It seems that discussion has broken down.

How do you think Julia's mother should respond to her unruly daughter?

Despite the smiling faces of the Chimps, Oo-KeeKee scrunches up her face in dissatisfaction. She'd heard so many times what to do, when to do it, how to do it, she was absolutely sick of it. That's why she left in the first place.

Ash belongs to @missfahrenheit1948.bsky.social which she's been very generous to allow me to use her for this series a while back

Poor Ash is unable to help with her magic restraining collar and the Sister's possessing of her lamp.

Will the girls be able to face down just a part of this enigma of an organization? What are their true goals? Will they be in the sequel game?

Mira maybe embarrassed as her outfit begins to ride up something fierce. However she's more than determined to use her ice magic.

The shards of ice protecting her as she readies to battle magic with the Sister in front of her!

The air is filled with the sounds of clanging steel. Every time a sword gets ready to strike, a bullet is right there to parry it away. Cynthia leaping backwards as she masterfully hits her marks with her prized "Millennium Revolvers".

Britt chuckles as she elegantly avoids the swinging blades narrowly slashing her. She loves any chance she can get to show off her dancing. The only downside is not being able to see her enemy grow frustrated, which Britt relishes.

Val is really gonna get her swordsmanship tested against one who doesn't even bother to swing with her own arms. Of course, Val is more than ready for the challenge!

She's been itching for a good fight like this!

After much muffled negotiation, a trade was established. The Chimps hoot and cheer in glee, before Oo-KeeKee cuts the poor woman out of the tree and the silk.

Chimps are mischievous creatures but not without compassion. Afterall this young woman was ensnared by a spider in the jungle, thankfully they were around to chase the spider off...however...

They do require repayment before Oo-KeeKee will cut her down with her knife...

While the Monke are a calm and peaceful creatures, they are willing to defend their maiden unless an agreement is made.

If the girls decided to actually try and take Cherry by force, the Monkes have a champion on their side ready to defend their maiden.

"It reeks of banana peels and fleas", Britt exclaims as she covers her nose.

"Calm down, Britt, as long as we reason with them they should let Cherry go." Cynthia calmly replied.

The Monke look at the group with curiosity as they deliberate on how best to approach this.

They have taken Cherry for a "sacred" position of Banana Maiden. While she's allowed to sit on the throne and given comforts, she must wear the "sacred garment" and serve the Monke their special bananas.

They picked her for looking cute and for being soft to touch.

Cynthia is the gunslinger of the group. Easily the most level headed of the group and the oldest. She has been given offers to join other groups but she likes the group she's with. She used to perform in a traveling circus with her former girlfriend, The Amazing Alluring Alice.

Mira is the "Modest Mage". She didn't realize until she left to adventure that the best outfits for her magic were...quite lewd. She's actually able to cast some decently powerful spells for her level, though she gets easily flustered and loses concentration.

Britt is the vain dancer of the group. She's able to give buffs with her amazing moves, when she's up to it. She tends to be a bit of a loudmouth and act spoiled. She also has a habit of going ahead of the group to get treasures first...ends about as well as you expect.
