Always Ascending

[Roselli]

"I'm still me though. I'll watch over you, Red. Do the best I can."

[Ordos]

Naethra tries her best not to resist the magic.

[Ryuforce]

Duran takes a deep breathe before offering herself without resistance to the spell. "I hope this works..."

[Alice]

Eve smiles and the four holding hands in a circle feel a slight tingle.. The tiefling sinks inward on herself becoming a shiny rock, she then sprouts a leather string becoming a crude bit of goblin jewelry. The dragonborn sinks down becoming a shoe insole perfectly sized for Gwen's shoe.

The dwarf and plant girl each shrink becoming a pair of simple broad copper rings chiming slightly as they bounce off each other.

She picks up the necklace and insole and hands them to Gwen.

She passes the rings to Lou, "They are sized for goblin toes.. I'm sure your fingers would work just as well."

The four are alert and calm.. Their minds are not invaded by the joys of inanimation. Rather, they are simply.. comfortable. None of the aches and pains that come with fleshy bodies. Even pressed under foot or having their entire beings penetrated is simply warm and somewhat pleasant, Something akin to a soft chair by a fire.

Unless they have a fetish of course..

[Nihtgenga]

Retiaria couldn't help but smile at Gwen as she felt the magic's warm tingles spreading through her body. It was reassuring to know she had a friend watching her back. Or... whatever the equivalent would be for the form she was being shifted into.

She felt herself shrinking, becoming small, hard and round. What was she? Then she felt something growing from her. A tail? No... a string. She'd been turned into a pendant? Huh. It felt... strange, but not bad. Unlike last time, there was no foreign instinct to be what she'd been turned into pressing on her mind, it was just her. That had been what she'd been fearing most, so its absence came as a huge relief. She was able to just relax, waiting patiently to be put on.

[Roselli]

I gently take the items and I start with putting the pendant around my neck. Clasping it and letting it rest around my neck, and against my fur. The chain long enough for it to rest in the crevice of my bosom.

Next I removed my boot. And slipped in the insole. I brought my foot into it. Moving my toes to get the best fit and the balls of my feet press down as I stand normally.

"And they'll be ok??" I ask Eve

[Alice]

Eve nods, "They are totally fine. I went as low power as I could. Just don't use them for stuff they aren't supposed to be used for."

[Ryuforce]

The dragonborn figured a boot would work well but an insole!? Of all things something that would be stuck under a heel and easily forgotten. Wait! That would be useful! So.. long as Gwen doesn't forget, it will be far harder for the Gnoll to notice a magical insole hiding in a boot then the boot itself being a magically transformed person. Now all she has to do is just focus and not ge-

There was a gasp coming from the insole when the ball of Gwen's foot presses against it. It felt way better then the dragonborn could thought or considered. Pressed down by the soft sole and housing those lovely toes made the dragonborn want to squirm in delight. Oddly despite holding up all the weight of the squirrel, no matter how light she is at this point, should be problematic, but the dragonborn found doing it rather easy and thus being rewarded with enjoying the foot she's now help keep comfortable. And it just felt so very good to feel that foot on her. If she could blush right now she easily would but regardless she could safely enjoy this hidden inside the boot she was trapped in. For how ever long it takes to get to the gnoll castle or... however long it takes to be remembered. yeah either way works right now for the foot loving dragon.

[Dichotomy]

My stomach turned a bit at being handed two... people. Inanimate transmutation is a tricky business but... well, I suppose it's necessary.

I clear my throat, and cast my spell again- it's nice to have some influence over my own form, even if I'm circumscribed in potential application. I shape the magic to pattern my form after one of the goblins we had run into previously... given that they were exclusively female, I stick to that, even if it makes me grumble internally.

Slipping both rings over adjacent fingers, I adjust my clothing. "Well... I'm still in the camp of this being a bad idea, but as I lack a better once, let's get on with it."

[Ordos]

Naethra braced herself for the invasive flow of perverted desires and cognitive distortion that marked her time as a mug, but found those invasive sensations largely absent.  Her perspective was disjointed, and collapsing in on herself into a simple ring felt disconcertingly like falling, but aside from that... it was rather pleasant.

She worried that the mind-alterations might have been so subtle that they completely escaped her notice.  But, paradoxically, worrying about that seemed to undermine its liklihood. 

She felt good.  Nothing particularly pleasurable, she realized, but rather a general absence of pain and discomfort.  She briefly recalled the topical pain-balm she was given after a minor accident with a wizard's fire spell. 

She tried to keep herself focused.  She couldn't do anything now but wait and hope.  She felt Lou slip her over a green finger, bumping against Oric (who she was certain was getting off on this).  She certainly felt small and mundane, so at least that aspect of the plan was working.  She tried to think of the conning fight, planning her first move and spell...

Eve leads you along a trail. Before too long you arrive at a wall of shaved tree trunks lashed together with  some sort of cord sunk into the ground. Each one is sharpened at the top, but none to a very fine point. She walks along the wall till she reaches a gate house manned by a goblin. She stops, "I have news for the queen open the door."

The goblin gives you all the stink eye..

(rolled to deceive the goblin with advantage, good news..you passed)

The goblin opens the door and lets you through. As Eve walks across the grassy ground, you realize this place is not as well stocked or manned as you had assumed. There are a few buildings, Only one has a door and it is secured by some manner of lock. Eve however leads you to the corner of the compound where there is a three story wooden tower. "This is where she has her throne, and her loot."

She moves past the two sleepy looking goblin guards and into the bottom floor chamber. A single Gnoll relaxes against the wall, but Eve moves to the stairs and climbs them to the second floor.

There you see her.. Flanked by two fierce looking armored gnolls is.. An enormously fat Jackal of a gnoll! The guards each have a haze of.. something around their heads and she looks at Eve, "What news do you have.. what is going on?" Her eyes flash..

Eve Stands stiff, "I've come to betray you and brought adventurers!" She gasps and covers her mouth before snapping her fingers and undoing her magics..

Oric and Naethra stand holding hands with Lou, Red and Gwen share an embrace, and Duran appears on her back under the bard tongue out licking her now bare foot. "Of course one of you would have a fetish..."

The Queen leans forward masive bulk shifting.. "WHat is the meaning of this!" She snarls upsetting a plate of food that falls to the floor "Explain yourselves! What have you done my Eve?"

(Feel free to write a post including your thoughts and feelings about the gnoll fort, be sure to include...

Retiaria found herself rather enjoying her time as a necklace. It wasn't the single-minded bliss of fulfilling a purpose, like she'd experienced last time she's been turned into an item, but was more like a combination of a long nap in a comfy bed, and a warm, relaxing bath. With nothing else to do, she let herself just float...


Suddenly, the comfortable haze was gone. A moment of... twisting... and then she was herself again, arms wrapped around Gwen's neck. "Okay, I'm big enough to admit I was wrong- that was actually pretty fun."
Giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before she pulled away, Retiaria turned and saw the queen for the first time. "Fucking hell, you really are one fatass bitch, ain't ya? Alright Jiggly, let's fuckin' do this! Eve's free now, and soon all your brainwashed bitches will be too!"

Duran could only see darkness and thus knows not of how heavily guarded the gnoll leader is. More so, she doesn't even know how long it's been and for a moment didn't care. Not when she had something so wonderful pressing into her with every step. Was the walk short? Hours long? Days? It almost didn't matter at all until everything snapped too and the dragonborn realized she was laying there on her back, licking the now bare foot. She probably wouldn't even noticed that right away if it wasn't for the comment about someone having a fetish...

Turning onto her belly and right next to Gwyn, she looked forward towards the leader of the gnolls. It, wasn't quite what she expected. If anything, she assumed she would be fierce looking like the two guards that stand before her or as mighty as the Demigod Nebrix herself. Yet here she was as a large and certainly in charge gnoll. Not that the once pudgy dragonborn can say anything about it.

Trying to keep her composure and work on standing, Duran stared down the fat gnoll. "We are here to make you pay for all the crimes you have committed along with the oppression you placed upon the poor people of this land!" Yeah that,s total hero paladin talk. Just like in the stories. "I would say 'surrender now' but I strongly doubt you will at this current point."

Eve looks confused when you call the gnoll a fat ass..

The queen grins, "oh.. is she now.. Eve.. if these meddlers haven't thrown down their weapons in one minute turn what passes for your magic on yourself. I could go for another of those chocolate puff pastries."

Eve whimpers looking at her as she lifts her hands to her chest.

Oric:

I'm ready the moment I return to my body, or at least close to it. But once she gives her instruction to Eve I immediately realize our mistake "Damnitweneedtokeeptalking! Louderisbetterjustdon'tletanyonehearwhatshe'ssaying!" (damn it we need to keep talking! Louder is better just don't let anyone hear what she's saying!) and then proceed to yell until someone else takes up the job. (hopefully soon)
