Leveling the Village

Catching them and keeping them still was one thing. Making them put on the armor was another. I rolled my eyes and waited for them to get together. Now that they had the armor and weapons, they could go. I told them to split up to see what they could find and bring back. They nodded and set out in different directions. The blacksmiths got back to work for the day and I left them to it. I was not let down when 5 of them came back with some loot a few days later. They had some gold and materials for magic items. I praised them a bit and told them to bring the loot to their tribe chiefs. "You deserve to have a breeding party thrown for you. You've earned it." I said. They seemed to enjoy that as they ran home. I was invited to the parties, but I declined. There was no way they were impregnating me. Epsilon was not interested in going to the tribes either. When they came to the tower to get us, we knew the jig was up. We were going to have to go. All of the protectors came with us. I made sure to inform them of the possible danger. The adventurers were really enjoying breeding their pick.
