<strong>DM<br/>Mage tower, first floor<br/>Tag: Ashley, primarly</strong><br/><br/>Mez watched Ashley ascend, offering the equivalent of a shrug for someone without shoulders.<br/><br/>Ashley spents some time categorizing the copious amount of notes. He quickly finds them falling into one of three categories: Magical theories, Demonology (That certainly explains why the towers mistress lived out all here in the open) .. and theories about the curse. The mage of the tower was certainly smart, but Ashley has little issue working through it all.<br/><br/>Well, the last is not a large fraction of the paperwork here, but naturally, it is the most important, manifesting itself in a couple of diary entries. However, the last one is.. rather unhelpful.<br/><br/><em>Divination sucessful. So magnificient, beautiful, her skin, smooth, rivulets of sweat wandering down her frame as the lucky one kneels before her. And yet not free! I have to see her again, this perfect form, I thought she took a comely form to seduce. Foolishness! Her true apperance, so inhuman, so beautiful, all I can think about is how to serve her best, how to make her take me, to pleasure this superior being that fills me with her blessed darkness.</em>The entry continues on that way for a while, and Ashley feely a little flushed after reading it for a while. It seemed the mage of the tower had been quite.. affected, by lustful desires.<br/><br/>Ashley needs a few moments to calm down, ((Increase your postcount by +1 additionally!)) and quickly decides to return to the first entry relating to the curse:<br/><br/><em>I've come to regret my decision. The knowledge I gained is every bit as promised, but my mind assaulted by dark urges, distracting me from my research.<br/>I'm beginning to suspect that my base desires are being used against me. <del>That is easy enough to ignore</del> Trying to simply ignore my desires for a few days, I had an incredibly vivid 'wet dream'. It seems that supressing my urges did no good.<br/>I have no choice but to somehow deal with the fiend.</em><br/><br/>The next page continues on:<br/><em>Blessings of the church would help, but I doubt they'd understand my genius or the necessity of my mission, leaving opposing the fiend the only way. The.. fantasies have grown more intense, fantasies of submitting to a dark force and sharing my submission with others. Why does the fiend need servants in this world, a cult?</em>Below that, there is a list, crossed out and slightly damaged now.<br/><br/><em>To consider:<br/><del>1.Find out what kind of fiend I'm dealing with. Devils are most likely, but demonic or other forces are not impossible. Traveling to Hawken I reali---------</del> Praise mistress, the beautiful mistress<br/><del>2.Get a planar shift scroll </del><br/>3.Find out exactly where my contract is held<br/>4. Aquire and destroy the original.<br/><del>Find out the goals of this fiend.</del> Why is she doing this?<br/>Bargain with an opposing entity?<br/>Perhaps she bargained with others. <del>Develope a spell to contact help if necessary?</del><br/>Find a way to slow down the effects on myself without side effects- use as bargaining tool with others?<br/><del>-Fairy leaf seems to grant the mind an increased, short lived resiliency. Stupid shamans make it hard to get more.</del><br/>-Noticed an increasing sensitivity to sacred objects and holy water. Could potentially slow down the curse but caused skin irritation, <del>will need to test later.</del> Holy things are bad for me.<br/>-Masturbation helps calm me down.! ! ! Touching myself is good. I'm a good girl.<br/><br/>I'm growing suspicious that this fiend coming in my hour of need was no coincidence, but only the Ravens of Senval and the Silvers family knew of my research. Foolish humans.<br/></em><br/><br/>The next page is actually a note-page with the names and addresses of various people, among them Ashley finds the two Senval families mentioned just before. There is also a note allowing a non-native entry to Hawken territory, a few weeks old now, peculiarly, there's also a flier for a 'Pink Dragon's Inn' in Maldur central, with the name 'Scarlet' noted on the back.<br/>What more could be gained from the notes begins to quickly derail into more erotic fiction than reliable information and would take more time to shift through.<br/><br/>
