[[So I forgot to actually write the IC part of the post where the half-orc did her best to kick Vormitraax right in the crotch. I blame early senility and writing at 6 AM.<img alt=":lol:" src="./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing"/>Moving on.]]<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Entrance Hall</span><br/><br/>[[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/254364">Incubus Flashy Defense</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+2</span><span style="font-weight: bold">2</span>; A tie, so Nanami gets a one-use-only Boost on herself for this scene instead of a lasting advantage.]]<br/><br/>The demon raises his eyebrow. "Oh? Young kitsune, you misunderstand. My mistress is still in the Abyss, and merely asked me to keep an eye on her ongoing affairs in this, her created demiplane. That," he nods to the statue, "Apart from being a fetching likeness of my mistress, is a sort of golem with infernal spells woven into it- heat sends my mistress a mental notice that someone wishes to submit to her here, and she then astrally inhabits the golem made flesh until her meal is done." He smiles thinly as the kitsune blossoms into a better form- he takes one half-step back, his face set, but doesn't retreat any further though he seems to be weighing his options. "Very well. I am named Essoat, and I am the consort and majordomo of my mistress the lady Leruna, a countess of the second circle and champion of the succubus host. Does that meet your... request... for information?"<br/><br/>The invocation of his mistress's name seems to buoy the demon's spirits, and he straightens up; Nanami can feel a wave of presence radiate out from him like a torch casting warmth on her from a foot away. He abruptly seems a little more handsome, a lot more sexy, and... well, she's cast enough spells to know when a moderately powerful enchantment is being leveled against her conscious mind. Knowing isn't the same as being able to resist, of course, but knowledge is often a leg up on resistance even against full demons.<br/><br/>[[The demon attempts to charm Nanami:<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/254366">Incubus Clever Attack</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+3</span><span style="font-weight: bold">2</span>]]<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Bedroom Blitz</span><br/><br/>After her frantic kick at one of her assailants goes awry, Vormitraax has had enough- drawing his weapon against a blind woman that someone else has grappled, he could hardly miss and doesn't. the sword's blade smashes into the side of the orc's head hard enough to send a jolt of pain up Aiyaka's tails, though nothing serious. The young woman crashes sidelong into the wall beside her, getting a nasty knock on the other side of her head from the rebound, but stays upright albeit swaying. Whether she hears the kitsune's words or not, soon enough the blade pricks into her flesh without any resistance from the scanty clothes she'd been wearing for her nap, and just that quickly the surprised and groggy woman sighs and sags up against Aiyaka, out cold for... could be an hour, by the kitsune's reckoning, or maybe two depending on her constitution.<br/><br/>[[Resistance against Vormitraax's attack:<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/254371">Quick Defense</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+1</span><span style="font-weight: bold">-2</span>. Did I mention that you guys are getting some fairly hysterical luck so far? Because good god. Half-orc takes her *major* consequence, "Severe Concussion", and her other stress box.

Aiyaka and Vormitraax will get to decide her fate after the battle together!]]<br/><br/>Felicity levels her pistol and fires. It's a great shot. GREAT shot. Hits him right on the ribcage!<br/><br/>And then the bullet bounces off the minotaur's chest, leaving a nasty looking welt and a thin trickle of blood down his sculpted abs.<br/><br/>He turns to Felicity, eyes glowing a fiercer red as the insult of being attacked diverts his attention from his friend in the room. Rushing at Felicity, aiming to pin her against the door to have his way with her, Felicity gets to experience a one-minotaur stampede from the worst position to do so from as the minotaur rushes her; he drops his axe and spreads his arms wide, aiming to envelop the catgirl in a tight, warm embrace. Probably as a prelude to having her in a different tight, warm embrace.<br/><br/>[[Defense against the gunshot, as the minotaur just stands and takes it-<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/254376">Forceful defense</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+3</span><span style="font-weight: bold">5</span>. Oooof. That Succeeds With Style, so the minotaur not only doesn't take damage, but gets the one-time boost "Berserker Rage". The minotaur attacks Felicity, using his boost and burning a Fate Point to invoke his 'If At First Brute Force Doesn't Succeed...' aspect for +2 apiece to<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/254380">Forceful Attack</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+3</span><span style="font-weight: bold">2</span>; the resulting attack against Felicity is<span style="font-weight: bold">+6</span>. If that ends up succeeding with style (i.e. Felicity's final defense is 3 or less) he'll be knocking one damage off total to add another one-time boost.]]<br/><br/>As the minotaur thoughtfully vacates the doorway and rushes after Felicity to leave his bovine girlfriend uncovered, Lamya begins to cast her spell. Dark tendrils snake out of the cracks in the floor around either side of the lush red carpet and out of the thin space between the walls and ceiling, heading for the cowgirl- she dives out of the way the instant she hears the word 'bind', though, and only one of the tendrils grazes the woman's ankle. She moans in surprise, indignation and pleasure, but not enough so that she would keep herself still to let the tendrils of pleasure get another shot at wrapping her up for their serpentine mistress. Bringing her hand out of her robe, she throws a palmful of glittering dust onto the ground with the shout, "Confusion defend me!" Around her, a half dozen identical illusions of the cowgirl start to move around, shifting in and out in a confusing dance meant to conceal the wizard as long as possible.<br/><br/>[[The cowgirl quickly defends:<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/254383">Quick Defense</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+2</span><span style="font-weight: bold">4</span>and takes 1 shift of damage to her 1-stress box.

No defense needed, since it wasn't explicitly against anyone; you can just attack and make her invoke the aspect, or you can try to remove the aspect with an Overcome roll against the 2 she rolled on your turn.]]<br/><br/>There's a commotion down the hallway as the cacaphony seems to rouse others...
