(Will DC: 22), Blindsense, 20 ft.</em><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Ghetto of Chattels, Menagerie Square/11:00 a.m./inflatetress/Snake</strong><br/><br/><em>NPC: Alyiara</em><br/><br/>At the counteroffer, Alyiara paused to consider.  It was over twice what her initial price was, but it was fair judgement given the pair of large breasts that the human possessed.  She'd serve as an excellent pleasure slave to the lesser beings in the House: the goblins, the hobgoblins, the bugbears, and the kobolds.  Sometimes a little incentive was even more effective than merely applying the lash.  Though both were needed in order to achieve the best effect.  "Done." she declared, daring anyone else to offer another bid to raise the initial price higher.  There was a tense silence as the seconds ticked quietly by.  Apparently, no one was willing to risk the attention or the wrath of d'Szeossen by starting a bidding war.  It made sense not to fight over scraps.<br/><br/>Drawing out a small pouch, she casually dangled it in front of the impressive-looking man.  While he too sported human features, it was obvious from his aura that he was much, much more.  Even as she came closer, her instincts that were honed by hours spent killing fools in the darkened caverns of the Underdark shouted to her to stay back.  But she was drow so she ignored those inclinations for now.  "Your payment.  I'd like her presented<em>ista'bewl</em>," she remarked.  It was a common female slave pose used by the drow where the said slave would have her hands chained behind her back, a short spreader bar placed between their thighs, spreading them to present her sex to her new master, as well as forcing her to waddle awkwardly.  Finally, a collar would lower her head and force her eyes to the floor, unable to lift them ,and an iron pole would be laid vertically against the slave's back and connected to the collar and the middle of the wrist chains to force her to rigidly to arch it and thrust out her chest.  A length of short chain would then be added to the front of the collar and the owner would drag the slave where he or she pleased, often using a short whip to encourage the slave to waddle faster much to the amusement of any onlookers.  It also was a severe pose, used for slaves who were particularly disobedient and disrespectful.<br/><br/>Now admittedly, the human female hadn't done anything openly disrespectful, but her very presence offended Alyiara.  So that was reason enough to order this pose and this humiliation.
