<strong>Janafae Llaeloth</strong><br/><br/>As Janafae knelt there, watching Faeremhara take her punishment, she felt a foreign presence in her mind.  Not the rough, forceful intrusion Zekolyn preferred, but instead a softer, more lascivious presence, slipping its way into her mind like silk.  It was the succubus Andariel who was standing next to her, of course, and the demon had apparently noticed her enjoyment of the Matron's treatment.<br/><br/><em>I don't think there's a Drow in this room who isn't.</em>She responded, when asked if she was enjoying the show.  It was the safe answer, laying blame with more people than just herself.  Hopefully, it would keep her from being singled out for punishment.<em>Including Mother, though I doubt she would ever admit to it.</em><br/><br/>And then the Yochlol bade her to rise to her feet and come closer, and the Knight of Lolth obeyed, doing her best not to stare as XhyriNeerune began to toy with the Matron's body.  It seemed as though her schedule for the day was being preempted, as the Yochlol wanted her to spend the rest of the day escorting her as she made her way around the house.  It was an honor to be offered such a position, of course, so she had no choice but to obey.<br/><br/>"Understood."  Janafae stated, bowing before the powerful demon.  "I will obey."<br/><br/>She was dismissed fairly quickly after that, and wasted no time in returning to the bath, having a few of the attendants clean her body as the Yochlol and the Matron spoke.  Zekolyn slipped back in shortly after XhyriNeerune left, and was leaning back against the wall, watching, as Janafae's body was dried off.<br/><br/><em>So, who was the shapeshifter?</em>He asked telepathically, as the attendants did their work.<br/><br/><em>A Yochlol, one of Lolth's Handmaidens.</em>The Anti-Paladin answered.<em>She teleported in, and gave Mother a rather intense punishment for not showing the proper respect.  Now, I'm to escort her around the House as she makes some sort of inspection.</em><br/><br/><em>Oh?  Pity I missed that one.  Dress yourself in armor today.  We'll want to make a good impression on this woman.</em><br/><br/>When she was dry, Janafae complied with her partner's demand, donning on the various magic items she was used to wearing and commanding her ectoplasmic armor to take the shape of an actual set of rather imposing full-plate armor.  The armor clung to her skin quite comfortably, though it was a bit stiff to move in, and the ectoplasm it was made of was lighter than steel, though just as strong.<br/><br/>Then, holding in her hand a strand of prayer beads and a smooth steel rod etched with images of webbing, she activated both magic items and cast three spells, spells intended to increase the power of both herself and her partner.<br/><br/>For the first spell, Janafae cloaked Zekolyn with multiple plates of black armor.  Magically conjured, the armor was completely weightless and would change shape to fit him no matter what form he was in.<br/><br/>The second spell strengthened the bond between the two of them, allowing them to share their senses with one another, and thereby boost their ability to perceive danger.  Her partner had used this spell to subject her to some humiliating sensations, a few times, but it had proven to be worth the embarrassment.  The only downside was that they were prevented from moving more than ten feet from one another, in order to maintain the link.<br/><br/>The third and final spell required the dragon to take his true form for a few moments, skin rippling and shifting into scales and the various magic items he wore shifting around to match his new shape.  Once Janafae had retrieved her lance from the saddle that he wore in dragon form, he shifted into Drow form again, this time choosing to take the shape of an attractive male drow of obvious draconic heritage.  The third spell empowered her weapon, magically enchanting it to strike true and with great force, and the weapon was strapped across her back afterwards.<br/><br/>And so it was that the Knight of Lolth joined the Handmaiden and the Matron in the main hall, taking up a proper guard position near the demon, while her steed took up a guard position near herself.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Janafae uses her Lesser Rod of Extend Spell and her Bead of Karma while casting her morning spells.  First, she casts Golden Barding on Zekolyn, giving him +8 armor for the next 20 hours.<br/><br/>Then, she casts Greater One Mind, and uses her Anti-Paladin abilities to share the spell with her mount, granting them both a +4 insight bonus to Listen and Spot, scent, and a +2 bonus on attack rolls and melee damage rolls while mounted for the next 20 hours.<br/><br/>Finally, she casts Greater Magic Weapon on her lance, raising its enhancement bonus to +2 for the next 20 hours.</div></div>
