"I can feel it workinya already... can you?" she whispered, leaning close to Alfreldi, still gyrating her hips. "You're not just my friend, but somethinya more, too..." The two catgirls kissed again, lips locking together for much longer this time, their tongues tasting each another. Hands groped, seeking out soft sensitive bits to squeeze, and legs crisscrossed, each one of them straddling the other's thigh. Bodies pressed tightly together, they squirmed and ground against each other, sharing warmth, passion, and pleasure, until they both reached a mewling climax at the same time.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Alfreldi wordlessly returned her love.<em>Oh Menya, I don't want this to end...</em>she thought.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Twenty-second Day in the Gilded Cage</span></div><br/>Bakr's summons was a happy coincidence and a chance to get the memory potion for Alfreldi. Menya had Bakr wrapped around her little finger and intended to take full advantage of it. The scarf draped over her waist just so, she put a little extra sway in her hips as she entered his office.<br/><br/>"No, no, I should be the one apologizinya," Menya said, waving her hands. "I didn't want to get you in trouble, so I might not have told Garetz the whole truth..." she laughed nervously. "But seriously," she continued in a furtive tone, leaning forward conspiratorially and seizing Bakr's hand, "I sometimes get flashes of thinyas and places I haven't seen before, I think they're from my previous life. It's all muddled though, do you... do you think you can make another dose? To brinya more memories back? If you need anythinya," and she squeezed his hand, "I'm perfectly willinya to help ..." She looked into his eyes with a pleading gaze, biting her lip as she awaited his reply.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Sure," the alchemist replied with a gulp.  There was no way that he could resist her charms.  "Okay, give me two days to make a new batch.  But there is one more thing..."<br/><br/>He closed the door and took out an extract from the cabinet.  Menya recognized it as a potion of<em>nondetection.</em><br/><br/>"Arensha, you might not say it out loud, but I realize that you have feelings for me.  I know it is wrong, but I have the same in kind.  What I am about to ask will be a betrayal, but I have never been more sure of myself and my choice."<br/><br/>He holds her head close to him.  "I love you, I want you.  It is too risky to do it fully, but I want to show you how much I care..."<br/><br/>A wandering hand slides over her left breast, gently squeezing it as he moved it in circles.  "Does this feel nice?" he asked.  "Perhaps you can return the favor..."<br/><br/>He uses his other hand to guide the one which touched him down to his lap, where Menya could feel his erect member through his pants.<br/><br/>"I will give you your memories back, and some new ones as well," he said as he kissed her.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Twenty-fourth Day in the Gilded Cage</span></div><br/>Seeing Valerie ink the web-like tattoo on Hanifa's back, Menya had a mischievous glint in her eye and a playful grin on her lips as she realized that Silent Girl couldn't talk back. "You should get a red hourglass tattoo on your butt as well," she teased, adding a playful spank on Hanifa's rump for good measure, "then you can be a black widow spider!"<br/><br/>For herself, Menya chose a tattoo of a single scaly serpent, its long body wrapped around her arms. She flexed her muscles, and the smoky grey snake seemed to slither across her body as she moved.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Hanifa let out a slight gasp at the spank, but she did smile back at the good humor.<br/><br/>"Well, I could add something down there once I finish," Valerie said.  "More than a few guys are into that."<br/><br/>Hanifa shook her head, deciding that her ass was fine and sexy enough the way it was.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Serpentine Tattoo</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><em>I imagine it as something like this picture, in a smoky grey colour, a single snake coiled around the arms, with a little bit across the back of her shoulders to bridge the space between her arms but avoiding inking the front of her body.<br/>Technically it's supposed to apply to unarmed strikes, can it be extended to apply to natural attacks (i.e. Menya's claw attacks) as well?</em><br/>(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Autocad-E/snake_by_clintcearley-d8z8yf2_zpsxbmjjnra.jpg)<br/></div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><em>As a house rule, natural attacks count as unarmed strikes for these purposes.</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">An invisible Menya and Hanifa snuck past the patrol that stymied them yesterday, and made their way to the vault without any further incident.

There was no keyhole, so she placed her hands flat against the doors, and as she expected she felt the currents of magic swirling within. "It's magically locked," she conversed casually, as she used little bursts of arcane magic to redirect the flow and trick the wards into thinking that it was al-Samara demanding they open, "luckily, I've seen this sort of thinya befo-"<br/><br/>Menya cut off abruptly, not moving an inch. When she spoke again, her voice was in a terrified whisper. "Oh no.

Hanifa swore in Osiriani.  Quickly she picked up one of the guard's shortbows and ran away.  "If Roshul gets word of this we can kiss our escape, and memories, goodbye!  Get Alfreldi and Zelda<em>now!"</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;">The Courtyard</span></span></div><br/>Alfreldi and Zelda were standing alert on the second floor balcony.<br/><br/>"So, Silent Girl ain't so silent, after all," Alfreldi said.  "Kind of makes me wonder how many of the others have their own secrets to hide."<br/><br/>The mermaid pointed down at a passing pair of eunuchs.  Their gait was awkward, as though leaning against something for transport yet nothing was there.<br/><br/>"That's weird, could they be injured?"<br/><br/>From behind, the looming snake-like shadow cast by Roshul crept up behind the two.  "You've all been spending an awful lot of time together.  I hope whatever it is you're doing is worth it, for you missed yesterday's dance lessons.  It's as though you've all been avoiding me, Arensha and Silent Girl too..."<br/><br/>"N-not at all!" Alfreldi stammered.  "We just...we were admiring the view!"<br/><br/>She slithered up to the catgirl's face.  An inquisitive stare looks between her and Zelda.  "You're hiding something.  And I heard from Faliensk that the silver-haired Garundi can talk."<br/><br/>Zelda glared.  There chances of escape seemed slim now.<br/><br/>Just then, Judi's scream cut through the air, from the doors on the first floor the two eunuchs went through several mintues earlier.<br/><br/>The naga, believing the pair to be responsible somehow, lunged at them, but Zelda was fast and flew out of the way, leaving Roshul hanging half-way over the railing.<br/><br/>"Guards, after them!"

Judi exclaimed as she grappled Menya in a protective hug.  "More assassins, they're after me and my husband!  Get Roshul-"<br/><br/>"Treasonous whelps!" the naga screamed as she tossed a<em>fireball</em>down the hallway, coating the room in ash and soot yet just barely missing the lightning elemental.  "I'll have you all punished!"<br/><br/>Hanifa stood in front of Judi, Alfreldi, and Zelda, interposing herself between the ladies and the hired killers.<br/><br/>"We got this," she said.  "Judi, do you still have your<em>purse?</em>"<br/><br/>The marid tossed it to the Garundi.  The assassins stopped, sensing something off about Menya and Hanifa.<br/><br/>"Alfreldi, Zelda, rendezvous in the library.  We'll meet you there ASAP."<br/><br/>Hanifa said this hurriedly as she leaped out of the way of a charging naga.  "Menya, make sure that Judi's safe!"<br/><br/><em>This isn't going to be a standard encounter due to all the factors and NPCs involved.  Instead this will play out as a skill/spell/maneuver-based action scene.</em><br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Stunts:</span></span></strong></div><br/>2 wounds are required to drop a single NPC.  10 hit points of damage for a normal attack inflicts a wound.<br/><br/>The hostile NPCs are Roshul, two eunuch assassins, and a lightning elemental.<strong>Edit:</strong>Their Armor Class and CMD are as follows: 23/27, 21/20, 16/21.<br/><br/>Menya can use one stunt per round in addition to her regular actions.<br/><br/><strong>Air Attack:</strong>Menya can climb the walls or hitch a ride on a floating Zelda to pounce upon a target on the ground.  This requires either a DC 17 Acrobatics or Climb check.  Success means that Menya lands on one of them, dropping them prone.<br/><br/><strong>In a Knot:</strong>Menya can get up close and personal with Roshul, leaping between coils and generally aggravating an already pissed-off naga.  A DC 21 Acrobatics check effectively entangles Roshul in her own snake-like body.  If the result is 27 or better, she and an assassin are entangled.<br/><br/><strong>Redirect Spark:</strong>Menya can exploit the lightning elemental's own powers against the assassins.  By baiting it into a shock attack she can twirl about and redirect the electric flow to a nearby source of metals.  And the eunuch assassins' blades are made of iron.<br/><br/>This requires a DC 20 Bluff check.  Success redirects one attack to an assassin, wounding him.  A failure deals 1d6 points of electricity damage to Menya.<br/><br/><strong>Serpent Strike:</strong>Menya can use her tattoo in conjunction with an attack to further incapacitate an assassin.  A successful roll vs. their 21 Armor Class allows Menya to attack as normal, wounding them.  A CMB vs. their 19 CMD allows the use of a dirty trick.<br/><br/><strong>Team-Up:</strong>Hanifa and Menya rush together to do a choreographed maneuver learned from their dancing lessons.  Feel free in describing it, but it should be elegant and cinematic.  A successful DC 25 Perform check sends the pair whipping about the hallway, rendering all hostile targets flat-footed and wounding one assassin.
