The Lady’s Hand (A Dickings & Dalliances Adventure) - (Closed Except By Invitation)

[Poprockz]

Arx awkwardly patted the Harpy's back, trying not to cringe from how utterly soaked the woman was. It was all going to turn into mist anyway, so it wasn't too bad, but the wet feeling of that oozing liquid was not a pleasant one at the amount it was. Still, she did want to reciprocate the harpy's feelings of gratitude, not being one to turn her nose up at someone's gesture of thanks.

"Ah... So that's what happened. The ghost we met was an eromancer, and after we fucked he realized he was dead. We fucked again and he was able to release everybody." She shrugged nonchalantly, "I barely did anything. In any case, he also mentioned a treasure room, and that we had to be completely naked when we enter, but I didn't catch why."

She whined her hand on her shirt, smearing the ghostly jizz upon herself. At least her hand was somewhat clean again. With this, her body shifted back into the raven-haired beauty once more. It was the body her outfit was truly made for, so she reverted back to it by default for the moment.

 

[justspitballing]

After Arx break down of the situation Sprite nodded. Sprite then took her time and found her armor. She would not put it on yet. After all she would just have to get undressed again and she still wouldn’t fit in it. Still, she kept it by her side. This place was likely still dangerous despite how it seemed now.

After that she returned to Arx and together they were able to go down the hallway and to the new doorway that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. By the time they got there Sprite was fully back to her regular shape and the cum had vanished off of her body. She put her armor and her other items down in a small pile beside the edge of the door.

“Given the age there is a good chance the traps here wont work properly. Just because it was supposed to be set off by clothing does not mean it wont be set off anyways. We will have to take our time and stay careful. We’ve gone to far to be stopped now,” Sprite warned. Her sexual humiliation could not in the end be for nothing.

With that said Sprite saw to trying to open the door before them.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

It was at that moment that the vedger finally made his way back to the pair, suspending his furry body in the air above the cum-covered floor by his vines. He seemed otherwise unbothered by the ghostly spunk, and simply cocked his head at the two adventurers.
Sprite would find the door locked, but decayed to the point that it would just fall off its hinges at the slightest tug. Behind would be a small landing of stone blocks overlooking a small underground stream of cool, running water. Two passages curved off in the distance, one upstream to the left and one downstream to the right.

 

[Poprockz]

Arx shrugged at Sprite, glancing at the vedger as it came into view. Where was that thing during everything that was going on? Sometimes she wondered whether there wasn't something weird about it. In any case, she spoke up as the door opened. "Yeah, it's true that they could be expired, but I certainly don't want to take changes. Magic shit tends to last a long time, especially in temples I would imagine."

She squinted at the stream and crossed her arms, tapping her finger on her arm. "Upstream or downstream? I personally think we should go downstream, as it will likely lead further into the temple."

 

[justspitballing]

Sprite took a step back and picked up her axe, realizing that they still had a bit to walk before they got to the treasure room. Still, she left her armor behind. She nodded at Arx as she returned.

“Personally, I agree,” Sprite was quick to agree with Arx on her assessment. Sprite then moved forward, in front of Arx. She fallowed the stream down and to the right, but kept a bit of distance from it and clung to the wall; always being cautious.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

The tunnel was round, and the stone bore clear marks that it had been carved, though by what might remain a mystery. It was smooth enough that it required some care and skill to avoid being swept by the ankles as water continued to flow downstream. Sprite was able to stay on her feet, even when Arx, who was not so lucky, or perhaps distracted, slipped, and slid into the back of the harpy's legs. Without her wings she may have been knocked headlong.

Sprite recovered just in time to see the vedger, suspended in the air by its many vines, give an animal shrug as Arx slid down the tunnel at an increasing speed...

Arx for her part, would eventually be able to recover her wits and vision, but that didn't mean she was back on her feet. The tunnel began to curve slightly to the right, and Arx found herself pulled along with it, willing or not.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

Not long after Arx vanished around the corner from Sprite, the changeling would hear a whooshing sound overhead. She might even have felt the air move hear her face before continuing to slide down the smooth tunnel.

 

[justspitballing]

Sprite had been outdone one to many times this day. She was not going to stand by and have the being she guarded be swept away on top of everything else. Her anger boiled over and she went into a rage, her wings opening out wide and her body shooting forward. The wind may have been light, the tunnel small, but Sprite managed all the same.

In less then an instant she had fallowed Arx around the corner. Still the woman was a good bit out of her grasp. Swelling with determination though Sprite used the one thing she had been smart enough to bring along, her axe. She tossed it with everything she had and it landed with a hard smack into the ground, its’ handle sticking out over the stream, just before Arx. Hopefully she could be agile enough to grab the thing.

Sprite pressed on forward but then something made itself known. It reached out for her out of seemingly nowhere. Sprite tried to brace herself but it smacked against her and pain touched her body.

 

[Poprockz]

Arx had been thinking about what might have been in that treasure room, musing about the huge golden goblets, or maybe the jewels shaped like dicks. Though the merchant would likely look at her weird, jewels were jewels after all. If they didn’t want to split the jewels, the could always smooth them and sell them to noblemen and noblewomen.

Distracted, she found herself slipping and falling, now sliding with increasing speed. A rush of air was felt before she saw an ax lodge itself in her path. Yes! Arx reached out to grab it, but her fingers slipped on some of the ghostly jizz lingering on its handle, the changeling unable to stop herself from continuing down the tunnel.

“Fuck!” She hissed, looking around for something to grab or someway to stop herself.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

As Arx slides down the tunnel of smooth stone, the vedger catches up to Sprite, its vines suspending the creature's furry body in the air away from the water. It sees the mushroom like structure whip one of its tendrils into Sprite's chest, and readies itself for combat...

 

[justspitballing]

Sprite could stand around and fight with this wall fungus until her fists bled, but it seemed like arx and her 'pet' was ready to take care of it. Sprite would let them fight, she had someone to save.

She dashed ahead, grabbing her axe on the way. After that she flew and picked up speed. If the creature had tried to strike her when she left, she didn't know. She had a task to do.

As she sped out to Arx the waters stayed greatly against them both. Arx seemed to be forever out of her reach, dragged along against her will.

 

[Poprockz]

Drastic times called for drastic measures. She doubted her clothes would survive this, but unfortunately she had no other choice but to stop herself by any means necessary. Her body shifted and morphed until she was a very large being. A Goliath, to be exact. Her mass was exactly the same as it always was, but at the very least she could now stretch her arms up and legs out to stop herself from continuing forward at such a fast pace. It was indeed slowing her down, but she wasn't strong enough to catch hold of any of the cracks or crevasses of the tunnel.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

The vedger growls, a low, rumbling growl, and its vines whip out toward the purple fungus clinging to the wall. It's vines score a gash along the body of the strange lifeform, but the fungus's tendrils land a hit of their own, making one of the vedger's vines wither, and the creature grunt in pain. Still, it intends to fight for its new friends.

Meanwhile, Arx slides within range of two more of the aggressive mushroom-like growths. One of them whips a tendril too early, Arx's slower speed leaving her just out of range. The second is more patient, though, and its tendril slams into Arx's arm, causing a patch of her goliath skin to suddenly rot away.

 

[justspitballing]

Things were getting a lot more serious for Arx and if they went farther down the stream chances were they would be eaten alive by the fungus the inhabited this tunnel. All three of them, Vedger, Arx and Sprite, had to get out of here. This whole tunnel area was infested.

Sprite flew forward with another boost of speed, her rage once again getting the better of her. Logic went to the wind, she had to get Arx out of there. She flew right past them and then came crashing down right before them in the stream, Arx body knocking against hers. The body smacked into her hard and the water pulled at every bit of her being, but her feet sunk into the dirt under the stream and she somehow withstood it all. Acting like a wall she prevented Arx from drifting any farther. Now they just needed to get away.

Of course the mushroom like monsters around her swung out their tentacles in response to all of this. For once, and likely only for once, luck was on Sprite’s side and all of their lashes out at her missed. She grunted out as Arx pressed against her. This wasn’t over yet.

 

[Poprockz]

She braced for impact against Sprite with the assumption that she was about to knock the harpy over like a bowling pin. Though she didn't have a whole lot of weight, it was still enough to bowl her into the stream with all the force she had accumulated from sliding down. Surprisingly though, the bird stood firm, putting an end to the changeling's slip-n-slide from hell. The opportunity was used to shift and scramble to her feet, back in the red-headed form she liked. While she still retained her bag and weapon's belt, most of her clothes were lost in her earlier transformation.

"If we go out the way we came, it's going to be an uphill battle! Should we try to find out what's at the end of the stream?" Arx whipped out her daggers, one in each hand as she twirled her body around in one smooth motion until she was behind her more sturdy companion.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

As Sprite holds firm, and the water splashes against both their feet, the two fungi whip their vines at the closest prey, Sprite. Both attacks swing wide, but a grunt of pain echoes from further back in the tunnel

 

[justspitballing]

Arx may have been confident in her fighting skills but Sprite knew she couldn't battle with the current forever. They needed to get out of it or else they were both just going to be pulled away. They also needed to be smart with fighting these things or they would be over whelmed. Sprite was a close range fighter, but that was by choice. These creatures had no such choice. They were stuck to their walls and swung out, which meant they were helpless if one was out of reach. Getting a bit of distance would at least give Arx and her a chance to think.

Sprite grabbed Arx and huffed her over her shoulder. She knew this was not what her friend had wished, but it was what was best. She then went into a new rage and burst forward, flying out of the water and moving a good thirty feet back the way they came, trying to put herself and Arx right between the vine creature they had passed and the ones down the river to come. A safe zone. The vines did try to grab her as she moved away from them, but she moved to quickly for them to even have a chance. She simply heard their attacks splash the water behind her, but paid it no mind. She then put Arx down softly on the ground and had to grab herself. She felt next to exhausted. All this charging around, compounded by the massive gang bang her body had just been put through, it all put a massive toll on her body. She felt for the rest of this fight she would not be at her best, but maybe Arx had a trick up her sleeve.

"If you wish to check down the stream, by all means, just know what we are facing," Sprite answered Arx question while breathing heavily.

 

[Poprockz]

When Sprite reached her arms toward her, she thought for a moment that the fighter was going to scoop her up and valiantly fly away with her in her arms. Her expectations were subverted however, when she found herself grabbed like a sack of potatoes, the two round potatoes on her chest smooshing into the harpy's back while she tried her best not to cut the bird's ass-cheeks with her daggers. She knew Sprite liked a good variety of things in her ass, but sharp knives probably weren't among them.

Being positioned this way gave her a good view of the tunnel however, and she could see the injured Vedger as they passed it, her eyebrows creasing slightly. The sound of its cry had been heard but seeing the damage also gave her a feeling of guilt in her stomach, especially due to the fact that they had been the ones to bring it down here. It was a simple animal, and thus she wasn't sure if it understood the situation beyond the fact that it was in pain and being attacked.

Sprite seemed spent, and Arx knew she didn't want to continue the path considering the circumstances so she shook her head. "No, I'm not risking our necks to go down a dark vine-infested out of sheer curiosity. Let's go back to the main room and rest a bit. I think we could all use it." The changeling sheathed one of her daggers and manifested a spectral blade in her hand, throwing it at the vine closest to the vedger in the hopes that it would give the animal a change to get back to them relatively unscathed.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

Arx’s blade cut deeply into the flesh of the fungus, and as it began to shrivel in death it spun and flailed, it’s meaty body gyrating lewdly and its tentacles whipping against the stone to send wet slapping sounds echoing up and down the tunnel.

Finally, the strange creature was gone, and the injured vedger used its vines to follow the harpy and the changeling back up the cylindrical passage.

 

[justspitballing]

Sprite walked ahead, but with her head hung low. She was worn out and not sure of the next action to take. Clearly the trap triggered by not being naked wasn't in this hallway and she had been a bit to pre-emptive in her actions. She reached the doorway that they came through at the start of the hallway and picked back up her armor still resting on the floor. She sat down and took her time to get dressed again. It was actually quite a bit of a comfort. Yes, she loved to be naked before others, but she also loved not getting killed. Once she was fully dressed she was actually a bit tempted just to fall asleep right their in her armor, but she knew that wouldn't be fitting either.

They really only had two options, go down the hallway the original way they had been headed before the water pulled them away or back track and rest. Back tracking posed a danger if the competition trying to find this place showed up while they rested, but of course pushing on had its own dangers. They really didn't know what was down that other direction of the hallway.

"So, do we go down the other direction, or head back?" Sprite said simply to Arx.

If the decision was on Arx then it wouldn't be all Sprite's fault if it went horribly wrong.

 

[Poprockz]

Watching the tentacle die was... something else. Her face cringed in a mixture of morbid fascination and repulsion as it swung around wetly. It kinda reminded her of a guy she used to know, but that was a story for another time.

"Hmm..." Arx thought for a moment, wondering what the best decision would be. Pressing on was out of the question, what with how exhausted the Harpy was. While the changeling still had some energy yet, that wouldn't do them any good if their main fighter was down for the count. In addition, the vedger seemed hurt and would likely need a bit of a rest to recover. She felt responsible for the thing, seeing as it probably couldn't get out of the temple now without their help.

"What if we rested at the juncture between this tunnel and the other one? I don't know about you, but I'm used to sleeping on concrete or stone, growing up in a city and all." She reached up and wrung some of the tunnel water out of her hair, a bit of black ooze coming out as well, earning a disgusted look from her before swishing her hair back behind herself.

 

[justspitballing]

"Yes, I think you're right. I can handle the rugged nature, but everyone has their limits," Sprite states.

She heads to the point suggested and sees about taking her standard steps of setting up a trip line just to be safe. She's thankful for the rest, even if sleeping here for such a long time maybe dangerous, going on felt like the bigger threat. With the trip line set Sprite hunkers down and goes to sleep, saying "sleep well," to Arx before dosing off fully.

While Sprite sleeps she dreams of being raped over and over again by armies of ghosts. What happened to her will forever live with her and 'haunt' her for a long time to come.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

The exit from the tunnel is a bit anticlimactic, compared to their time inside it, but all three of them are likely glad to avoid further conflict. As they lie down for a rest, the vedger nuzzles first Sprite's shoulder, and if the harpy seems put out by the idea of cuddling for the night it will move on to Arx.

 

[justspitballing]

Sprite is sleeping so heavily and so entwined in her own fantasies, or nightmares? that she would not notice Vedger for a moment. She may reflexively pet him as her face flinches at the next dizzying thought her mind comes up with, her hand soft against his body. Likely he would find her inviting, though odd of course.

 

[Nouh_Bdee]

The three of them fall asleep quickly and sleep peacefully, the vedger curled up against Sprite’s body. When they awake, it’s to the same stone floors and dark hallways they’d seen before, undisturbed during their slumber and recovery.
