Bleakbane Plays: AI Dungeon 2 · 2:44pm Jun 6th, 2020
So. AI Dungeon. Which is in the style of the old text adventure, that procedurally generates stuff in response to what you put in.
Heard about from Distortion Devil on the Role with Me stream and thought I couldn't not give it a shot for fifteen minutes. (Watched a couple of youtube videos first, then dived in.)
Here is the result:
You are Malexekor the Necromancer, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've been looking for. You look around and see bones everywhere, some decayed, some fresh... This is definitely where the Necromancer Lord made his home... And where he raised his undead hordes!
Suddenly, you hear some noise behind you...
> You summon Alluria the Succubus Paladin as your ally.
You turn around and see a tall, dark figure dressed in black leather armor with a silver mask covering the face. The figure draws a sword and runs towards you!> You stand behind Alluria the Succubus Paladin and let her fight the armoured figure while preparing your necrotic bomb spell.
Alluria the Succubus Paladin fights bravely with her longsword, but is no match for the dark figure's superior swordplay.> You wait for an opening while Alluria is fighting the dark figure and then shoot it in the face with a necrotic bomb.
You wait patiently for an opening while Alluria is fighting the dark figure, but she is not successful in killing him! Eventually, she is disarmed and wounded herself.> You shoot the dark figure in the face with a necrotic bomb.
The dark figure screams in pain as the bomb explodes inside his helmet! His screams are soon cut short... but not before you hear him say "Insolent mortal!" before he dies.> You tell Alluria to heal herself and then summon the dark figure's ghost for necromantic interrogation.
Alluria heals herself and then summons the dark figure's ghost for necromantic interrogation. She tries to learn more about the Necromancer Lord's plans by asking him questions, but he does not answer.> You take over the necromantic interrogation yourself and set the dark figure's soul on fire until it answers.
Alluria watches in awe as the dark figure's soul burns away until there is nothing left but ashes! She then tells you that she is ready to continue with her quest to kill Count Grey... But you have other plans!> You the other plans can wait, we'll kick Count Grey first.
You tell Alluria that Count Grey must be taken out first, because the vampire's minions are too many and too strong to take on now. She is surprised by your decision, but agrees with it nonetheless.> You have her teleport you both to Count Grey's location.
Alluria teleports both of you outside of Count Grey's fortress!
Count Grey stands upon the battlements, overlooking his domain.> You shout "oi, tosser!" and when he looks around blast him off the battlements with a spell.
Count Grey turns around and looks at both of you angrily! He raises his hand towards you, but stops himself from casting a spell. Instead, he calls down to you.
"Tell me who sent you!"> You knock him off the battlements with a spell.
You fire a beam of negative energy at Count Grey who falls off the battlements and into the courtyard below! He breaks his fall with some sort of magic shield he has, but you know he's still hurt!> You comment to Alluria "damn, I thought that was so going to work."
Alluria agrees with you, but suggests that perhaps you should go down to the courtyard and investigate what happened instead of teleporting back home like you wanted to do.> You bombard the courtyard with a barrage of necrotic bombs until Count Grey is reduced to ashes.
You hurl several rotting corpses at Count Grey who's lying on the ground! The corpses explode all over him but he's still not dead yet! He tries to cast a spell, but once again you interrupt him.> You attempt to slice his face off with a necrotic lance beam.
Count Grey attempts to raise his hands up to cast a spell at you, but fails and the beam hits him straight in the face! He falls backwards, blood spurting from his nose and mouth!> You shoot a continuous beam of negative energy ay him until he dies.
Count Grey attempts to cast a spell but fails once again! He collapses backwards, twitching slightly before finally expiring. You notice his body twitching for a few seconds after he's dead.> You high five Alluria.
Alluria high fives you back! Victory is at hand! Now all you have to do is take out the Vampire Lord!> You have Alluris cast protective spells againsy dominaion on both of you.
Alluria casts a spell that causes your skin to become very thick and inimical to spell effects! Dominaion spells have no effect on you or Alluria anymore!> You have Alluria teleport you to the Vampire Lord.
Alluria casts a teleportation spell, transporting you directly before Lord Rostov! He stands there, looking very bored, waiting for you to speak...
"Well?" he asks, impatiently.> You use a command Undead spell to take control of all of his undead minions and place them under your control.
Lord Rostov looks at you angrily as his undead minions begin to slowly shuffle towards him! He looks at Alluria, who stands there smiling sweetly at him...
"I have no idea what you're talking about,"> You have Lord Rostov's undead minions tear him apart, while Alluria and you have nice cup of tea.
All of Lord Rostov's undead minions tear him apart! His scream is very loud and long lasting! Allura's tea is cold by now, but she doesn't seem to care! She smiles at you warmly...> You tell her "I suppose we had better go rescue Illyphase the Erinyes Paladin from that demon lord, next."
"Yes," Allura says, smiling back at you, "we really should."
The pair of you walk out of Rostov Keep, towards the portal back home... The End.
(Note how it actually picked up that I misspelled Alluria once and correctly assumed it was a typo. It got it wrong it one or two other place,s but that's still quite impressive.
Also, that last line of Alluria's is hilarously in-character.)
This is a clever little bit of programming.
An old-school text adventure that's in the midst of being written while you're playing it? It's cool, although I've heard that it's bizarrely fond of incest.

Isn't it, though?
I shall go back and have another giggle or two later, when I've finished work for the day.
i mean, this is as close to roleplaying I've had for months and months and I can totally OP like a bandit and it'll be hilarious.
I'm honestly curious to see how big a party I can make it have (Illy is totally getting rescued later...!)
(It's still killing me how totally in character it is for Alluria to be taking it all in with a smile and its did that all by itself. Fracking priceless.
Seriously, though 'Luri, what kind of meatshield are you? You had one job!)

I can only point to humans and say "it's learning what it's being taught..."
Because OF COURSE people were going to teach it sex stuff...!
In all seriousness, I had read in the comments someone said that, and I deliberately picked Alluria (out of the large mob of the illy-adjacent magical-paladin girls (of whom recently just finished Saving The World From The Elders via X-Com 2)) out of curiousity just to see if it would react to her being titled as a succubus. (Which it didn't, but granted that does make for more comfortable Bleakbane reading and posting in general...!)
