Taia wastes no time undressing, guessing that she'll be naked soon, anyway. "Well, there's a few ways. One way that anyone can do magic is through rituals, gathering ingredients and positioning runes to curse or summon. But, to be able to see if you can use sorcerous powers unaided, we need to do a little test."
Eloise coughs and gasps for air, saliva and cum running from her mouth as she takes great gulps of oxygen. "F-Fuh..."
Kelly's words echo through the library, but only silence answers her. She can't even hear Max anymore, meaning she doesn't know what his answer was to Michael's offer.
Energized to an almost frantic state, Kelly started running in the direction she thought she'd heard Max from.
Spoiler: Persuasion Roll D100: 86 Max looks like he's going to grab for the phone, but he relaxes. "Fine." He sighs. "Hmph..." The gangster shrugs. "If you trust your wife so much, you'll look at the videos..."
Miriam nodded in approval, happy to see that she did not need to order Taia to get naked. “Tell me about this test.” She encouraged as she too undressed.
'Your help would be appreciated,' Luke nodded, his face still flushed, 'Is there something you want in return?'
Natasha get tired of gangster speeches, so to shoot him down she press his phone right into his mouth, using rope to gag him in place. "So, what is your decision to him? If you are not able to do, I will be one to kill him" She said with hand on her breast and sword in another.
Climbing down from the shelf she's perched on, Kelly begins her sprint through the library, but in her frantic state, she quickly gets lost amongst the innumerable rows, and forgets to keep a look out for monsters. She stops in her tracks as she finds her path blocked by two buxom women, kneeling submissively at the feet of a huge monster - a troll of some sort. The troll snorts, smelling Kelly's scent, before beginning to move towards her.
"Enjoy yourself, pet?" He asked with a grin, leaning forward to attach the leash to her collar. Mori looks at their hotel room, to see if they had a veranda, or a window that could see outside.
"It's a ritual, to send you back in time. To my time." She explains. "There, at the Great Temple of Nane, you'd do the same ritual my mother and I did, to awaken our abilities. If you fail though, you might not be able to come back."
"I want nothing, sweetling." Vasha smiles and sits down on the bed next to him. "Nothing but my enemy's death, and for you to remain alive."
"I..." Max isn't able to complete his sentence. Spoiler: Combat Rolls Michael: 44 Natasha: 17+20 Through force alone, the gangster bolts up, having untied the clothing around his hands and feet while Max and Natasha were talking about the phone. "See you soon!" He shouts, as he scurries off amongst the great bookshelves.
“Hmm, that sounds quite dangerous... but also exciting. Plus, life would be really boring if we never took chances and always played it safe. Alright, tell me everything I need to know about this ritual – and about this Great Temple of Nane. I want to be as prepared as possible.” Miriam didn't hesitate at all before agreeing to it.
Natasha grab her gun and shoot gangster to his back, dragging Max after her, to not let them split up.
"Wrong turn." Kelly thought to herself when she came upon the trio. This entire place was like a labyrinth, and clearly full of impossible mythical creatures. A stray question of why the two women seemed so submissive entered her mind but it was quickly tossed aside as she was forced to deal with her current dilemma. Unlike the Minotaur, this time Kelly wasn't as phased but the troll was blocking her path. As the brute lumbered towards her, she looked for a way to dart past it and when she thought she spotted one she tried to make it through the perceived gap.
"I agree." Taia smirks. "The temple, in its day, had a connection to the gods. Those who they chose would be imbued with powers. What type of powers, depends on what gods. If the gods don't find you worthy, you'll be rejected outright, with no powers at all. If they do find you worthy, then you'll gain new powers, and have to test them out in the temple, to prove that you can use them properly. It's impossible to say what the course will be - the gods reshape the temple to suit each individual potentate."
Spoiler: Combat Roll D100: 35+20=55 (Minor Success) She sees the bullet hit the fleeing gangster in the arm, and hears him cry out in pain, but he manages to continue to run out of sight.
'We can agree on that, Vasha,' Luke said, 'How can you help me to find the city? Have you found it yet? You must've come to these ruins for a reason.'
