class="spoiler_body"><strong>Lydia now has an arousal rating of 3.</strong> This will not have any major effects on most actions, but might have thematic effects.<br/>At an arousal raiting of 3, which Lydia has after passing through the portal, she is beginning to feel the signs of sexual arousal.  She has a very high willpower of 4 though, and is able to use her strong will to resist a lot of temptation.  You the player won't have to even begin to worry about it until she gets to an arousal of 5 or higher.  A score of 6 is that she is fully aroused, and you can decide what sort of effect that might have in game.  I described it a little bit on the ooc thread in this post:<br/>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234676.msg11704747#msg11704747</div></div><br/><br/>As Lydia and Shugar pound back towards the center of the arena, Shugar nods her head at Lydia's instructions.  She doesn't move quite as fast as the human woman, and her much more zoftig flesh jiggles enticingly, as the eyebots seem to focus on their sultry ripples.  Still she isn't far behind Lydia and grabs a key at random, inspecting it as the two dash for the portal.  There's less than twenty girls still in the arena, most of them having made their way into the dungeon already.  A few notable holdouts however include Esther who runs past them, sweat making her brow glisten, as she moves quite quickly in her heavy armor and tabard.  Conversely the elven sister Chindra, the more martial of the two, seems perfectly at ease as she sprints in long elegant strides.  Her nearly naked flesh, covered only by the contestant's boots, bronze colored bracers, a bit of fine jewelry, and her tattoos, looks clean and fresh, without a sign of sweat.  However Lydia notices that Chindra's sister Sinthra doesn't seem to be in the arena any longer, and must have already passed through the portal.<br/><br/>Lydia hits the portal and passes through it, feeling again that tingiling arousal passing through her.  She does her best to ignore it and run around the portal, heading back to the other wall.  Only slightly aware that the inky black void now fills more than two thirds of the arena, to the north and south.  The gap in between the two halves of the void, that of free sand between the portal and the wall of keys was narrowing.  It wasn't until suddenly when the eyebots that had been buzzing around Lydia suddenly stopped, most of them flying away to the south, that she realized something was wrong.<br/><br/>Spinning her head to the south she saw one of her fellow contestants struggling, hacking up and down with a shining silver sword.  She'd made it to a chest and outfitted herself in shining metal armor, but somehow had slowed enough for the void to lurch forward with an inky black tentacle and grip her ankle.  Even as Lydia ran, she watched the void tentacles rip at her contestant's uniform, sundering it and exposing her.  The eyebots flitted about wildly, capturing the images of the first contestant to be caught by the void.<br/><br/><strong>"Don't even think about it Lydia,"</strong>Shugar called from behind Lydia as the pair ran towards the keys.  Apparently the first key that Shugar chose didn't work for her either.<strong>"We couldn't get to Mirna in time, the void is going to be surrounding her before we could even get halfway there."</strong><br/><br/>Certainly Lydia knew that Shugar was right.  Even as Mirna hacked up and down with the sword, she could see the void closing around the elven girl from all sides, ripping her clothing further, and starting to penetrate the girl.  Any delay would be nothing more than suicide.  It was a chilling reminder of how quickly and easily a contestant could fall inside the dungeon.  Mirna had chosen poorly, probably gotten greedy looting the chests and not thinking about how much time she'd need to make the run to the portal.<br/><br/>Even now as Lydia got to the board and realized that there were only three key types left, she'd wasted a lot of time saving two fellow contestants.  She could make the run once more with no problem, if the next key didn't work.  But if the next two keys didn't work, the void would be close enough to begin to reach her.  She HAD to get the right key in the next choice, or the one after that at the worst.  Otherwise she'd end up like Mirna!<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">In your post you mention that she grabs a short indented one.  I'm going to assume you meant one without an indent.... otherwise you grabbed one you know doesn't work.<br/><br/>There are five key types.<br/><del>Short with indent</del>  (doesn't work for Lydia)<br/><del>Short without indent</del>  (doesn't work for Lydia)<br/>Medium with indent<br/>Long with indent<br/>Long without indent<br/><br/>Each contestant, once they touch a key, find it impossible to drop that key or to pick up another.  They can try to pass through the portal, and if the key type matches the magical 'rhythm' of the silver stamp on her upper arm, she is transported to the first level of the dungeon.  There is a one in five chance that she would randomly select the right key, however Lydia now knows that the short key with the indent will not work for her, and can avoid touching any of those.  If the key that Lydia touches does not match her magical rhythm, it does not work for her.  She passes through the archway and feels a tingling sensation as the magic causes her to become subtly aroused.  (1 point of arousal)  The key then vanishes from her hand and returns to it's place on the board.  She can run back over and select a new key.<br/><br/>You can use the Elliquiy dice roller to roll to see if the key 'works' when she passes through the portal.   Roll a 3 sided die.  If she rolls a 1, it works.  2 or 3 and it fails.</div></div>
