Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 25: Marching Hills

<- Previous: Great Poison Swamp

After a completely arbitrary detour through the Great Poison Swamp in order to pick up Mephisto, it’s time to continue the journey to Grangold.  There’s the little matter of getting past that golem army.

Yep, I can see how this would be considered an obstacle

This is where Mephisto comes in.  So, what you got?

Mephisto performs some kind of magic ritual and all the golems crumble to dust.

Um, yeah.  That works.  I guess.

(Fuuuuuck)

Then it’s a long and torturous route through the hills.  And I mean long and torturous.  I think it’s around 11 or 12 screens of JRPG maps.  I’m not sure what Toro Toro Resistance was thinking here to be honest.  Did this area really need 11 or 12 separate maps for what is essentially a straight path?

The maps alternate between underground and overground sections.  The underground sections are populated with the same ant girls, automata girls and paizuri dolls that showed up in Gold Fort, albeit in greater numbers.

Hint: you probably want to keep your more flammable waifus at home for this, as squads of four paizuri dolls are quite common and they have pretty nasty flamethrower attacks to go along with their big tits.

(For some reason I have a mental image of a paizuri doll firing out jets of flame from her nipples and it was so awesome I felt I had to share it.  There must be fanart of that somewhere, maybe in one of the 4chan /vg/ threads.  And if not, why not?  Get to it, art peeps.)

The encounters are different for the overground sections.  The one Grangold monster girl we haven’t seen yet, mud golem, finally makes an appearance.

Meme lovers rejoice.  The Maiden of Mud hath returned.

She will also likely be one of the most annoying wandering monsters you’ll have to face.  Best I can tell, she is completely immune to all the turn-one insta-KO strategies.  The Digestion status can’t be put on her, so the blobs can’t Blob Boa her.  She can’t be put in a trance, so the carnivorous plant girls can’t stuff her in their pitchers and be done with her.  I don’t think she can bound either, so lamias can’t use Swallow on her.  This just leaves regular damage and the enemies at this point have grown so damage-spongey, it’s a bit of a hassle.  I think I ended up running from her encounters unless I was trying to recruit her or get all her item drops.

The other two monster girl encounters are brand new harpies.

And something for the harpy fans...

Wing Harpy and Harpy Knight will likely be a welcome relief for those who prefer their monster girls to be of a more vanilla persuasion (especially after Plansect and Mephisto’s School of Nope).

So which one shall we have fun with?  Wing harpy’s wings do look rather soft and fluffy.  Now just to persuade the rest of the party to take a short break…

Her wings are very fluffy and she wraps her legs tightly around our back to hold us in place for the sexy times fucking.  Harpy pussies are tight and hers gets tighter until she’s coaxed us into emptying out a full load.

Do not disturb - Intense baby-making in progress

According to harpy law that now makes us husband and waifu, and she flies Luka back to the Harpy Village for more intensive baby-making.  Together, we have an adorable daughter and raise a happy little family (as well as having wild harpy sex every night).

Wait.  Are we sure this is the Bad End?

Oh well, I guess someone else will have to save the world.

I guess that falls to canon!Luka of this dimensional plane/reality.  Sorry bud, no happy harpy families for you.

At the end of this very long slog through the Marching Hills (that name seems appropriate now), we are faced with one remaining giant golem girl.

Like Mud Golem, but 'ard

She’s been upgraded to a full-fledged boss fight this time around, which makes sense.  It also ends up being a relatively easy boss fight as golem makes the foolish mistake of grabbing Luka early in the fight.  Luka-bait cheese is a decent strategy against most bosses, especially if he’s in a job that gives bonuses to HP.  While the healer concentrates on keeping Luka alive through escalating pleasure attacks the other two members have free rein to hit the boss with everything they got.

(This is another ridiculous one to visualise – a giant golem girl attempting to use Luka as a dildo while being blasted with various magic attacks.  Oh, if only Monster Girl Quest had the budget of a Skyrim or Witcher 3.)

With golem girl’s defeat that means we’re through the Marching Hills.  But before we return to the world map, the action switches to happenings elsewhere.  We’re taken to a cutscene where the forces of the alliance (coalition, or whatever it is) are marching directly on the King of Grangold.

Who are you again?

I feel like the character sprite should be familiar, but I really don’t remember much from this section of the original Monster Girl Quest.  Didn’t the original Arachne Princess try to eat him at some point?

I think she’d struggle this time around.  Something is not right with the king.  He takes a lance right through the heart and doesn’t even flinch.

I don't think he's human anymore...

He responds by obliterating most of the opposing army with lightning.  After that he mumbles something about “the queen is calling” and that he “must get back”.

A future boss fight?

We’ll see when we enter Grangold’s central region and the capital itself.

H-space MGB Profile: Blue-Skinned Suckerboob

Name: Blue-Skinned Suckerboob
Type:  Amphibian
Habitat:  Wetlands.  Damp caves and tunnels.

Description:
An amphibian type of HSIO that looks like an attractive, voluptuous human woman with the skin of a frog.  Their skin colour—bright blue with mottled black blotches—makes it impossible to mistake them for a human being.  They secrete copious amounts of slime through their pores, which gives their skin a wet sheen as if they've covered themselves in oil.

They have other attributes that mark them out as non-human.  Instead of hair they have a membranous flap of skin that resembles a nun's wimple.  They have a short, stubby, wide tail that covers their ass.  Their hands and feet are webbed.

Attack Strategy:
The slime secreted by a blue-skinned suckerboob's skin contains several powerful psychotropic agents.  Exposure to it with naked skin will likely result in the subject being placed in a docile and highly suggestible state.  These substances can function as an aerosol if exposed to a concentrated dose, but the effect is much weaker than skin-to-skin contact.  In combat the suckerboob will attempt to bring as much of her body into contact with her opponent's exposed flesh and then wait for her psychotropic secretions to take effect and render her prey helpless.

Her 'mammary glands' are used for feeding and storage.  How she uses them depends on the sex of her prey.  For men, the suckerboob will suck his penis into her breast and stimulate them to ejaculation.  For women, the suckerboob will embrace them, wrap her nipple-mouths around their nipples and suck their milk.  The suckerboob's secretions also contain toxins that stimulate massive overproduction of either semen or milk, enough to empty her prey of all their bodily fluids.

(and soul?)

Countermeasures:
The psychotropic slime secreted by her skin is strong, but requires a degree of sustained skin contact in order to take effect.  Some people also appear to be immune to it, although as of yet we have not determined the cause of this.

Suckerboobs are still moderately dangerous without their mind-controlling slime.  Their appearance often catches men off guard.  They don't expect a voluptuous women of average height to be as fast, strong and agile as the suckerboobs are.  They can be challenging hand-to-hand opponents, and if they can get enough of a hold for their psychotropic secretions to take effect, they can win the fight in short order.

As with most earth amphibians, their main weakness is dry conditions.  Outside of a damp atmosphere their skin dries up.

(This is extremely painful to them and causes a great deal of discomfort.)

Threat Level:
Moderate.

Deceptively fast and agile, and with skin secretions that can render a person compliant and helpless if they come into contact with their flesh.

H-space MGB Story: Blue-Skinned Suckerboob

"Left boob or right boob?" the blue-skinned woman asked.

Now that was a difficult question.  PFC Stewart Peter Bate couldn't decide between them.  They were both lovely, both perfect.  Her breasts were plump, round, lusciously swollen.  Each was topped with a perky nub of a nipple surrounded by a ring of darker areole.  The girl pushed them together, accentuating the deep cleft between them.   Her cleavage looked soft... inviting.

Bate ran a nervous tongue over his lips.  His mouth felt dry.

They were big.  Stripper big.  Big-as-your-head big.  So big you could nuzzle your nose between them and sink so deep you'd never come up for air again.  And Bate was fine with that.  He wanted to feel that silky-smooth skin against his cheek, feel their soft fleshy pressure on either side of his face, feel her rubbery teat between his teeth as he flicked it with his tongue.

Oh fuck, was he so turned on right now.  It was a good job he was naked.  His pants wouldn't have been able to contain the boner he had right now.  His current boner would have burst right out of them, or snapped in half trying.

Hey, when did he get naked?

Bate's brow furrowed.  He felt there was something he should remember.  It was one of those nagging little doubts that floats around but you can never quite pin it down.  Like thinking there was something you'd forgot while buying groceries at a store.  It kept fluttering out of reach in the back of his skull, avoiding his efforts to grasp it.

Fuck it.  Probably wasn't that important anyway.  Now what was important—her boobs.

They floated before him—big, soft, enticing.  Bate wanted to reach out and grab them.  Feel their weight in his hands, squeeze them between his fingers.  It didn't matter that they were blue.  It was the shape.  Oh God, that shape.

Please God, Bate thought.  Just one squeeze.

He reached out with open hands.

The blue-skinned girl batted them away with a giggle.  Her other arm wrapped under her ample bosom and held her breasts together.  She swung them out of reach of Bate's clutching hands.

Tease.

She had big eyes with big black pupils that could swallow you up whole.  Such a friendly smile as well.  Bate wasn't used to that combination.  In the places he'd seen them, big round boobs like hers were usually accompanied by terse smiles and cold, hard eyes.  Grasping eyes.

The blue-skinned girl had such a friendly smile.  It made it easy to overlook the fact she had blue skin.  Or that she didn't have any hair.  Something hung down from the top and back of her head, but it looked like membranous flaps of skin.  It resembled a nun's wimple, except blue in color.  Blue like her skin, only darker.  There were strange blotches and patches of black skin visible on her naked body.  They kind of reminded Bate of the skin of a frog for some reason.  Her skin looked kind of moist like a frog as well.  Bate didn't mind that.  It looked like she'd slicked herself up with oil.  Slicked up her boobs so they were all shiny and glossy and oh fuck was Bate's boner so goddamn hard right now.

Bate was okay with her strange appearance.  She had a good reason.  She was an alien.

Oh yeah, right.  Bate remembered now.  He was on an alien planet.  It was so cool.

She was just your friendly blue-skinned alien babe.

That was right.  It was all chill. He and his buds hanging out with some sexy blue-skinned alien chicks.

Williams and Spann were standing over by the damp cave wall.  Crouched down between them with her back to Bate was another blue-skinned alien babe.  Her back was covered in blobby black squiggles.  Like someone had got blind drunk and tried to paint black lines down her back.  She had a tail—a wide, stubby flap of flesh that looked like a thick leather loincloth.  It covered the crack of her butt and most of the swell of her ass.  Bate thought this a shame.  From what he could see, she had a gorgeous peach of an ass.

From this angle it looked like she had a hand on Williams' and Spann's cocks and was alternating between blowing them.  Looked like it from Williams' and Spann's postures as well—muscles all tensed up, heads tipped back, eyes closed.

So lucky.

"My sister gets two because she's senior," the blue-skinned babe said.  "I could have had two as well, but he wasn't interested."

'He' was Sergeant Sullivan.  He was lying off to the side.  He wasn't interested because he wasn't feeling very well.  He was having a little lie down until he felt better.

Poor Sarge, missing out on all the fun, Bate thought.

Sarge's head lolled at a funny angle.  His tongue protruded from his open mouth.  He stared at nothing with glassy eyes.

The buzzing in the back of Bate's head grew louder.  He was sure there was something he was supposed to remember.  Man, it was really starting to bug him.

He jolted as the blue-skinned girl caressed his hip.  It was a pleasurable jolt.  Her touch felt amazing, even if he could see the webbing between her fingers.  She smiled at him coquettishly.

"You need to choose," she said.  "Right?  Or left?"

She lifted first her right boob, then her left.

It was a tough decision.

"Eeny, meeny, miney, mo..." Bate said, pointing at one lovely swollen globe and then the other.  "That one," he said as his finger ended up pointing at her left breast.

"This one?" the blue-skinned babe said.  She gave her left tit a squeeze with her webbed hand.

Bate nodded, a big shit-eating grin on his face.

She sidled up to him and rubbed her big soft boobs against his body as she lowered herself down to a crouch.  She looked at him with her big, moist eyes and pressed her left tit against Bate's rampant erection.  The pulpy soft flesh of her tit deformed as his iron-hard manhood pressed into it.  She wrapped a hand around the base of his cock and tugged on him while smothering the head of Bate's cock in her ample tit-flesh.

Big tits, so awesome, Bate thought.  Even if they were blue.  He reached down and fondled her other tit.

Still with her hand wrapped around the root of Bate's cock, the blue-skinned babe pulled her tit back.  The nipple inverted, became a rubbery ring rather than a nub.  The ring opened up to reveal a glistening tunnel of pink flesh.

The same happened with her other tit.  Bate was exploring the rubbery lip of the freshly opened orifice when his finger was drawn inside and sucked on as if a mouth had opened up in her tit.

Whoa.

Bate's brow wrinkled.  He'd never seen a tit do that before.

The blue-skinned babe caressed his butt cheek with a warm hand.  Bate looked down at the wet orifice that had opened up in her breast.  The pink interior contracted and dilated enticingly.  Bate was hit by a strong urge to put his cock inside.  He wanted to shove his dick into her tit so badly.

The blue-skinned babe put it in for him.  Still gripping the base of his cock, she pressed her boob forwards.  The dark blue ring of her nipple encircled the swollen head of Bate's cock.  She pushed her boob into Bate and he felt himself slowly sink into a tunnel of flesh.  Warm, tight, wet—just like teen pussy.  So much so that for a moment Bate thought he had sunk his dick into tight, wet pussy.  Then he looked down and saw his cock was buried up to the root in her big round tit.

That nagging buzzing started up again in the back of Bate's skull.

This wasn't the time for it, he thought, angrily shunting the nagging thoughts aside.

"Like that?" the blue-skinned babe asked.

Bate nodded.  "Tight," he grinned.

The soft flesh of her boob was packed all around Bate's cock.

"What if I do this?"

Her tit throbbed.  Bate felt the flesh move around him.  A tight ring contracted around the base of his cock and rolled up his shaft.  His cock was sucked deeper into her tit and squeezed by soft boobflesh.

Bate didn't answer.  His contented sigh was answer enough.

"Mmm, my big soft tit is going to suck out all your cum," the blue-skinned alien babe said.

He felt her other tit suck and pull on his finger.  He knew breasts weren't supposed to work this way.  They were supposed to be milked, not the other way around.  But it felt so goddamn good though.  Her big boob bulged and pulsed while inside a tight ring of flesh tugged up and down Bate's cock.

"Are you getting close?" the blue-skinned babe asked.  "You can let it out, if you like.  Just pour it all out inside my big soft boob."

She gave Bate's buttock a playful squeeze.  Her tit did the same to his cock.  Then she sucked him deeper.

"Ooh, you're close.  I can feel it," she said.

Bate's cock throbbed and twitched inside her.  Her boob tightened around it.  Its pulsations slowed down, became more deliberate.  A muscular ring of force ran up Bate's shaft.  Again.  Again.  Now squeezing the head of his cock before bunching back up around the root in preparation for the next long, squeezing stroke.

Bate couldn't hold on.  His body trembled.  His cock throbbed and spat a thick load of cum inside her boob.  That wasn't enough.  Her boob kept pulsing, kept squeezing, kept sucking another shot out of him.  Fuck, her tit was milking him.

"Yes, yes.  Pump it all out," she exhorted.

Yes, but who?  It felt more like her boob was pumping his cum out of him rather than him pumping it into her.  His ejaculation kept going and going, dragged out longer and longer by the pulsing suction of her tit.

Her boobs were amazing.  She was amazing.

Her friends were amazing as well.  Both Williams and Spann were still going—still twitching and coming—and they'd started way before Bate.

Hey, was Williams on a diet?  Bate didn't remember him looking this skinny.  Spann too.

The blue-skinned girl had a hand between each of Williams and Spann's butt cheeks.  She pushed a finger up, up into their anuses.  Both men jerked as if electrocuted.  And continued to slim right down before Bate's eyes.  Becoming skinny, then gaunt, then practically nothing more than skin and bones.  Williams collapsed to his knees with a rattling sigh.  Spann followed.  Both toppled backwards and ceased moving.

The blue-skinned alien girl stood up and turned around.  Her tits were no longer just big, they were monstrous—big wobbly blue balloons that sagged down almost to her waist.  They jiggled as if full of water.  And maybe something else.  The light was dim, but Bate would have sworn he saw the imprint of a hand pushing outwards.  Maybe the indentation of a face.

Bate couldn't ignore the buzzing in the back of his skull any longer.  He tried to pull away.  His blue-skinned babe grabbed his ass and held him tight.  Her fleshy tit clamped around his cock and sucked him back inside with a noisy squelch.

"Have you not finished yet?" the other blue girl asked.  "Others of their kind will be along soon."

"Give me a moment."

Her eyes were almost apologetic as she looked up at Bate.  Her index finger slipped between his butt cheeks, found his anus, and then pushed up inside.  His shock at the intrusion was short-lived.  The blue-skinned babe found a secret place within his ass and pressed.  A flood of white pleasure drowned Bate.  With her finger pressed up against Bate's prostate gland, she made her boob pulse faster and stronger around Bate's cock.  His ejaculation became a gush.  He rose up on his toes and groaned as he emptied his balls—his everything—into her pulsating tit.

Then, spent in one single white-bright moment of overwhelming ecstasy, he toppled over backwards and expired.

The blue-skinned girl rubbed a hand over a breast grown bloated to five or more times larger than its pair.  She stood up and shared a passionate kiss on the lips with the other girl.  They were joined by a third, also with monstrously large—full—blue breasts.  Together, the trio snuck away back to their secret waterways.

Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 24: Great Poison Swamp

<- Previous: Goddard

At the moment we’re chaining our way through various contacts as we look for ways to bypass the various defences of Grandgold.  Alma Elma got us through Gold Fort.  Nero gave us a device to switch fast travel back on and also pointed us on in the direction of the next link in the quest chain.  I have no idea who our surprise contact is this time, but we need them to get us past the golem army guarding the route through the marching hills, and they’re currently hiding out in the Great Poison Swamp.

The Great Poison Swamp is a big purple lake just north of Goddard.  The entrance to the location can be found here, on the south shore:

The swamp is big, but this is the only entrance

As with everywhere else they’ve been encountered, the purple tiles are poison swamp tiles and do damage every time they’re walked over.  This damage isn’t particularly high and can’t even kill a character as it stops once the character reaches 1 HP.  You might want to keep at least one eye on it as it would be slightly awkward to get ambushed in the middle of the swamp and then find out your whole team is starting the battle on 1 HP.

Also in keeping with the rest of MQ:P part 2, a new location means all brand new monster girls.  Three of them, to be exact.

The ghoul girls are another wolf-pack encounter, as they come as a trio and are recruited as a trio.

Lost ghoul gals - looking for a loving home

They seem to be upgraded versions of the zombie girls.  Personally, I’ve never seen the sex appeal in rotting zombie girls, but given some of the other things I write about, it would be rather lacking in self-awareness on my part to get all critical about it.  I’m sure there are plenty of necromantics out there who’d love to give these poor girls a loving home.

I’m less sure on the warmer.

Technically an undead girl, I think

She’s another, specialised, type of undead.  She was revealed as a new encounter way in advance of part 2 coming out, so anyone following the game’s development will remember her, as well as her rather unusual Bad End.

Probably best not to think too hard about what's happening here...

Um, yeah.  Apparently it does make Luka come a lot before he suffocates to death.

Rather amusingly, both undead recruits have additional lines of dialogue with Chrome back in the pocket castle.  Warmer disapproves of Chome’s rather poor hygiene while the ghoul girl squad responds to Chrome’s outpourings of admiration by trying to eat her.

The third new encounter is brom girl.

The slime girls are toxic...

She’s a type of slime girls that’s extremely poisonous.  Her Bad End is to dunk Luka in her gelatinous body and wrap his genitals up in poison slime.

Splodge, splodge, splodge...

Again I feel ‘poisonous’ might have a different meaning in MGQ-verse as the effect of smothering Luka’s sex organs in ‘poison’ slime is to cause him to fill her jelly body with tons of spunk.

(I’m not one to talk.  I wrote most H-space toxins to behave this way because... fun.)

But that’s enough poison jelly baths and heads inserted in places heads shouldn’t be inserted.  We should at least try and find our contact.

It’s Mephisto.  You can find her on a ridge of stone rising up out of the marsh somewhere to the north.

Why the fuck are you hiding out here, Mephisto?

This also raises some questions.  Such as: Why did you make us trudge all the way through this toxic swamp when you could have just as easily joined the party back in Grand Noah?  We could have avoided all this dicks-dipped-in-poison-slime and heads-inserted-in-places-heads-should-not-go unpleasantness altogether.

“I have a nice bath prepared for you at the castle where I’ll splodge all my lovely tingly venom into your cock.”

“Shh, now is not the time, brom girl.”

Mephisto might not be trustworthy in the slightest, but she tells us she can get us past the golem army blocking the way through the Marching Hills.

This, I guess, is also where we officially get to recruit her to the ‘harem’.  Talking to her in the pocket castle reveals an additional menu option.

Mephisto has two forms – mage with tentacles, or giant demon lamia.  Selecting the new option allows her to switch between forms.  Functionally, she seems to be two characters in one as she has a different trait and request moves depending on which form she’s in.

The giant lamia request move is similar to her Bad End.  I don’t think we need to see that one again.

Her mage request option features a brand new H-scene where Mephisto takes Luka to her school, binds him to a desk with magic, and then lets her pupils use him for... um... educational purposes.

Taking up Mephisto's offer of additional tuition might have been a mistake...

There is a fish girl (sahuagin), alraune and fairy.  All three are fully devoted to their ‘education.’

Yup, probably a mistake... (you don't want to know what she does with the other stem)

After a few extracurricular lessons, it’s time to continue on our journey and find out what Mephisto can do about those pesky golems blocking the way to Grangold (the city).

-> Next: Marching Hills

Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 23: Goddard

<- Previous: Gold Fort

We are in Grangold territory, thanks to help from Alma Elma.

Unfortunately, we no longer have the queen succubus in the party as she went off to fight Astaroth and Morrigan in order to buy us time to escape.  We also appear to not be able to use Harpy Feathers, Warp spells or even summon the pocket castle while we’re here as the country is covered by some kind of anti-magic field.  No fast travel for us then.

The monster girls roaming these parts are a mix of old and new.  The basic scyllas and medusas from the original series make a return.  They were always in the category of okay, but forgettable on the ecchi scale if I remember right.

What would you like wound around your dick...

The new girl looks like some sort of butterfly girl and – on the surface – seems moderately less terrifying than the other insect girls we’ve come across so far.

Some sweet butterfly girls

Her Bad End is to grab Luka from behind, wrap her wings around him and then insert her proboscis down Luka’s urethra to get a good suck of his “nectar”.  Where this proboscis comes from I’m not entirely sure.  I think it might be her mouth.

Luka, the human milkshake.

It feels really good and Luka comes again and again until butterfly girl has sucked up the entire contents of his balls.  Beyond the End is a not so Bad End as she decides she likes the taste so much she’s going to keep Luka.  He doesn’t mind too much as he gets to experience ecstasy once a day when she syphons off his sperm.

Our target destination, where our next contact is waiting, is the nearby village of Goddard, which is fairly easy to find as it’s right next to the Gold Fort here:

The village of Goddard

There’s not much of interest in Goddard as it’s under the influence of the powerful ‘lust’ field smothering the whole country.  Everyone is horny and babbling on about how much they love the queen.  Everyone’s behaving like gender-flipped fans of [Goes to insert name of popular boy band, realises said boy band are about 20 years old and haven’t been a thing since the ‘90s.  Tries to think of modern equivalent.  Realises he can’t because all he listens to is Black and Death Metal.  Is Justin Bieber still a thing?  Feels horribly old and fuddy duddy.  Fuck it, let’s bail on this analogy right here and pretend we never made it.]  Everyone’s incomprehensibly stupid, so there isn’t much in the way of background info that can be gleaned.

There are two merchants that will sell stuff (in between babbling about how much they love the queen).  The blacksmith is too blissed out to do anything.  There is a battlefucker, but she’s locked herself in her house and won’t let anyone come in.  Rather interestingly, there are a couple of rafflesia flowers planted outside her house.  Is this what she’s using to counteract the malign lust cloud infecting everyone?

Even the battle fucker is scared to come out.

Something for later.  For know the only thing we can do is follow the main quest strand.  That involves going to the pub (always a good start).

We're not here for drinking...

Speaking to the barman and selecting the 2nd option (which I believe is ordering chicken dinner, which is obviously some sort of code as the place doesn’t serve food).

Or chicken dinner...

And then going upstairs to meet our contact.  Who is...

Or Nero... hey, wait.  What's he doing here?

...not Nero.

Nero is here, but he’s not actually supposed to be the contact.  The contact is currently over in the corner after Nero neutralised him with some kind of Taoist seal.  The contact was also under the spell of the lust cloud and wouldn’t have been any use anyway.

In game terms, Nero is technically our contact, as you need to speak to him in order to advance the storyline.  It’s also useful to talk to him as he gives us a useful device that negates the jamming field preventing fast travel (and pocket castle access) within Grangold.

He also gives us the information on where to go next.  The way to the capital is through the Marching Hills to the north.  Currently that way is blocked by a large force of golems.  We need to go to the Great Poison Swamp first and meet yet another contact, who’ll be able to get us past the golem army.

Seems straightforward enough.  Off to the Great Poison Swamp we go.

Succubus Summoning Art - Nÿte by RaidouZERO

Some more lovely Succubus Summoning art by RaidouZERO.  This piece is of Nÿte.

I'm not sure if that's one of her prized skulls or a fresh victim about to be dropped onto her pile of "trash" skulls.  I like how her head wings seem natural and seem to fit in this picture.  I usually advise artists to leave them off, but they work with this style.

Here is RaidouZERO's original version on DeviantArt (where he also has links to some alternate versions with slightly different horns).  He's also done some lovely pictures of Nurse Honey and Verdé.

Thank you to Jude Duval/LudedWolf for commissioning the piece and RaidouZERO for creating it.

Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 22: Gold Fort

<- Previous: The Ruins of Lima

We have the heavenly knight and succubus queen Alma Elma in the party.  As much as there’s a temptation to lock ourselves in a bedroom with her all day, we have a world to save.  The armies guarding the gate of Gold Fort have been lured away by a decoy attack, so this represents a perfect opportunity to sneak behind enemy lines and work out what the hell is going on in Grangold.

There is still a guard on the gate, but he’s a man and Alma Elma is a queen succubus.  The guard and Alma Elma vanish into the bushes over on the right and… well, you can guess what happens.

He never stood a chance...

She doesn’t kill him, though.  Alice checks on that when Alma Elma returns.  I have a party of killer, man(and monster girl)-eating blobs that have been devouring their way across the countryside, but Alice is concerned about a random guard.  It’s rather cute.

(Although it’s possible “devouring” works differently here.  Digestive juices count as pleasure damage and it is still possible to recruit a monster girl after “eating” her.  So who knows how things work in MGQ-verse.)

In the castle, Alma Elma departs from the main party as she takes care of the remaining garrison.  By “take care” we mean put everyone in a blissful post-orgasmic stupor in the blink of an eye.

They never stood a chance...

Everyone human, that is.  Alma Elma warns us when she gets back that there are a number of automata and ant girls roaming around that she was unable to affect.  Those form our random encounters for this location.  Two of them are the ant girls and automata girls we already fought in Lima.  They are joined by a brand new type of monster girl – Paizuri Doll.

Aw, adorable lickle titty dolls

Paizuri’s Doll speciality – unsurprisingly – is her large breasts.  Her temptation move is to bind Luka with her long blonde hair and drag him close enough to wedge his cock between her massive boobies.  She’s not very talkative, but her boobs are extremely expressive as she squeezes and rubs until we inevitably pop.

Titty Doll used Boobs.  It was super effective.

Her Bad End continues right from where she left off.  She keeps plumping those big soft boobs against our cock until copious amounts of white stuff are leaking out of her cleavage.  Eventually Luka loses consciousness from all his exertions.

Despite not being devoured or drained to a dried fish, it’s still an End for Luka.  The experience has left him so depraved, all he wants to do is go challenge titty dolls (and lose) over and over.

Gold Fort is a relatively small dungeon.  You can find Ilias imprisoned in a room on the righthand side.  She is still only accompanied by her loyal slimo and doggo.

You can recruit 4 party members you know, Ilias.  That might help prevent this from happening.

There is some good armour and a decent sword in the chests, but it’s no big deal if you miss it as any gear in this game is usually outclassed by whatever’s available in the next town or city.

The major lore/plot location is the general’s room on the second floor.  We find the general lying dead on the floor.

He definitely never had a chance!

At first Alice asks Alma Elma if she went too far, but it turns out the general has been dead for a couple of days.  You can find his diary at the back of the room.  From his entries it’s pretty clear he’d been brainwashed by the queen (and maybe daughter) back in the capital.  This brainwashing was wearing off with distance from Grangold, but before he could break free of it entirely, someone came along and offed him.

As for who offed him, a couple of likely candidates show up right as we leave Gold Fort through the North Gate.

They might - ulp! - stand a chance...

Morrigan and Astaroth.  I guess this means we’ll be losing Alma Elma here.

Sure enough, she detaches from the party to take on the two Lilith sisters and cover our escape.  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

She’s done her job.  We’re through the Gold Fort and inside Grangold territory.  What delights await us here?
