Hmm... I think I'll try to find the bandits' camp, just to know where they are for when we decide to take them out. But I'll avoid engaging them. Unless it is a lone bandit, in which case I might have some fun... Osa decided and headed into the forest.
With her curse set, Osa went to the forest - her target clear. Spoiler: Encounter 5 Osa stopped, as she noticed something in front of her. She made it to the tree, and carefully, looked from the trunk, to see what it was. Hidden, by the trees, she saw some sort of building...
What do we have here? Osa looked around to make sure she was alone and in no danger, then focused on examining the building, trying to figure out what it was and if there were any people there.
Spoiler: ? 68 - fail Osa examined the building, but from where she was, she could not tell much about it. She could see part of its wall and roof, she could tell it looked solid, made of large wood trunks... but she could tell not much besides it. Not from where she was...
Some sort of log cabin? I need to take a closer look, see if there's any way to peek inside... Alert for any danger and trying to be quiet Osa moved closer to take a better look at the building.
Osa carefully sneaked closer, making sure she was as quiet as possible. Spoiler: Awareness 43 - success She reached the wall, and carefully slid alongside it. She peeked inside to check the building - only to find ruin inside. The building looked abandoned, the door was opened, the inside was a mess. She could not see or hear anything at all... her senses told her that no one was there.
Hmm, just a ruin, it seems... still, I'll take a look inside. Maybe I'll find some clue who used to live here, or something they left behind. Osa decided. She remained alert and kept searching for any danger, though – even with no one inside an old ruin could be dangerous simply due to all the damage time had caused.
As she moved around, she realised that it's not one building, but instead a complex. Three buildings and a warehouse all connected by the wall. The gates were left wide opened and the roofs were damaged in a couple of places. This places must have been abandoned for some years already. Spoiler: search 98 - great failure Osa walked inside the 'largest living building'. She entered the empty chamber and looked around. It looked as if this was some kind of inn, considering all the remnants of tables laying around - and a few good ones. It might take some time, but something might actually have survived all those years. With that in mind, Osa decided to check the rooms upstairs. She started walking up when suddenly something jumped on her - completely surprising her. Osa, fell down, trying to dodge as something scratched her cheek. Painfully, she rolled down the stairs, then rolled on the floor. She got on her knees facing... an escaping squirrel. Cursing, she relaxed and started getting up- Spoiler: Awareness 41 - minor success Her senses screamed at her. She moved to dodge but fell a sudden pain on her left ass-cheek. But then it let go. She rolled some more and turned... facing a snake, that hissed at her. She realised, that if she had not dodged, it would ram straight into her pussy. Already, she could feel the pain starting to pulse on her asscheek.
Crap, that was careless of me! Even as she thought that Osa lunged at the snake, trying to cut it down before it could strike again. (Funny thing, I just came up with an enchanted snake enemy for something unrelated.)
{huh... similar minds...} Spoiler: Osa's attack 72 +20 - close failure It was a close attack - the snake barely managed to escape, dodge Osa's swipe. But a second Osa missed it longed forward- Spoiler: Snake's attack 21 - success "AH~!" An exclamation escaped Osa as she felt the snake's teeth dig into her right breast. Spoiler: Snake vs Osa 65 vs 47 - Osa's win A moan escaped Osa as she felt poison injected into her flesh. The moment the snake let go of her tit and tried to slide into her clothes, she grabbed it by the tail- Spoiler: Osa vs Snake 98 vs 45 - Osa's greater lose The snake flexed its body and bit Osa's hand, making her drop it down.
Are you fucking kidding me! How am I having this much trouble with a snake! Osa cursed as she lunged again at the critter, trying to take it out before the effects of the snake's poison were felt.
Osa cursed as she could feel the heat spreading from the bite points. Spoiler: Osa's attack 13+20-10 - great success Osa lunged forward - with a swift swipe she caught the lizard by the neck. She gave a savage smile as she healed the snake by the neck and took a closer look at it- "Let meee gooo, you overgrownnn apee!" The angry snake hissed out.
Normally Osa would have stopped to wonder how a snake was able to talk. But right now she was too pissed off to care. “First you attack me, then you insult me. You must be really tired of living, huh?” Osa grinned viciously and proceeded to murder the serpent without hesitation, then headed back to the village to report what she had found – she had no desire to deal with any more snakes, talking or not. (Wasn't sure what the best way to murder the snake would be, so did not describe it in detail.)
"You scareddd away myy meal, you brutish-gha!" The snake gave a choke as Osa finished it off with a snap. Osa dropped the snake's carcass and started making her way back... She managed to make a couple of steps, as she felt heat... lust spreading over her body. She gave a soft moan, as she felt her sex juices start flowing down her thighs... Spoiler: endurance 26 - success Osa's body was covered with sweat, as she continued on, swaying with each step, her body becoming more and more sensitive. Finally, breathing heavily, Osa managed to finally come into sight of the village. Her nipples were erect, her tits swelled and her pussy drenched. She kept more or less clear mind, but she needed something to scratch that itch soon!
Shit! Stupid snake and her stupid aphrodisiac poison! Let's see if Kiyoshi is free – time to find out how long her tongue really is... If not, then one of the slaves will have to do. Osa decided as she continued moving toward the village and tried to locate her fellow kunoichi.
As Osa started making her way to the village, stumbling on the way. Spoiler: ? 83 Her mind went into a haze... she blinked and she realised that she made it to the stream, where Li Zan was filling buckets with water. Spoiler: control 30 Osa's legs shivered as she looked at the man. She felt a sudden need to feel him inside... she was ready to jump him... but she quickly regained her control...
Osa shook her head and tried to focus – she was a kunoichi, she had enough self control to resist the poison's effects and no jump the first guy she saw! Stopping some distance away from the man Osa called out to him “Excuse me! Sorry to bother you, but have you seen Kiyoshi? I need to speak with her.”
"Yeah, last I saw her she was in her house." Li Zan turned to her, then paused. "You alright? You don't look too good..."
“I'll be fine, don't worry about it. But thank you for your concern. See you later!” Without further delay Osa headed toward Kiyoshi's house.
"Of course." The man nodded. "I need to go check on the slaves - those sluts need to be reminded who holds their leashes." Spoiler: Control 55 - minor failure "Yhm~" A moan escaped Osa, as she imagined herself being at the mercies of the civilian in the position of one of the slaves. She bit her lip, as a small orgasm shook her body. "Hey, you sure you are alright." Osa blinked as the man walked up to her. "You don't look good..." He frowned. "I will escort you to Kiyoshi." He reached out to support Osa.
