the attention, briefly of the barbarian warrior who gave a slight nod of the head before returning her attention to the dwarf in front of her.  The wench came over and set a frothy mug of ale in front of Tialyn without even being asked before saying,<strong> "Greetings adventurer, food and drink in the tavern is on the house tonight in honor of the contest, what can I get for you?"</strong>A mental pop up quickly let her know that any food and drink consumed inside the Inn would restore Tialyn to full health and mana, restoring her completely, and was free of charge, but couldn't be taken out of the Inn, nor conveyed any bonus other than refreshing her state.  In addition no actions taken inside the tavern would grant her any points, so while she didn't spend any on food or drink, she did lose time and heat by being out of the action here for too long.<br/><br/>Tialyn ordered a plate of the freshly roasted meat that she could smell and the waitress sauntered off, her hips sashaying lewdly, to fetch the meal.  Tialyn took a sip of the frothy ale in front of her and marveled at how absolutely real it tasted, the foam tickling her nose as the cool liquid slid down her throat.  In that moment, every scrape, scratch, and bit of dirt on her body vanished instantly returning her body to the pristine state it had been in when she'd first entered this world.  Of course, her armor stayed the same, but she sensed that if it had been anything but brand new, it too would have been restored to clean and pristine status.  The waitress had returned setting a plate with roasted green veggies and thin slices of roasted meat in front of her just as a disturbance appeared in the center of the tavern.  A mist of swirling golden motes appeared in the center of the tavern.  That got the attention of the four PCs who turned and looked as the coalesced into a new player.  A brunette woman in sexualized iron armor materialized out of the glowing motes of light.  As they faded away she took a deep gasping breath and opened her eyes.<br/><br/><strong>"FUCK!"</strong>she yelled.  Slamming her sword into the scabbard at her belt, she looked around.  Tialyn noted that her location was also Freeport.<strong> "Fucking Orc patrol came upon me when I had almost beaten the chieftain.  Fucking shit...."</strong>Then a little quieter she sighed,<strong>"There go half my points."</strong><br/><br/>The teifling eromancer chuckled and shrugged at the new arrival,<strong>"Chin up slut, grab someone, get a fuck bonus, and get back out there, you'll be ok sweetling."</strong><br/><br/>The newly arrived warrior frowned and turned towards the door, but on her way, Tialyn caught her attention with a little wave.  She paused and Tialyn shrugged her shoulders and said,<em>"Here, have a seat.  You look like you need to vent."</em>The woman approached but looked cautious at first, as if unsure of Tialyn's motivations.  But then when she added,<em> "And I have a quest that might be just what you're looking for."</em>Those words seemed to put the warrior's mind at ease somewhat and she sat down with a nod, shifting slightly and letting fingers dip down below the line of the table.  But Tialyn could tell that the woman was her lower garments.  Since she'd seen the way the human's ass practically devoured the leather thong between muscular butt cheeks, and she knew how sexualized this world was, she had no doubt that the garment was extremly tight on the woman's lower regions.<em>  "So...What happened?" </em>Tialyn asked.<br/><br/>The woman focused her attention on Tialyn after waving to the barmaid and gesturing at the food and drink in front of the elf, suggesting she wanted the same.<strong>  "Thanks, name's Kendra.  When you first waved me over I thought you just wanted to get the fuck buff."</strong>Tialyn was slightly confused for a moment.  So much information was automatically fed to her mentally, but she had no idea what the warrior was talking about.  The confusion must have shown on her face because Kendra continued,<strong>"You know?  I thought you just wanted me to eat you out or something so you'd get a point buff?  The fuck buff?" </strong>When it was obvious that Tialyn didn't know, she raised one eyebrow,<strong>"Didn't you talk to your starting trainer?  No, let me guess, you skipped all of the opening newb quests so you could get out and start killing, right?" </strong>Kendra was astute, Tialyn hadn't gotten any starter quests, because she'd chosen a random start.  Still she was in the top three point earners as of ten minutes ago, so she probably shouldn't worry about missing out on low level starter quests.<br/><br/>The barmaid set food and drink in front of the warrior and she took a drink before continuing.<strong> "So while we're in the tavern there's no way to gain points and your heat score will decrease.  But if you and another player character fuck, you get a temporary buff that multiplies your points that you earn after leaving the inn."</strong>She nodded to the other four players in the tavern.<strong>"That's probably what they're doing right now, trying to work out an agreed upon encounter for the buff.  I was going to turn you down because someone talked me into blowing him right near the start of the game, and then never reciprocated.  He got a good 'orgasm bonus' buff, and I only got a weak ass 'cocksucker' buff that barely increased my point generation for the next hour.  Certainly not worth the time it took.  I just thought... you know... you were going to.... well... anyways."</strong><br/><br/>She trailed off and took a bite of food.<strong>  "I was hunting orcs at the camps in the northern deserts of Ro, south of Freeport.  I'd broken up the camp and was doing a great job clearing them out, getting some good gold, which of course is just points.  I'd made it to the cheiftan's hut, and of course after the dialogue where he tries to convince you to be his new concubine and breed a bunch of half orc babies for his clan, was able to start the combat.  I should have had it, but a random patrol of orcs came by.  They shouldn't have respawned that quickly, they don't in the normal version of the game at least.  But seven against one was far too much for me, especially since the chieftan was a shaman that could heal.  Well it wasn't long before I was down, and being gang raped by half a dozen orcish brutes.  Technically my character was enslaved and became a brood mare for the orcs.  I could have waited for someone else to come along and kill the orcs, which would have freed me.  In the normal game I might have done that and waited, but there's far less players in this contest version of the game then the normal.  So I couldn't take the chance that it might be days before anyone even came along.  Days of being bred by those beasts and treated like a cum dump."</strong><br/><br/>It was obvious to Tialyn that Kendra obviously knew a lot more about this game then she did.  Or at least she knew a lot more about the non-corrupted, non-tournament version of this game.  While she was obviously weaker than Tialyn was, still wearing what looked like starter armor and weaponry, she seemed to be a good source of information.  Kendra sighed and shrugged her shoulders,<strong>"So I chose voluntary respawn.  Kills your character and takes you back to the bind spot.  Which is here... or I guess since you're in Swamphome, I should say that for me it's in the Freeport Inn."</strong><br/><br/>With all of that being said, she took a long pull from her ale and then wiped the foam from her mouth with the back of her hand before saying,<strong>"But you mentioned a quest?  What kind of loot and experience are we talking about?"</strong>
