((Yes, Bright. I only just really started figuring out things about pathfinder here recently (This being my first game and all!), but...it's pretty clearly some kinda boss battle. x3 As has already been mentioned, it seems like it was made to stand up to the entire group, all of which are not there right now. I chose to show a little compassion for a fallen party member rather than forging on ahead and acting like it didn't happen, so what little damage I could do isn't there. Xarces is outside with me, so whatever damage he can do isn't there. Two others are in a different room, so their damage isn't there. Right now it's just, what, two people trying to take on a boss that is made for an entire party of...seven people, I think?<br/><br/>I am surprised it's not already nommed Linda, and likely you as well. x3 I am kinda torn on what I'd like to have done in the situation. On one hand, continuing to explore and such would have been very fun, and I would have been all for looting the place! >:3 On the other hand, a party member dropped possibly-dead RIGHT beside the doorway used to get inside, and noone but myself, Xarces, and Valeani batted an eyelid at it. I took roleplaying over charging headlong into the fray with potentially-dead or wounded allies, aaaand...I dunno! x3 With no additonal help, it SHOULD be a tough fight that is forcing you to think of alternate methods of defeating it, or simply coming back to get additional help. Calling up into the upstairs window seems like a good idea - it would let them come to assist you, and KNOW to assist you. On the other hand, coming back to recruit myself and Xarces is an option - it is simply in good spirit of roleplaying to get wounded people back to safety rather than just leaving them there to die or whatever!<br/><br/>Of course, that's just me, and my thoughts on it! I'm sure winning is doable, but it's likely going to be tough, as it should be!))<br/><br/>((Also, welcome back, Jermayan!))<br/><br/>((AAaaaaaand...also! Sorry for my extreme delay! Suuuuuuper duper busy week that is normally not my thing! It's over now, so full steam ahead! x3 ))<br/><br/>The offered wing over her shoulder draws a little grin from the kitsune, her bushy tails sort of 'entwining' around each other and flicking back in forth in unspoken delight "A tour around town? Ooo, that does sound lovely. It's a somewhat dangerous place, though...for the unprepared!" Ears perking upwards through the cut slits in her had to allow them exit, puffs up her chest just a little bit in pride "Of course, I've grown quite prepared! I've got a whole slew of contacts, kinda know my way around the place....oh, gosh..." Her ears suddenly wilt as she remembers one little detail that had mostly stayed far from her mind "...I am going to have a really, REALLY angry minotaur girl tearing up the place looking for me, I bet...I kinda ate her partner and snuck out..."<br/><br/>Pursing her lips in thought, she idly prods at her own stomach with a fingertip, all evidence that 'Delicia' had ever been within having long since vanished. It had, after all, been some hours since she'd...'shared a bed' with the delectable human woman "Eehhh.....I'd been doing so well, too. Y'know, it'd been like...two months since I ate someone. Or, somewhere close. I was doing really good resisting the urge, and then this TASTY woman showed up out of the blue, clearly trying to pull one over on me, and we got alone, and I just kinda..." Sliding the finger on her tummy upwards to her throat, she swirls it along the soft, bare flesh of her neck, then lets it once more trail down to her tummy, showing the exact path Delicia had traveled "....Indulged a little bit."<br/><br/>The barest hint of the memory of the woman's flavor, the softness of her skin as it slid along her tongue, squeezing into the tight, eager depths of her throat, trickled through her mind. It was enough to send a little shiver throughout her body. Mmm...it really HAD been a long time since she'd last had the immense pleasure of experiecing another's soft, delectable body slowly simmering in her tummy...and Delicia was absolutely wonderful. It reminded her of why she'd loved it in the first place...and for the life of her, she couldn't imagine why she'd ever even given it up at all. Well, other than the obvious ramifications if she just went around will-nilly eating everyone she came across.<br/><br/>Not to say the idea wasn't tempting...<br/><br/>Again, Ryla found her gaze lingering upon the benuded human girl Odette, chewing thoughtfully upon her lower lip as she simply drank in the sight of the clothesless woman. Mm, she looked so delicious. Weakened as she was, only healed just enough to be able to walk, if barely...she looked even MORE tempting. It was a meal she could swallow without so much as a single care in the world, one that would likely be too tired and injured to even fight back....<br/><br/>..She could savor her. Every inch of soft, delicious skin, even tantalizing curve...and there was nothing to stop her from just settling back on a nice, soft bed, stroking her tummy, and enjoying the feeble struggles of the slowly-digesting woman until they finally gave way to stillness and silence, save for the gentle-but-eager groaning of her tummy slowly breaking down the delectable human...<br/><br/>...Then there was Xarces as well. He'd even said it could all end as him becoming her meal. Casting a sideways glance at him, Ryla idly admires his rather enticing body, the thoughts of once more feeling him stretching out her tight little tummy sending another little shudder through her body .What would those wings feel like going down, feathered and whole...? Mmm, and what would they feel like fluttering inside of her tummy, now that the feathers had regrown, their strength had returned...?<br/><br/>UGH! Dang it!<br/><br/>"Entertainment will be a good thing, and someone to watch my back is always appreciated!" Wiggling her way out from beneath Xarces' wing, Ryla skips on ahead, right up beside Odette, casting a glance over her shoulder at Xarces and winking "I have a feeling there's certain parts of the 'back' that'll have your attention more than others!" With a little wiggle of her hips, the edge of her little skirt flips upwards just enough to expose the soft, lightly-tanned flesh of her upper thigh, just below her rump. It was a rather alluring sight, and one could only imagine it would only take her half-bending over to reveal far more than would be approproate for most public situations "...Not that I'll mind." Giggling softly at her little tease, she reaches up and fishes around in her pack, withdrawing a rather old, ratty-looking cloak that had clearly seen better days.<br/><br/>"Mmph. You're...REALLY distracting, Odette. So, let's get you covered up a little bit, huh? You're making my mouth water - by the way, perhaps not the compliment you wanted to hear, but...you tasted DELICIOUS." Throwing the cloak over Odette's shoulders, Ryla jerks it a few times to sinch it up around her. Given it was fitted for Ryla, it was a little bit on the small side, though it covered enough to at least give some semblance of clothing "There! You'll be back with your father in no time, we'll collect the ransom, and then you'll be rid of us! Sounds fun, right?!"<br/><br/>Despite the upbeat tone in her voice, Ryla's eyes drink in the sight of Odette like a cat looking at a mouse. She really was so delicious looking, especially in her weakened state...Mmm...she could practically TASTE her...<br/><br/>Gods, that ransom had better be WORTH it.<br/><br/>Gritting her teeth in an effort to keep from licking the woman, an innocent little taste that would likely lead to Odette once more experiencing the stifling, tight depths of a kitsune's stomach, Ryla casts another glance back to Xarces, forcing a smile "Right! Well, let's get Misha on the boat, and we'll tend to her soon as we get back to town! Eesh, hope everyone is okay. Then again, I'm sure they are - couldn't have been TOO many bad things in there ,after all..!"<br/><br/>((I assume we make it back to the boat uneventfully, Ambrose? ^_^ ))
