#5 of A Demonic Challenge

Into the Swamp!

The party have escaped the Dungeon of the Dark Host and are slogging their way through the mud of the swamplands!

Let's hope they can pull this off without re-setting time!


Squelching forwards through the muck Marcus muttered under his breath as he had to rely on support from Nidonocu and Flinty for help in dragging his hooves free. The mud was thick, slimy and clung tightly to his thighs trying to pull him down or hold him in place. The real bitch was the way his hooves kept cutting through the mud as if it was water, dragging him down. At least this time he'd managed to stop just short of his waist. Last time he'd wound up buried to his armpits before the compacted layers of muck stopped his plummet.

"Thanks guys," he muttered in appreciation to the others as he started forwards again, "We need to get out of this swamp..." the goat muttered, "It's horrible."

"I'm not a fan either," Sefra said as he squelched along, big bunny feet squishing the thick, slimy clay around his toes and over the top of his feet with each step, "Those rocks should do," he pointed at an outcrop of scrubby trees and old rocks about half a mile away, "Any thoughts on what the host meant?"

"No idea," Quinten muttered, the bunny was coated head to toe in thick mud, "He claims this is an endurance and survival test," he glanced back toward the black pyramid they had escaped from, "We'll know the real trick or trap soon enough."

Marcos nodded and heaved his legs forwards, wading through the mud. It was unpleasantly humid, the mud stank and everyone was covered to some extent or other. Their latex clothing wasn't making things better. The goats shorts clung uncomfortably tight against his skin and mud oozed all around his torso but somehow couldn't slide under his harness. He was glad they had been able to remove the gas masks and dump the oxygen tanks. Though each of them still had their gas mask hooked onto belt or harness just in case.

The muddy expanse however was horribly unpleasant and Marcos was really hoping something would happen soon to distract him from the sodden, gooey, clinging mess. The dark host had told them it was their task to cross the swamp and to find the tower of the Dark Knight. He'd also told them they could dump their gas tanks but warned that they would all be tested. He'd laughed and then fucked off leaving their small group in the horrible humid swamp. It was another twenty minutes of walking through mud to reach the rocky outcropping and during that time Marcos fell over another ten or so times. His arms were mud to the elbows, his hooves hopeless clumps of muck and he was feeling pretty miserable. He was glad to get onto the first outcropping of rock and paused to bash and scrape his hooves against the stone.

Nidonocu stopped beside him, the purple bunny sinking to the floor with a sigh as the others clambered up the rocks. Marcos offered the horn sporting bunny a grin as he clomped his hooves on the rocks, "I've been meaning to ask, what's with the horn? Are you some sort of unicorn half breed or something?"

The stocky purple rabbit gave up fiddling with his belt and looked up with a grimace, "I'm a poison bunny," he lifted one arm as if to grab his horn but stopped and wiped his muddy paw against his leg, "Part rabbit, part poisonous dinosaur, little bit of snake," he swayed his tail from side to side, "It's a fun thing to be."

Marcos laughed and stamped his hooves firmly, "I'd love to meet your parents, that must he some matchup."

"Sure, when we get out of here I will," he tugged at his shorts again and sighed, "I wish these things didn't cling so to my body, I can't.. rearrange myself properly."

Hitching his own shorts, or trying to the goat smiled, "I know what you mean these aren't that comfortable they...." Marcos looked around sharply as shouts echoed from the other side of the rocks. It sounded like Sefra and Quinten yelling interspersed with a chorus of sharp, high pitched yipping sounds and the crack of lightning.

With a startled look at Nido the goat took off for the top of the rocks and entered a scene of chaos. A group of reptilian creatures were attacking the party, using a combination of magic and magical weapons their ambush had put them in a position to win. Quinten was half wrapped in vines that were under the control of a green reptile. He was fighting back though, turning the vines back on the green critter, the two nature attuned beasts fighting each other with plants. Morty and Sefra were already down, trussed up in bola that glowed with a peculiar light, they were clearly the weapon of choice for the copper scaled reptile who was whirling another around their head. As they watched she let fly, hurling it at Shy, the young Hyena threw himself sideways in a desperate attempt to escape it. The bola changed course and only missed as the hyena vanished under the mud entirely with a wet GLOOP as he hit a deep patch.

She cursed and started forward, being joined by a huge, beige coloured reptile, "What the hell are they?" Marcos whispered to Nido as he lay atop the rocks beside the rabbit.

"Kobolds," Nido whispered, "Damn that one is big, he's nearly the same size as oh fuck..." kneeling up Nido yelled, "Quinten behind you watch out for!"

He was too late, a purple scaled creature with a crossbow shot the hare in the back. The hare's scream cut off as grey engulfed his body and he stood lifeless, a statue draped in vines. Sadly Nido's shout drew the attention of the kobolds and the poison-bunny's ears flicked backwards in alarm, "Ah crap... I think we best run..." he dropped back behind the rocks and turned around and froze as he found himself with the sharp point of a red gemstone pressed into his stomach.

It was attached to the long black-iron sceptre being wielded by the short red kobold with twisted horns who'd snuck up behind Marcos and himself. He grinned and pointed a paw at Marcos as he scrambled down the rocks and in an uncharacteristic show of bravado threw himself at the lizard. There was a flash of green light and the goat vanished in a swirl of azure fog, what emerged was a white faced possum that thumped into the kobold's hand. It squeaked as the kobold's fingers squeezed it's wriggling body and he looked up at the purple bunny.

"Wasn't expecting you Nido, what are you doing in here?"

"Ah... playing the game, it's fun sometimes to sign up as a contestant... what about you Vikris?"

"Favour for the Master, Tsochan wanted our expert touch on this party. They have been annoying him but as you are a contestant..." he jabbed the sceptre into Nido's stomach again and the bunny made a squeaking noise before toppling over backwards, paralysed and helpless, "Now we can have some fun."

Struggling to break free of the coiled leather bindings holding his arms and legs together the best Sefra managed was to make himself a deeper pit in the mud. Whatever weird magic was powering the bola made them shift and twist and wriggle to keep a tight grip on his body. They also drained away his magic, sapping his strength any time he tried to move the wind.

Flicking his ears back as he heard the squelch of someone approaching Sefra squirmed around onto his back and gaped at the red kobold looming over him. He wriggled and tried to sit up but his bonds contracted and forced him to lay flat.

"Vikris you fucking bastard, what are you doing here... let me go and stop interfering you fucking..."

He was cut off as Vik made a motion and a strip of leather reared up and tightened itself about his muzzle. The kobold then straddled Sefra's stomach and smirked down at him with a grin, squishing his knees and lower legs into the thick slurry of mud to either side of the bunny's body.

"Sorry Sefra, business and all that, I've been hired to make sure you fail this endurance game," he smirked and tugged his loincloth off, exposing the slit that housed his genitals. Eyes widening the rabbit watched as Vikris started to finger his slit, teasing his cock out of its home, rubbing up and down his length as it grew thicker and harder. He couldn't quite believe what he was seeing, watching Vik get his dick out right in front of him like this.

This wasn't like Vikris at all, they'd met a few times and the kobold was generally... his thoughts ended in a squeak of alarm as the red scaled kobold leant forward and squished his cock over Sefra's nose! It spread, thick gooey pre-cum oozing out and over his mud smeared fur as the kobold's cock kept on spreading, sliding up and around and over his face! No way, Vikris was not about to stuff him down his cock, the kobold didn't do that sort of thing!

The kobold let out a happy little groan overhead and thrust forward and Sefra's world turned hazy as thick, warm flesh oozed up around his head! He couldn't even protest thanks to his muzzle being held shut only squirm and wriggle, big bunny feet kicking wildly as he was dragged, dragged down the kobold's cock! It was warm and wet and slippery, tight and uncomfortable and that dick just spread, sliding around his shoulders, pulling him deeper with ease.

Sefra could feel his body, sliding out of the mud, slithering and slipping free with a thick, wet squelch as he was pulled deeper! His head passed the base of Vik's dick, squeezed through a tight ring of undulating flesh to squish into a larger space. The air was thick with musk, the wall his face was squished into was slippery with gooey kobold seed and there was nothing he could do to stop his body following! The walls of Vik's cock twitched and rolled around his body dragging him deeper and deeper. Sefra was forced to curl and squish into the walls of the tight space he was being forced into. Soon enough Sefra was curled tightly in the warm slimy confines of Vik's nuts, thick oozing cream leaking out all around him as he struggled to move his limbs or break free.

Flexing his arms against his bonds Sefra managed to get his fist between the small of his back and the walls but the bola held him tightly. Then without warning it suddenly melted, the thick bands of leather dissolved and Sefra jerked with sudden freedom! Everything squished around him and the rabbit gasped and reached for the latent power of his tattoos. The cogwheel designs burst into light, illuminating the tight, cramped space and for a second. Sefra reached out, ready to reset when everything went wrong. The power inside of him twisted, turned inward and with a shock Sefra cried out as suddenly his fur sloughed off, melting without warning. The spark of time magic leached out of his body, soaked into the walls of Vikris' nuts and then turned inwards against Sefra!

With one final squeak the bunny collapsed, his body sloughing into cum, melting away as his attempt to reset was hijacked by some devilish magic of the kobolds. He felt his limbs go, his torso, then his head, sinking into the rich, gooey kobold cum, melting away and then nothing...

Wriggling Shy tried to squirm out of his bonds but they were too tight. Mud squished about his body, oozing thickly through his fur, dripping off his whiskers as he tried to vain to wriggle free. He froze as a figure stopped by his side and grinned down at him, it was the copper kobold who'd thrown this thing at him. She smiled coyly and reached out to press a foot atop his head, grinning all the while as she smooshed Shy into the muck.

"Hello sweetie, you're mine now."

Spitting out a mouthful of muck the hyena whimpered and shook his head, "No... no I'm not... you can't ... rrrffff..." he was cut off as the copper kobold made a gesture and a cerulean glow engulfed his body. It took away his free will, he could feel her making him clamp his jaw shut, push his arms into the mud and clamber up onto his knees.

"Good boy, now then, strip..." her command was law, without hesitation Shy pulled off his latex harness, the collar springing open at his touch. His shorts followed suit, slipping down his muddy thighs, falling off with ease when before they had acted like a second skin. He managed a soft whimper as she made him kneel backwards and grip his ankles, exposing his thick, jutting cock to her. He couldn't stop it, he was growing harder by the second as she manipulated his body like a puppet or marionette.

"Someone likes this I see," she purred, reaching out with one foot to play with his cock, "Sadly I can't take you home to play with, at least not like this," sitting down in the mud she wriggled her fingers as she spread her legs and Shy pressed himself down on his chest. His cock slipped into the muck, the thick clay parting, squeezing around his shaft as the hyena wriggled forwards through the mud.

Without any hesitation Shy pressed his snout up against the Kobold's slick, moist slit and she let out a happy moan as his muzzle spread her slick folds and started to sink into her. After a couple of inches Shy thought he'd stop but the command continued, gripping her legs he heaved himself forwards and his whole muzzle sank into her. Shy opened his eyes wide in shock. Looking up into her grinning muzzle he flicked his ears as she stroked them and chuckled quietly, her grin growing wider.

"You'll be a beautiful egg little hyena, bye bye now," she then groaned and her slick folds suddenly gripped him harder and dragged him deeper. Warm flesh engulfed his head, squeezed across his skull and closed about his neck. Thick waves of slick cream oozed about his shoulders. Shy couldn't resist, couldn't pull free only sink deeper into her warm depths, there was no way out, her magic wrapped about his body and with a deep whimper Shy sank deeper, groaning quietly as he was forced to curl up inside her. Minutes after his inward journey began his cock butted up against the slick folds and was pushed down parallel to his legs and with a squeak Shy splashed his seed everywhere as his body curled tighter, his legs picking up speed as he was dragged inside.

His orgasm seemed to last for ages, only cutting off as the tip of his cock slipped inside of the copper kobold. Moments later her sex sealed shut behind his feet, her tight, squeezing inner walls pulled Shy up into her womb and everything grew dark and hazy and confusing as pulsating waves of magical energy oozed and flickered into his coiled body. It was so warm, cozy and safe and with a last deep sigh Shy fell unconscious.

Morty barked loudly, his deep baritone cries as Nocu thrust deep into his rump a delightful counterpoint to Flinty's high pitched yipping and yerfing as his cock was tormented and bounced atop by the purple Kobold. The fox was flat on his back, feet and arms buried beneath the mud and his tongue eagerly lapping and licking over the purple kobold's feet as they pressed atop his face. The purple 'bold had impaled himself atop Flinty's dick whilst he held Morty in his lap, the dog's squirming, barking cries a clear indication that he was enjoying every moment of this devious treatment.

Nocu didn't seem to mind being sandwiched between two of his captives, panting heavily and yapping heavily as he rocked back and forth. Pressing his dick deep into the smooth, mud covered dog, only to pull back out again as he sank down atop Flinty's cock. His pert scaled rump squeezed against the top of his knot before he thrust forwards and back into Morty. One of his hands tugged and teased at Morty's cock, squeezing his bulbous doggy knot. All the while he teased himself with the promise of enjoying Flinty's knot whilst keeping the fox deviously entertained by smushing his big 'bold feet all over the fox's face.

It was a very enjoyable situation and Nocu could have drawn it out for hours but they had a limited window in which to act. So with a series of quick, panting yip-yips Nocu bore down atop Flinty's cock and popped the fox's knot into his rump. It spread him beautifully and he yapped in delight as he pulled Morty down hard atop his own cock and fired his load into the dog. Flinty didn't let him down, the fox came hard as Morty's seed splashed in thick jets over Flinty's chest and Nocu's legs. It was amazing and with a groan Nocu struck, the magic they had prepared early slipped into their open minds as they rode orgasm and with a shudder they both fell limp as orange and blue mist rose out of Flinty and Morty respectively. The mist flowed into a pair of large gemstones hanging about Nocu's neck and he sank back with a happy growl as the bodies of his captives went limp.

Shaking his head the kobold wriggled free and stretched then set about squishing the fox and dog into the mud, discarding their useless husks, their bodies where his now.

Vikris watched Nocu and Touye enjoying themselves and turned to look at Nido, the purple dino-bunny was only just coming around. He groaned and squirmed then slowly sat up blinking, looking in confusion at the large rug under his body.

"What is this? Vikris?"

The red kobold smirked and made a slight gesture with one hand and Nido squealed as the weave of the rug suddenly came alive. It bubbled slowly and Nido's legs and rump started to sink as if the rug was a patch of quicksand. The rabbit wriggled and leant forwards, clawing at the rocks in a panicked attempt to pull himself free. It was all in vain however, the carpet's grip was unbreakable and slowly but surely it pulled Nido beneath the surface.

"Ooooh fun," Nocu yipped as he climbed up besides his chief and watched his soul twin sink, "Mind if I?"

"I mind," Vik yapped as he stood up, walking over toward the sinking rabbit, stroking his cock, "I've not cum yet." Grabbing Nido's horn the red kobold pulled him through the rug as if it were water. Resting his chin on the edge Vikris pressed his dick against his muzzle and the bunny rolled his eyes but found himself licking the kobold chief's thick black cock gently, "Good boy," the chief crooned as he humped forwards and drove his shaft into the bunny's warm maw. It felt good and Nido sucked harder, bobbing his head as best he could as Vikris humped his maw, oozing thick strands of pre down his throat as he deepthroated the kobold.

Vikris panted happily, leaning back and smirking at Nocu who was watching him with a hungry look on his scaled face. Reaching back Vik pulled his second in command close and kissed him, moaning into his mouth as he came. Bolts of cum poured down Nido's throat, a jet stream of oozing cum that the purple dino-bunny had no choice but to drink as Vikris' dumped the cream that had previously been Sefra down his captive's maw. It lasted for a good few minutes and Vikris pulled back for the last shuddering gush of spunk that soaked Nido's head before the carpet came alive and pulled the bunny under. He didn't even have time to cry out before he was gone and and the rug rippled, the weave now depicting Nidonocu as a part of its fabric.

"Aaaaah fuck me," Vik panted leaning against Nido, "I'd forgotten how much fun turning someone into cum is, why don't I do this more often?"

"Because you'll sleep for a week after that orgasm," Touye accused as she joined the boys, cradling a kobold egg in her arms, "We done here?"

"Yup, just the goat to deal with and the hare to take home, Repaiup wants to put him in the garden."

"Where is the goat?" Nocu asked as he shook mud off his feet, "I want to go get a bath, I feel all grotty."

"He's around somewhere," Vik said as he stood up, "I turned him into a possum... he can't have gotten fair, there," Vikris tossed a spell with a quick underarm motion and suddenly there was the goat, sprawled naked on his stomach as the polymorph spell was unravelled, "He's all yours Nocu."

Nocu started to stand up but the goat rolled onto his side and suddenly burst into light! Mud flaked off his body as the designs drawn into his fur exploded into life and Vikris flinched backwards as the magical energy washed over him.

"Damn, that's the temporal magic the Master warned us about," Vikris shouted, "He only said the rabbits had it, Nocu stop him!"

"To late," Nocu shouted as the white light erupted forth, Touye screamed and turned away. Hugging her egg she vanished with a pop, translating herself home and away before everything went to hell and time lurched....

Crouched amongst the rocks Vikris waited patiently for Sefra and Quinten to reach the rocks. It wouldn't be long now and they could pull off their ambush. Lifting his head the kobold looked toward the group of unsuspecting saps and frowned. They'd all gathered around the goat who was gesticulating wildly. Then Sefra spread his arms and a whirling cyclone of span itself into existence, scooping up layers of muck as it roared toward the rocks his Clan was hiding in.

~Chief,~ it was Touye's voice leaping into his thoughts via a sending spell, ~Get out of there, they know, the goat has access to the temporal magic too, they just used it on us.~

"Damn," Vikris cursed and hurriedly threw out a mass-recall, scooping up Nocu, Trellock and Repaiup, dragging them all back to the warren. The last sight of the swamp he had was of the cyclone engulfing their former hiding place before they landed with a thump in Vikris's study. Touye was waiting there hugging a large tawny coloured kobold egg resting in her lap, she waved her tail and smiled.

"Hey chief, sorry I had to bug out or that damn temporal spell would have gotten my egg too, they aren't having Shy back, he's mine now."

Rolling onto his back Vikris winched and slowly sat up, "That's OK, if they all have that magic there is no way we can take them down fast enough." rubbing his horns the kobold eyed his clan and shrugged, "We tried, I best go tell the master what happened..."

"We going back in?" Repaiup asked as he clambered back to his feet, "We could take them now we know."

"No," Vikris said shaking his head, "I will talk to the master, we've missed our chance, we can't interfere with the games of the Dark Knight in too many ways. Out in the swamps or on the beaches is one of the few places we can touch them."

"Well then," Touye said, "At least we got one new soul to tie to the clan," she stroked the egg and grinned, "He's going to be a fine kobold," the others moved over each one laying a scaled paw on the egg. Shy the hyena had left the game... his last turn was well and truly over.
