November Poll: Post-Season Additions (Patreon)

As season one rapidly approaches its conclusion, we’ve been looking back at some potential missed opportunities, with a particular focus on all the fun and interesting ways you can get yourself in trouble.

To that effect, we’ve pitched a number of potential scenes spread throughout the first ten episodes of the season. First things first, a few disclaimers:

• These are all cul-de-sacs, meaning there’s no happy endings… or they’re all happy endings, depending on your perspective. You’ll figure it out. Either way, none of the scenes currently listed will have any impact on the story going forward.
• All scenes will feature in addition to any preexisting game overs. Nothing is being replaced.
• We’ll be writing out these scenes while transitioning from season 1 to season 2 (more on that at a later date, but the short version is don’t expect to see these until after episode 14 is released).

The scenes themselves:

• Option 1 - Episode 1: If you do a very poor job as a server at the Hungry Hare tavern, one of the wait staff (Sabitha) decides you’ll be more useful on her hips. [OV]
• Option 2 - Episode 1: If you’re not quick enough on your feet while running from the tavern, a brief collision with a noblewoman can end in a more permanent entanglement. [OV]
• Option 3 - Episode 3: After a stressful day spent hunting harpies, you (unwisely) spend a few quiet moments on your own. You run into a familiar face, Breia (the thug from the end of Episode 2), who decides you’re too good of a meal to pass up. [AV]
• Option 4 - Episode 3: While researching by yourself at the library, you can get yourself in trouble with an absent-minded scholar. [OV]
• Option 5 - Episode 4: Before laying down for sleep at the end of a long day of travel, you can wander off and wind up running into an unassuming, but no less hungry, squirrel monster girl. [OV]
• Option 6 - Episode 5: While gathering clues in Amberglen with Mira, you can overstay your welcome at a tavern run by a particularly stuffed canine demi. [UB & OV]
• Option 7 - Episode 6: While navigating the hive on your own, you can attempt to seduce your way past the brick-throwing bee. It does not work in the slightest. [UB]
• Option 8 - Episode 9: When spending the day with Vanille, your search for a missing cow can lead you a bit too far into the forest. A wolf monster girl waits with open “jaws.” [AV]
• Option 9 - Episode 10: While exploring the catacombs, your curiosity can wind up landing your companions in hot water—or, more specifically, the stomachs of the trio of myconids. You’re left with a choice: try to assist in their escape yourself, or flee back through the sewers and seek help. Neither ends well. [OV]

The winner of this month’s poll will be included during the post-season releases. You can vote for as many options as you want until the morning of November 29th. If your favorite doesn’t win this time around, don’t worry; we’ll be running this poll again with some new options, and potentially other fun twists in the coming months.

Oh, and one last thing: for the sake of easy access, when these extra scenes are released, we’ll also create separate documents (like the additional Vanille Episode 11 scene from earlier this month) so you can read them in their non-interactive form in case you’re not eager to skim through half a million words to find them yourself.
