Mindlessly, the researcher obeys. Spoiler: Awareness Roll D100: 78 (Pass) The door opens, and on the other side, Natasha sees: nothing. Well, not nothing, there's an immense spherical chamber, with stairs leading to a raised platform with pillars rising from it, decorated with artworks that are too hard to make out from this distance. Strangely, the roof is decorated in artistic patterns that swirl and glow with incandescent light. She's not sure exactly where the light's coming from. It's not sunlight, since it's night time, and they're too far underground. It's not fire, either, and it doesn't look like electric lighting. As she's pondering, though, Natasha hears a growl from behind her. She turns on a dime to spot the creature from before, and opens fire. Spoiler: Combat Roll D100: 49+20 (Combat Skill)=69 (Nice...) Spoiler: Monster's combat Roll D100: 98 (Crit) The beast moves forward at unbelievable speeds, armor deflecting the AK's rounds. A swift slash cuts the rifle in half, and a punch sends Sonya sprawling as she tries to help. Drawing her pistol, Natasha tries to think of what to do.
“Alright, now explain to me who – or what – that was. Also, anything else in this place I need to know about? More ghosts, or hidden areas, or whatever?” Miriam inquired once they were away from the hole in the floor.
Getting out of the house is child's play - and to make things better, the guard from before has been replaced by the next shift, the new guy not even looking up as Mori leaves, since he's worried about people entering the community, not leaving it. Spoiler: Awareness Roll D100: 8 (Crit Fail) Back in Kabukicho, Mori has a pep in his step, confident and pleased after dominating two beautiful young women, and it shows. Hostesses, Soapland girls and barkers all approach him, seeing him as a rich mark. So distracted is he, in fact, that he fails to notice Kaneda's lieutenant out on collection detail with his men. Nor, when he enters an alley to take a shortcut to the old man, does he notice the yakuza entering the alley on both sides. "Yo, Mori-kun!" The bald lieutenant grins, approaching Mori. "You have a good time today? Mission accomplished?" His grin widens, and Mori can't help but notice the way his body is built: a boxer's heavy physique. "Ain't the Kaneda family lucky, having a guy like you around?" The Kaneda thugs chuckle, as the lieutenant gets closer.
Natasha jump away from the monster shooting in his knees, hoping to immobilised him, ewen the best armor must have a weak points to be able to move. Suddenly, she noticed some gems in monster armor. It could be possible... "I comand you to stand down!" She grab artifact and give order to Monster.
"That was the beast." Taia says. "A monster from the Greek islands the old owner of this house bought, before I got here. As for anything else, just one. There's this guy that comes in here sometimes, kinda cute, actually. But there's something off about him, like he's got a lot of power. From what I've overheard from the other tresspassers here, he likes to trick or goad people into coming here through scary stories, before the beast gets them."
"Heathen bitch..." Gregoire grunts, before lifting his mail and gambeson, freeing his hard length. Without warning or preparation, he penetrates her ass, letting her feel every inch. "I don't need to rush. Your city is burning, not mine. I can play with you, before you break." He fucks her ass hard.
"Hmm? Oh, it's you, what'dya want?" Mori raised an eyebrow, a little worried that he's surrounded on both sides. He instinctively looks for another way out, "Yeah, well, they only have me cause they pay me. Money makes the world go round, and my belly's shaped like a circle." He replied, patting his fat gut. "So, what is it you want? Gonna escort me back to the old man?"
“I see... well, I am not in the mood for trying to tame a beast, so let's just stay away from it. What can you tell me about the guy you mentioned? What does he look like?” Miriam inquired, curious if the guy could be the same one that had sold her the map the previous day.
" Spoiler: Does it work?" D2: 2 (Yes) Mere inches away from landing a destructive blow at her face, the creature stops moving, lowering its weapon.
"Oh, you only work for money? Where's the loyalty, Mori-kun?" The lieutenant draws closer. Spoiler: Awareness Roll D100: 70 Looking around, Mori spots a door leading into the back of a massage parlor, that he thinks is unlocked. There's also a pipe he could try to climb. Otherwise, his only other option is to try and barge through the hardened yakuza. "The old man's currently indisposed. He's spending some time with a certain female athlete I introduced him to, and if the blue pills do anything, they're going to be spending a long time together." The lieutenant grins. "So why don't we hang out a little, Mori-kun? Paint the town red? Maybe you'll feel more like you're part of the family." He goes to wrap his arm around Mori's shoulder.
"Pretty handsome. Dusky skin, youngish looks, though he can't be young, since he's been coming here for gods know how long." She decribes the man from the general store.
Natasha let's go sigh of relief as her theory it worked up. Damit, that was weirdest experience what she ever have. She help Sonya stand up. "Well... It look like now I have control to this monster..." She said and look at researcher who hidden himself behind one of pillars. "You can get out, it is safe now. Go and check this chamber, for clues what we are looking for." She command him and turn to Monster. "Can you talk? Or you some kind of golem, made to protect one place? Where I can find city of set?"
"Heh. Loyalty doesn't really feed me." Mori replied with a smile, discreetly thinking about his options. The back door to a massage place, yeah I think that's the employee entrance, so it should be open. The pipe... urgh, I doubt I can out run these goons with my atheletic abilities. But then, as the lieutenant spoke, he raises an eyebrow. "Oh? It sounds as if you aren't doing this of your own accord. I wonder, if you even feel like being part of the family?" He asked, smiling as he tried to check on his sixth sense if these guys planned to kill him.
“Ah, him. I met him earlier, when I went to buy a map of the area. He warned me about this place – but in light of what you just told me I guess he was really trying to get me to come here. I think I will avoid shopping in his store again, at least for a while.” Miriam decided, a bit annoyed with herself for getting tricked so easily – though she had to admit to herself that she likely would have come here even without the guy's story about the ruin. “Now then, let's talk about you. Can you leave this place now that you have Melinda's body, or is there anything that would force you to stay here?”
"Heathen bitch..." Gregoire grunts as the heathen wench denied him again. He smirked - he had just something to break those kinds of stubborn bitches. Her reached out for a bag with a powder and covered his hands and dick with it. He took the powder from the Italian witch and used it on her. The rich widow quickly broke and sang everything he wanted to know. By the time he was finished with wench, the witch was in the hands of inquisition and he received quite a nice part of her confiscated fortune It had absolutely no effect on the male body, but on female's body... well... It increased the heat and sensitivity of the body and made the skin that came in contact with the powder itch. By the time he finished fucking her ass, she will be begging to fuck her pussy. Of course, the powder was not that strong and different bodies reacted differently... but he was sure, that if he put his effort to it, he would break the bitch. It would be a finishing touch over his victory over Zaid. In a way, it was a pitty that he would ruin such a fine looking woman... but on the other hand, her daughter was sure more submissive and younger... better looking as well. If she kept her mother's looks, she would make a fine bed warmer in the future. "Yhm~" A low moan escaped Emel, as he slid his fingers over her labia, then he shoved his fingers deep into her pussy. He shoved his fingers deep inside her a few times, making sure that the powder was spread properly. The heathen wench even started thrusting lightly her hips, trying to unconsciously ride his fingers! Finally, Gregoire removed his fingers - which by this time were covered with her sex juices. With a smirk, he grabbed her by the hair shoved his dick into her asshole. "Aiii!" The woman howled, but he could easily detect the pleasure in her voice. It seemed that she might have enjoyed not only his fingers but also the spanking he gave her. With a little test, he slapped her ass, leaving some powder on it. Slap! "Ah~" Again, there was marked pleasure there... and soon, she will be yearning for more. With a chuckle, Gregoire started slamming his dick into the woman's ass, disregarding her uncomfortable grunts. She would get used to it soon enough. He grabbed her tits and gave them a squeeze - a low whimper escaped her as he toyed with her tits, spreading the powder, spreading it over her skin. Slap! "Uh!" Her ass squeezed him nicely as his hand landed on her other asscheek. The crusader smirked. He would enjoy breaking the bitch. He would enjoy playing the long game and slow inevitable victory. Slap! "Ah~!" The slut's screams were music to his ears.
Kelly hesitated for a brief moment in thought. She didn't want to reveal her possession of her husband's journal, if Michael requested it in trade she'd be unwilling to part with it. But his last suggestion had her spring at the opportunity. "My companions and I recently arrived from a discovery in Istanbul. If you'd like we'd be more than happy to trade our information for permission to enter your dig site." "And I completely understand your safety concerns." she added. "If you'd find it more permissible, I'm willing to agree to going down without my companions to mitigate any risk; further, I'll agree to any chaperone you deem necessary. Naturally I'll follow any and all security precautions you feel are warranted. You and your men will be in compete control of me for as long as I'm down there. Fair?"
"Oh, Mori-kun." The man slips an arm around Mori's shoulders as though they're good friends. "I don't feel like being part of the family. I feel like running the family." Spoiler: Awareness Roll D100: 21 Unfortunately, the lieutenant has a good poker face, and Mori isn't sure if the guy wants to kill him right now. "Listen, Mori... A guy like you was probably successful on your mission, right?" He chuckles. "Why don't you show us the things you got for Boss Kaneda, before we head out?"
The researcher hesitantly moves further into the chamber with Fatima. The creature, however, doesn't say a word.
"I can leave - and I plan to." Taia announces. "Spirits are bound to the place of their death, but a spirit with a body is free to go anywhere the body can."
