Mutually Beneficial Dungeoneering 4 (Patreon)

"This is awesome!" Mara said, as she put on the wolf cowl that the newest member of the party, Benny, had made for her. It gave her a wild, powerful look, like someone not to be trifled with!

"I'm so glad you like it!" Benny said. "The lining is made with treated cotton, it should keep you warm!" 

Mara nodded. "Now the question is, why did I have to take off my top to put it on?" she asked. "This... seems like it would fit just fine over my shirt."

The wolf cowl, the combination of a cape made from the Alpha Pelt and a wolf-head shaped helmet from the head she'd obtained, covered Mara's shoulders and head, giving her an intimidating look... which was a bit undercut by the fact that at Benny's insistence, she had taken off her shirt to put it on, leaving her bra as the only thing that kept her modest.

"But it wouldn't match," Benny said.

Cupcake nodded. "That's true, your plain boring shirt would clash horribly with the sexy berserker look you've got going with that cowl!"

"Yeah but I would not be exposed!" Mara reasoned, gesturing at her chest.

"But that's the best part," Cupcake said.

Benny coughed. "I'm sorry, I, I'll work on an armor piece that-"

"Refused!" Cupcake said. "Mara, embrace it, this is your look now."

"Ugh, fine, whatever, you think this makes me look strong?" Mara asked, flexing her arms, and striking a pose. She had been slowly but surely developing both her metaphysical strength and the body underneath it, doing some exercise alongside her voyages into the dungeon. Speaking of which...

The three man party approached Rosie at their common entrance. "How's it hanging, ladies, and Benny," Rosie said, offering them a smile. "The soup was a total success!"

"Awesome! Well, I'll have to get ready to dive," Cupcake said. "You too, Benny, unlike our fearless leader we can't walk around looking all badass and shit," she said. "We have to put on our armor, come on!"

The absurdly thick gnome dragged the unmanly man into the preparing room while Mara was left behind with Rosie.

"So... you know what I want right?" Mara asked.

Rosie giggled. "Of course, of course!" she said, wiggling her golem tushy as she turned her back and grabbed a paper from the board behind her, placing it on the counter. "Here's your next quest, by the by... call it a little favor. A village a bit further in has a Goblin Rider in it, and it's a little bit close to the entrance... we don't want level three creatures close to the entrances."

"That's not what I was expecting," Mara remarked, dryly. "I'll take it, but you know..."

"The secret is new experiences darling," Rosie said, licking her lips. "Much like if you fight the same enemy over and over again, you will see the experience you are rewarded drop over time... less enriching and less beneficial," she said. "Want to keep getting those big, powerful boosts? Then you've gotta keep moving forward, and experiencing more and newer things. Have you even met a female goblin yet?"

"There's female goblins? I thought it was a species of males only."

"So do a lot of people. In fact, female goblins don't even show up in a lot of bestiaries," Rosie mused. "Goblins aren't really female like you or I."

Mara openly displayed her confusion.

"Think of it as more of a... well, they don't have vaginas, but their dicks are small, and they have absolutely huge butts, I'm talking, they make Cupcake look restrained," Rosie explained. "Can usually fit anything short of a dragon up there too."

"Gross," Mara said, rolling her eyes. 

"Wolf riders are female goblins, I think you can imagine how they tame their wolf partners," Rosie said. "Also? Don't try the wolves. They've got the annoying habit to try to walk off while they're still stuck inside you..."

"Grosser," Mara said, making a disgusted face. "So what... what are you suggesting? I should, uh, try to be the aggressor with a goblin or something?"

"No, I'm not giving you a specific suggestion," Rosie said, raising her hands. "I'm saying you should try something new. Maybe not with goblins, and definitely not with the wolves... even if they're about as intelligent."

"Still gross," Mara responded, shaking her head. "Well... uh, to be honest, I can't really think of that sort of stuff. I stumbled into this by accident you know, ugh, I should've thought twice before coming to this dungeon just because it was safe!"

"Safe for your life, not so much your butt," Cupcake said, as she came out of the room winking. She wore leather now - she was trying out something new, and had strapped a series of knives to her waist and her oversized hips. Her overly developed feminine charms overflowed from her clothes.

Benny, meanwhile...

"Cupcake what is this," Mara asked, gesturing at... well, at Benny.

Benny, who was wearing what could only be described as a heavy breastplate, and a pair of chainmail panties.

"How is your, you know, penis not crushed!" Mara asked.

"It's really comfortable, the inner lining is very soft, and, uhm, well - it's really protective..."

"Benny was this armor designed for women?" Mara asked.

The breastplate was a bit of a difference over the baggy, body concealing clothes he wore before, and it had space for breasts that Benny didn't have. He also had tied his long blond hair into a ponytail, and kept his fringe off of his forehead with a tiara. It really...

"Do you... are you comfortable like that?" Mara asked, finally. "Not drafty or anything?"

Benny blushed. "I, uhm, I overheat easily so..." he wiggled in place a little. He also had a cape hanging from his shoulders. Really, it would've all looked quite nice as a knight's armor, it was just... 

Why a chainmail bikini bottom? Why greaves up to his knees adorned with wings? Why heels on his sabatons? 

Why the fuck was Benny a sexier woman than Mara had ever thought herself to be?

"I'm impressed," Rosie said, looking him up and down. "You dress up cute!" she said, giving a thumbs up and licking her lips at the sight of the, well, terribly unsubtle bulge Benny sported.

"If you're comfortable like that, I guess it's fine, but if you get cut or stabbed on your thighs, I will laugh," Mara said, finally.

"Says the woman not wearing anything on her chest," Cupcake said, laughing.

"Shut it you!" Mara said, turning a finger to her. "Anyway, we've got a mission guys, we're moving deeper this time, and we're bagging ourselves a wolf rider."

Benny's eyes almost sparkled. "Amazing! Goblin Riders' wolves have pelts that nearly match an Alpha's quality, and their spears are tipped with Explodite, I can turn that into an exploding knife!"

"What the actual fuck?" Mara asked. "Goblin riders' spears explode?"

Rosie cleared her throat. "Explodite needs to be treated before it can explode, otherwise it's just a dark rock that's easy to carve."

Benny nodded, wiggling in place. "It's a very easy process, I can even do it on the field, I've got the reagents I need!" he said, gesturing to the bag slung diagonally over his body, resting on his shoulder, patting it firmly. "Too bad we don't have an archer, I could make some exploding arrows too!"

Cupcake giggled. "If this throwing knife thing doesn't work out," she said, "I'll think about getting a bow."

Mara snorted. "A good bow would be bigger and heavier than you," she mused. "Maybe a short recurve bow that could be fired quickly? For exploding arrows you probably don't need to be that accurate, it'd be a good way to start an engagement if we've got the element of surprise!"

"Ooh, you're so smart Miss Mara!" Benny said.

Rosie cleared her throat. "Come on you guys," she said, "I've got more darling newbies that want to come through and you're kind of in their way right now," the golem said, laying her face on her hand, offering them a kind smile. "Please do take care of that little problem for us, and Mara? Think about what I said, alright?" she asked. "I'm sure it'll at least help you guys stay together... and stay alive."

Mara nodded, clenching her fist.

Cupcake and Benny chatted and walked into the dungeon, into Kamadeva, while she followed behind them, thinking about what she had to do going forward. She had to think about... it was something she on some level suspected...

As the gnome threw one of her knives with surprising accuracy at a lone goblin wandering the dungeon, to Benny's gushing praise, Mara pulled the mission paper that the golem had handed her earlier.

The question was... could she go forward and go through with Rosie's suggestion? The mission was clear...

She looked at Cupcake's massive ass, barely contained by her leather pants. Cupcake wasn't wearing panties under it, and as she bent over to grab her knife, it was quite evident, as the gnome's pussy lips, her cameltoe, somehow made an impression on the leather.

She looked at Benny's much more petite, but perfectly rounded butt, as it almost seemed to wiggle while he walked. He had slightly wider hips than most did, and it gave his gait a particularly eyecatching shake, his ass barely half covered by the still baffling decision that was his bottoms.

Was this town just... full of perverts? 

Could she be one of them, too? 

Rosie had made it quite clear... with the secret she had passed Mara, hidden in the mission papers, which she had clearly predicted neither Benny nor Cupcake would pay much attention to, just taking Mara's word for the details...

As she thought about whether she truly had what it took to do that sort of thing to her teammates, the spectacular sight of their butts walking in concert before her sent a powerful feeling down Mara's brain to her crotch.

It was even worse to think that she was turned on by the very thought. She shook her head and steeled her determination. She was a level three adventurer, she was very close to the bottom of the totem pole, but... if she grew a little further, as a level four adventurer, she'd have no trouble handling a level three creature like a Goblin Rider.

So far, they had always wound up in control of their escapades... could she take the plunge?

The map drawn by Rosie drew Mara's eye again, and she began to lead her party towards their destination, pulling her cowl more firmly into place and tossing her cape, making it flutter in a cool way as she burst into the lead of the party, sword in hand. "Let's get a move on!" she shouted.

"R-Right!" Benny answered.

"Lessgoo!" Cupcake cheered.

Their good cheer filled Mara with hope that everything would turn out just fine.
