For a moment there was hope that Rayne had, perhaps, found a weak spot in the crocodile's stomach... but it proved unfounded, and the organ squeezed once more, doing her in.<br/><br/>She felt the disconnect of "death" in EHO, a disembodied sensation as the feeling from her body was shut off. The only silver lining was the "death cam", which allowed her to control her "soul" and move as she pleased like a ghost, clipping through solid objects and barriers, as long as she stayed close to her body. Of course she couldn't say anything in this state, so she wouldn't be able to give away any information. So, Rayne's soul could fly back outside, where she would see that her three companions had gotten to the safety of shore, at least, and the crocodile was going back to pretending to be a dead log, apparently deciding that it wasn't worth the effort to pursue them over land.<br/><br/>There probably wasn't a way for her to be ravished, given where she had perished, so she just had to wait for the respawn option which would surely appear after a few seconds...<br/><br/>A few seconds passed and the option still hadn't appeared, but before Rayne had time to properly panic, she found herself - her soul - being dragged downwards, clipping through the river and then the riverbed, going underground until she finally found herself in some sort of volcanic landscape actively bursting with lava and roiling with clouds of noxious fumes.<br/><br/>In this hellish landscape there was a single male figure waiting for her in the nude, but his bat-like wings, spiny tail, and horns indicated that this was no mere human. Neither was the swollen, painful-looking barbed cock hanging down to his knees even while soft. Of course.<br/><br/>"Rayne, Rayne, Rayne," the devil said in a quiet, amused voice. "No need to worry, your stay won't be permanent. I'm simply borrowing your time to make you an offer that you - actually, you can refuse if you want, but why would you want to? Here is what I offer: a second chance to break out of your digestive grave and rejoin your friends, and an enchantment to your dagger to ensure you succeed this time." He held out his right palm facing upwards, and her cold iron dagger now enchanted to a +1 Animal Bane Cold Iron Dagger materialized above his open hand. "All I ask in return is that you put this on." He held out his left palm, and a leather collar materialized above it. "Don't you want to rejoin your friends? If you respawn back at Melangwi Outpost, do you have a way of contacting them? While they press on towards Port Lannis, you could be stuck in the jungle for a long, long time all by yourself..."<br/><br/>The respawn option finally appeared, and now Rayne had to decide whether to accept the offer or to refuse and respawn herself...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Rayne takes 28 damage, dead.
