Welcome, welcome to another rendition of our dear Ophi’s Quest. Last time we got into a bit of a scuffle with some clergy and decided that vehicular homicide was just the coolest. Unfortunately, the priest decided to flee the scene instead of promptly being defeated and turned to our side. Then a wonderfully purple Bleu decided to strike back. 

That would be a great idea, if not for the fact that my fancy monitor is showing that Lupin’s ship is at a whopping negative one health. Which is somewhat admirable honestly, but I doubt it’s got the integrity to actually remain in one piece if anything actually touches it.

Cute, but we thankfully have mechanics that just unload crew when vessels are destroyed. The Mushminions and Leaflings-

-and Lupin took some hits but made it out. However, the ship is absolutely mission-dead, and I’m honestly not sure it will be possible to repair it.

Now, do I need to fetch the lore encyclopedia, or can one of you handle the exposition about why the hell we have a purple creature in rage attacking us?

Awesome, I’m going to go get coffee.

Arcing through the air, a swarm of stinging bolts of pent-up kinetic force rain down.

 Bound to mortal vessels of wood and steel, these arrows of justice carry down the wish to just finish the mission. Bleu endures the volley, bolts bouncing away and leaving behind…. nothing?

From behind, we see skeletons! Without a steel chair, but maybe that’s enough. Meanwhile, let’s load up those ideas from our readers.

With a gesture and a flick, a crown connection to our beloved engineer and wizard Elgor crackles to life.

The connection goes quiet, save for the sound of flying sparks and muttered incantations. 

With a surge of feral strength the wolfgirl pounces towards our foe. Surrounded by her thralls and supported by her adoring supporters, she lunges for the throat.

Deep within Bleu’s chest, a rumble of rage echoes out. Bone boys break and stumble as strikes ring out. Each blow pushing Mordred back, forcing her to lose ground.

Waves of ice crash across the battlefield as Hana weaves in and out of battle. Breath fogs from the chill of her blows, yet nothing seems to stick. Damage numbers are an order of magnitude smaller than they should be. Small chips, on a health bar measured in miles. From the back, rows of archer minions loose arrow after arrow.

A roar echoes as Mordred is yet again defeated. Her death shield sundered, her hp drained. Her will…. still going strong but not very relevant.

Sweet mother of pearl. I am actually terrified. If he messed up, that could have made short work of evicting me….

Like a shooting star, a wooden crate quickly becomes apparent in the sky.

With a final spark of desperate mana, Sapphire unleashes her last spell. Shocked, confused, and stunned, Bleu is finally open for our play.

Rather like a deflating balloon, the excess flesh grown by the overwhelming lust retreats. 

Leaving behind over-sensitive and worn-out mouse flesh. Bleu, is back to normal and defeated.

A sudden stillness warps the air. A thousand held breaths as the battle ends. Terror of civilians steel their breath, and our units can only rest from relentless battle. I can hear a penny drop, but that’s cause I’m the narrator. A normal person could probably only hear a quarter drop.

Throughout the town, cheers of mushies rise in chorus. Their fungal voices joined in jubilation and victory.

We still have 1 unit of ninja in our loot sheet. She’s probably tied up somewhere. I’ll have the minions handle it between chapters. We haven’t lost our potential fun time with the cute shinobi~

… And she’s gone. Well pray for the local baked goods, they don’t stand a chance.

Well, they say all’s well that ends well, but what do we say when it’s not the end? Mere a momentary break before the next battle begins. Next time, we will establish Law and Order-

-erm. Feel free to send us your suggestions on laws, enforcement and governance structures. Our goals are, as they ever were, a greater military force, a greater generation of Lust, and defense of the tower.  How we accomplish them will establish the foundation we need for many campaigns to come. We dare not skip it, for that would spell ruin to us all.

hello everyone, this is Ophi’s Quest creator and artist, Carnivate here. I would like to thank all our viewers who have been following this project for a long time. finally, we got to the end of our first arc, a little adventure that started like… 4 years ago. 

This one was planned to be a fast tutorial island, but took a lot more detail and complexity than i expected. saying that it’s possible that for the next arc or episodes, i may try some more faster ways to deliver content. maybe weekly comic pages or some other method. i still want to maintain the entry mechanic of viewers sending actions and interfering heavily with our story, but this needs to be planned with more attention.

This post took 3 months and a half to make, planning, animating, and rendering art takes a lot of work but i still want to find a better way to deliver it. next step is to plan our “civilization culture” arc, where we get back to the tower and finish unsolved things, our characters will finally solve some personal stories and you the viewer will decide how we will rule our land.

Stay tuned we have tons of amazing stuff planned next, and thank you a lot for the support 🙂
