"We'll see," is Dylan's reply as he starts to lead her towards the exit. There is indeed a cheap hotel in walking distance. The kind where they expect last minute arrivals due to delays or complications with other arrangements so there is always a room open. Of course, the quality of the room is about what one would expect for the price. Clean enough with a TV, a single bed, and a bathroom but that is about it and probably not worth thinking too deeply about what some of the discolored marks on the wall or carpet might be from. Still, that is serviceable enough for what needs to be done and Dylan plops his bags on the bed, starting to root around for items he will need as he looks at his companion. "Might want to start stripping now," he says, "this won't take long to set up. Oh and this may seem an odd time to ask but I never got your name, Ms..."
"Bullshit..." She whispers back. "A girl like her would never marry a man like you... Her father wouldn't allow it." She groans. "And you'll never be satisfied by one woman - I know your type." When no one's looking, she reaches over to touch his cock.
"Hehe, and a woman like you would never want to fuck a guy like me, right?" Mori teased, handing her earphone, that he plugs into his phone. "Mmh, try now to gasp too loudly, okay?" He chuckled as she grabs his hardening cock. Once Eloise puts on the earphones, he plays the audio of his and Helga's proposal cuttingnit off just as they discussed adding Laura and her mother.
"Stripping? Oh, just for the ritual, right?" She gives him a knowing smirk, before removing her uniform. "This enough for you?" The blonde poses against the wall. "Oh, and it's Layla, by the way."
Kelly didn't move, or try to cover herself. Instead, she breathed deep and the woman's scent filled her nostrils. Oddly, she felt complimented at the woman's comment on her slutty-ness rather than embarrassed; and then promptly felt ashamed at that realization. "I-I... yes I am." she replied to the mystery woman's question. At the mention of finding Max, Kelly struggled to rise into a sitting position, her muscles ached in exhaustion. "How?" she questioned before asking "Who are you."
Eloise actually doesn't gasp at all, though she goes red hearing the lustful noises, and she begins to rub his bulge. "Still, her father would never approve."
"No need to be ashamed." The woman smiles. "We're all embarrassed at first when we embrace our desires, but there's no reason for you to feel shame..." She caresses Kelly comfortingly. "I'm Vashanet'ir... But my friends call me Vasha, and I would so like for you and I to be friends..." She smirks. "I've been in the city, and I've seen your husband. He's been missing you dearly, but, you might care to learn - he's alive."
"Maybe, maybe not. He doesn't really have to know." Mori shrugs, grinning as she rubs his erection. Before shaking his head, "So am I said. I'm sorry, but I want to be loyal to Helga-chan." He said, grabbing her hand, and gently taking it away from his crotch. "I'm sure you'll be haply this way, right? Now we'll just be working as professionals."
'Alright, be quiet and follow me,' Luke told the others and got out a flashlight, started to descent into the secret passage.
Kelly had no reason to believe or trust the woman in front of her, but whether it be from hope, necessity, love or all of the above, she did. Tears welled up in Kelly's eyes before they started falling down her cheeks. She sobbed once then twice then. "Thank you! W-where is he? I need to see him please!" Lost was the concern of how this woman had seemingly stopped time.
The halls below aren't pleasant and luxurious like the upstairs. The lower level is a dark, dank labyrinth of cold stone. Moving by flashlight, the group manages to make it into a larger chamber. Spoiler: Awareness Roll D100: 74+10 It isn't sound or sight that alerts Luke, but smell. There's a thick odor in the air that makes him want to retch. Turning, he hears a violent snort, and then a huff of breath. Turning the flashlight, he sees a snout, and taut muscle, before he realises that something huge is charging directly at the group.
"You're planning to hide the fact that his daughter is married?" She rolls her eyes as he takes her hand away. "Alright, then, if that's what you want it. I'm sure your friend would be more than happy to oblige my needs instead." She looks across the aisle at the Tiger, who flashes the woman a charming smile.
'Minotaur! Get back!' Luke yelled at his group to get out of the way, he tried to dodge the beast's charge and get it away from the others, so they could attack it from two sides.
"Mhm. Helga-chan is a great girl after all, I doubt he'll notice." Mori chuckles, trying to play if cool how his plans was ruined by the bodyguard he brought. "Haah. Damn it. Fine, fine." He sighed, not really wanting to share his "loot." The smuggler reaches out to touch Eloise's thigh, "Alright, is that how you want to play it? I am a bit curious though. Did you do as I ordered?" He asked, his tone changing from playful, to stern as he whispered. His hand slowly making its way to her crotch.
"Oh, come here, sweetling." Vasha leans forward to embrace the teacher, not minding the cum covering Kelly's body. Her arms hug the beauty tightly to her, and Kelly's filled with reassurance and comfort, the closeness between the two women seeming to assure her that everything will be alright. "Don't cry... You'll see him soon." She wipes away Kelly's tears. "He's in a great temple, in the City of Set. He isn't in danger, but he's trapped. But don't worry, I'll help you free him."
Overwhelmed, Kelly hugged Vasha back. "T-thank you..." she whispered. After a moment, the wife shook her head, "W-wait trapped? Why? What's happened?"
Luke sees that he's guessed right. The beast looks straight out of an old myth, more than seven feet tall, and hundreds of pounds heavier than the strongest human, and every pound of that being tough sinew and muscle. Thanks to his forewarning, Luke is able to get out of the way, as is Mary and her male sergeant, but the rest of the troop isn't so lucky. The minotaur tears into the hapless paramilitaries, smashing half of them bodily across the room, before letting its axes slice through their unarmored bodies, though armor probably wouldn't be enough to stop the sheer kinetic force of such a beast.
Beatrice frowned. She got the answers she needed... But how to make them move... No, she couldn't remove them now. The one who hired them, could hire someone else... Yet, someone might rob the vault, before Beatrice's group was ready. She needed to act now. "Ahh... can I convince you somehow, to finish your guard?" She asked.
"Heh." She chuckles, pleased at having gotten one over on him, though it turns into a soft moan as he touches her. "You know I did..." She spreads her thighs.
"Shhh...Shhh... Don't worry..." Her voice sounds soothingly into Kelly's ear. "He walked into a trap. He was too inquisitive, and activated a curse in the temple designed to trap him and mold him into a priest of the old gods..." She smiles. "But don't worry, I've made and unmade such curses before. We can free him as soon as you find him. All I want in return from you, is a simple promise..."
