smiled and slid behind the counter for a moment.  Taking the cursed ring with her and hiding it beneath the counter, then returning with something else.  She held out the small object, which glinted silver in the light shining through the door.<strong>  "Hold ssssstill, thissss will only hurt for a moment,"</strong>she warned before she pressed Zerxel down on the wood floor.  Then her free hand reached between Zerxels thighs and she pinched the hood of the drow's clit.  Zerxel was about to protest when Thrike removed her hand from Zerxel's chest, where she was holding it down and the lamia held up the object to Zerxel to see for a moment.  One elegant drow eyebrow arced upwards as she saw the shining curved barbell clearly.  With fluid movements that were rapid, the lamia spun one ball off the end of the barebell and brought it down towards Zerxel's sex.  Then a moment of pain as the lamia's finger grew into sharp talons and delicately pierced through the flesh of Zerxel's clitoral hood.  Zerxel cried out in surprise and a little bit of pain, but Thrike quickly inserted the barbell into the piercing wound, then recapped it with the ball, giving her a shiny new clitoral hood piercing.  Finally Thrike's tongue snaked out of her mouth and slathered the wound and the piercing with her saliva, and suddenly the momentary pain was totally gone, replaced only with a mild ache, and even that began to fade.<br/><br/><strong>"You ssssemed to enjoy my futa cock when I grew it.  Now that you have a bit of my corruption inssssside of you, thissss item'ssss magic will function for you.  When you will it, you may channel power into it and grow a lovely drow cock of your own.  I'm ssssure that your friendsss will appreciate that."</strong>Thrike smiled and then backed up, helping Zerxel to her feet as the drow looked around for her recently shed armor.  She pulled it on, despite being messier than she could remember being in her life.  Her body was still slick with slime from last night, but had also gained splatters of shugar's girl cum, mud from the clay golem, which had then been diluted slightly and sprayed down when the water elemental inside the clay golem had exploded.  Then she'd gotten fucked so hard that her thighs had been drenched down past her knees with her own juices, her face coated with a mixture of Shugar and Thrike's cum, and finally her womb, not just her cunt, but her very womb itself had been flooded almost to the point of bursting full of naga spunk.  Which of course had joined her own juices on her thighs and filling the crack of her ass while she'd been unconscious.  Yeah, Zerxel would have liked a bath, and that might have accounted for part of the reason she was eager to get back to Big Jack's tavern.<br/><br/>She pulled on the armor, leaving the g-string that rode inside the cleft of her labia and ass for last, of course, and paused to look down at her puffy vulva.  She felt slightly aroused, just a little, as she looked down at the gleaming silver balls that sat at the upper edge of her cleft, and couldn't help but smile.  It felt good.  The curse that had blocked the g-string and her nipple rings from feeling good was gone now.  Yes, the silk of her armor, the nipple rings, her new peircing, they felt sexy, felt good.  She smiled as she pulled the micro g-string into place, feeling the way it settled between her nether lips, sliding between the puffy outer lips and even between the cum slicked inner labia.  She pulled it up tight, as she had to do, giving herself a deep wedgie both in the front and the back, and was rewarded with the slight tingle of pleasure as she did so.  Yes, it was much better to have that ring gone from her finger.<br/><br/><em>"Thank you for your assistance, and for the sex, and not necessarily in that order.  If we have cause to stop by again, I'll happily trade with you again.  Hells, if I wasn't intending to proceed forward, I'd even consider staying myself, but as enjoyable as being your slave might be, our road is still quite long.  But again, thank you Thrike, and good luck to you."</em>she said as she smirked at the lamia.<br/><br/>The lamia nodded and spoke to all three,<strong>"Good luck to you asss well contestantsss, enjoy your giftsss, the trade wasss more than worth it for me." </strong>She smiled as her eyes glanced to the counter, making Zerxel wonder again what the scroll tube had contained, but knowing she likely wouldn't ever get an answer,<strong>"Maybe I will sssee you again in the future.  But I think not for the ressst of the day."</strong><br/><br/>The trio stepped back out into the air of the town that made up this level of the dungeon and looked at each other.  Shugar was the first to speak,<strong>"Well that was not only quite fun, but useful as well.  Lamia seed can empower my spells much more than dogman cum.  And let me tell you, I am pumped full of it right now."</strong>She patted her belly with a smile.<br/><br/>Bo nodded,<strong> "Aye, an I was so overcome by lust, I had tae join in.  But after Zerxel passed out, an tha monstergirl offered tae give me a dose of her power, I wasnae too sure at the time.  Oh aye, me lusts were gonna take that naga cock one way or another, but I was worried she might be tryin tae corrupt me.  But I donnae feel any different, other than havin a backside full of warm spunk I mean.  But I can feel it, can feel it's power somehow."</strong>Bo shrugged, but Shugar nodded as if it made sense.  Zerxel didn't feel that way, but did feel glad to be back to normal now that the cursed ring was off.  The cum in her womb must not have had it's power, as the power went to casting the spell to remove the ring?  At least that's what she reasoned.<br/><br/><em>"Well lets get back to the tavern,"</em>Zerxel said,<em>"I don't want to be out in the open when I start to slow down with pregnancy, and I certainly don't want to be anywhere unsafe when I birth out whatever contestant is re-constituting inside of me."</em><br/><br/>Bo and Shugar shared a look, but Bo nodded,<strong> "Aye, we can have a drink an a meal there, an maybe a bath too Shugar.  Ye'll like it, I promise."</strong><br/><br/>So the trio set out and spent the better part of the next two hours carefully backtracking through streets they had traveled.  They reasoned that it would be the safest to follow the exact route they'd taken to get there, less chance of surprises or the like.  The only danger they ran into was in the building that had housed the slimes.  While the slimes hadn't returned, the building itself was still in a state of extreme entropy, and they were very careful to pick their way through the crumbling ruins.   But finally they arrived back at the tipped tankard right around noon.  Zerxel's stomach made a small protesting growl as the smell of ale and meat wafted out the doors.  But Zerxel found Bo's hand on her wrist, stopping her.<strong> "Listen Zerxel, 'afore ye go in, I wannae talk to ye about something."</strong><br/><br/>Zerxel seemed confused by her friend's hesitatation,<em>"What is it Bo?"</em><br/><br/>Bo looked Zerxel right in the eyes and spoke plainly,<strong>"I been givin' this some thoughts.  I think yer plan's a real smart one.  This'ere's a safe enough place, an the reward the spiderlings'll give ye makes it a good trade.  But I know if'n I go in there and relax, bathe an what not, I'll lose Thrike's power that I've been holdin in.  Shugar too maybe I dunnae.  I was thinkin that you go in, clean yerself, rest, an when yer ready ye get yer contestant outtae yer belly.  It's a safe an' smart idea.  But it's been what... four hours since ye ate that fruit give or take?  An yer nae even showin yet.   Means it's likely tae be at least another eight hours till yer time comes due, I think." </strong>Bo scratched her head, and Zerxel knew why, this wasn't a normal pregnancy obviously, it was the soul of a contestant inside her.  She thought that rest might cause the soul to be ready to be reborn sooner, but she wasn't sure about that, soulfruit were notoriously inconsistent.<strong>"Anyways, I was thinkin me an Shugar should keep scoutin the level.  Maybe check out one o' the exits, an more importantly see if we cannae find me that golden door.  I'd not abandon ye tho, yer my friend, true.  An if ye want me tae stay I will.  But we'll lose a day or more waitin in the inn.  That could be time spent out here, lookin fer the door.  I promise we'll come back before nightfall outside, an stay here a few hours an sleep.  Maybe ye'll be ready tae go then, with a contestant joinin us at our side, maybe ye won't be ready.  But I do know that if we're not back an yer ready tae leave, ye can always track the golden key about me neck.  I promise I won't leave the level without comin back fer ye, an I won't go if ye ask me tae stay, but I think this would be the smartest move.  The three of us could lose a lot of time out here, if we spend some time in there, aye?"</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/>PLEASE review the changes to the lust system in the OOC.  Even though I said that the ring grants a point towards her maximum, the way I changed the system actually makes it more like 2 points.  But it also puts an upward 'cap' on her lust.  Basically now if she hits maximum lust she becomes an NPC who can do nothing but think about sex.  In addition Zerxel is now at a state of lust where she is pretty much always moderately aroused.  So I ask you to play that up, especially the physical effects when appropriate.  Mind you she still has an iron will, and even at moderate lust she can gain 4 more points of arousal and you're still in control.  So while her body may be aroused that's not going to stop her drow willpower.<br/><br/>Finally with the changes to the arousal and the corruption / lactation, make sure you read over those changes and let me know if there is anything you don't like.   Side note, I spent literally hours yesterday in photoshop fucking with these three images so i hope you like them.  lol.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><br/><a name="user_clitring"> </a><br/><div style="text-align:

class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><br/>This small curved silver barbell is a fairly normal looking genital piercing, although it does radiate moderate transmutation magic.  It may only be worn as a clitoral piercing, and attempting to wear it anywhere else cause it's magical abilities to cease.  When worn, piercing the hood of a contestant's clitoris, she may call upon the magic at will.  Gaining a point of lust, she causes her clit to swell rapidly and take on the size and shape of a cock that would be considered average for her race.  Unlike most magical items in the dungeon, this ability may be used even if the character is already at her maximum lust.<br/><br/>The change to Zerxel's arousal score has already been noted below.<br/><br/>The piercing has the following effects;<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The wearer gains one point of minimum lust. <strong>*</strong></li><li>The wearer also gains a slight 'familiarity' with lust, raising her minimum lust upper cap by one.<strong>*</strong>  </li><li>The wearer gains the ability to channel a point of lust into the ring (raising her current lust by one) in order to cause her clitoris to swell and grow into a functioning and erect futa-cock.</li><li>This ability may be used even if the contestant is already at their upper lust cap.</li></ul><strong>*</strong> <em>= These two are permanent changes to Zerxel and continue even if piercing is removed or suppressed, as they represent a change to her nature caused by the initial donning of the item.</em><br/></td><td>   </td><td><div
