The God beneath the Mountain
The Mighty Nine had arrived at Rumblecusp after negotiating a peace treaty between nations. The trip was wraught with minor setbacks. A culty assassination attempt on Fjord and incurring the wrath of their second ancient dragon later, the Nine decided leaving their crew on the beach with their ship would be a fine idea.
Rumblecusp however was not as uninhabited as first planned and the Nine were saved by two citizens of Vo. The local inhabitants seemed a little off. With the island seemingly being a wild miasma of planar disturbances and exotic wildlife they had decided to ask the local "deity" for permission to hold Travelercon there.
The local spiritual guide decided to tag along on their trip into the mountain itself to speak with the avatar of Vokodo. Viridian was a half elven woman. Higly in tune with the natural world, albeit a bit scatter brained. But that could be said about the entire village. Her most prominent feature had to have been her left leg. Instead of a leg, everything down from her hip was a tangle of vines and leaves. Sturdy enough to stand on and walk on.
The trip towards the mountain was intense and for certain party members quite harrowing. Caduceus fell into a tar pit like hole twice, only to be greeted by razor sharp mandibles both times. When Jester unwillingly dipped her feet inside one she was only greeted with brackish water.
Finally arriving at the mountain after screwing around with some Will O' Wisps and a Spectre the Nine and Viridian dove down in the water like substance. Which was not quite water. Finally entering the "throne room" of Vokodo's Avatar they were greeted with an empty room. Only a voice.
"Present your offerings to the might of Vokodo" the voice boomed.
Most party members offered paltry sums of gold or even platinum. However Fjord presented his divine Star Razor. His offering quickly accepted he was thrust out of the room with great force. Caleb and Cad offered something precious to him as well and met the same fate. Seemingly pleasing the God Beneath the Mountain.
The girls met a different fate. Beau actively threatened Vokodo for showing interest in her bracers. Yasha wasn't sure what she had that would please a God. Her God had only shown interest in her martial skills and therefore she didn't quite grasp the meaning of tithing. Veth tried to appease the now visible writhing mass of tentacles by throwing anything she considered of minor worth at Vokodo.
The water temperature started rising. Jester was frantically searching for a suitable tithe but couldn't produce one in time. A mass of tendrils shot out from the main corporeal mass that was Vokodo. Given their past experiences with anything viney or tentacly the girls knew they were in for another round of their favourite torture.
Veth being new to this didn't quite understand. Neither did Viridian. She also got scooped up.
"I will claim an offering in whichever way I can. The only thing I can appreciate as much as shinies is mirth."
Yasha felt the tendrils crawl around and behind her knees. A known weakness to herself and the other girls. She was quickly reduced to weirdly girly giggles. Other vines snaked around at the nape of her neck and at her back. Yasha seemed to have the weirdest tickle spots and this entity knew exactly where to find them.
Jester immediatly felt her dress getting torn into by some rather jagged tentacles to expose her sides and armpits. Her boots also removed she knew very well that a three way assault was the way to get her to produce the loudest and cutest laughter.
Beau tried her hardest to keep her mind clear from their previous encounters with these kind of enemies but immediatly broke down when two very brush like vines stroked at her exposed hip bones.
Veth looked wildly confused at the whole ordeal untill also she felt vines explore her "new" body. As a goblin she was used to not getting touched. As a halfling however people tended to touch her a bit more often. The vines and tentacles attacking her were a lot more studious. Veth didn't have too many memories of being tickled and therefore Vokodo couldn't find a particular bad spot to home in on.
Viridian was also confused. Vokodo had never actively attacked anyone before. But then again, she always made sure to give all she had to the God. Weird sparks of recollection appeared in her mind. Of a man with longer hair goosing her sides. Of herself tickling a young redheaded girl. Of a city in the clouds. This spark quickly faded when the tentacles mimicked the goosing sensation. Her right foot also getting the needed attention sent her screaming with laughter. Her foot was still quite soft because her druidic talents kept her off her feet most of the time.
Jester was loudly squealing with laughter as tiny tendrils snaked inbetween her toes. Other tendrils jabbed at her bellybutton and larger tentacles were broadly sweeping at her sides and soles of her feet.
Yasha was now howling with loud laughter as the tentacles added some more conventional places on top of her weird tickle spots. The tendrils at her armpits were doing the most damage to her resolve. And suddenly nothing. Yasha fell down, still reeling and giggling from the overwhelming sensations.
Beau was in her usual outstretched form. Her body was getting quite used to this position because this is how she was held most of the times during these ordeals. From her outstretched abs to her very exposed armpits, nothing compared to the constant hand like squeezing at her hips. Beau had given up on holding in her laughter a while back and also she was suddenly dropped.
Vokodo had finally found a bad spot on Veth. Already giggling all the way through the exploration, Veth reached her peak when the tendrils held back her toes and explored the soft insteps. And just like Yasha and Beau, Veth fell down.
Viridian was now held aloft in a y shape. Moving on from her sides the tentacles explored upwards and inwards toward her armpits and belly. Small tendrils stroking at the edge of her bellybutton drove the druid mad. Small arcane scribbles being performed by the tentacles at her armpits sparked more visions from the past. And then she also fell.
Now only Jester was still hanging. Now upside down. Her skirt fell over her upper body, exposing her blue legs and feet. Tendrils which split into even smaller tendrils laid atop her bare soles and just slithered all across her arches and toes. The tentacles exploring more downtowards her legs and eventually waist seemingly got the desired result as aso she fell down to the floor.
"I accept your offering."
All five girls were launched out of the subteranean cave just like the guys were many minutes earlier.
'Did that thing just tickle us ?" Veth screamed out. Beau and Jester both slapped their foreheads. Of course Veth would be the one to break the silence on their ticklish tribulations over the past few months. Viridian just sat silently. Contemplating the weird visions she had during her ordeal. Questioning her actual past.
The guys were amazed at the tales the girls eventually imparted on them. Of their experiences during a few of their former adventures. Of the weird method of torture they now had all undergone.
And once again, Jester heard a slight chuckle at the back of her mind.
"Almost there Jessie. Almost there."
