<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/g0uaW54.jpg)</div><br/>Mara smirked as Nirael seemed to recognize his failings, the mistakes he had made.  She clucked her tongue as he finished speaking, her tail swishing behind her sensually as she shifted her weight from the ball of one foot to the other.  An action that caused her full breasts to jiggle and her hips to sashay seductively,<strong>"Tsk, such a shame.  I did like you quite a bit, you had so much potential.  Now to realize your mistake, it makes me hesitate for even that moment longer.  It would be a shame to kill you, you have so many..." </strong>She purred as her eyes glanced downwards to his still partially erect cock, slick and shiny with the combined juices of his own spunk and the matriarch's feminine juices.  Her lip curled in a smile and the tip of her tongue slid out to lick her ruby red lips,<strong> "...wonderful assets.  If you do not care to prove that you are who these people think, if you know that you are but a pretender, not the one they seek, then let me offer you an alternative to battle, one you might find more seductive."</strong><br/><br/>She reached behind her back, to where the strap of her thong was that barely covered her sex and tugged.  The garment fell free and dropped between her thighs to the ground below.  Nirael could not help but notice the liquid lust that trailed with the material, connecting her swollen and aroused pussy lips to the silken cloth as it fell.  The thin clear strand of demonic pussy juice breaking free when the cloth had slid far enough away.  One tendril of the arousal snapping back and splattering wetly against her thigh, only to be joined shortly by another slow trickle of liquid hot lust flowing from her now exposed slit.  Nirael broke his attention away from the sexy and seductive sight of her juices to look back up at her and her pleased grin.  In her hand she held a bit of that silken cloth that had made up her thong.  But hanging from that silk was something, and very quickly he recognized what it was.  It gold toned, a shaft with protrusions, the same color as his half of the artifact.  The other half had been within arms reach of him for days, since he'd met Mara!<br/><br/>She circled him, and likewise he circled warily of those sharp claws as she spoke.  Thankfully the orgy of elven, changeling, and sole human bodies that was occurring in the temple was far enough away that they didn't risk stepping on anyone in the middle of carnal acts.  Also thankfully the kiss that the matriarch had bestowed upon him allowed him to focus his attentions on the demoness in front of him, and not give into the overwhelming lust that had driven him just a short while ago.  Nirael realized a moment too late why Mara’adaki’zain had been circling.  She stopped over his robes and her tail shot downwards and scooped it up.  With her hand she caught it and digging into it withdrew the half of the artifact he had carried.  She slapped both hands together and a blinding flash spilled from between her clawed hands before she dropped the item, letting it fall to the end of the chain his half had been on.<br/><br/>There, now the artifact reformed, it became obvious.  It looked like a key, golden and bejeweled, catching the pink primal light as it danced on the end of the chain.  As it spun one side held inky black night inside of it, the other bright white.<strong>"So here's my offer then lover,"</strong>Mara’adaki’zain said as she held the key out between them,<strong>"If what you truly wish is to protect these people, see them home, I shall offer you an alternative to fighting.  Surrender yourself to me, fully, completely, totally.  Your body becomes mine fully, your soul mine to use, my every desire your only wish.  Become my pet, fully, and for all of eternity.  Do this and I shall grant the same privilege to any elf who wishes it.  I shall take all of my new slaves home to the place where they were from, to the prison I was forced to guard.  Those who swear absolute loyalty to me, body, mind, and soul, shall escape this place to serve me however I please."</strong><br/><br/>She let the key close to her body until it brushed against her flesh.  Then pulled it upwards till it caressed one of her hardened nipples.  A soft moan escaped her lips and she added,<strong>"It could be fun you know.  A succubus knows the arts of pleasure better than almost any in existence.  I would bring you heights of passion that you could not dream of, until you finally broke from the pleasure.  All you'd have to do is give up, everything."</strong><br/><br/>She brought the key to her lips then and tilting her head back let the edge dangle across her lips, her long tongue sliding out to wrap around the shaft suggestively.  Then she looked back at him as she tied the key about her neck, her wings unfurling as she made a pouty face,<strong>"Otherwise, yes, prove your worth, defeat me, and destroy my mortal form.  Send me back to Ah'mie's hell where I shall be tormented for failing her for a hundred years.  Then you can take your prize and save these people."</strong><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">I can't imagine Nirael accepting that offer.  But if you do, that's essentially the end of the game as Nirael loses all free will.<br/><br/>Now, Nirael can continue to talk, but he's not going to sway her opinion.  She plans on defeating him, and if she does, offering enslavement to any of the elves, before leaving him there in the elvish village, quite probably alone.  She will not attack first, instead waiting to see what sort of an attack Nirael launches before immediately counter attacking.  But time is a factor, as the matriarch's kiss won't last forever.  Each 'round' from here out (or each post if he doesn't attack) Nirael must roll a will save vs charm.  If he fails, her seductive aura and the raw power of primal lust breaks the enchantment that the Matriarch put on him.  He loses the will to fight and gives into her seduction.  Starting with your next post, the DC is 5  <em>(should be no problem as your will save is a 7 i think and he gets +2 against charm.  The only real problem would be if you rolled a 1)</em>.  But it increases every turn, the second round it will be DC 6, then DC 8 on round 3, then DC 11 on round 4, then DC 15 on round 5, then DC 20 on round 6, then DC 26 on round 7, then DC 33 on round 8, at which point even with his +2 versus charm, he'll only succeed on a natural 20.<br/><br/>Mara has stats equal to a standard pathfinder succubus, though she is NOT a standard succubus... and has a few tricks up her sleeve.<br/>http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/demon/succubus<br/><br/>However the good news is that the open and flowing source of primal above is empowering any primal spell Nirael casts.  Any spell with the primal descriptor may have the Empower spell added for free.<br/>http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/empower-spell-metamagic---final<br/><br/>Also, if he chooses, he may apply merciful to any spell that is NOT primal, though it does not gain empowered if he does this.<br/>http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/merciful-spell-metamagic<br/><br/>Finally, the matiarch will cast a defensive spell on the members of the orgy, and they can not be harmed, keeping Nirael and Mara inside a 40 foot wide circle where there are no bystanders.</div></div>
