Fed up with the priestess's attempt to hide in the box, the party devotes itself to prying her from her makeshift lair. As her spells seem to have little effect, Albali instead begins using her living hair to try to drag the swollen human through the tiny hole she'd made. Xarithe, seeing what was going on, rakes the woman with another jet of flame, singing red hair and charring her clothing almost to the point of falling off before getting out of the way. Alas, with the fairy making such a bulge in the enemy's stomach, the priestess (squawking indignantly) gets stuck fast in the window. Albali sets her feet and begins to pull with all her might, feeling Gorun's hands on her shoulders helping add his strength to hers, and that's just enough. With a wet popping sound, the priestess gets hauled from her oven and, with a whip of the witch's hair, tossed up onto the steps near the blob.<br/><br/>"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kaheksa yells, sprinting forward and diving between the priestess and the altar- "It's a creation of our Master! It'll<span style="font-style: italic">HEAL </span>her!" Indeed, as the priestess comes closer, tendrils of brown ooze start to crawl up and over the walls, straining towards the priestess. This tableau goes almost unnoticed as Turilia continues forcing her body to change; though she succeeds in changing back to human, her willingness to be<span style="font-style: italic">different</span>opens the door for the digesting magician's magic. Her legs continue to atrophy and weaken, leaving her sprawled on the floor with a swollen gut and shriveled limbs; each crackle of cartilage and bone sends a fresh shudder of ecstasy through the magus, matched by the loud gurgling of her stomach as it starts breaking her tormentor's body down. Unconscious, the mage spasms a few times at the feel of fresh acids coating her body, but between the transformations and Turilia's distraction the effects aren't nearly what they should be. Still, even with that, the rounded bulge in her stomach starts shrinking already as the magus's stomach capitalizes on the wounds her meal has already taken.<br/><br/>A similar situation rises inside the priestess's belly. Ambrosia could, of course, feel every tiny speck of stone in the wall as her captor was dragged out; the stone crushed the fairy further into the priestess's welcoming stomach. Another gout of flame spiked temperatures inside the priestess, bringing the welcome reminder that her friends were fighting tooth and nail to kill the priestess and set the fairy free. More struggles ensue as the belly contorts wildly, shaking the fairy from side to side like a rat in a terrier's mouth. Outside, the priestess' thrashing at last tears Albali's hair free of her body, and she quickly staggers up towards the altar past Kaheksa's desperate attempt to dive tackle her. "You worms," she snarls, casting a spell and twisting around her sister's attempt to restrain her, "You don't know when to quit. You want this to go to the knife? So. Be. It." She seems to shimmer in place, form fuzzing out slightly as the spell cloaks her true position, and only the questing arms of the ooze also not knowing exactly where she is makes that not a complete disaster. She's obviously seriously wounded- her red dress has half fallen and half burnt off, showing much of her chest and gurgling engorged stomach; burns mar her skin as do a few open wounds, though they... seem to be closing as she stands there, slowly. A cruel grin spreads across the priestess's face, one hand splaying across her stomach...<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Spoiling for explicit digestion, sexual content</span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Inside, Ambrosia's struggles take a different tone. Instead of continuing to try to escape, instead the fairy works on her captor's mind, undermining it, trying to make her see Ambrosia's own particular kind of reason. She finds a much more receptive audience than she could have dreamed. A soft moan rises from deep in her chest- inaudible to those around her, but clearly filling the fairy's ears with desire. "Oh, you're a naughty little thing, aren't you?" a voice- the Priestess's, but somehow  audible more in her head than her ears- coos from around her. Acids spurt from the walls, strong enough once more to start eating away the fairy's flesh as the stomach gives her a powerful squeeze. "You're enough of a prize that a bit of roasting is enough. You have a strong soul, fairy, and I can taste you even now. Simply digesting you would be wasteful. Come- we both know you'll be part of someone else before the day is out. Join with an immortal avatar of a god, and enjoy your new position on my chest for the rest of eternity..." In sync with her words, the folds of the stomach walls form fresh tendrils, caressing the fairy. One brushes past Ambrosia's hands, plunging between her legs slick with acid. It begins to throb, stretching and anchoring itself deep inside the fairy while still oozing slime into her body to begin breaking it down from the inside as well as the outside. Others caress her breasts, covering and guiding the fairy's own hands; another plunges into Ambrosia's mouth, dancing with her tongue in an embrace as others begin massaging her strong muscles. As they do, some of the strength flees Ambrosia once more- she can feel herself start to diminish, her essence slurped out of her body and absorbed into the slimy flesh around her. "That's right, little fairy," the priestess coos. "Relax, and let your spirit strengthen mine, and together we'll bring all of your friends together inside me..." the seductive tone of the voice reaches past the fae's ears, triggering a brief but pernicious instinct to do as it says and give in to the pleasure inside and outside her sensitive, tingling body. The sphincter above her seems to weaken, though- the priestess is barely holding her inside, relying more on the magic than brute strength with as much as she's been hurt.</div></div></div><br/><br/>[[Actions!<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Xarithe continues to lightly sear the priestess.<br/>Turilia suffers another round of excruciating deformation (1 remains!)

I'll say that the narrow window gives a +10 to the CMD to avoid getting dragged, but with a nat 20 and Gorun's help that's more than enough.

The ooze seems interested...<br/>Priestess attempts to break the grapple. Rolls a 19 and succeeds, about a round too late. Priestess uses a VILLAIN POINT (Every PC gets +1 hero points, and should now have 2) to take another action. Priestess 5-foot-steps and casts Displacement. Kaheksa misses an AOO. The ooze is very excited. Vore check to hold in Ambrosia is a 18; Ambrosia is held in by a single point. Digestion: 8 bludgeoning damage, 1 acid damage. Will save, DC 14 from the digestion damage for Ambrosia- natural 1.
