Natasha hop off creature, roll on the ground to slow down impact of hitting and getting up. She throws out useless now AK and smile wilder like madness. "Ha, how did you like that, fat worm?! Let's mumy kiss you." She said and take off her backpack and use it like shield to charge again on creature, push away monster legs and throw granate for monster and jump away from impact.
Kelly nodded and lowered her hands to readjust her top. "Thank you for the word of caution." she said gratefully "I'll be careful." She motioned for the convoy to advance and resumed her seat beside Michael when his vehicle stopped to pick her up. "They'll let us pass, but caution us not to stay too long. Apparently the city is... dangerous." She thumbed her wedding ring once the vehicle began moving again. With the warning of Vasha and another from the elderly man her worry about Max was growing.
Spoiler: Combat Roll D100: 46+20=66 The monster charges forward, but is taken off guard by Natasha's sheer strength. Forcing the grenade into the beast's wound, Natasha jumps away, before an explosion rings out, sending bits of fried millipede flying across the room. "What... What the..." Max is stunned, and completely confused, standing dumbly with a bit of charred bug meat in his hair. Gained Magic - Strength of Humility (+10 to physical attacks while naked)
"So's New York. Let's go." Michael shrugs as she returns, but turns to her. "You did good, though." He gives her a smile. The cars drive through the huge gates, but don't go far, ending up atop a great tower on the other side. What Kelly sees as she looks out the windshield stuns her utterly. That can't be possible. She saw satellite footage of the area, and nothing even close to a city like this was visible. As she gazes, she realises that it's nonetheless real - a city the size of London or LA, out in the middle of the desert, somehow perfectly preserved. There's an eerie silence as she looks out at the streets from above. Everything else about the city looks like it's populated - looking in one of the rooms in the tower she even finds some fresh fruit on a tray, but there's no people anywhere. Looking around, she spots three buildings of interest in the vicinity of the entrance: A huge covered bazaar that makes the one in Istanbul look like a flea market, a massive palace, and a large temple structure, the architecture a weird esoteric mix of Egyptian, European, Asian and Islamic influences. She remembers Vasha saying something about her husband being trapped in the temple.
Natasha jump away from explosion and laught for spreading pieces of bug everywhere. She rise her hands in victory mark and hop of joy! " Oh yeah! I did it!! I made it up! Eat that you piece of dead worm!" She laught and dance circles, until she noticed stare of Max. Suddenly, she realized that she was still naked for view of men and quickly she cover her breast and pussy, red from shame and embarrassed. " Umm... Yeh... So... So better let's check area for something interesting. In games there is always loot after deafening big monster." She said still feeling hot. (I added new magic skill to my character card)
Taking note of her attempt to ignore him, he makes sure to "accidentally" touch her every so often. Making sure her arousal had no chance of dying down until they arrived in Egypt. He heads out with his group, "Let's look for accomodations first. We can scout the ruins after a good rest." He nods, grinning at Eloise.
"There." Kelly pointed in the direction of the temple. "We ne- I need to go there." she'd stop herself realizing that she didn't really care where Michael and his thugs went. But if Vasha was somehow real and what she said was true, that was the most likely place she'd find Max.
Luckily, Max doesn't seem to be looking at her lustfully - he's still too confused by everything that just happened. Looking around, she spots a glimmer against the wall, and sees a sword hanging on a rack. The blade is perfectly preserved, and seems to shimmer with the same type of power Natasha feels within her.
Eloise pretends that she's unfazed, as they quickly find a small hotel in a town not far from Karnak, where they're headed.
Making an excuse on 'saving up on travel expenses' Mori books two rooms, one for the brothers, and one for him and Eloise. Though his lustful grin was more than a good give away on what he planned. Once he and the milf were all alone. "Strip. I want to see your lingerie properly." He hummed, licking his lips as he removes his clothes.
Natasha take sword from the wall and swing it few times. It was a little different from knive combat, but she feels some kind of conection to blade. She take sword with herself, also AK. Ewen broken, it still can shoot. "Right... That is nice. Okey, I don't see anything more here, so let's go to that pervert priest." She said covering her breast.
Heading down the great steps, the party ventures into the city. Michael doesn't argue against her word - he has no reason to, since Kelly is his guide - and the group of gangsters move along behind them. "Fuck..." She hears one of them say, as they walk through winding streets and alleys. "My head's killing me..." "I don't like this place... Feel like I'm being watched, you know?" Another man utters, before Michael tells him to shut up. Kelly begins to realise that something, some ominous feeling, is beginning to effect the gangsters. Which is weird, since she doesn't feel it at all. Finally, she enters the great temple, after hearing chanting that stopped as soon as she got inside. She sees some paths leading downwards to the left and right, as some of the gangsters begin to experience splitting migraines.
"Asshole..." Eloise grunts, but she does as he says, and soon he sees her black lingerie, a lacy bra/panty combo with garter straps and stockings. "So...?"
Natasha sees the passage where she spotted the priests behind her, but there's also a path leading behind the dead monster, in the opposite direction.
"I don't suppose any of you have first aid training?" she half asked, half stated. She looked inside the temple then back at the men. Having an escort would be nice, but some of them looked like they couldn't take another step. "Strange-" she thought "-I don't feel anything at all. I wonder..." She turned to Michael "I have a feeling Max is inside, and I need to look for him. I'd prefer not to go in here alone, but it looks like some of your men are in no condition to continue. Maybe it'd be best for the ill to be taken back to the city gates and wait for us there? Those that are well enough can keep going. If we have radios we can keep in contact that way." she proposed. "Who knows if they get better traveling back they could explore other areas of the city. Who knows what else is here."
"In this damit maze you can't be sure what is real or what illusion." She said to hersellf and go to passage in opposite direction with Max. "By the way, what skills do you have? Only science or some combat too? Did you ever shoot of the gun?" She asked tried to forget about her embrassed state. Something telling her that she would have to get used to this, but she refused to accept that.
"Alright." Michael nods, though he seems a little annoyed at the uselessness of his men. He calls out several of them by name, commanding them to head back.
They enter a long hallway that seems to cut through the middle of the library. "I-uh, not really." Max says sheepishly. "I'm a historian, mainly, not a fighter. I guess... I was held captive by some gangsters not that long ago, and I managed to sneak away from them while they were asleep, so I guess I have some skill in stealth, I guess..."
"Very nice." Mori hums, as he strips down, and starts rummaging through his luggage. "Now. You get to wear, this." He said, as he pulls out a black leather dog collar. "A perfect accessory to finish your outfit, don't you think so, slave?" He teased, pulling out a leash as well. The smuggler approaches her, smiling. "Kneel." Giving her a firm order as he stands in front of her.
