"Are you serious about this shit?" asked Isabelle.
"Yes," said Lucien as he lay there on the cavern floor beside some lava quite naked and afraid. "If you don't go find that dastardly [adventurer] and [kill] them soon, I'm going to [die], and the [adventurer] will get all my awesome [loot], and you'll all [die] with [me]!"
"That's a giant load of bullshit," said Isabelle dismissively as she sat down beside Lucien on the hot floor and examined him with a critical eye. There was certainly something different about him now. His skin had completely hardened and become hard and leathery in addition to it being lighter in color too, but overall he looked much better than when they first woke up in here. She couldn't help but feel somewhat disgusted by him as she glanced down at his rather large penis sticking straight out from his crotch which looked like it was about to fall off due to its size now. "Why do you even have a dick? You're a 'core' right? Isn't your body supposed to be like, super magical and powerful?"
"[Life] is [strange]..." said Lucien. "Ack! Ow! Ow ow oww! Please hurry, I'm taking [damage]!"
"Well, let's wait a second here," said Isabelle. "Did you just say that the adventurer will get a lot of awesome loot from you when they kill your core or whatever?"
"Erm... yes?" said Lucien in a huff.
"But, isn't this adventurer also in the cave system? I mean, well, they'd have to be, wouldn't they? Which would mean that, what it doesn't matter whether they loot you or not, because they'll die when you die? I mean, that is how it works, right, Lucien?"
"Yes!"
"Well then, see, I don't understand why this adventurer would attack your core because if they already knew that it had so much loot they'd also know that killing it would be a death sentence, right?"
"What are you getting at [here]?" groaned Lucien.
"I'm saying: why would this adventurer attack your core that has so many riches if they were aware that they would die if they killed it?" asked Isabelle with a smirk on her face as she traced her finger around her now-hard nipple. "It just, well, it seems to me that this whole thing is really stupid."
Lucien's eyes widened in fear as he looked at Isabelle's finger dip into her cleavage and trace circles around her hardened nipple. He was still naked after all, but she could have easily been wearing anything or nothing at all for all he knew. And it wasn't like he could really do anything about it anyway in his current condition; he was stuck on the floor and had to keep his head tilted back in order to breathe comfortably because of how low the air pressure was.
"I'm confused," said Tahsi Junior. "Why are you touching yourself like that, Isabelle?"
"It's none of your business, Tahsi Junior," hissed Isabelle.
"I'm also confused," said Shiach. "Why aren't you touching me like that, Isabelle?"
"Because we're friends and we can touch each other without having sex between us like horny people who want to get laid, Shiach," replied Isabelle as she continued to play with herself while ignoring Tahsi Junior entirely. "Anyway, there's no way an adventurer is going to kill us by killing the core and consequently killing Lucien."
Lucien's eyes lit up. "So you're going to [help] me?" "Think again, bitch boy," said Isabelle.
Her eyes started to glow a hot purple color as she felt the powers of shadow magic course through her veins. Isabelle began to cackle as she stood up and walked over towards Lucien who was sitting on the ground and staring at her with wide eyes. "You made the mistake of thinking that I'd actually help you out of your predicament... but instead I'm going to laugh in your face as you die!"
With that Isabelle reached down and grabbed onto Lucien by both sides of his neck and lifted him up off the ground until his feet were dangling above the ground. She then brought him closer to her face where she planted a deep kiss on his lips before grabbing onto his cock and squeezing it entirely too hard. Lucien screamed out in pain as he writhed in agony beneath her grip. Isabelle let go of him though once she had gotten her fill of kissing him while squeezing his cock and balls together as tight as she could possibly get them. Isabelle then turned away from Lucien and walked back over towards Tahsi Junior and Shiach who were sitting on their behinds staring at her with wide eyes.
"You see this asshole here?" asked Isabelle as she pointed directly at Lucien who was still lying on the ground in pain while clutching onto his wounded genitalia. "He thinks I'll help him out of his little predicament, but he's wrong."
Isabelle then looked back at Tahsi Junior and Shiach Junior who were still sitting on their ass watching her and nodded her head to them. Both of them stared at each other for a few seconds before they both nodded their heads in agreement with Isabelle's words and stood up from where they had been sitting on their ass.
Isabelle laughed again and focused her mind, feeling pure intention flow through the crown of her head and up to her fingertips. This was the power of magic v2, or whatever the hell the system had called it, and it felt great. It felt like ecstasy. Isabelle's body shimmered as she felt the power course from the top of her head all the way through her arms and legs and finally outwards towards Lucien who was still lying on the ground screaming in pain while clutching onto his genitals.
"Bye bye, motherfucker," said Isabelle. She pointed a finger at Lucien and watched as purple lightning rattled out from her fingertip and electrocuted Lucien over and over again. Every time he was shocked he cried out in pain which only made Isabelle laugh harder than ever before until she finally stopped and simply watched as Lucien lay there twitching for several minutes while his lifeblood slowly pumped out of him due to numerous burns all over his skin caused by multiple sets of powerful electric shocks from Isabelle's magic spell. Eventually, Lucien twitched one last time and then went limp and fell back on the floor, dead.

"Um, Isabelle, what the fuck was that?" asked Tahsi Junior. "Now we're going to die here in the dungeon! He was our guide! We're not going to be able to find our way out of here without him!"
"Oh please, Tahsi Junior," said Isabelle as she stood up straight from where she was kneeling next to the body of Lucien who was now cold as a corpse. "You really believed that fucking bullshit sob story he told us? Did you seriously think that that human embodiment of a treasure chest in a cave had anything but his own interests at heart? The asshole probably wanted to lure us somewhere and kill us! Plus, why would an adventurer slay him for his loot if slaying him would kill the adventurer? Do you see what I'm saying? He was lying to us! His story didn't add up! It wasn't about helping us, it was about helping himself and saving his ass from his own stupid fucking choices. But hey, don't worry, Shiach and I will get you through this dungeon okay."
Isabelle then walked over towards Tahsi Junior who was still standing there dumbfounded while staring at Lucien's corpse. When Isabelle
got close enough Tahshi Junior gasped aloud when he noticed that her eyes were still glowing with the power of shadow magic. Isabelle reached down and took hold onto Tahshi Junior's head scales with both hands before pulling his head backwards so that his face was right next to hers as well as close enough that Tahshi Junior could feel her breath on his face. Isabelle then leaned forward so that her lips were almost touching Tahshi Junior's ear which made him gasp aloud once again because Isabelle's lips were already curling upwards into a smile which meant that she was extremely close to biting down on Tahshi Junior's earlobe if he didn't speak up quickly enough to stop her.
"We can do this," said Isabelle sweetly as she breathed hot breaths into Tahshi Junior's ear. "Just don't fucking run off and invite any creepy strangers to join us ever again or I'll disembowel you, okay? And don't call me 'Princess' ever again either or I'll cut your dick off and feed it to you!"
Tahshi Junior gulped loudly at these words of warning before he nodded quickly in agreement with Isabelle's words as well as her threats. He'd thought she'd forgotten about him jokingly calling her princess!
"Can I still call you Princess, Isabelle?" asked Shiach with a twinkle in her eye.
"No you may not!" replied Isabelle with a loud growl. "Well... okay, how about, you can call me Princess, but only when we're having sex."
"Oooooohhhhhhh God!" exclaimed Tahshi Junior as he shuddered.
"Shut the fuck up, Tahsi Junior! Did you forget what I said about your own penis being on the menu?" spat Isabelle.
"Isabelle, can I also call you Princess when we're cuddling?" asked Shiach.
"Sure, whatever," said Isabelle with a sigh. "But don't expect me to suck your tits afterwards because I'm not doing that shit anymore. Well, unless I want to, I guess. Fickle are the ways of a woman, or whatever."
Shiach giggled at this as she turned away from Isabelle as if she was embarrassed by this response from Isabelle. "Are we ready to move on from this place yet?"
"Sure thing," said Isabelle with a smile. And then, a frown. "Ah, shit."
Both of the passageways had been blocked off by the quake that had now finished passing through the cavern. Essentially, they were trapped in this level of the cavern, and they were surrounded by lava. It was not necessarily a great situation to be in. But they couldn't just sit around and wait for something to happen; they needed to do something about getting out of this area of the dungeon.
"I have an idea," said Isabelle. She looked down at Lucien's body.
[Loot 'Lucien'?]
"What's your idea, Isabelle?" asked Tahsi Junior.
"I'm going to loot Lucien," she said. "I'm sure he has something in his inventory that might be able to help us out of this mess we find ourselves in."

Of course, Isabelle was taking all of that shit. But once she did, she needed to learn more about a lot of these items. Lucien seemed like a bit of a horny little shit after seeing what all loot he’d been carrying around.

Now it was time for Isabelle to learn more. She focused first on the Incense of Insensitivity.
Item: Incense of Insensitivity
Traits: +69 str, +0.5 carry weight
Description: This incense user (the higher their resistance is to pain and negative emotions, the greater the potency). The effect lasts for three hours regardless of who uses the incense first or last during the duration of its use. This incense does not negate other magical effects including damage immunity via dispel magic spells or immunities granted from items such as Magic Items or Gauntlets of Constitution or wands (such as wands of Protection), nor does it nullify any magical effects that specifically target negative emotions such as Charm Person spells that target enemies with low morale or poisons that target enemies with low morale. Effectiveness against undead is negated by this incense due to their nature as undead entities but does not negate their immunity to damage via dispel magic and elemental damage via fire spells and elemental damage via lightning spells.
Nice. Now Isabelle needed to learn more about the Cloak of Confusingness!
Item: Cloak of Confusingness
Traits: +20 confuse, +3 carry weight
Description: This cloak apparently confuses opponents for a short period of time each day upon use reducing their ability to see and hear foes in front of them for up to two minutes per dose consumed by the user (or until they take damage). This cloak may be used repeatedly without adverse effects but wearing the cloak while using it makes it ineffective for five minutes unless removed prior to using it again. A maximum of ten doses may be applied to an opponent per duration of effect before it becomes ineffective for five minutes; each dose has a moderate chance to cause confusion instead of making foes unable to see or hear foes in front of them for two minutes each dose consumed by the user. The potency of this cloak is affected by its effect upon the user (the higher their resistance to confusion and other confusing effects, the greater the potency). The effect lasts for two hours regardless of who uses the cloak first or last during the duration of its use. This cloak does not negate other magical effects including damage immunity via dispel magic spells or immunities granted from items such as Magic Items or Gauntlets of Constitution or wands (such as wands of Confusion), nor does it nullify any magical effects that specifically target confusion such as charms or disorientation spells. Effectiveness against undead is negated by this cloak due to their nature as undead entities but does not negate their immunity to confusion via dispel magic and elemental damage via lightning spells and elemental damage via shock spells.
Isabelle thought that the description for the cloak of confusingness was very, well, confusing, but that made sense when she thought about it. It was probably meant for people who didn't really understand what it did, so describing what it did was beyond them, even though there were plenty of words in there that described exactly what it did: confuse opponents in front of you for a short period each day. With that settled, Isabelle focused on the brass dildo of sphincter stretching!
Item: Brass Dildo of Sphincter Stretching
Traits: +25 const, +1 carry weight
Description: This brass dildo is shaped like a phallus and is used to stretch one's anus during training and preparation for anal penetration by a larger object, such as a man's penis (it should be noted that it can also be used as a dildo if one so desires). While used properly, this item will give constant relief to one's sphincter upon use and its durability will only increase over time. If used improperly, however, it will make an enemy's digestive system go into convulsions which can result in severe diarrhea (which will not stop if one stops using it and may even pass out from dehydration) and must be manually extracted from one's rectum after leaving one's body through one's anus. This item cannot be stored inside another item and cannot be thrown away. The potency of this item is affected by its effect upon the user (the higher their resistance to illness and diarrhea, the greater the potency). The effect lasts for as long as you can hold it tightly in your anus without too much discomfort but only if you have no resistance to illness and diarrhea. It can be thrown away after use with no ill effects. Effectiveness against undead is negated by this item due to their nature as undead entities but does not negate their immunity to illness and diarrhea via dispel magic and elemental damage via earth spells and elemental damage via lightning spells.
It was still funny how Isabelle had never even considered that someone would use something like this—a dildo created with such an obvious purpose in mind—for anything other than what it was intended for! Then again, it did give a pretty hefty const bonus. Isabelle considered that it might be a good idea to equip this dildo into her asshole and just live with it for as long as she could bear in order to get the stat bonus. Then again, maybe there were some better offerings to consider in all the other loot she’d found, first. Weren’t there some anal beads in the loot, too? Maybe those would be better, Isabelle could imagine it would be a little easier to keep anal beads up her butt all the time than an enormous brass dildo. Isabelle just shrugged at that thought. It was bound to be a little uncomfortable regardless, but once again, those stat bonuses were just too tempting to ignore! Yes, it was seeming clear, something was going to have to end up going up her butt. The real question was what.
Isabelle considered her options carefully. Really, though, she needed to look at the rest of her loot, and fast, because they were trapped unless she thought of something. Maybe the Potion of Giant Floating Brain Intellect would give her a clue. Instead of looking at its description, Isabelle decided to just go ahead and drink it.

Isabelle gasped.
