Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 188 Fooling the naive ones

A bonfire fueled by bones of dead monsters was lit up, males and females danced around it while kids ran around between the dancing couples, there was meat for roasting, some other newly introduced things like marshmallow and caramelized corn, and other snacks, there was food and drink passed around and shared, there was strange music that fit a battlefield, there were fights and quarrelling, there was mating, outward affection and all sort of things one can expect from a warring tribe.

They were honest people who stuck to their values and didn't care about hiding or shame if they loved they did not care about hiding it and if they had conflict they fought it over and forgot it by the time the fight was over, Yunan really appreciated such people. As the first guests in the history of the tribe, Debauchery was given the best wines, treated with the utmost passion and even got a few indecent proposals, the locals seemed to find this odd family to their liking especially the part were they just enjoyed doing everything.

As the luckiest guy in the place, Yunan was the centre of attention and got the most passionate welcome in the festival, with maidens and wives and old ladies bringing over food and drink, some even fought with Reina and Lili over the apparent monopoly they had on Yunan, although Yunan was not the type to drink alcohol or enjoy it like the rest of the adults, he still drank until he could no longer think, and just went along to whichever thing he was led to, mostly changing dancing partners as he spun and spun around the bonfire.

Not all the lizardmen were happy seeing their cuties flocking over to the same guy, he may have defeated the champion but he already had 6 girls taking turns in keeping guard and warding off the advances of the lizard girls. And so started an event that only Debauchery knew its cause, mainly it was a series of unfortunate events that helped brighten up the mood of the festival.

It all started with a male trying to trip Yunan while he was dancing with a partner, resulting in himself stepping on a mug, slipping and falling butt first and taking a knee to the face from his gentle partner, then a few other couples tumbling on him as they danced around the pyre.

The next guy attempted to outright disrupt a dance when a wild flying mug spilt the alcoholic drink inside all over the male resulting in a brilliant whoosh as fire engulfed the man, in an effort to save him he was pushed to the ground and trampled and doused with water, he too left the scene under the laughter of the crowd.

Now it has become apparent that Yunan could not be attacked sneakily, and so the unsatisfied group decided to try just once more for the sake of confirmation. The next victim was not as lucky as the other two since he had a knife in hand that he planned to scare Yunan with, at this point in the festival, Yunan was barely aware of what he was doing let alone be on guard, and so the crowd watched as a man drunkenly swaggered to Yunan and his dancing partner, produced a knife that swung in a perfect arc to stab into a chunk of meat and lift it from a passing plate, put the meat over the fire and plunge in there while trying to get the meat closer to the flames.

Those who did not know the ongoing scheme were thinking that these guys were so overjoyed from having guests livening up the festival that they drink too much and got themselves into such a hilarious event trying to show their gratitude. After this last occurrence the dissenting group was giving up on the thought of going against such a man until Bai and Balin popped up from behind them along with the roaring cry of an orcfilled the village "stop hogging all the beautiful cuties you bastard, I want a cute one to dance with me too".

That cry made the dissenting group change their minds and before they started to even think about the next plan they heard the voices of Bai and Balin "drunkenly" talk with great indignation.

"He is going to bed all of them again, isn't he, this happens every time we take him somewhere, last time he defiled 60 dwarven maidens in the time between midnight and sunrise". "Remember that time he got half the royalty to put on the green hats in the imperial city, I found out it was not just one city". "Alas, what do you expect from a man who got 6 girls to volunteer to be his sex slaves, the man is a beast in human skin", "I think you were working on the last feast we had, he actually seduced lady luck and lady love, according to what they were saying, they blessed him with a lovable presence and endless luck, it was a shock to find the bastard can never be harmed and will always get a lucky save and that he can even fart and get half a market to beg for his seed".

"Oh is that why those poor men got into such accidents, my heart melts for this tribe, his offspring will fill this village a year from now, I only wanted a maiden to cuddle with, even our party members, ladies older than trees are in his grasp". "Tsk tsk, if only there was someone brave enough to try the only way to stop him, but I fear if I stopped him today I will never lust for a woman again, the last one killed himself because he spent two days away from him, such a method is only for the bravest souls, I heard from lady love that his spell can only be broken by a man's kiss, however the man will bear the full power of the spell and be eternally enchanted by the bastard".

Bai and Balin stoked the fire in the lizardmen by making outrageous claims and coming up with secrets that would put a stop to such ungodly beast. And the poor naive men believed each word.
