<span style="font-weight: bold">@Sansuki</span><br/><br/>The other lizardfolk were quite friendly when you encountered them enroute to the temple - as much as anyone who'd just been roughed up and charged extra for their 'protection racket' money. But they'd probably be generous if you returned the spear - although its a reasonably powerful artifact in its own right - though you could certainly use possession of it to manipulate them or demand concessions.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Oblatione (for Xarces)</span><br/><br/>Within your tum, Oblatione is doing much the same as you are within Obatwo's - writhing and wriggling, encouraging digestion and enjoying herself immensely. Except she's better at it, swiftly letting you, encouraging you, to break her down into shadowmush that your body can strip for its own needs...<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Oblatwo</span><br/><br/>Oblatwo moans, rubbing gently at her belly, massaging you within. She's very much your ally in mutual ecstasy, in aiding the power and speed of your own digestion. Already, you can feel parts of your skin and the flesh beneath melting, opening pathways into which rich, transformative shadowstuff pours and begins to change you into something she finds much, much more suitable... and soon, she's moaning and cumming as she does so, waves squeezing your body as pleasure rocks her... settling into a post-orgasmic bliss of sprawled relaxation...<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">@Jules</span><br/><br/>OOC: You can roll as you like, either grapple or escape artist - but either is a full-round action - or 'take ten', i.e. an assumed average roll of a ten. I think you should get to add determined prey to escape attempts whether as part of grapples or the 'writhe your way out' version, whatever it actually says in the feat, so go ahead and do so - we can fix this later if it seems broken.<br/><br/>The shadowoman doesn't seem to be particularly resisting your escape attempts, not that she needs too at the moment... and indeed her stomach continues to rumble and work against your wriggling body...<br/><br/>OOC: Digestion vs. Jules, 2 acid damage<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Tenderone, Tenderfour and Tenderfive</span><br/><br/>Now that the<span style="font-style: italic">awkward</span>blackscales have been reduced to mush, the Tenders' eagerly set about each other's bodies, licking, kissing and nibbling, paying as much attention to your stomachwalls as to each other. It's speeding acid production, and massaging it into their flesh, but you can't help but think the real reason is that it feels<span style="font-style: italic">orgasmically</span>good - for you, as well as them.<br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Shadowoman</span><br/><br/>"Well," Synys replies to the lamia. "I would assume we're not going to wait for her to digest, right? I'm all for getting the human out, but I'm unsure how that effort would be seen by you guys. Been getting mixed messages on the subject." The feeling in Synys's stomach is indeed a little strange - but not at all unpleasant. Quite the contrary...<br/><br/>"I won't be offended if you do, don't worry," Alizome replies. "Still, I'm inclined to let sleeping humans lie, or the similar saying for people in stomachs. Anyone who gets eaten hardly can expect to have everyone else drop everything to save them; it's not an obligation, but if you want to help him go ahead."<br/><br/>"Don't let it bother you," the Shadowoman says, with a negligent wave of her hand. "It's not like I'm stopping him from escaping or trying to digest him. It's only the regular strength of my stomach keeping him in there, and only a little acid. If he can't resist at least that much to free himself from a perfectly ordinary belly, he's more of a liability than an asset on your quest." She smiles, softly. "I'll take good care of him for you, for as long as he stays," she continues, patting her tum, which jiggles in response. "Feel free to take whatever you like. You've earned your prize here, and we're happy to let you take out that tiresome trash upstairs. It will only attract undesireable types anyway."<br/><br/>OOC: In case it is not clear, by 'trash' she means the gold, jewels, object d'art etc etc both dropped down to this level as 'sacrifices' by the blackscales, and up in their quarters above.<br/><br/>Synys turns back to face the elf with obvious surprise even with the mixed messages she had at least claimed to be getting. "Really?" she asks. "Well, that definitely adds to the lack of comraderie that has already made itself fairly apparent..." This group's attitude still confuses her regardless of whether or not they still seem to work well together. She isn't sure what to think...and the sensation in her middle is starting to shift to minor pain.<br/><br/>"Relax and let it happen," the shadowoman advises. "Embrace the power you've won. You'll be stronger, after..."
