				<strong>Golarion.</strong>&nbsp; The third planet from the sun.&nbsp; Most of Golarion's surface is covered in water spread out over five oceans and nine seas.&nbsp; The landmass is broken up into eight continents.&nbsp; Golarion has a 24 hour day, a seven day week (Moonday, Toilday, Wealday, Oathday, Fireday, Starday and Sunday), and a 52 week year broken up into 12 months corresponding to 12 deities.<br><br>Yep, just like Earth.<br><br><strong>The Inner Sea.</strong>&nbsp; It is one of the most heavily traveled and populated bodies of water in all of Golarion.<br><br>Think Mediterranean.<br><br><strong>The Isle of Kirtos.</strong>&nbsp; Situated in the center of the Inner Sea, the Isle of Kirtos is also the largest of the islands in this body of water.<br><br><strong>Absalom.</strong>&nbsp; It is also known as "the City at the Center of the World,"&nbsp; and is situated on the southern coast of the Isle of Kirtos.&nbsp; Absalom is a key location for commercial, military and religious purposes in the local area as well as the entire world.&nbsp; <br><br>For dates, years are counted from the time of the establishment of the city, the Absalom Reckoning (AR).&nbsp; The importance and influence of Absalom upon the Inner Sea and the whole of Golarion cannot be overstated.&nbsp; <br><br>The large city is divided into 13 smaller districts.<br><br><strong>The Ascendant Court.</strong>&nbsp; One of Absalom's districts as well as the city's religious hub, the Ascendant Court is located at the center of "the City at the Center of the World."<br><br><strong>The Pleasure Salon of Calistria.</strong>&nbsp; Located in the Ascendant Court of Absalom is this temple of the goddess of lust, trickery and revenge.<br><br>The salon is a bright, well-kept building that blends in with the temples of other deities.&nbsp; The sole hint at the nature of the salon's main form of worship is in the extensive reliefs that wrap the upper levels of the salon's exteriors, depicting dozens of comely humanoids (most humans and elves, but with a smattering of other races mixed in) engaged in enthusiastic, acrobatic and creative forms of promiscuity.<br><br>Within the salon, depictions of the same sort cover nearly every available surface, and many of these scenes focus on Calistria herself.&nbsp; The main hall is always staffed with priests and prostitutes available for patrons or visitors.<br>

				It's around noon on the first day of the second month of the year.&nbsp; You have entered the Pleasure Salon of Calistria.&nbsp; Guards stand by the door, preventing the few clients looking for a good time at this hour from entering, usually by pointing at a sign reading, "Closed until this evening for religious observance."&nbsp; The invitation grants you passage, and dozens of prostitutes form two lines, creating a path for you to follow.&nbsp; They offer long hugs and lingering kisses, each saying something like "Well met, my sister, and welcome."<br><br>The path leads to a pedestal surrounded by a circle of pillows, each with one of your names on it.&nbsp; A large circle of chairs surrounds the pillows, unlabeled, no doubt for an audience.&nbsp; After all of you arrive and take your place, one of the women stands on the pedestal.<br>

Clearly, our goddess Calistria is pleased by our deeds in her name, and favors our homage to her by having such fetching and comely maidens enter and join our holy temple to continue her work.</strong><br><br>She turned to the priestess who spoke of her.<br><br><strong>"Satinder Morne, thank you for that most lovely introduction.&nbsp; Your pretty painted lips and skillful tongue utter words that bring pleasure to my ears and mind, just as they have previously created unrivaled bliss in... other parts of me.</strong><br><br>The other prostitutes shared a nice laugh as Satinder ran the tip of her tongue across her upper lip and winked.&nbsp; Dyrianna turned back to the group of initiates, stepping off the pedestal and slowly walking around<br><br><strong>"I have the honor of already knowing some of you well."</strong><br><br>She looked at Ember.<br><br><strong>"For others, I know a relative of yours who has walked these halls."</strong><br><br>She looked at Tyira.<br><br><strong>"For the rest, I know you not at all except by the exceptional reputation that precedes you."</strong><br><br>Dyrianna looked at each of the other initiates.<br><br><strong>"All of you, I hope to get to know better, as each and every one of you shares great potential.&nbsp; Calistria's graces have smiled upon you.&nbsp; You were flowers growing in the wild, and here you will have the opportunity to find roots, grow, develop, bloom, and entice others to inhale your scent, drink your nectar, and feel the softness of your petals.&nbsp; With greater service to our goddess, greater fortune will come upon you.<br><br>"As Satinder said, my name is Dyrianna.&nbsp; As ranking sacred prostitute and manager of this temple, it is my duty and honor to serve Calistria by helping others serve her as well.&nbsp; <br><br>"Twenty years ago, I sat my bottom on one of the very pillows you are right now resting your ripe round rumps upon, and I told this tale of where I came from to my fellow initiates of Calistria back then.&nbsp; I will do the same for you now."</strong><br><br>She stepped back upon the pedestal.<br><br><strong>"As a young, untouched blossom of a girl becoming a woman, my parents were slain during a caravan raid by bandits and I was kidnapped.&nbsp; I, too, would have been killed, but my captors found purpose in my beauty and grace, and saw profit by keeping me alive.&nbsp; <br><br>"They had their way with me more than any female should bear, and they relished in the way my body betrayed my desire to be unmolested.&nbsp; I quickly learned that by giving them what they wanted, I would be spared at least some suffering, and given at least some sustenance that was not produced from the sacks between their legs.<br><br>"Eventually they tired of me, and instead of killing me and leaving my broken body to rot, I was to be sold as a slave in a sin pit of the Coins district here in Absalom, one of the only areas in the city where slavery was, and still is, legal.&nbsp; <br><br>"While buyers and bidders appraised me with their eyes and hands, I felt at the time that my future would be even darker than my present and recent past.&nbsp; I was godless, but prayed to any deity who would listen that they mercifully end my existence then and there, and to punish those who put me in that position.<br><br>"It was fate and Calistria's will that a priest of this very temple had a vision that drew him to the sin pits.&nbsp; He found me and spoke with me, treating me as a person instead of an object for the first time since that caravan raid.&nbsp; He asked me three questions:<br><br>"'Is it your wish to avenge the family you have lost against those who have taken them from you?<br><br>"'Are you willing to make such vengeance happen by using your beauty to create lust and intellect to use trickery?<br><br>"'Will you accept the aid of the goddess Calistria in exchange for service in her name?'"[/i]<br><br>"With three passionate affirmative responses and promises of how would serve him and his goddess with my heart, mind, body and soul, he paid for me.&nbsp; What happened between then and now... will be told another time."</strong><br><br>Dyrianna smiled with a naughty glint in her eye.&nbsp; It was a classic lesson - give a little and promise so much more.<br><br><strong>"Now it is your turn, my new sisters.&nbsp; This phallus in my hand has been in the hands of every initiate as they told their story of how they came to be here.&nbsp; Now, I invite you to do the same.&nbsp; Let's start with you..."</strong><br><br>Dyrianna lavished the party with praise and told the story of how she was kidnapped and nearly sold into slavery, but was saved by a priest of Calistria.

I'm not like them."</strong><br><br>She shook her head, mirroring the gesture of disappointment her parents gave her numerous times.&nbsp; Analoral shrugged and looked at the floor, standing pigeon-toed with one heel up.<br><br><strong>"They weren't happy about that.&nbsp; And I wasn't happy that they weren't happy also.&nbsp; They kept me locked up in one of their towers.&nbsp; Well, not really locked up, but it sure felt that way sometimes.&nbsp; <br><br>"They wouldn't let me go out.&nbsp; They just kept giving me books to read.&nbsp; Lots of books.&nbsp; And tutors to teach me languages to read the books.&nbsp; I guess they thought I was smart or something, and that maybe if I kept learning more stuff I would be able to use magic like they could and like my sisters could, but no matter how much I tried, I still couldn't even do the most basic cantrips."</strong><br><br>She pouted, her lower lip pushing out, and fidgeted with the phallus in her small hands for a moment.&nbsp; Tears starting to well up in her big brown eyes.&nbsp; She took a deep breath before speaking some more.<br><br><strong>"But one day, I got a book with a big red bow on it!&nbsp; It was even wrapped!&nbsp; And it even had my name on it!&nbsp; Someone gave me a gift, but it didn't say who it was from."</strong><br><br>She smiled brightly, sweetly.<br><br><strong>"The book was called... the Book of Joy."</strong><br><br>The title of the book came out as a whisper, but everyone present knew she was referring to the book detailing the various passions known as the Unquenchable Fire held sacred by Calistria and her followers.<br><br><strong>"I read that book... from cover to cover... over and over again!"</strong><br><br>She blushed.<br><br><strong>"A few weeks later, a man came to visit me.&nbsp; He was so handsome and so nice.&nbsp; I thought he was a tutor.&nbsp; But he said he had a dream about me!&nbsp; And that he gave me the book!&nbsp; I had so many questions, and he was very patient with me.&nbsp; He answered everything I ever asked, and... showed me... stuff."</strong><br><br>She blushed even more fiercely, spreading from her cheeks to her upper chest.<br><br><strong>"He came to visit regularly after that.&nbsp; Always bringing me souvenirs from his travels.&nbsp; It made me realize that I really wanted to explore the world, to experience everything I have read about first hand.&nbsp; Not just what was in the Book of Joy, but in all my books!&nbsp; But I couldn't leave!&nbsp; My parents wouldn't let me!<br><br>"But one day, he came to visit and asked me for help.&nbsp; There were a bunch of orcs that were giving some problems to a small temple of Calistria.&nbsp; But he couldn't take them on his own.&nbsp; Based on what I read about orcs and what I learned from the maps he had, I came up with a plan and he managed to save the temple!&nbsp; <br><br>"He persuaded me to think about joining him, and it was just what I needed!&nbsp; That night, I ran away with him, joining him on his adventures and coming up with plans and schemes.&nbsp; <br><br>"But it was clear that as much as I helped him, I still had some learning of my own to do.&nbsp; He taught me the basics of how to be an inquisitor for Calistria, and he told me that I would learn more here at the Salon of Pleasure.&nbsp; He said maybe someday I could join him again.&nbsp; I'd like that.&nbsp; But I'm just happy to be here, with a new family that would appreciate me and use my help.&nbsp; Um... I guess that it.&nbsp; Thanks!"</strong><br><br>She basically bounced off the stage as she handed the phallus to one of the other initiates.<br><br>Okay, time for everyone else to follow that example.&nbsp; Please mention your character's name, age, appearance, family background, why you are joining the temple, and what you hope to accomplish.&nbsp; Some boasting is good, too.<br><br>Cute and shy, Analoral talked about being a bookworm and nerd who ran away with an inquisitor that seduced her.

I am one of three twins?&nbsp; Oh!&nbsp; Triplets! Right!&nbsp; Though I'm probably the most beautiful and smartest and best of the three, though they are also from my Order too...uhmmm my family is pretty rich...my dad does like, merchant?&nbsp; I think?&nbsp; Something with helping people sell things? I think.&nbsp; We have horses, which I love, oh yeah I'm really good with horses I should say, well riding them anyway, I'm not so-"</strong><br><br>The phallus then fell from the blonde's hands and onto the floor with a thud, her eyes widened in surprise and after a quick <strong>"Oops!"</strong> she bent down to pick it up, bending at the waste to do so though her skirt, which didn't really cover her bottom completely as she stood was even more taxed to cover anything when the tall Katya bent down in the manner that she did!&nbsp; She bent over slowly to pick it up but once she had&nbsp; she stood up quickly and tossed her hair about with the flick of her&nbsp; &nbsp;elegant neck as she chuckled.&nbsp; It was obvious she didn't really get embarrassed, even though she seemed clueless and had little to say, not nearly as much as Nal had said anyway!<br><br><strong>"What else?&nbsp; Oh....uhmmmm.....why do I want to join the temple?&nbsp; I would say that I'm pretty great at everything I do and so this is one more thing to be great at!"</strong><br><br>She tilted her head with a smile and then bowed, then she handed the phallus off...though she thrusted it right back at Nal who had of course already gone.<br><br><strong>"Oh!&nbsp; Oops!"</strong><br><br>Then she offered to whoever would next take it, strutting across the room to deliver it to them in style of course!<br><br>&nbsp;Katya took a long time to say not much, dropped the phallus, then gave it back to the only other person that had already gone before correcting her mistake.&nbsp; She had no shame or embarrassment about anything she had said or done!<br>

She had gotten used to being nude or very near it in the woods and among her coven sisters, but she had never before stood in front of so many people wearing so little. Her sisters had gone all out for her in anticipation of this day, giving her all new henna art on her body that incorporated and highlighted the brand on her chest, a symbol of Calistria hovering over her heart. They had also replaced her usual clothes with the set of brass plates she now wore that barely covered her. Being so exposed in front of so many unfamiliar faces and having to bare her life story made her nervous, but she smiled and bore it, it’s what she had been training for after all.<br><br><strong>“I am Kirina and my Story is a little complicated, but I’ll try to keep it as short as I can. When I first started to worship the goddess, I was faithless. I didn’t actually care about her, I just wanted to piss off my parents and so I bought a Book of Joy from a bookseller and some friends and I just started wearing yellow and quoting the book to make sure our folks knew we were defying them.”</strong> she looked down at her feet,embarrassed at having to admit her past impiety to a room full of the faithful. She took a moment and a deep breath and then raised her eyes to continue.<br><br><strong>“The goddess didn’t take very kindly to what we were doing. Siha tried to warn us, but we didn’t listen, and soon bad things started happening. I couldn’t do anything right anymore. All of my favorite clothes got ruined in stupid accidents. I even got attacked by some wild dogs that got loose on market street. My parents, who disapprove of Calistria and her temple which is why I bought the Book of Joy in the first place, just told me it was justice for engaging in “unsavory practices” and that I should be a good little girl just like they wanted so they could marry me off to some ogre. Anyway, I hunted down Siha and I begged her to help me, and thank the goddess that she agreed. I started learning what it was really like to worship the goddess and soon the horrible things stopped happening. And then I came home one day and found out I was engaged to be married.”</strong><br><br>A deep frown crossed her face as she related this part. <strong>“My father only really cares about money. He exchanged me for rights to some profitable something or other. All I know is I was to be the trophy wife of some fat middle aged merchant and I couldn't stand it and I refused to go through with it. But I didn’t get to refuse and my parents kept me prisoner in the house for a month so that they could arrange the wedding. I would leave a bride or not at all. Shia tried to reason with them, but they threw her out and said some pretty nasty things about her and the temple and blamed her for my not wanting to marry some fat old man so that father could make a pile of money. So the day before my wedding Shia found me and busted me out of the house, and left a big angry nest of wasps in my place.”</strong> a wicked grin played on Kirina’s face when she said that last part.<br><br><strong>"Shia and I went to the forest and I met the rest of her coven. It’s been a year now and I’ve been given a new name and learned so much about the goddess and about the magic of the forest. I learned the ritual to summon a protector from the goddess and that is where I met Darling, the tiger she sent to watch over me. And not long before we came here my sisters gave me the mark of the goddess on my breast.”</strong> she reached up and caressed the brand on her chest as she said this, smiling proudly. <strong>“And now we are here on our yearly visit to the city and I have gotten to meet all of you. Thank you.”</strong><br><br>Smiling proudly, and having grown much less self conscious over the course of her story, she held out the phallus for the next initiate.<br><br>Self conscious at first, Kirina tells her story and comes out of her shell a little while doing so.

				(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b3/Avatar_Lori_Brighteyes.jpg)<br><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">Lori Brighteyes</span></span> (played by TKtheExiled)<br>Female Elf Wizard 1<br><br>When the wooden fetish made its way into Lori's hands, the elven woman found herself at a loss. On the one hand, she was ecstatic to be here, and she'd already learned a fair amount; but on the other, how was a greenling like herself supposed to talk to all these women who had traveled so far and seen so much?<br><br><em>Remember, it takes all sorts...</em><br><br>The thought was enough to stand her up, but it did nothing for the sudden, overwhelming sense of self-consciousness that had taken hold of her heart. As she looked around, she saw women who were slender and tanned from lives of travel and experience; but she stood before them with skin as pale as moonlight, and the thickness of 125 comfortable years around her bones. Though the humans would more likely see her as a young lady of about twenty...<br><br><strong>"I, ah..." </strong>The elven woman immediately felt the weight of everyone's eyes on her, and her tongue flicked out to dance across her pale pink lips. It was a surprisingly good feeling, to be watched like this; but it was also terrifying. Part of her wanted to just sit back down, and let someone else tell their tale first; but if she did that, she'd likely be asked to leave. So, after brushing a lock of sea-green hair off of her cheek, the elf continued.<strong> "I am called Lori Brighteyes. And I am here... well, because the Goddess called me." </strong><br><br>The statement seemed arrogant to Lori's own ears, and she felt her cheeks starting to flare up; but she reminded herself that confidence was a necessary component for deception, and she'd never be able to progress if she wasn't even confident enough to tell truths. So, rather than backing down, the elven woman reached into her top and pulled out her "proof": an amber medallion with a yellow-jacket wasp at its heart. A trinket to most, but to her the little amulet was her most important "proof" of her claims. <br><br><strong>"I have spent the last sixty years studying under the arcane masters in Kyonin, and worshiping the Savored Sting as my mother and her mother before me. The goddess teaches us to enchant and enthrall... but also to deceive. And while my tongue may not be as glib as some of Her followers, I have found my own...gifts... in the latter domain."</strong><br><br>To illustrate her point, the elven woman closed her eyes and drew upon her bond with the amulet to conjure a silent doppelganger of herself, which stood beside her and provided her a perfect mirror as she continued to tell her 'tale.' If she did it right, the clone should have appeared real to anyone who wasn't directly interacting with it...<br><br><strong>"But I couldn't find any teachers in the Green Forest who could help me truly harness the Goddess' gifts. And I couldn't seem to forge a true bond; no familiar called to me, and I just couldn't resonate with any of the tools my masters kept on hand. But then a merchant came into the forest with this pendant in his wares, and told me he'd gotten it here in Absalom."</strong><br><br>Both the woman and her doppelganger shrugged, as if any other details of her tale didn't matter from that point. <br><br><strong>"So I bought it, and came to a decision. If the arcanists could not help me to pursue my goals, I would approach the Goddess' devout for aid. I come to the temple in hopes of furthering my studies into the magic of Trickery and Deception..."</strong><br><br>As she fell silent, the elven woman scanned the faces of the women around her once more; for some reason, she just had to know. Did she intrigue them with her display? Were they unimpressed? Or did she actually alienate people by calling upon arcane powers in the face of the divine? She wanted to know... but saw nothing. So, with another sheepish smile, the elf moved to hand the totem off to the next woman in line...<br><br><hr><br>Lori found that she feels compelled to "prove herself" to her companions, and she found herself wastefully expending spells just to show that she could. She explained that she has come to the temple in order to improve her skills as an illusionist, since she could not seem to thrive under traditional arcane tutelage.

Between the nerves from being called up to speak in front of a large crowd so soon and the shape of the stick the half elf was getting more uncomfortable by the second. It hadn't been long since she'd been saved from her horrible life, but it reminded her far too much of what had happened before. The appearances of her compatriots and her own differences also didn't help.<br><br><em>I've hidden in the shadows too much. Maybe this is a chance to change.</em> She shook her bangs out of her eyes and stood up. The half elf was slouched over at first, but after a deep breath she stood up straight.<br><br>Saveli's skin was darker than any of the others assembled and seemed to be marred with small scars. Hey eyes were pure gold and still downcast and her long hair brilliant silver. Had her ears been any longer anyone would've mistaken her for a pure blooded drow very easily, some still did even though she was only half. Her body was well toned, though her bust was so large it was almost out of proportion with the rest of her. The oddest thing though was her clothing. It didn't look at all appropriate for the meekness that she'd shown so far. <br><br>The half elf wore a red leather corset that covered the bottom half of her torso. She had a leather skirt that fell to mid thigh that was just as thick and below that were two high boots. Long gloves adorned her arms as well. Each of the pieces was thick enough that the leather could turn away lesser blows with ease. On one hip was a whip and the other a sheathed blade. All told she looked much more like a dominatrix than anything else.<br><br><strong>"Umm, hello. I'm Saveli DeAmir and umm,"</strong> She stumbled over her words some more and closed her eyes. Her cheeks turned light purple as a blush crept in and she tried to figure out what to say next. Absentmindedly she twirled the rod between her fingers as she though. <strong>"I'm here because, well, I was saved by one of the sisters."</strong><br><br>She got quiet for a while again before continuing, <strong>"My parents wer-are cultists of Norgorber and I was too. They had me go out and help kill people for a while. I just hid in the shadows and gave information mostly, but I caused my own share of bloodshed too."</strong> She spoke about the actions almost non-nonchalantly given the low volume of her speech.<br><br><strong>"Everything was great. Until I got older and they started sending me on 'honey pot' missions,"</strong> The silver haired woman quieted down and a few tears came down the sides of her face as she continued, <strong>"I-I had to go and seduce people and have sex with them and kill them in the middle of it. Or other members killed them. The people, they usually weren't nice and it really hurt. But then, I was sent to one of the sisters and she showed me something so much better."</strong><br><br>Salevi wiped her eyes on a small handkerchief before she spoke next, getting herself back under control in the process, <strong>"With her help I got out of there and we killed the assassins after her and she brought me to the church."</strong><br><br>She looked up to meet the eyes of everyone in the room, her body quaking with nervousness, <strong>"I'm really only good at hiding and hurting people, but I'll make sure to keep all of you safe. Or as safe as I can keep you."</strong> <br><br>The dark skinned woman dropped her head back down and shoved the stick at whoever was next before collapsing into her seat. She wished she had a cloak to hide in. <em>Everyone must hate me now that they've heard about what I did.</em><br><br>Salevi is a nervous wreck and very embarrassed about where she came from. She hasn't had a very good life and still isn't used to being seen as anything except for a tool for murder. Even so she really does care about her new family and wants to protect them however she can.<br>

She didn't so much look nervous as she did thoughtful, as if she was uncertain what it was she wanted to say and was taking the time to compose her thoughts before speaking them. Slowly her fingers stroked the wooden phallus, not enticingly, more like a touchstone, it was in her hands and so she stroked it, touched it, learned it's feel with her fingertips while her eyes took on a distant cast and her thoughts traveled the paths of her past.<br><br><strong>"My true life began when I was five or six years old and I was adopted by the same people who had adopted my foster-sister Alicia. Even now I'm not entirely certain of my actual age. All I remember before being adopted is a vague memory of being sung to by a sweet soprano voice and a rumbling bass accompanying it sometimes. What happened to those voices I don't know, the orphanage said they were dead but never how and they seemed as uncertain of my past as I am...they even guessed at how old I was."</strong><br><br>Shaking her blonde head gently she looked around at the other women in the room with her, a small smile touching her lips when her gaze fell on her foster-sister, they'd been through a lot in their short lives together.<br><br><strong>"Once I was adopted though my foster-father took me under his wing. I spent years learning to work as a team with my "family". My foster-mother and sister singing, mesmerizing the crowds while we worked the crowds, cutting purses, picking pockets, relieving fools of their money,"</strong> she said, a small smirk on her lips as she thought of the ease with which they had all worked a crowd.<br><br><strong>"And then it all fell apart. Alicia ran and I wanted to strangle her for it. She left me there...alone. Our foster-father knew better than to turn his gaze toward me, he'd taught me too many of his own tricks to trust me but he did use my anger at Alicia to get me to help him hunt and track her down. He twisted my disappointment, my missing her, to use me to hurt her and once we had her back...he sold us both!"</strong> she growled the last, slapping her hand sharply with the phallus she held as if she wanted to use it to beat the man she was speaking of. <br><br><strong>"Despite the fact that I helped land her in that position though, Alicia saved us both,"</strong> she said, her voice softening and eyes shining with warmth as she glances at her foster-sister. <strong>"Saved us both so that we can seek vengeance on those who thought to use us to their own ends and discard us like so much trash."</strong><br><br>Suddenly her voice cut off and she simply held the phallus out for someone else to take, clearly not willing to say anything more.<br><br>Kalinda speaks emotionally about her past, adding to the tale already told by Alicia.

There was something to be said for a bubbly and up-beat personality; but the wizardess had always been a firm believer of keeping her deeds and mis-deeds to herself. Sure, she'd had her nightly fun over the past week, letting drunken noblemen talk her ear off in the vaguest hope that they might feel her lips against theirs (or other places); but that wasn't the kind of thing she'd choose to talk about. <br><br>And speaking of talking... well, she supposed that now was as good a time as any to get her turn out of the way. <br><br><strong>"Ah..."</strong> The elven woman smiled her best coquette's smile as she stood up, idly toying with her sea-green hair. She'd taken to wearing it loose over the past week or so, since so many of her guests had preferred it that way. <strong>"If I may... I have spent the past seven days improving my ability to direct people's minds down the path I choose, rather than their own. It was... strange... acting as a waitress for the women and men who have come to see us in the temple; but I have learned how to make my guests leave satisfied without ever having to so much as unbuckle their trousers..."</strong><br><br>Indeed, not two nights ago the woman had managed to distract a particularly rough-handed 'guest' with a combination of hypnosis and her silent clone. In his reverie, the man had enjoyed a whole 'show' of himself taking her in ever possible position the elf could think of... while she had simply sat across from him and enjoyed the man's expensive wine. <br><br><strong>"And I hope to take my skills much further in the days to come..."</strong><br><br>Her speech done, the elven woman bowed her head towards her peers, and moved back to take her seat in the ring. To be honest, she was curious about the party Lady Dyrianna had mentioned; but she supposed that she would learn more once she joined the rest in whatever coach or wagon they would take...<br><br>Lori spent her week improving her ability to mislead and misdirect others with her magic. She had a couple of more private trysts, but chose to keep her 'secrets' close to the vest.&nbsp;

She was wearing the same set of brass plates she had on last week, and had been seen wearing little else during her stay with the temple. The coven of druids that she had arrived and spent a great deal of her time with seemed to think that the wearing of clothing was a form of moral weakness and encouraged Kirina and anyone else who spoke with them to expose as much flesh as possible. She spent a most of her days outside of the temple either with her coven or tending to the wasps nest, but her evenings were spent indoors entertaining the temples guests alongside her fellow initiates.<br><br><strong>“I learned something very interesting this week. A young man asked me about my coverings and wondered how they stayed on, and wanting to be a good hostess I took him somewhere private and showed him how they worked. I let him remove my plates and explained to him my coven’s position on body coverings while I relieved him of his. He had several more questions after that, and I answered most of them although I don’t remember either of us talking much.”</strong> she said. She wondered briefly if she should even bother with innuendo after Katya’s story, but she she knew that her tutors would appreciate at least an attempt at being subtle.<br><strong><br>“Anyway, I did get him to tell me a little about himself. It seems he was the son of a district councilor, he wouldn’t say which one, and he was of the opinion that his father was cheating the people of his district and taking more than his share of tax money somehow. Once again I tried to be a good hostess, so I made sure that he forgot about his troubles for an evening, but I also found a sister who knew his name before I let him leave.”</strong><br><br>And that she sat down, smiling proudly to have found out a secret on behalf of the temple. She was looking forward to the party, part of her missed her old life and a large home full of nice things and it would be nice to get a taste of that once again. She had seen the stagecoach outside earlier and hoped that was to take the initiates to the party, and if it was she intended to be on it.

She'd listened with great interest at each of their stories and the blessings that Calistria had bestowed upon each of them.&nbsp; She marveled at the great variety of women that had been drawn together by the goddess and the priesthood and wondered what the future would bring to them.&nbsp; She listened carefully and tried to use her new found skills at discerning true intentions as each of her sisters spoke.&nbsp; Alicia knew that she had had her own secret; that of the true nature of her father, that she would keep to herself for now.&nbsp; The revelation had rocked her to the core and she had spent a number of very pleasant hours in the embrace of Dyrianna coming to grips with what that might mean.&nbsp; That Dyrianna not only had the same marking but was an expert in the ways of not only men and women but women pleasuring each other made the adjustment all the sweeter.<br><br>Standing, she was in much the same outfit as before save that her blouse was cut even lower showing off more of her bosom.&nbsp; &nbsp; As well her movements seemed more polished and graceful and her voice was smoother and more melodic.&nbsp; <strong>"I was graced by the servants of the goddess to spend time with the prostitutes and dancers learning skills of seduction, dance and giving and receiving sexual pleasure.&nbsp; The most unusual encounter was when a centaur came to be served in the temple.&nbsp; One of the most experienced of the priestess was selected to take his manhood but as the junior initiate I was selected to serve him orally."</strong>&nbsp; She sighed and her nipples erected in arousal at the memory.&nbsp; <strong>"I licked and sucked on his huge member, rubbed it between my breasts and then was rewarded when he covered my entire body with his spend."</strong>&nbsp; She licked her lips seductively; <strong>"I've never seen a male give forth that much seed and then the other acolytes licked me to orgasm as they cleaned by body of his seed while the priestess used the magic of the Goddess to accept the centaur in her pussy."</strong><br><br>Alicia is quiet for a moment as she replays the memory.&nbsp; <strong>"My sister Kalinda and I learned more of the ways of the sword.&nbsp; We were taught to use our scimitars from our step parents in dance and combat.&nbsp; I am almost looking forward to a fight where we can move as a graceful pair in combat." </strong> She smiled and pulled forth her mandolin and began to play a gentle song that blended into her words.&nbsp; <strong>"As well, I was graced with the opportunity to attend the White Grotto bardic school.&nbsp; They taught me much that I did not know or allowed me to understand much that I already knew but did not understand why I did what I did.&nbsp; I polished my talent for singing to allow me to better weave illusion and deception in my words and songs.&nbsp; I was particularly able to use my new talents of seduction to bed a senior bard and wriggle out news of a scandal regarding the chief bard and a foreign nation.&nbsp; I have this information directly back to Dyrianna." </strong> <br><br>Alicia is quite happy with the freedom and opportunity at the temple as a servant of Calistria.&nbsp; She seems to have made an easy adjustment to the easy going, sexually active lifestyle as well as significantly improved her bardic skills.<br><br>Smiling at her sisters she sat back down and listened as they were directed as to their next tasks.&nbsp; At the news that they would attend a party at the estate of Satinder Morne Alicia's smile broadened.&nbsp; She loved parties and expected that one at the priestess' estate would be particularly memorable.&nbsp; She intended to drink and party and set a personal goal to have at least six partners before the night was out.&nbsp; Rising with the others she went back to her alcove and chose a scanty outfit in the yellow and black of their goddess.&nbsp; She selected black sandals with gold straps, a gold and black striped dress that came down to her mid thigh and only barely disguised the fact that she had no panties that was capped off by a translucent yellow blouse with trim of black hornets and daggers.&nbsp; The final accompaniment were a set of yellow and black long gloves with the fingers cut out to expose her long black and yellow nails and let her play the mandoliin as well as an ornate yellow mask that just covered her eyes.&nbsp; Over her back was her mandolin and strapped to her hip was the scimitar that matched that of her sister.<br><br>Climbing into the carriage, Alicia played a carefree tune to entertain the others as she took in the scenery.&nbsp; It was so much nicer to view the streets from the perspective of a fine carriage than scrabbling about on foot as a thief and con woman.&nbsp; She continued playing and as the speed of the carriage increased; Alicia had little experience with such noble toys and thought little of it until the others expressed concern.&nbsp; Then, seeing the driver come tumbling into the compartment she put down her mandolin in alarm.&nbsp; <strong>"Calistria preserve us!" </strong> With a nod at Ember who moved to stablize the wounded man she leaped up to the driver's seat and took hold of the reins.&nbsp; <strong>"I'll try and slow us down sisters.&nbsp; Brace for a crash!"</strong><br><br>

The half elf even smiled slightly before speaking.<br><br><strong>"Well I learned a fair bit over the last week, though most of it was from books or sparing. that part probably wouldn't be to interesting, but there are so many fascinating creatures out there. Though study from a distance is the best idea for many of them."</strong> She paused and briefly slunk down again before shaking her head and standing back up.<br><br><strong>"As for, umm, other things. Well I-I still can't easily touch people without, umm, getting really violent. Instead one of the sisters brought me to a dungeon. I was so afraid that I'd be locked in there for who knows how long, but they said I was the one who would be doing the locking. As it turns out we get a bunch of clients who seem to like being hurt and I'm really good with a whip soooo."</strong> She averted her eyes again, cheeks glowing purple. The silver haired woman patted the whip coiled at her side and make a gesture indicating cracking it. <strong>"That part, was really nice actually. It felt really nice for me and them too. It actually became really easy to figure out where to tie the ropes or strike on my third day."</strong><br><br>Her blush grew larger briefly before she coughed and went back to normal, <strong>"Besides that they showed me how to work ropes and also escape from them in case anyone tries something on me in the future."</strong><br><br>Saveli got an introduction into BDSM practices and found them to be quite fun.<br><br>For the party the inquisitor had chosen to wear the corset they'd given her while she served in the temple. It was in the proper colors and she'd grown fond of the thick leather covering her torso over the course of the week. Though she had thrown a skirt that fell to mid-thigh over it. going to a party in full dominatrix gear probably wouldn't be the wisest of ideas even within the church. Well at least she thought it wouldn't be and Saveli wasn't exactly prepared for the requests she thought she would get if she had. At her sides were her belt and whip, the safe to use on flesh one, as always.<br><br>She'd kept to herself for the trip so far, choosing to observe her companions. Each of them was so different from what she was used to and while she really wanted to speak, she wasn't quite sure what to talk about or ask them. That all ended when their driver came crashing back though. The half elf's instincts found her springing to the front of the carriage and glancing around, searching for what might have done this.<br><br><strong>"Thanks."</strong> She said to Alicia as she stood near the other woman. Saveli had no idea how to control a carriage and probably would've caused more harm than good with her attempts at calming the camels. <br><br>Saveli is moving to the front and looking for anything suspicious.

Sure, the deceleration wasn't exactly smooth, and Lori very nearly fell out of the carriage's window; but in the end, the cart and its occupants were in one piece, and that was what mattered most. <br><br>And as two young men arrive to aid the carriage, the elven woman is only too happy to slide back inside and re-take her place amidst the others. All that excitement had made her pulse race and her blood run hot, and she wanted to regain her composure before they arrived at Satinder Morne's home...<br><br><hr><br>At their hostess' request, Lori deposited her scroll rack on a hook by the mansion's front door, hidden beneath her cloak. As was her norm, the elven woman had chosen a simple black-and-white halter top and white trousers for their evening out, with a pair of unassuming white sandals to keep her feet clean from the road. Now that they were inside, the sandals came off to rest beneath her cloak, and the young elf accepted her hostess' invitation to explore in her bare feet. <br><br>Her first stop was at the refreshment table, to pick up a glass of red wine that their host had graciously laid out for everyone; but with her drink in hand, the elf was delighted to walk through Satinder's gallery. Occasionally she would walk alongside one of her peers... but many times, she would explore the pictures on her own. <br><br>Some pictures seemed violent, almost angry... and no matter how much fun the activity in those pictures might look, the pained grimaces of the women drive her away every time. <br><br>But one picture... well, one picture she <em>can't</em> walk away from. It was like nothing she'd ever seen, at home or in the Calistrian temple; an elven woman, surrounded by men and women alike. She was... a mess, to put it mildly. Every possible orifice (and one nipple, which the elf didn't even know was possible) was agape and drooling cum onto the floor beneath the woman's outstretched hands, and the woman's clearly pregnant form was drenched in urine and smeared with all manner of filth. She should have felt repulsed by the scene... but the woman's face kept pulling her back. In spite of the regal jewelry woven into the elf's hair, she had clearly lost all sense of composure or self control. Her eyes were vacant, their gaze euphoric; and her mouth was open like a dog begging for scraps at the table.<br><br>For someone who had spent her whole life studying and learning the importance of control and reserved behavior, the vision of total, reckless abandon was even more taboo than the most deviant of sex acts the picture could possibly depict...<br><br><hr><br>Once Simon recovers, Lori moves back into the carriage to re-enter her nap / trance state. Once they arrived at the house, Lori deposited her scrolls and shoes at the front door and explored until she found a picture that seemed to put her into a new trance. If anyone approaches, she is just staring at the picture, as if hypnotized.<br><br>Lori's kinks: Loss of control, pregnancy, excessive cum, messy sex, and about a thousand others. Her only real "offs" were violence, pain, and torture, which she avoided.

She followed the first couple of initiates in and quickly gazed in wonder at all of the art. She flitted from piece to piece, amazed at the quality of the detail in many of them. When she got close, she would peek over the shoulders of the other girls to see what they were looking at, chatting and commenting on the pictures with them if they felt inclined to talk.<br><br>The one she finally stopped at was a girl being forced to service a group of orcs.

She was being violated front and back, in her mouth and with a large orc member in each hand and several others in the background waiting their turn. Kirina’s skin flushed as she looked at it and eventually had to turn away before her hands busied themselves of their own accord. When she did one of Satinder’s statues caught her eye. It was a shockingly lifelike depiction of a woman on her hands and knees being penetrated by a manticore. At first it looked like a rape, but Kirina wondered that as she took a closer look at the girls face and posture if she was actually had a look of ecstasy instead of pain and was thrusting herself back into the beast. <br><br>Kirina thanked the girls who saved her and Simon and apologized for not being more helpful. In the house, she moves from piece to piece as she tries to avoid getting too hot and bothered by them.<br><br>Kirina’s Kinks: force, gangbangs, monsters, nipple and genital piercings, pregnancy, and excessive cum are the big ones.

She didn't have much time to converse given her vigil though it ultimately turned out to be unneeded.<br><br>Saveli gave the host a short bow, though she did not put what she'd brought down. They'd been attacked once already and the half elf was worried about what else might happen. Besides the blade was a finely crafted family heirloom and matched her outfit. Her whip on the other hand, well that might just be useful for other activities tonight. She wandered around the house afterward, taking in the sights. <br><br>The half elf had never been in a home so opulent before. She found herself staring openly at the initial room and wandered around half dazed as it got more impressive. While she couldn't identify exactly what things were made of she could tell they were very high quality. Though the artwork was a different story. <br><br>As she neared the paintings Saveli paled. The inquisitor suppressed a shiver and tried to remember her training. Rather than focusing on the acts involved she looked at the creatures and tried to identify them by what features were shown. Though in most cases they were either too obscure for her to know of or she couldn't see enough given the focus on the women being violated.<br><br>Still one in particular stood out to her as very interesting. She had seen many images of pregnant women being raped, but this was the first time that something was in the act while it worked. A thin elven girl was being assailed by two demons, the first taking her mouth and the second vaginally. The demons were large enough that their members thicknesses could be discerned from within her and strangely enough the woman seemed to be enjoying the attention. Though the part that made this one unique was the creature behind her. There were large bulges that appeared to be progressing down it's shaft and into the woman, likely eggs Saveli thought.<br><br>Saveli kept on guard, quite nervous about what happened before. The nervousness hadn't faded by the time they'd reached the house.<br><br>Kinks: Non-consent, pregnancy/oviposition, gang bang, and very large insertions. The only offs are scat and mutilation.

There was something about the look on the goblin's face that really caused Katya to shutter and perform a dry swallow.&nbsp; <strong>"Ughhh....I've had enough!&nbsp; Am I the only one like, totally grossed out by this "gallery"?&nbsp; Please, where did she get all of this stuff.&nbsp; When is that stupid artist getting here to paint us....hopefully he can avoid filling the painting with demons and manticores and plants, geez."</strong> She chuckled and then resumed her mindless pacing about the gallery.<br><br>kinks: inflation, death, humiliation, degradation, having others laugh/ be unconcerned about her predicaments...<br>
