Lynch seemed to keep her eyes squarely on Hailton and stayed no more than a step or two behind.<br/><br/>Finally after a period of time that seemed both intolerably long and yet also only mere moments after passing through the archway, they stopped at a rather  nondescript bust of a bearded man with bushy eyebrows.  Hailton placed one hand on the statue and then gestured for the other two women to do so as well.  She said, "Think of this as the doorknob.  You need to know the command word to unlock the door, and when I speak it, anyone touching the bust will enter his office."<br/><br/>Lynch finally asked, "What is this strange hallway?   Why is it so confusing?"<br/><br/>Hailton rolled her golden eyes and explained, "There is no hallway, it's a simple device to keep out unwanted guests, now hurry, if he doesn't know we are here yet, he will soon."<br/><br/>With that the three women placed their hands on the bust and the teifling spoke a word of power that slid through Ylene's mind without stopping or registering.  The world faded to black for a moment then they found themselves in the center of a plush office decorated in book shelves, old wood, and dark silk cloth.  Directly in front of them sitting at a massive desk was a robed man whose face matched the bust they'd touched.  Dark black bushy eyebrows and beard beneath the cowl quivered in surprise at the appearance of the three women in his office.  It also drew his attention away from what he had been looking at.  To the side, bent over a table was an eldarin woman.  Behind her a drow woman stood, holding her wrists.  The drow woman was clad in a leather corset and high heeled boots that looked painted on.<br/><br/>But the thing Ylene noticed right away was the tell tale glow of magical energy around the woman's hips... a glow that ended at the futa cock she was sporting.  A cock that was currently plunging in and out of the eldarin woman's dripping cunt.  Ylene knew what that glow meant, it was The Anjial !  The drow woman had grown a futacock using her mistresses artifact.<br/><br/>Linfei stood from behind his desk, his robes falling over his erect cock, it was obvious he had been jerking off watching the sex show in front of him.  "Lirdylene Teken'urden!  He said recognizing Ylene, even though she'd never met him before.  "d'Nevein's little slut.  I'd heard you had gotten out of the murder rap, and wondered when I'd find you bothering me.  But this is perfect, breaking into my office, now I can kill you in self defense."<br/><br/>Then to the drow he yelled, "Rialinie, leave that little whore, you can finish later.  Kill these fools... starting with my traitorous apprentice!"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">roll initiative.  14 or higher and you go first.</div></div>
