Now, though - things are finally back under way, and future posts should not only come easier...but much quicker!! Welcome to the two new players! Let's get this train wreck rolling again! WOO!</div></div></div><br/><br/>*Thunk*<br/><br/>Brady's bolt buried itself straight up to the fletching in the upturned table that Ventressa and Laebras were using as a makeshift cover, the table seemingly absorbing it's fair share of the projectiles meant for either the human or the tall tiefling.  Ventressa takes a half-step backwards as the bolt sticks in just about knee-height, and knee-placement - a rather debilitating area, had the bolt actually hit. The look of surprise - and relief - quickly turns into a half sneer "Woops. Sorry Lizzi-"<br/><br/>Her little taunt catches in her throat as the giantess picks her out of the crowd of opponents...and charges straight towards her, leaping over the upturned table that had provided her so much cover "Oh...crap..." the wide-eyed girl whispers under her breath, looking up at the much larger opponent looming over her.<br/><br/>As Sunete reaches in to grab her, Ventressa shows off her rather startleing speed, quickly balling up her fists and punching at the giantess' encroaching hands, seemingly attempting to make her impale herself upon those sharp tiger-claw weapons...<br/><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;">Ventressa uses 'Close quarters combat' to get an attack of opportunity against Sunete's grapple...<br/><br/>AoO - 1d20 (12) + 5 = 17.

She barely has the time to gasp 'Uh-oh'....before Sunete slams her arms against her, side, effectively pinning the much smaller girl in her grip. Despite her amazing dexterity, she clearly lacked any great amount of strength, and Sunete finds her squirms to be laughable at best. The perfect prey.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Sunete wrote:</cite> "And this is how you devour someone, human" </div></blockquote><br/><br/>"Wha-" Ventressa opens her mouth to protest, or perhaps plead, but before she can utter a single word, Sunete opens her mouth wide....and stuffs the entirety of Ventressa's head inside in a single, smooth movement. 'Eeek! Mpphh!' The sudden flavor of her cheek gliding along Sunete's tastebuds was heavensent - for having such a seemingly sour personality, the girl was delicious. No, not just delicious - heavenly. Her smooth skin felt as soft as silk against Sunete's tongue, and carried with it a deep, honey-like flavor. There was not even the salty flavor of perspiration, as if she'd only just recently bathed, or at the very least rather throughly washed herself off. That flavor was nothing short of mouthwatering - all the more the pity that in the middle of combat, it is not something that could be enjoyed more throughly.<br/><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;">Ventressa's attempt to resist swallow - 1d20 (7) + 1 = 8....not a chance. Gulp she goes!</div></div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Mmmmrrrrph!!!" A muffled cry comes from within Sunete's throat as the small girl sets to squirming for her life, but those squirms seem to be for naught, as a single swallow squeezes her shoulders between Sunete's lips, and her belly follows shortly thereafter. The outline of her body appears as a shapely bulge in Sunete's neck, a bulge that is squeezed ever downwards, inch by inch sealing her fate as just a larger bulge in the giantess' belly.<br/><br/>"G-gods..." Ventressa cries out, too stunned to even be terrified  - yet as she felt those throat muscles rippling around her, felt them tugging her downwards hungrily, eagerly - and worst of all, easily - the fear slowly began to set in. The slickened, tight, rippling passage squeezed around her, pulling her ever inwards, and bit by bit she felt her legs starting to slip between those lips, and into the warm, wet embrace of Sunete's mouth. "Ahhh! NOOooooo!" Squirming with all her might, she shifts her weight bodily back and forth, trying desperatley to  force herself free, to make the giantess throw her back up - but to no avail. Even Sunete's throat was stronger than she was, her squirms doing little more than proving a rather interesting - and altogether enjoyable - internal massage on the way down, sending little vibrations throughout Sunete's throat.<br/><br/>Finally, with one final 'Gulp', her kicking feet slide between Sunete's lips...and out of sight, just a rapidly dissappearing bulge traveling down her neck, and vanishing behind her breasts, her newest meal sealed away right where it beloned - nice and deep in her belly.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Inside Sunete's Stomach...</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;">Despite being muffled by a layer of muscle and flesh, Gallen could hear voices from outside....his companions? Maybe, MAYBE....he'd end up getting out of this alive after all! Maybe they could...knock out the giantess somehow, get him out? Hopefully, they didn't eat her, with him still inside....<br/><br/>Countless thoughts roll through his head as he is bounced and jostled in the incredibly tight, slick confines of his fleshy prison - thankfully, one that was no longer trying to digest him. His thoughts, however, are interrupted by another voice...this one MUCH closer.<br/><br/>"Ahhh! NOooooo!" It sounded...familair. Really familiar...<br/><br/>Ventressa?<br/><br/>The thought made his blood run cold - his companions might not even be winning, despite their numbers. If that was the case....<br/><br/>He hardly has another second to ponder that thought before something fleshy begins to squeeze down on him from above. Something fleshy, and squirmy "AHHH!! Oh geez, geez! LAEBRAS!! GET ME OUT-"<br/><br/>"Ventressa?" Gallen says, surprise in his voice. It was true - looked like he'd have company in his little digestive prison, at least. Of course, as Sunete's throat began to forcefully deposit her on his rather red, irritated flesh, he found out just how much of a horrible idea that really was - ESPECIALLY given how muc h she was squirming.<br/><br/>"Oh gods, Gallen?! She ate YOU?! We-we have to get out of here!" Despite Sunete's belly already being stuffed with a catboy, It easily began to dome outwards a little more, accepting the human girl into it's tight embrace. Within a matter of seconds, Ventressa finds herself squeezed in tightly beside Gallen, who began to push right back against her, trying to make enough room for them both "Gah! Ventressa...stop!! Owww! Owowow...Gods, stop moving....I'm so sore..."<br/><br/>Ventressa, already starting to panic, ignores the complaints of the partially-digested feline sharing the much-too-tiny space "We...have to get out. W-we...have to NOW...." Planting one foot against the slick, squishy bottom of Sunete's belly, and the other against Gallen's thigh, Ventressa suddenly *LUNGES* upwards....<br/><br/>( Ventressa Escape artist, 1d20 (14) + 5 = 19. Not even close to the DC)<br/><br/>Briefly, her head passes through the muscular ring that led into her fleshy prison, but she finds no purchase....and is abruptly deposted right back into Sunete's belly, a wailing cry of "Noooooo!" Suddenly sounding from inside the giantess' belly...</div></div></div><br/><br/>Sunete's belly suddenly surges upwards, then seems to settle back down, it's occupants seemingly briefly trying to escape - only to find escape from that tight belly was no easy feat. Small bulges appear and dissappear in the smooth, rounded flesh of Sunete's belly as Ventressa tries desperately to escape....<br/><br/>It feels so good.<br/><br/><br/>Laebras watches the entire process without saying a word, her eyes wide in a mixture of shock, and...was that enjoyment? For the briefest of moments, Laebras runs her tongue over her lips, eyeing the sizable bulge in the giantess' middle almost enviously. Damn - she'd intended to eat the human, eventually....<br/><br/>"Dalin...get her. NOW!" Laebras' voice seems to draw Dalin out of his little nervous stupor - attacking from behind was his speciality! With Sunete occupied gulping down his companion, and further occupied with the greatsword-wielding tiefling...<br/><br/>It gave him just the chance to strike. Readying his weapon, he moves in to flank Sunete, and takes a cut at the backside of her leg.<br/><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;">Dalin tries to sneak attack Sunete.<br/><br/>1d20 (13) + 4 + 2 flanking = 19.

However, it seemed as though the canine was trying to go for a more vulnerable point, as he was purposefully aiming for her legs....perhaps to hamstring her?<br/><br/>However, Laebras did not leave her long to ponder, as just as Dalin's blade hits her armor, the sizable tiefling steps forwards and swings in a massive overhead swipe, the blade coming down firmly on Sunete's shoulder, sending a spark of pain throughout her body.<br/><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;">Laebras attacks with a greatsword.<br/><br/>1d20 (16) + 5 + 2 flanks = 23. Whew, a very well-spent action point. Laebras misses.</div></div></div><br/><br/>The blade hits with the force of someone MUCH stronger than she looks, the vibration from the impact jarring Sunete right to the bone. The enormous blade easily penetrates through Sunete's armor, though not through the giantess' tough skin. Despite the rather jarring impact of the blade, when Laebras pulls it back, smirking....there is little more than a faint, red mark marring Sunete's skin, the blade having not even caused a scratch.<br/>Laebras's eyes widen in surprise, her smirk turning into in a mixture of shock and disbelief "...What in the hell...? How.."<br/><br/>"Hershel...Need some help here..." Laebras calls over her shoulder, a bit of nervousness clearly evident in her voice. Despite how ineffective her rather powerful attack was, the tiefling only takes a single step back, re-works her grip on the enormous blade, and begins to prepare for another strike, her eyes locked with Sunete's.<br/><br/><br/><br/>" Working on it, Laebras!" Hershal calls back, rapidly fitting another bolt into his crossbow. Letting it loose at the bear, he watches it once more sink home - slowing the big, white ball of fury further, but still not dropping it "Jeez....Kaitlyn?! Don't you have anything to get rid of this thing?! It's not dying!"<br/><br/>The busty sorceress tears her eyes away from Sunete's bulging belly "Y-yeah...only one, though. Never tasted bear before...let's find out, shall we?" Digging in her pouch, she withdraws a single, small scroll, unfurling it in her hands. Focusing on Cragsplitter for just a brief moment, she begins to read off the scroll "Vortalia teleportanus ingestus alvelo dege aganna!"<br/><br/>With a soft crackle, the scroll disentegrates in her hands. Still concentrating, she points towards the projectile-riddled bear with one hand, her other lightly stroking her stomach through her loose robes. Cragsplitter seems to flash briefly, then...simply vanishes, as if he were never there in the first place. Kaitlyn closes her eyes and licks her lips, as if in anticipation.....<br/><br/>....But nothing happens.<br/><br/>Again fitting a bolt into his crossbow, Hershel stares up at her "Um...? Where'd he go?" Kaitlyn blinks, her eyes fluttering open. The bear was gone...but...where'd he go? By now, she should have felt...rather full, given his size. And her belly should have been much, MUCH larger.... "He...was supposed to be in me? What the heck..."<br/><br/>Hershel just shakes his head at the befuddled sorceress "It worked, it got rid of him. One down, two to go....Holka, Yunni...deal with the lizard! I'll help Laebras and Dalin with the giantess!"<br/><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;">Yunni shoots an arrow at Brady. 1d20 (8) + 5 = 13.

As she looks on, the half-elf knocks another arrow, and takes aim right at her...*TWANG!*. The arrow soars through the air, wooshing right beside her cheek - close enough she can feel the fletchings briefly tickle her skin. It clacks against the wall harmlessly, but the half-elf is already knocking another arrow and lining up a shot, a look of determination etched on her face.<br/><br/>The half-elf was not the only worry Brady had, though. With the bear gone, and the giantess' attention divided between Laebras and Dalin, Holka finally decides to make his move - stepping out from behind his protective pillar, he darts forwards right towards Brady, claws unsheathing as he runs...<br/><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;">Touch attack - 1d20 (15) + 5 = 20.

Even losing one or two, they'd end up winning this....and hey, if they got a couple of meals in the process, all the better. Plus, less people meant less to share the gold when the job was done "Gulp her down quick, Holka. Still need to take down the giantess.
