Delia's blade struck true, opening the guts of one of the foul behooved beasts across the country road.  Her blade slicked red and protective blessings yet upon her, the satyr's comrades lost heart.  All prospects of an easy hump over and death staring them in the face, they turned and fled into the woods.  They would think twice before attacking an armed woman, even if she was alone.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The rest of the trip was fairly uneventful, but mentally and physically Delia had grown exhausted.  She found herself at the edge of the country estate.<div class="floatright">(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dishonoredvideogame/images/e/e7/Brigmore_Witches_02.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131014005859)</div>In spite of the best efforts of the groundskeeper, if there had been any, it was overgrown with greenery which seemed to not just advance from without but crop out of the cracks of the house from within.  There were no obvious guards, but figures seemed to move around the windowed rooms of the house.  The contrast of the sun splashing on the white plaster walls made it impossible to make out much more of the interior from this vantage and time of day, however.<br/><br/>The heavy wooden doors were connected to the country road by a long winding cobbled road, largely overgrown with greenery.  A half-forgotten wrought iron-tipped stone wall ensconced the grounds of the estate, but where it had not been grown under or over it had been toppled outright.  It was clear as day to Delia that Gaia had penetrated deeply here, but such was inevitable--anything in this region beyond the walls of the city fell prey to their depredations sooner or later.  Without the food the countryside provided, however, the labour class would starve.<br/><br/>Delia could simply walk up an knock on the door, calling on Count Lactus as was well within her rights--or she could attempt a more covert infiltration.  The shadowed country road left her hard to detect by anyone looking out a window before she advanced onto the grounds, and she could always loop around the walls to see what she might find...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Delia Corbeanu</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://thumb.ibb.co/fuc8Ro/30fbd43781f5d2d5f0e51e696e63b06a_gothic_fantasy_art_fantasy_women.jpg) (https://ibb.co/fuc8Ro)<br/>Health: 3/4<br/>Pleasure: 0/5<br/>Anal Virgin?: Y<br/>Oral Virgin?: Y<br/>Vaginal Virgin?: Y<br/><br/>PERCEPTION: 1/2<br/>(technology): 0<br/>Investigate:  3<br/>Truesight:  2<br/>Detect:  1<br/><br/>BODY: 0/2<br/>(gaia): 0<br/>Melee:  3<br/>Fuck:  1<br/>Resist:  2<br/><br/>CHARISMA: 0/3<br/>(corruption): 0<br/>Diplomacy:  1<br/>Spellcraft:  2<br/>Willpower:  3</div></div>
