Author Notes
It's nice to know that folks like seeing Cassidy get his bunny butt pumped. ^.^ It's also nice that folks like "good endings." I am perfectly fine with "bad ending" results, however, just so folks know in case they want to see them in future posts.
Pathfinding Seventy-third Entry
Her lithe body struggling in the dimly flickering light of the kobold main meeting tunnel, Adel pulled with all her might, but to no avail. She was suspended in the air by shackles of a strange black metal around her wrists and ankles, with another around her neck, covered in dark runes that she couldn't read. Right now, the runes were glowing with a dim golden light, but she knew from experience that the brightness of their glow varied with the amount of power they were putting out. To simply hold the slim young chipmunk girl suspended above the ground, her pert nudity on full display after the kobolds had snatched off her armor and underclothes, took almost no effort at all, for she wasn't heavy at all, and the strength of the shackles was such that she didn't have a hope of breaking free of them. After all, if mighty ones like Jonna or Padmini couldn't get free, Adel certainly didn't.
Speaking of Jonna and Padmini, they weren't far off in the vast chamber, forced down on their knees, their heads lowered, their bottoms held high, both as naked as Adel. Similar black rings of magical steel encircled their wrists, necks, and ankles, their wrists locked firmly behind their backs. The kobolds were all around them, chattering happily in their pidgin draconic as they squeezed and caressed and "milked" the full, generous breasts of the nude warrior women, obviously deeply fascinated by their beautiful mammaries. A few even took to sucking on the swollen, fat nipples, and though they were disappointed in one sense - neither of the two females was lactating - they were more than overjoyed at the moans of pleasure this forced from the lips of the helpless she-minotaur and young elephant girl.
Heartened by this reaction, more of the wicked little beasts started to run their scaly hands over Jonna's muscular flanks and Padmini's more fleshy ones, which very soon turned to squeezing and outright groping. Though Jonna was able to just grit her teeth and endure the intimate handling of her perfectly-toned posterior, her expression one of indignant righteous fury, Padmini, who was vastly more sensitive, gave a series of moans, which quickly turned to a high-pitched squeal as her tail was seized and hiked high, her plump grey buns spread widely apart by the bad little beasts, baring her tightly-clasped grey-skinned cunny lips, which were already quite darkly flushed and plump with moisture.
Padmini's weakening of will just encouraging them, the kobolds swiftly started to thrust their greedy little muzzles beneath her tail, their long, ribbonlike tongues darting out again and again, their fingers probing inward, coming away soaked with the elephant-girl's slick juices. Seeing the younger girl's reaction, other kobolds swiftly grabbed Jonna's tail, hiking it high as well before three of them thrust their muzzles almost into her dark pussy, licking and lapping and nibbling with a host of high-pitched, yelping exclamations of approval: apparently they liked the way the she-minotaur tasted quite a lot. Jonna grit her teeth all the tighter, her lips curling back as she fought the pleasure being forced upon her by the kobolds sucking her teats and licking her cunny at the same time. It was a losing battle, however, and try as she might, she'd lose eventually. The moment she orgasmed the first time, she knew she wouldn't be able to resist any more.
Not far away, Maji was similarly shackled, the enchanted black steel somehow preventing her from using her normal elemental malleability. She was splayed out on her back on what appeared to have been a smooth, marble altar from some bygone era, but which the kobolds now were using as a play table. Her tail dangled over the edge, and twitched, as did her thighs and back, as the kobolds eagerly slurped on her tasty body, seeming not to care where they licked or nibbled on her - apparently Maji was equally sensitive all over her body. Also apparently Maji tasted delicious, something to which Adel could attest, having tasted the sweet inner juices of the orca elemental before. Her entire body quivered at times, and she cried out loudly, her body arching upward against her bonds as she was easily brought to orgasm by the cunning little brutes.
Ryg was hardly in a better situation, for she was positioned on her knees, her wrists bound behind her, wearing similar black steel manacles to everyone else. These manacles seemed to dampen her ability to use magic, for she was obviously unable to call upon her powers. If she'd been able to call up the powers of wind and earth as normal, she would surely have stopped the colorfully-painted, bone fetish-bedecked kobold shamans pinching and squeezing her soft-furred, naked body, while holding her head over a small censer, which was letting up a translucent green smoke from its depths. Adel could hear Ryg softly pleading with the cruel shamans to spare her mind even if they would show no mercy to her body, but they only laughed and bent her over a little more, making her breathe deeply of the strange mystic fumes. One of the shamans laughed as he said something to his companions, then took hold of Ryg's tail, hiking it high, before he began working his fingers into her already quite juicy quim, all the shamans, male and female alike, laughing at the aroused moans this forced from the doomed she-wolf shamaness' throat.
Turning her head to the side, Adel saw that Hanaro was suspended in the air like her, her armor and underclothes similarly stripped away. The young samurai girl seemed to be taking her present predicament in stride, her typical stoicism helping her to maintain control, even with her smooth, pale skin on full display as it was. Adel realized that being naked must be even worse for Hanaro than it was for her: after all, at least Adel still had her fur.
Though she was about to say something to her friend and fellow mate with Rufus, Adel's attention was suddenly torn away by a loud, girlish squeal from slightly in front of her, in the darker part of the cavern. It was Rael! Her eyes finally adjusted to the dim lighting in the kobold caverns, Adel caught sight of the hulking form of Skaeth, the big, brutal bull chuckling wickedly as he eagerly groped the poor little puppygirl's upraised tushie, occasionally dipping his broad muzzle down to run his thick, rough tongue over her delicate pink parts. Rael squirmed and whined and whimpered adorably as she was so forcefully aroused, her tender places stimulated despite her wishes, and made even more so as Skaeth closed a huge hand over her entire little cunny and began to palpate it, soon filling the cavern around him with the loud squishing and squelching sounds of little Rael's juicy cunny getting nice and ready for mating. The minotaur's heavy, uncut cock stood at full erection, looking like a brutal bludgeon compared to Rael's dainty girlish slit. He'd fit, of that Adel had little doubt, since Rufus wasn't that much smaller than the hulking brown-furred bull, but the fit would be very tight indeed.
"Why, Skaeth?" Adel asked suddenly, trying to distract the betraying bull for as long as she could, hoping against hope that Rufus might still somehow reach them before it was too late. "Why did you betray us?"
"I'm a mercenary, princess," Skaeth replied, turning his head to look at Adel as she dangled in the air, and from the eager look in his eyes, Adel knew that she'd only added herself to the list of young beauties Skaeth intended to violate with that immense maul he called a cock. "Praxis left me with a few ways to contact some of his old employers, and him also. Well, he - or rather, she - contacted me through one of those devices a while back."
Skaeth shrugged, reaching out to wrap a huge hand around Adel's waist, pulling her toward him through the air.
"Turns out Praxis can come back even from death, though it leaves that wicked old hellcat a bit weaker every time, and tends to change his - or her - sex, along with a few other details, such as memory retention. Still, Praxis knew enough to be able to make me an offer from the Warlord." The big bull grinned, pushing Adel onto the ground on her dainty feet, then pushing her further down, onto her knees. "It was a lot. A lot more'n what Rufus could offer, that's for sure, even if he wins. And all I had to do was get in touch with these dragon-worshiping kobolds and organize 'em a bit. Their dragon's been dead a while, and they were pretty eager to get another goddess to fill that role, so all I had to do was convince 'em the Warlord'd bring 'em some fresh pussy, and the rest, as they say, was history."
Chuckling to himself, Skaeth pulled Hanaro toward him with his other hand, then easily pushed her down to the ground on her knees alongside Adel, before bending them both over with irresistible strength, until the two girls were presenting their bare bottoms on either side of poor, wriggling little Rael.
"Getting to plow out your pussies was just a nice bonus," Skaeth added as his big hands started to maul Adel's tiny girlparts, making her cheeks flush, her bottom tensing up as she tried to resist, while on the other side of Rael, Hanaro's cheeks were similarly flushed, the samurai girl's jaw clenching as she fought against the forced pleasure. "These dragonchains are pretty impressive, aren't they? They're leftovers from the old dragon's hoard, meant to shackle and break down the wills of other dragons as part of some game of manipulation. Some sort of sneaky strategy machination that dragons do, using us mortals as pawns, I think. Not that I care, really: if a dragon couldn't resist these manacles, there's no way any of you can."
Skaeth's muzzle split in a wide grin, and he rose, circling around the three girls, before kneeling in front of them, arching his hips forward, thrusting out his bulbous glans just beneath their noses.
"Here, let me demonstrate: give me pleasure with your mouths, and do a good job of it, too."
Immediately, the runes on the shackle around the three girls' necks started to blaze with golden light. Despite herself, Adel felt her mouth start to water, and couldn't keep from licking her lips as she looked at the throbbing, delicious length of hard bull meat dripping precum before her.
No! No! She couldn't! She wouldn't! This wasn't...she wasn't...
She was already licking Skaeth's balls, sucking on the sweaty sac before she knew what she was doing. To her side, Rael was licking her way up the towering brown-skinned shaft, working her smooth wolfy tongue in circles to either side, while Hanaro had her lips wrapped around the seeping tip, suckling on it wetly.

"I hate kobold tunnels," growled Rufus as he and Urtan stood side-by-side, holding up an especially heavy block of solid stone that had begun to slide down out of a hidden recess above the party, before Cassidy had spotted it just in time, before it could build up enough momentum to smash down on them. Now the two tallest members of the team were stuck holding it up, while everyone else passed beneath.
"You've fought kobolds before?" asked Urtan, and Rufus had to process the question for a moment longer than normal: he still wasn't used to his best friend being able to talk.
"Yeah, once," Rufus growled, wincing a bit as Urta, in passing, took this opportunity to grope his goodies beneath his loincloth. "It was pretty awful. Sure, my team wiped out the nest of the little bastards and took back the stuff they'd stolen, but they took out half of us in the process. Two of my team got killed, while one other never was able to walk properly again - magical healing can get pretty expensive if you don't have it on hand like we did with Ryg. It's the traps that do it - kobolds are pretty weak, and I admit, they're kind of fun to hump," the hoary-furred wolf added with a grin. "They make cute noises when you stick it in 'em - guess that's why I let some of the nasty things go free even after everything they did to us, and they scarpered off to some other bolthole, and were never seen in those parts again. But they know hit-and-run, and they know tunnels, and they know traps. It wouldn't surprise me if they're watching us right now, actually."
"They're not," said Cassidy softly as Rufus and Urtan stepped out from under the heavy block, letting it down nice and slow. "Wicker and me already bypassed the alarms out front, and I think they're all down in the tunnels," the tan-furred rabbit looked miserable at this admission, "enjoying their spoils."
It was obvious that Cassidy felt terrible about abandoning the others, even when he knew he couldn't have helped them. Despite being a sniper, the bunny really was quite brave. But he was also very pragmatic, and he'd known that his skills would be better served helping Rufus to rescue the others, rather than being one of those that needed rescuing.
Rufus reached out and gripped Cassidy's shoulder, smiling down at the tight-muscled rabbit.
"Tell you what," Rufus said as his smile turned to a toothy grin. "After all this is over, I'll give you a good, hard bunny bouncing, just like you'd've gotten if you'd been captured. And I won't stop no matter how much you beg me for mercy. Think that'll make you feel better?"
"I...yeah," Cassidy admitted, his cheeks flushing, obviously rather flustered at the mental images Rufus called up with his casual promise of brutal bunny buggering in the future. "I...I guess that'd be what I deserve. For running away."
Before anything more could be said, Cassidy started back to the front of the party, Wicker right behind him to act as a second pair of eyes, while One-eye, whose hearing was surprisingly acute thanks to the loss of an eye, took up the rear guard, listening for the patter of sneaky scaly feet in the darkness. The party had to travel in single-file, of course, thanks to the narrow tunnels the kobolds used, and most of the time they had to crouch as well. But they were making good time, even with all the stops they had to make as Cassidy worked his way through the numerous traps lining the way, all the way down. It was only a matter of time before they reached the kobolds' central lair, where their prisoners were surely being kept.
Then would be the time for vengeance.
Path Choices
We have a choice of battle strategy, followed by a more simple choice. Our party is composed of the following people (in alphabetical order):
Cassidy
Erlend
One-eye
Rufus
Shara
Urta
Urtan
Wicker
First, taking into account who is on our team, how shall we assault the kobolds?
1) Use Shara to fling out distractions, then use them as cover for a charge, laying waste as we go.
2) Rain down ranged fire on the kobolds to soften them up before plowing into them.
3) Strike at the kobold leadership (including Skaeth) first, then round up the rest.
4) Have our bruisers attack, while the more stealthy ones free and arm all the prisoners.
Each option has a base 30% of success, with a hidden bonus based on how well the present party is able to handle the task in question.
You can select more than one choice, but please list your choices in the order that you want them to take place, as this will influence their likelihood of success.
Also note if you want us to take prisoners if possible, as this will decrease our overall likelihood of success by 5%, but also ensure we have lots of kobold slaves if we do succeed.
If we succeed, shall we take Skaeth alive, or kill him? This will not influence the percentage chance of success one way or the other: it is a purely story-based option.
Note that if we take Skaeth alive, we will thoroughly render him into a properly obedient sex slave, with extensive use of mind-control magic. He will pay for his betrayal, one way or another.
