(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/8/88/Spectator5e.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171011162950)<br/><strong>Mez<br/>Valenland, Old Watchtower<br/>Tag: Elsbeth, Evita, Eventually</strong><br/><br/>Mez floated a little curiously at the flashing of what seemed decidedly not womanly.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Notes for reference</div><div class="spoiler_body">A reader quickly finds the notes falling into one of three categories: Magical theories, Demonology (That certainly explains why the towers mistress lived out in the wildernis all alone) .. 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/></div></div>"Hmnn? Oh the notes.. Mistress was quite secretive about her work, why would I know more about it. I guess you can find Shamans in the Wildlands.. as for my tongue.. a-hem.. I really rather like watching, I mean.. if you insisted.." Mez mused, whilest Elsbeth thought back...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Knowledge Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">Baron Raven and his daughter, the Baroness are an exeptionally powerful and influential family, having a hand in almost every scheme in Senval. There are rumours that they are unafraid of using dark magic to further their own ends and by comparison they are as far out of the Ebonblade's league as He'd been out of hers. <br/>Elsbeth recalls a rumour that Lady Raven controls far more of the nobles Senate of Raven than any other family, thanks in part to the assistance of something called a 'Cult of the Redeemed Queen'. But of course there is no proof for such things.<br/><br/>The Silvers family by comparison, lead by Count Silver, are known for their endless riches, owning pretty much all the silver-mines in the world, with a few competitors suffering unlucky accidents, and the only exeption being small, barely worked on Hawken mines. Some even mumble that the main reason the Silvers family controls the flow of all silver is because they are werewolves, but Elsbeth is pretty sure this is just a rumour. What is not a rumour is that Count Silver is a near legendary duelist and well respected, even if he lacks seats in the senate.</div></div><br/>"I mean, I've done it for the mistress, but as I said, she is my mistress, I've only just met you and.. hoh.. someone is at the door!" Mez commented, whilest floating downstairs. From a window you can see a fiery looking redhead with a slight flush to her cheeks and dust from the road standing before the entrance door. If not stopped, he would open it to oggle who stood there with curious glances..<br/><br/><strong>DM<br/>Tag: Evita</strong><br/><br/>Evita struggles to decide for a while. Each of the Inns had risks, but she could make it to the tower by moonlight. In the end, making her path to a safer area, even if that path was dangerous won out, and she made her way, down the Maldur road, past a fallen-over wagon and finally towards the Valenlands. She almost got lost in a forest, but with some effort and, as it seemed the wolves had started looking for other prey, she made her way to an old watchtower.. on the way, either the curse, of the parasite, kept sending waves of warm arousal throug her body, so it was not only the long march that left her kind of .. bothered.<br/><br/>She could tell it was inhabited by the light, magically illuminating the first floor.<br/><br/>Your Alter self spell ended.<br/><br/>(Lucky you, despite traveling in the late evening hours, which would normally risk two encounters, you rolled a 20 on the first go, so I save you the second roll. :P )
