Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Preparation
The exit from the dungeon was cleverly hidden in a thicket of bushes at the bottom of a small ravine. The tentacled monster and I made it out without any trouble and freed our prisoners.
After waiting for my companions to finish enjoying the fresh air, I led them to the cave where I had appeared in this world. It was now inhabited by Orcs, Spiderman, and intelligent snails, but there was still room for the tentacle monsters. Especially since the cave's inhabitants were quite adequate.
To find the cave, we had to wander through the forest. But thanks to a landmark in the form of a mountain range, and the tentacle monsters' ability to quickly climb trees to survey their surroundings, we finally made it to the cave.
A guard of armed orcs met us at the entrance and, recognizing me, let me in. Then we had to wander around the cave and introduce the new inhabitants to the old ones. There were no problems.
After the introductions, I took the monsters to their assigned part of the cave. After explaining the peculiarities of local life, I caught one of the slime (of which there were already 3) and instructed it to crawl to the new inhabitants.
Then I asked Spiderman to fence in the territory of the new cave dwellers with spider webs. Finally, I healed the women they had captured, gaining a new skill level and +30 to mana. The elder of the tentacle monsters thanked me sincerely for my care... Then we parted.
My next destination was the place where the orcs lived. After making sure that everything was in order, I cast "cleansing" and "healing" on the captives they were using, and then went on my way. The bodies of the demoness and the succubus had already gone to the slime, and there were no bones left.
I stayed with Spiderman the longest, telling him the latest news and discussing plans for the future. He had the best of it, not only with an impressive supply of women, wine, and food, but also with a sort of arena in his cage where he would put a succubus or one of his captives and make them do sexy things to each other.
The succubus liked it and were eager to meet him, though they tried to recruit Spiderman to their side. The women tried to resist actively, but they had no chance against the powerful Spiderman monster and the charming succubus.
The generous host offered to have some fun with one of the captives and me, but I declined - there was a charming dark elf waiting for me in the city.
Leaving the cave, I followed the familiar path towards the road, activating "silence". Then I sneaked along the road to the city, and finally along the city to the eastern gate. I didn't meet anyone along the way, but judging by the third level of "silence" I got, they were just hiding well.
The guards at the gate let me through without a problem, just a cursory check with an artifact to detect demonic nature. Once in the city, I went to the rebels Alaiss had recruited and, after presenting them with the map drawn by the tentacle monsters, told them that my business in the dungeon was finished.
After saying goodbye to the men, I went back to my inn, as evening was approaching and I was soon to be visited by a dark elf.
After ordering a large dinner, I sat down at the table and checked my stats, admiring the new skill levels I had gained today.
