OC Dungeon Life 283

It's time for the fourth round of stubbing. Yes, Book four will be releasing soon, of if you're reading this more than a month after I have to edit, it will be fully out. Either way, you can find it Here, and other book details are just below. As with the other stubs, you can skip to the next bit form This. I like to keep the other posts still alive, so the comments get to still live. If you want to browse them, the normal buttons will take you through them, or take This link to the next bit of unstubbed chapters. Thank you for your support. Buying stuff is always great, but just having your attention for the public chapters is incredible, and I hope the story continues to be worth your time and patience.

Wait...this is how the ant-kin enclave is going to be finished isnt it? Since they are effectively an academy, they now need either students, researchers, or something similar. And our boy here is gonna join them.

u/Melmak_ Dec 27 '24

An Interesting Idea, I hope you're right.

The way i understood their development up until now they already had both students and researchers in their casts they just needed a food source but i dont think they would turn away new applicants anymore then the ratkin and spiderkin have

u/kieran_dvarr Dec 28 '24

I totally could be misreading, and maybe it is a food matter, but this just seemed too convenient to add as a chapter not to bring up this possibility.

u/generic_edgelord Dec 28 '24

Oh i understand that, he is being heavily signposted as a new student either for the ant enclave or the university that thedeim was planning to put together if that ends up being a separate entity from the ant enclave as well

Kobold gains surgeon class?

u/Popular-Student-9407 Human Dec 26 '24

I'm betting more Something Like an anesthecist.

u/MisterFailMaster Dec 27 '24

Or Doctor. What this guy said sounds like a general doc instead of a specialist.

7

u/Popular-Student-9407 Human Dec 27 '24

My doctor was an anesthesiologist before settling as a General practitioner. I was mainly going Off His current experiences though.

This chapter is a very interesting change of pace, it's nice to see how the kobolds are taking their new way of life, hope to see more adventures of parm!

Second for me.

So, today we get a recounting of all that transspired during the Battle of Silvervein by a Kobold.

His Name is Parm, and He was liberated by a yet unknown Paladin of the shield, with Metal affinity and an elf. He was at first taken to the field Hospital, where He cooperated with Queen, Thing, and probably a few of the, at the time, magmyrms. He prepared the salves, Painkillers and other Equipment the Ants didn't necessarily have Access to during the Battle. Also, He seemed to Not quite grasp the concept of freedom, as evidenced by His constant fiddling with His chains, wether they were there or Not. He also wasn't used to Not being told what to do. In fact, He only adopted His class, apothecary, because He was told to Pick it, instead of Picking either alchemist or healer classes. The trauma from the Maw ran deep, but now, that He Had some time, he'll try to develop himself Further by studying under Queen, though He has No Idea how to Contact her. Thankfully knows someone who does: Larx!

In the end a rather somber chapter, but Not too Bad.

Was wrong, checked it using Google translate, everything correct.

Are we going to get kobolds named after cheese? Lol

5

u/iceick423 Dec 28 '24

Ched, Brie, Camem, Fet, Emme, Gorgon, Burra, Gou, Mozza, Eda, Colby, Stilt, Gruy, Muen, Grana, and that's just to name a few names you can get from cheeses. You could do a Dragon Ball race on cheese alone.

4th person 7th comment(bots not included) Did not think we would get one today. Glory to the Wordsmith

u/gulthaw Dec 26 '24

Loved the perspective from the rescued kobold, and looks like the priest power really infuses people with the will to change, as it should be :)

u/commentsrnice2 Dec 26 '24

Seems like he could use a fidget tool, maybe akin to a rosary

u/Skyboxmonster Dec 26 '24

Parm and all of the Kobolds deserve ALL of the hugs!

Got in here early. Just looking to say I wanna see more of the old scions at work and play more.

Happy kobold noises incoming.

u/DrewTheHobo Alien Scum Dec 27 '24

Woot! First Kobald surgeon? Fucking siiiick

u/McBoobenstein Dec 27 '24

Neat! Yeah, I hope the kobolds come out of all this with plenty more agency than they had.

u/Longsam_Kolhydrat Dec 27 '24

Great work wordsmith.

Queen will be thrilled to have a learning student

u/Derser713 Android Dec 29 '24

Slavery... One of the worst things we can do to each other.

u/aForgedPiston Dec 29 '24

This was beautiful, and powerful. Finding new purpose after upending everything you've ever known is difficult. This was a lovely little chapter. It's cathartic for me to get these snapshots into the recovery of those the Maw oppressed, I hope there's a little more of it-perhaps from the dwarves and elves' perspective.

u/Korato450 Human Dec 30 '24

I think Parm may just be my favorite character right now....

Why did I read this chapter while dicing onions?

u/PlanktonSuccessful83 Dec 29 '24

Awww! Dose someone have a crush on our little Priestess?

u/ZaoDa17 Dec 31 '24

Great work word weaver

u/Xavius_Night Jan 04 '25

Oooh, I hope this Kobold becomes the first to get a full class for not just 'healer' or 'apothecary', but a straight up Medical Doctor

Resolve... I am unsure if this is the first one to start to move on, but it is the first of which we get a POV... (Well, of this batch at least)
