The village was nice, in that quaint sort of, everyday farmer sort of way. That was alright... but it needed more. How was an ambush preditor supposed to hunt if they prey could just walk up the centre away from all the nooks and crannies? Ugh, this would not do! First things first!

They'd need to redisign and rebuild. Blocking on areas and building new bridges and walkways. Forcing attacking parties to bottle neck into a maze of pathways. Especally if there were ways for Mimi to scamper around unseen and get to her next attack point! Then they'd need to hide the entrance. Some kind of ilusionary wall would do for now, at least until they could come up with something a bit more permanent.

The mobs around the place could help with building, but they'd also need to be able to live in this area. Hidden rooms with living accommodations perhaps? She'd need to consult them for their needs. Obviously they'd need to be able to live a normal life, and only fall back to defensive structures should the place be attacked. Well, Mimi knew all about hiding in plain sight. Maybe she could ask Blackbone about underground tunnels to move from place to place. If the mobs could join in on the ambush fun it would really slow the enemy down, they'd certainly be a lot less willing to run straight in if they could be attacked from anywhere! That would also give everyone else time to prepare their own defence. Some kind of warning sign.... oh the village bell! Yeah, that would be good!

What else... traps? could be risky for the mobs. Hmmmm... she looked at her underlings. Most looked like normal every day people. But there were the Spiders to consider as well. They were about the size of a dog. But they moved quick and could paralyse with a bite. They'd be able to get around pretty well.

"Hey, any ideas on how we can make this place defendable?" She asked, patting the spider lightly on the head.

"Keeeeee?" It considered the question. "Trapdoorsssss anddd, murderrrr holessssss. Websssss toooo catchhhhh. Websssss innnn woodsssss woulddddd warnnnn offffff threatsssss." Mimi nodded, thoughtfully.

"Alright, I'll make sure to mention it to Master. Thanks." She looked back to the mighty clock tower. Time to make her way over. Master must be so lonely without her! Mimi to the rescue!

She scampered over to the tower. This was her special entry point. But she'd have to be quick. She formed into a spider herself, and skittered up the tower walls. Worming her way between the stonework and onto the inside. Ahh, the archives. This was where she'd penetrated originally when scouting the dungeon out. From here it was just a hop skip and a jump to the Master's chambers.

She paused briefly, to pull some books out of the shelf, and crawl through into a little hidey hole she'd found during her original scouting. It was here that she'd placed something. Something which would clearly wow Master. A rare piece of equipment that dropped from one of the original encounters when she mapped out the dungeon.



Truly a staff worthy of an overlord! It's archane enhancing abilities and imposing appearance would be perfect for striking fear into the Master's enemies!

And then there was the pet!



The King of Ravens, a inteligent pet that would match the Master's dark and mysterious appearance with a touch of royalty.

Tucking the staff under her arm (so as to not get spit all over it) and holding the bird carefully in her hands. Mimi skipped happily up towards Master's throne room. Let's see that stupid dragon wannabe beat that!

Stepping forth, Mimi places the bird on the ground, and bows low. The raven does the same.

"Oh great and noble Master! I present to you gifts from your most loyal servant, i.e. me! Hehehehe. This, mighty staff, captured during our raid to take the dungeon, amplifies magical ability greatly, and can be set to float menacingly to free your hands up for other tasks! I also present to you a rare treasure! The King of Ravens! A intelligent familiar who's regality and nobility is almost a match for your own! Truly a pet worthy of serving you, oh Master!" Mimi bows low, adding an extra swoosh of the hands. "Now for my report. The Village as it is right now lacks defensive options. However, with your permission I would like to convert back areas into bottlenecks where your minions might better ambush the enemy, as well as give us ways to move through the area unseen to better set up further ambushes. This would still leave areas liveable for the mobs. But would give us plenty of ways to bring down unwary adventurers, and slow the wary down considerably."

Mimi smiled. It stretched a little too far across her face. "I would also like to ask for Blackbone's advice on setting up tunnels to allow your troops ease movement within the village itself. As to the front, we could present a normal village, complete with traders and farms. That way we can continue to add to the treasury, and send away or lure in visitors depending on our needs."

Bear flanks? Ha, easy! They'll be easy! Mimi shook her head at the question. "No questions Master! You'll have those hides by the time you wake up! Hehehe!" Mimi giggles striking a pose. Hell, she already had a few rattling around inside of her. It was only like... 3 or so, but that was a start! Bowing low before her Master, Mimi smiled to herself. Yeah, this was in the bag. Master could count on her!

Golden Rabbits huh? Well, if she could bring back one of those then that would show that idiotic dragon wanna-be her place. Did she even hear herself? Well it would be funny to watch her get taken out by bears. But it probably wouldn't help them succeed in this mission. Maybe some other time.

But anyway, while the muscle harvested the bears. She could focus on catching this wraskly wabbit. Now theoretically she could turn a part of her into a cage, but the big risk would be biting down on it. Traditionally Mimics were designed to bite and ambush. But that was because the prey struggled. But that can be overcome. Being ambush predators food might not wander by for weeks. Mimics had evolved a method to store subdued living food to consume later on. And once they'd learned about the sentient races desire for loot, a verity of objects and valuables inside themselves to act as bait. It was this trait that first lead to people trying to tame them and store their treasures inside of them. With mixed success. First things first, Golden Rabbits were a cowardly buncha critters, even for Rabbits. They ran and hide at the first sign of danger. But they kick pretty hard. Leaves tracks, and tracks to their hiding spot at that!

Getting down close, Mimi could see the kick marks. Tiny things, but the marks were there if you knew what to look for. They were leading over that way. The bunnies must have bolted the first time they heard their group approaching. Which means their burrow wouldn't be too far. This might be easier then she thought!

Her ears perked up when Missile started barking. What was that? Skeleton Imps? Oh great! That was going to make things fun!

"Hmmm, guess we'll have to be careful to not create too deep a pit. Unless we could drop the bears down there and try and pick up the items beyond. But that might be more trouble then it's worth. I'm fine with the plan otherwise. But if Newbee wants to get eaten by bears she's more then welcome to." Mimi stuck her tongue out, it extended a foot and waggled in the air. That wasn't even nearly as far as it could go.

Mimi was already in the middle of spreading her traps. Off to the side, just like they planned. So the group could guide the bears into her kill zone. Easy stuff. Step on the pad, get eaten. Like a bear trap, but bigger. and toothiy-er. She'd just finished settling down into her form, laying out the last of her very much extended body, when there came the sound of a lot of very angry bears pelting towards her.

"What in- oh for the love of...!"

Mimi darted for the safety of the massive Ork so she could scatter her form into insects. She was going to run full pelt to the traps. Hopefully even catch a few of these bears and slow their charge. The hard part? Not getting stepped on! She darted through a forrest of legs to safety. She activated the first trap! It slammed shut loudly. Enough to startle the bears. Good, that should give them some breathing room!

She was going to have to dunk that Dragon's head into dung when they got home. Maybe even take that stupid ribbon she was so proud of. Ugh, that idiot!

She was going to shred that bow right in Newdumbs face.

With a sudden burst of energy, Mimi leaps out of her traps and sprints at the bears. She was going to open a door for Oghrun. Animals hated fire. It was a well known fact. Nothing liked being on fire. And Newbee wasn't the only one capable of breathing it.

Mimi crossed her arms as they walked. She'd put in all the hard work to find the rabbit, but NO Missile was the one who was carrying it back. He got all growlly when you tried to reach for the bunny too. And of course Newbee was being her usual insufferable self. Could this day be any worse?

Speak of the devil.

"Adventures, huh... neat."

She had no intentions of giving them anything. But maybe it would be helpful to point something out.

Mimi watched as the lich launched himself at the spell caster. Ooooh, bad choice. Okay, she had no way of knowing ahead of time that being an obvious caster in front of Blackbone was a death sentence, but it was her own fault. Clearly. Then Newbee also joined in, it was rather unnecessary, Blackbone didn't need the help. But whatever, maybe he'd catch her with a back swing and knock her out or something. Now THAT would be funny!

She glanced over to where the Baron was taking his opponent apart bit by bit. Gosh, who'd would have thought that challenging someone to a one on one duel was a bad idea. She reshaped herself to the girls measurements. Hmmm, it would be a little flashy. But that kimono would be quite a nice prize.

"Hey Baron! Try not to ruin her dress too badly! It would look pretty good on me! Hehehehe." she called out. More to make the adventurer a little bit more fearful then anything else.

How rude! Ignoring a Mimic is a sure way to lose a finger. Hmm, not that Mimi would want one of her nasty fingers. She probably tastes terrible. The words of the mage, Lilly reach her ears. "Not good with scary things" She said. Ha, well Mimi was probably her worst nightmare! Then another sounds reaches her ears.

It's Newbee

Crying.

Mimi feels a rush of satisfaction, 'yeah! Take that you overblown lizar....' the crying continued. The pitiful sobs of someone deeply hurt. Mimi felt a twinge of guilt. Which she tried to smush deep down inside. But she couldn't help but see Newbee flailing weakly. She shifted from foot to foot. Trying to ignore the sound.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" she groaned. Then rushed at the mage. Shifting her body into all kinds of horrible forms.

"Look out Newbee! SHE'S TRYING TO STEAL YOUR RIBBONS!!!" she yelled in warning. It was a total lie, but Mimi was very good at faking things. Diving over Newbee, she gave the ribbon a little tug (to fake the stealing attempt she was 'foiling'), and pushing her (gently) back, 'away' from the attempted theft! Then? Then she just got to gribbling all over the trapped mage. Especially all over her face. Just you try and talk when you've got The Thing trying to give you a kiss! Yeah, it wasn't the most dangerous attack. But it was all about the effect. It was scary and sudden and all in your face! She made a mouth on the other side of her head, so she could yell at Newbee some more. Partly because yelling at her made Mimi feel better, but also to try and get her head back into the game. It was embarrassing seeing her all... mopey like that.

"Newbee! Focus! You're one of Mistresses servants! Would she really want to see you crying like that!!"

"Not a bad little haul." Mimi said, scooping stuff into her vast cavernous maw, including the Kemono (though that she placed carefully). Made things a lot easier then carrying them. "Ohhh, carrots!

Maybe Mimi would even leave some of it out, lure them in and bite their legs off. Hehehehe.

Newbee seemed very proud of her terrible dress, not a surprise, she did have terrible taste. Undoubtedly the thing would get torn to ribbons first time she tried to fight in it. But that was nether here nor there. She was just relieved the overgrown lizard had stopped sobbing. Mimi didn't really know how she felt about it all. Was it some kind of irritation that had made her try to stop the dragon crying? Or had she done it because she didn't like seeing Newbee cry? She didn't know, and it annoyed her. Did she hate the dragon because she egotistically jostled with her for the top spot? (When Mimi was obviously already the winner) Or was it because she felt physically threatened by what she would one day become?

Ugh, these questions were just complicated and messy. What she really needed right now, was to eat something.

And while they were down there, tangle with the Wine Seller

Mimics were. By their very design, very surprising. Nothing was quite so surprising as a Mimic suddenly splitting you at half at the waist. Mimi brought her Jaw over the top and down, like a dolphin diving. Only with significantly more teeth and curiously the same amount of giggling. Enveloping the mage down to his hips, and snapping down with enough force to shatter metal, stone, bone, and in this case, Wizard.

"Raw" Mimi said. Raising her arms in a spooky fashion.

Her 'shadow' erupted from the floor beneath the other mages. Like Shark jaws. Snapping shut and sinking back into the floor. It was one of her special moves. 'Raw' a deadly aoe attack, rising a number of her mouths from the floor to eat the unwary. Massive damage, and she automatically stripped them of whatever loot they were carrying. It comboed wonderfully with 'Boo', otherwise known as the bread and butter of Mimics. Launching a bite attack from hiding.

Mimi who had taken out every mage in the fight in a single move before they could cast a spell. Mimi who'd gone out of her way to assist the idiot dragon! Mimi who worked her shape shifting butt off to get that stupid raven, and staff for the Mistress! Mimi who infiltrated their new home alone to get vital information on the layout!

Yet, once again, she get's overlooked!

It was almost enough to make her scream!

So that was exactly what she did.

She channelled her anger and fury into a spell. A flurry of mage hands flew out of her (many) mouth(s). They grabbed the webs left over from the whelps, and whipped them through the air! Snagging the two remaining Whelps, stringing them up together! The hands dangled them up in the air. In clear sight of the mistress and probably anyone else. Hands grabbed their mouths, forcing them wide open. Then a secondary spell spat a jet of water over both of them, splashing it into their mouths.

Then her last spell came from her main mouth. A lightning bolt. Charged with wrath, and powered by rage. The lightning ripped through the air, and hit the struggling pair of dragon. Soaked as they were with water, both inside and out, the surge fried the both of them. The webs set aflame, dropping the charred whelps to the cold stone floor.

Mimi stood there, panting. She didn't feel better. Not even slightly. But she took a shaky calming breath. Her throat felt raw from the flux of magic she'd just employed.

Mimi felt somewhat mollified at actually getting some form of praise. (She was still pissed that everyone else got some as well.) Having eaten the loot, she listened intently to the next parts. Sneaking? Mimi loved sneaking! She was really really good at it too! She quickly shifted down into a spider, and hopped onto Newbee'd dress. Reasoning that the Dragon's flight would be more then sufficient to not trigger the eggs, and if Newbee triggered the eggs, then she could just hop off and be on her way.

"Geeze Newbee, I thought you were good a flying! The sooner we get your wings back, the better!" Mimi says, climbing off the dragon and shifting back to her 'natural' form. She shook her head to clear the dizziness. Listening to Ogkrul's annalisis.

"Ohh, good eye big guy! Hang on. Be right back!"

Mimi skittered up the wall and up onto the platform. She shifted herself into a simple rug. Well worn and dirty. Waiting for the first of the dorks to get close.

A goblin? Huh, well, she could leave that to the others. Mimi had more important things to do.

Namely, pushing dudes off ledges.

Sneaking up as a little swarm of ants, Mimi waited for the perfect moment. Then she 'added' herself to the structure. Extending out the brickwork just a bit along the route where the target stood at the edge. Unthinkingly the poor creature stepped onto her makeshift platform. Ehehehehehehehehe.

Hahha! Oh yeah, that felt good! This was what she was best at. Okay, she'd love to just eat these idiots. But there was a time and place for that. She glanced back down to see what the rest of them were doing... and they were getting outshone by a goblin! A SINGLE GOBLIN! Mimi opened her mouth to shoot out a snide remark. But then the mistress stepped in. Oh god she actually did something herself for once! She shut her mouth and headed back up. Angry at the conflicting emotions this was making her feel. She'd take those out on the last of these guards.

She couldn't even take any enjoyment in it. She pretended to be a stone pebble on the floor. Waiting for the fool to step on her. Then she tripped him off over the edge. Okay, she felt a small pang of pride at the look of confusion and betrayal on his face as he plummeted over the edge. Mimi waited a few moments, took a breath. Then she headed back down.

Maybe the rest of them could actually pull their weight.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Mimi takes the reward and spins with it like it was a massive diamond. Praise and proof! Yeah! Take that! She'd had to work extra hard as well for it. (Which if she was being honest, she'd done twice as much work for the same amount of thanks. But ignoring the fact that she's the only one who could use the Soul, it still counted as her being better then all of them!)

She activated the orb, trying out the form. Revelling in the sense of power it gave her. She shifted back before they headed to the boss. She could use it if it would be helpful.

Watching the boss carefully Mimi tried to use Blackbone's earlier discoveries to try and work out what this things deal was.

Owww!!! Mimi clutched at her injury, that was totally uncalled for! She balled all that sudden adrenalin and pain into a handy little buff spell. Yeah, shockingly she wasn't interested in tangling with that in a fist fight. But someone else could.

With a little flourish, she summoned a little red orb near the party. It pulsed angrily. Someone could draw on that and use her anger to hit that stupid dragon! For once, she didn't mean Newbee

The fight was over. Mimi breathed a sigh of relief. She was not built for a brawl. She was a Mimic dammit! They weren't ambush predators for nothing! Even so, it was over now, and that was all that mattered. Mimi looked to her injury, a bruise, but it was probably the worst injury she'd had since she'd been created.

Clearly this meant she needed pats, and comforting. Clearly.

That wasn't going to happen though. Instead they got a new sister. Mimi, knew all kinds of things about Naga! She knew about everything. She was expecting something... cold. Disinterested. Another arse head unable to appreciate her gifts. Then Coral slithered up to her.

Coral posted:

"Beautiful"

Mimi went very still... she went red. Not just her cheeks. But her whole body. A subtle crimson. She slowly reached out a hand, hovering for just a few moments. Before gently patting the Naga on the head. Her voice came back strained.

"...You are the best thing ever...!" She breathed. Her eyes wide with glee. "Do you like traps then?!" She sounded a little over excited. But that was the nature of a shared interest.

Mimi looks at her Kemono. She'd not tried it on yet... maybe it was time? She slipped on the garment and give it an experimental twirl.

But wine wasn't something that Mimi had had to investigate before. The village wasn't exactly overflowing with the stuff. But! There was something she could do. A while back Mistress had given her a book on wine she'd got from a quest!

Well....

Mimi ate it.

But! reasons that Mimi had the book aside. All she had to do was go digging for it!

"Okay guys, these are all examples of wines made with Magarach Ruby, Bracciola nera, Black Muscat, and Grand Noir de la Calmette Red grapes! Meaning that they all share common groupings. These few here were all first made in 1674." She says pointing at a four or so bottles. "And these one's over here are all reputed to be favourites of the King of Skalamanti."

I dunno, that sounds more difficult than what a low level spell should be able to do, Especially with AOE (and keeping in mind the fact that we already established that light sources have trouble working under the sludge.) I'll let you do it but I'm going to increase the difficulty for that to 4.

Mimi felt like dancing, and dance she did, twirling from one step to the next. She felt the ripples of the sludge as the beasts lunged. So she stepped carefully out of the way, reaching out and touching the creature with a simple glowing spell. The spell's name was 'Candle' in the book. A very basic light spell. It makes the thing blessed give off light. Glowing like a arcane crystal! On in this case strange monster hiding in wine sludge. But now there was a tell tail glow. faint. But enough to keep track of them if you were paying attention. But the light would grow the closer they got to the surface. Good luck hiding now! Fuckos! She repeated the feat on the other. Both softly glowing.

Mimi ducked and weaved the fishy frenzy. Pulling and shifting her mass as only she could.

Each of them had their own way to deal with this. But Coral's idea was genius! Fighting fire with fire! Mimi had the biggest bite around. Some might complain she was all talk, but they were wrong.

Mouths flying everywhere, snapping at the fish even as they leap. Mimi feels like she's doing something no mimic has done before. Their natural tendency is to run and re-ambush. It felt wrong to stand a fight. But she was moving in ways that no mimic before her has done. Ducking and weaving, her form shifting into blades and fanged mouths.
