With her hand on Aria's waist, Rose would easily be able to feel the hidden tiefling tail squirming excitedly with a hand so near, and their bodies so close. Its owner purred, gave Rose's jawline a feline lick, and cupped both hands about her companion's buttocks to squeeze, kneed, and draw their standing laps flush together - to rather pleasurable effect, Aria found, moaning under her breath and grinding faintly against the other girl.<br/><br/>She gave a mock pout as Rose pulled away, but nodded soberly. "Maybe as we go we can figure out our<em>favorite</em>room of the keep, as he explore it...I should admit that in every room so far I'd already been idly daydreaming about their, erm, 'possibilities'...."<br/><br/>She slid a finger across Rose's lower lip, and tugged at the corner of her mouth with it gently but rather suggestively. "I might want to let you get some tail, tigress...or tail might get you." She glanced to the door, with thoughts rather similar to Rose's, the idea of having to be quiet had its own thrill, somehow. "We might have to figure out a way to keep each other quiet, even if on another floor..." her finger nudged, swirled and slid about the insides of Rose's lips in overt entendre, and Aria's face betrayed just how erotic she found the sight of it, and the texture of Rose's lips. Her buttocks-squeezing hand stroked the inside of Rose's thigh from behind, fingertips sliding along and up with placement and motion even more suggestive. "Maybe it's the adventurer or sneakthief in me, but the idea of...erm, using...rooms we're about to loot is<em>sooo</em>decadent," she purred. "And if I<em>really</em>need to keep you quiet, roaring tigress, I just might practice my ropework, or at least, silk scarf knotwork after all..."<br/><br/>In the first floor greathall, the bodies of Astos, Aerontar and Frida were quite dead and better-behaved than the scrag's and vampire's had been. Each bore weapons and other items of magic, especially Astos, and Aria found that the other three each had one of the same little strongly-aura'd 'music-stand' looking rods as the vampire. Among Astos's good number of items was a ring like that of all the others save for the four guests, a ring which no doubt he'd used to disguise himself as a light-skinned elven lord to dwell on Arvandor.<br/><br/>Two doors each broke the two long walls of the greathall; through the west were a larder and kitchen wing which led through two rooms back to the long hall and foyer room from which they'd first eavedsdropped on Astos and his guests.<br/><br/>Through the east, they found a lounge-like room with a billiards table, a liquid cabinet, two leather couches (one with sweatstains centered on elbow-, knee0, and buttocks- shaped impressions), and other masculine affectations. Through an open door to its north, was a second dining room with an opposite door back to the foyer chamber. Smaller and cozier than the greathall, it looked more often used, perhaps for smaller or more intimidate meals among the house-dwellers, or for  'second-tier' guests at larger banquets which overflowed from the greathall. Suggesting other uses still, the perceptive Rose would again notice scuffmarks of boots and high heeled shoes and kneecaps on the carpet by one side of the table, faint torso-shaped sweatstains in the wood of the table itself, and yet other and wine-darker surrounding stains, as if goblets had spilled outward from there.<br/><br/>Across the hall from this room, the northeast corner room was a library - shared by the firth and second floors alike. The chamber rose two stories, walled by bookshelves on every side, with a balcony ringing the wall at the height of the second floor. A small spiral stair within the room led between, and a door on the balcony was placed to be that leading to the catwalk.<br/><br/>Across said catwalk, completing the northwest corner of Westkeep, was a mirroring two-story room of diametrically different appointment: an indoor conservatory, extensively mirror-windowed (and magically sunlit; probably not a favored room of the vampiric guest). Warmer, more humid air blanketed tropical flowering trees and plants, and many secluded little stone paths and benches. With the same architecture as the library, a second-floor railed balcony overlooked much of the flora (and still other trees reached with broad banana leaves over it), with another spiral stair, and door to the catwalk.<br/><br/><br/><br/>with feather dusters, of course...<br/><br/>Our room-by-room algorithm is pretty clear, I got the sense from ya that you'd be-fine-to-prefer us glossing through the rest in the same manner.<br/><br/>Aria can probably tie a gag..or any other fancy knotwork needed ;D<br/><br/>Floor 3<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">(balcony)                (balcony)    1<br/>X X X - X X X X X X X X X X - X X X   2<br/>X . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
