutted their gooey semen all over Shadow and Tigriz. The thick goop stained their fur as it landed on them. However it didn't just stick to them it was also seeping into their flesh making it darker. The place smelled like a sweaty gym mixed with cum. And it definitely looked almost like one with all those adonises.

Expecting exhaustion the adventurers took a deep breath basking in the afterglow of their orgasms. But to their surprise or maybe joy they didn't feel tired at all.

A strange thing invaded their minds once again. The whispers returned though now they heard it say things a lot more clearly. - "Pleasure me, pleasure yourselves. Let lust take over, let it feed me..."

______________________________________________________________________________

Still high on pleasure the tigers weren't able to think clearly. Black goo was still flowing onto them from the creatures, further corrupting their minds and bodies. In addition the goop from the floor slowly started crawling its way up on them. It was giving them a smooth, skintight coating of the black slime.

Not needing more enticement and feeling revitalized Shadow and Tigriz gladly took on a second round. With their newfound strength everything felt like it was pumped up another level. Compared to their first session this was even better. The coating slowly covered their legs but did not stop there. The monster under Tigriz was also still pumping him full with the black seeds. Goo was overflowing from his tail hole which also began to spread.

The moment the shiny goop reached their balls a high dose of pleasure shot through them. In turn they launched a load of pre, yet it was not quite the same as before. It was blackened like everything around them. The spreading was speeding up as it quickly covered their manhoods and lower bodies. Their lovemaking was rather intense. The slick covering of Shadow's thick tool and Tigriz's hole increased their sensitivity and nearly eliminated all friction. Intense pleasure filled them with every movement.

Both of them were huffing and growling almost in the same way as the creatures around. The coating was reaching up to their abs. At this point something else was changing too. Their entire bodies were being molded into a different shape. Most noticeably Shadow was getting more built. His shoulders widened, his pecs got fuller and gropable. His abs popped out even more and became a bumpy 8 pack. His arms became two thick guns. They were being altered to become just like the monsters. The goo slowly grew Shadow's muscles into the same perfect shape and refined Tigriz's. If they weren't so focused on the fucking they more than likely could have gotten off just by watching themselves grow. The shiny skin was almost all over them except their heads.

Their growling was getting louder and more frequent as they were getting close once again. No clear words left their lips this time; they just looked at one another.

Blood hardened their dicks to the maximum and all the goo creatures roared with them as black cum was sent everywhere. The flow of the thick semen didn't stop for several minutes. During that time their minds were bombarded with pleasure. The monsters closed in to them showering them with even more of the black gold. Some went as far as to walk directly up to them. One crouched down a little bit and stuffed Tigriz's mouth. Another one stood in front of Shadow, pushed him back a little bit and started pecfucking him. Shadow happily lapped up every drop of the gooey nectar that got shot onto his face. A third one kneeled down behind Shadow and without hesitation showed its dick in the tiger's ass, humping him. This was the first time Shadow got penetrated in his muscular form. But he wasn't fully himself anymore. Goo was flowing nonstop onto and into them. They didn't want it to stop; they wanted this to last forever.

"That is possible, if you join me." - The voice spoke to them in an alluring way. - "All you have to do is bring me more subjects. It's a fair deal isn't it?"

The almost turned adventurers slowly nodded. The goo on their necks resumed its way to fully envelope them. It took away the tigers' face and replaced them with that of the monsters'. They became one and the same with them. Their minds went blank. All they could think about was sex and corrupting others into one of them. After practically being showered in the shiny ebony stuff their bodies slowly were joining back into the ground. Shapeless as they were they felt constant pleasure of fucking and being fucked. The chamber became 'empty' once again and only the sloppy sounds remained.

"Good! If things keep going like this I'll soon be free!" - A distant voice could be heard but not only in the minds of the corrupted.

The mine claimed two more victims. And it continued to do so because the more entered the more became trapped inside.

______________________________________________________________________________

Who knows how much time has passed before Shadow and Tigriz got very lucky. An overconfident adventurer ventured inside the dangerous mine. He was a fox who could channel fire through his tail. His quick movements helped him to avoid capture and he was a rather pure fellow. His mind was rejecting temptation for longer than any other that had entered before him. It was Shadow's and Tigriz's empty husks that tried to charm him into the chamber. Scared for his life the fox was desperately trying to escape. He was already stripped naked and semi hard, yet his tail burned bright with magical fire. The two simple minded monsters weren't expecting the agile adventurer's next move: He coiled his fluffy tail around the two creatures' neck and unleashed a fiery attack.

The goo monsters flinched in surprise and the fox took this opportunity to make a run for it. Meanwhile the incredible heat from the attack seemed to have melted away some of the goop from the two creatures' faces. Their eyes were freed and that was just enough. The sight of the running fox's glowing tail ticked something in them. They felt like they have been awoken from a deep slumber. They just stood there in silence while the would be victim was getting further away. A full minute must have passed before they started moving again. They looked at each other and their eyes widened. The realization hit them of what was happening. They both tried to say "fuck" but were unable to speak still and only made growling noises.

The previous scene with the fox and fire gave Tigriz an idea. He concentrated as much as he could in his current state. Nothing seemed to happen at first but a few second later the goo started bubbling all over his body. Seeing as his plan was doing something he quickly hugged Shadow and shared his almost unbearable heat. The slick suit on them appeared to be weak against extremely high warmth. Steadily it was melting down like non sticky tar.

Shadow's head returned to its original state and he took a deep breath as if he just came up from underwater. - "Gaaaah! Holly shit, keep it up!" - He gritted his teeth, tightly holding on his literally hot friend.

Tigriz turned up the heat by a notch forcing the goo off them even quicker. Their bodies were gaining back their earlier forms. Shadow looked like he was deflating. Their minds were also getting clearer. This experience was probably the hottest Shadow's ever been in. Luckily his muscle form was somewhat more resistant. They pretty much hugged the corruption out of each other with the help of Tigriz's fire. A good minute or two passed but by the looks of it they were back to normal.

"Let's get the fuck outta here!" - Tigriz conjured a fire orb in his palm and just started running.

"You don't have to tell me that." - Shadow followed closely behind.

They were just running without even knowing the way. They kept taking turns like an invisible hand was guiding them. Their dicks were swinging left and right as they run. The tunnels didn't seem as long this time around compared to when Shadow first entered.

A glimpse of sunlight, a ray of hope in their field of vision: They could finally see the exit to this cursed place. Pushing themselves further, they dashed as quickly as they possibly could. Gasping for air the sun almost blinded them as they at last were outside.

"Y-you were in there as well?" - A trembling voice called out to them. The fox was sitting under a tree hugging his tail, hiding his genital. His build was on the slimmer side but he still had some muscles.

After catching his breath Shadow stood straight, letting his manhood dangle freely. - "Yeah..And fuck that shithole!"

The little fox-man quickly averted his eyes and sadly mumbled into the tail. - "Hehe...You can say that again...

"C'mon! I don't like seeing another fire guy down like that." - Tigriz vigorously patted the fox's back.

"How did you- WHOAAH" - Suddenly the sulking adventurer was lifted from the ground and put on his feet. He let his tail go in surprise revealing his own penis.

"I'm Tigriz by the way." - The black tiger proudly introduced himself.

Still slightly in shock the fox replied. - "F-Fraron"

The orange tiger stepped closer. - "Nice to meet you. I'm Shadow." - He put a hand on Fraron's shoulder. - "And now that we are acquainted may I suggest that we get the hell away from here."

"Right..."-The fox replied.

The two big tigers took their way towards the nearest town. Fraron reluctantly but walked behind them trying his best not to stare at the swaying butts before him. His tail was in his hands yet again giving him comfort and a form of cover to his naked body.

While walking next to the road on their way to the closest town a very generous lizard-girl offered them a lift all the way back to the city. During the trip however she was looking more at the boys rather than the road. When they arrived at the Adventurers' association building the lizard-girl handed Tigriz a small piece of paper before driving off. The tigers held back their laughter and placed the note on top of the little fox's head before heading in. Fraron stumbled trying to catch the falling paper. He looked at it and blushed; it was the girl's number.

The three naked adventurers entered the main hall and immediately were greeted by a quest manager. He called them over to a room and offered them some temporary clothing. After dressing up, Shadow returned to his smaller form with a sigh of relief.

"Let me congratulate you for clearing the quest." - The man sat down in front of them.

"But we haven't-" - Fraron spoke up but the man interrupted him.

"-Reported in, yes. But let me explain. Another party went there to try to clear the mine but when they arrived they saw you three leave the area, naked. They still went to the mines and found it completely empty. I assume whatever was in there destroyed your possession so it's understandable you couldn't report immediately. Lucky for you that other party didn't take the credit and gave good enough description so we could identify you. What's more strange when they exited an odd sight greeted them." - He cleared his throat. - "All of the previously missing adventurers as well as a couple of missing people were in a pile, also naked as well as covered in...something I'd rather not say."

He continued to explain that the other party is now waiting for help. Finally he handed the reward voucher, split in thirds, to them, saying even though they didn't accept it as a team they obviously finished it as one. He also added that he was happy that Shadow and Tigriz didn't abandon the quest and apparently just took it on later.

The two tigers and the fox just sat there in silence as the manager's monologue didn't give them time to speak. He let them go asking them to return later to give report as to what happened. At the end they accepted the reward and left the building. Shadow and Fraron felt a bit guilty but they needed the money. Tigriz was just happy he got paid. They agreed on a convincing story involving excessive use of fire.

For the rest of the day the three tired adventurers returned to their homes. Shadow and Tigriz basically flopped into bed when they got to their apartment. Tigriz pulled Shadow into a spooning position and as usual teased the small tiger with pushing his bulge against Shadow's butt. Sleep came quickly to them. Their rest wasn't entirely peaceful. Both of them were having a nightmare. They jolted awake in the middle of the night. They couldn't remember what they were dreaming about but one thing got stuck in their heads:

• Blimex -
