<strong>Reliyian - Vile, Unspeakable Acts</strong><br/><br/>Finally victorious and free to enjoy its elven victim, the creature let out a satisfied rumble which buzzed a bit too much to be a proper growl. The creature's heavy cock rested inside her a bit too snugly, a fact which the creature was well aware of, and, by its wide, panting grin, looked to very much enjoy. Indeed, rather than immediately pulling back to begin fucking her in ernest, the creature slowly tugged her a bit further into itself, pulling with the multitude of tiny, slick limbs clutching her legs and lower body even as it pushed with the larger tentacles binding her arms behind her back. It rumbled again, this time in more base pleasure, as it stretched and shaped her tight passage to better match its great length and girth.<br/><br/>Even as it settled within her, occasionally twitching and shifting as the pressure and friction sent shivers of pleasure up its shaft and across its large body, the creature didn't neglect Reliyian. While the small tendrils continued their various mindless movements against her, a few of them moved with more clear intent. Those nearest her womanhood no longer hid their intentions. A few wriggled inside, rubbing both against her inner walls and the thickness penetrating her. Another pair sought out her clit, the tiny, five-part head of one closing over its tip to stroke and ever-so-lightly squeeze, while the other encircled it at the base, sliding back and forth; up and down. Given her ability to summon sharp blades and freezing cold even as restrained as she was, the beast wanted her as thoroughly distracted as it could manage before it truly took its prize.<br/><br/>For a few moments, the creature simply remained this way, making doubly sure that it had rendered Reliyian helpless before taking what it wanted. Then, finally, the creature began to draw back, leaving her empty where she had previously been over-full. The handful of small tendrils that had entered with her left with it, stroking the soft skin between and teasing at the edges of her pussy rather than trying to compete with with the creature's huge, masculine organ.<br/><br/>The withdrawal was intentionally slow and painstaking, the creature doing its best to draw out the sensation of Reliyian gripping it tightly before thrusting powerfully back inside of her. For a while, at least, it would continue this sort of slow, methodical coupling: sudden powerful bursts of activity as it pushed back within her, followed by a gradual, stimulating retreat.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Elven Exploitation</div><div class="spoiler_body">I approve of the minor consequence, but want to check that we're on the same page here: it represents exhaustion and distraction in our young mage, correct? As it'll obviously linger a bit longer than this one scene.<br/><br/>The severe consequence will come out some time during this post-combat segment. Do note that it may be a bit different to treat than a purely physical wound would be. When Healergirl returns, Aeryn will still be able to use her Lore skill to improve its recovery, of course, but the applicable aspects will be different (for instance, a Create Advantage roll to create a <em>Well Rested</em> aspect after a few days in town would be more helpful than a <em>Tons of Bandages</em> aspect).<br/><br/>Combat now ends, and Reliyian receives four fate points (1 concede, 2 consequences, 1 bonus, as mentioned, for the disproportionate penalty of extra consequences, particular a severe, this early in the story) for conceding out of the fight. However, conceding does bring a bit bigger penalties than taking consequences then winning a fight. In this instance, would you be fine with the creature finding Reliyian's orb before she does? You would, of course, have a chance to recover it down the line, either from the creature or from something else. If you'd rather have some other concession result, feel free to keep discussing it here, or in a PM to me.</div></div><br/><strong>Eshalu - Quiet, Perhaps a Bit Too Quiet</strong><br/><br/>Gloom sat over the little section of riverbank, despite the midday sun still making the area superficially bright and cheery. Though no more meaningful memories or messages invited themselves into Eshalu's mind, an unquiet aura, somewhere between frustration and simple, unadultered sorrow, clung to her.<br/><br/>Eventually, however, this too faded away. In its place, came a calm beyond calm: not the stillness of death or the agitated, confused echoes of a life long past, but the very essence of acceptance. The creatures that occasionally strayed down to the riverbank or minded their own business along the cliffs above it moved slowly and furtively, as though not wanting to disturb anything. Even the river seemed to flow a bit more quietly.
