Always Ascending

[Roselli]

Gwyn was pleased to get her new necklace. She was curious what it looked like on. She started to head back over to the main food hall and try to find Gavin. She was also going to need to get a small keg if she was going to keep producing beer like this. She looked into the hall where they had the skirmish and called out, "Gavin? You here?"

She looked in one of the non-broken windows for her reflection to see how everything came together. She wasn't sure how she felt about being dressed like one of the plethora of anonymous bar maids the spent time with traveling before ending up with this group. At least the elf ears kept her unique.

Duran blinks when she sees the chocolate that was once her pills as well. Seems everyone's denied further transformations. Dropping it to the ground the dragonborn sighs. "Well I'm gonna look for a temple to see if the ycan spare some holy water." The paladin tells Oric before leaving, looking around for just such a thing or if she has no hcoice but to be redirected to the Lady's altar if she wishes for it.

I take a seat on the ground, clutching my holy symbol and placing the tiny goblin on my lap as I begin to pray, reaching out with my spirit to whatever power controls this place. I let myself relax, entering a meditative state (or maybe just falling asleep).

[Ordos]

Naethra walked out into the village proper, realizing this was the first time she'd been idle in this place without fear of ambush or magical entrapment.  Of course, that would make this the perfect time for an ambush...

She shrugged the notion off and just stood in the sun.  It felt right... which was worrying in its own way.  She watched as Gwyn placed her item, gold, and offering at the altar with a look mounting distress, bordering on revulsion.

"Do you really want to barter with the Lady?  The Lady that brought us here, who's responsible for all this?" she gestured at the village and the world at large.  "And particularly those?" this time she gestured squarely at Gwyn's breasts. 

Naethra was unsure about many things, but she found herself thinking of the Lady as a danger, an adversary.  It seemed like this entire ordeal was just for her to drain people away.

"I'd be careful what you offer her," Naethra said, leaning against a building's wall in a sunny spot.  Somehow, she doubted anything the Lady have would be that useful for surviving her attentions.

[Roselli]

"thanks, hun." Gwyn puts her hand on Neathra again, "I feel it's the right call. I need to survive long enough to combat someone like her. She's like a goddess in this place. I'm going going to be helping anyone out if I'm a mindless sex slave. If we get rid of the goblins, then we could maybe get help from from the village and others to go up against her, or escape."

"Also, the more we work and fight, the stronger we are gonna be. Think 'bout how bloody amazing we'd be after saving everyone. I can deal with looking like a barmaid in the meantime. The beer constantly coming from my breasts might get old after a while."

"But at the end of the day we're heroes. This is our story to write." Gwyn's hand slides to a position behind Neathra's head, cradling her a bit as she leans in to kiss her."

[Ordos]

Naethra couldn't help but smile as Gwyn held her and delivered a kiss.  She couldn't help but feel the weight, warmth, and softness of her greatly enlarged bosom.

The smile grew grim as she pondered Gwyn's words though.  Naethra had very pointedly not spoken her deepest thoughts aloud, but defeating the Lady... while admirable, it was likely a foolish objective.  Doubly so to say such a thing aloud, not a stone's throw from her shrine. 

"Just surviving her attentions, mind and soul intact, will be a tall order," Naethra said, awkwardly resting a hand on the taller girl's shoulder.

[Roselli]

Gwyn enjoyed the kiss on the smaller plant based girl. She continued to hold her close while trying reassure. "Who knows. She could be benevolent after all. But for now, we're her champions. Sure she won't mess with us too much....than she already has."

[Alice]

She nods to red, "Simple stuff like that I've got to hand." (she can sell you the leather working tool kit at PHB cost)

Gavin smiles to see Naethra and Gwyn. "You need a pony keg to store your... bounty huh? I think we can arrange that." (Gwyn and Naethra acquire pony keg!)

Duran is able after some time to get blessed water through the medium of water and silver at the small alter of Airicame.

Lou searching around finds the room where the goblins had their base of operations. Two girls stand holding serving trays with fruit on them. One woman lies down her eyes glazed over and completely unfocused. It's Alma, and apparently she'd been used for at least a day as this goblins seat cushion.

[Roselli]

"Thanks Gavin" Gwyn says with a smile as she tries to figure out a way to carry the keg and have an arm around Neathra at the same time. Strength was never exactly her strong point.

"Hang on a sec, Neathra". Gwyn asks before launching into her not so short chant to make the unseen servant return. After and mindnumbing ten minutes, she appears and Gwyn hands off the keg to her to carry.

"Should we go back and see what Oric turned herself into?"

[Nihtgenga]

"Thanks, cutie." Retiaria flashed the smith a smile as she handed over the money for the tools, her hand lingering briefly on the smith's as the money was passed over. She then shook her head slightly and stowed the tools away safely in her bag.
Her shopping done, she took a slow, wandering route back to where she'd left the rest of the group. They'd need to plan what they were going to do next, and, well... she'd taken a few hits in the fight that needed seeing to. One way or another...

[Ryuforce]

After some good prayer, the dragonborn grins and collects her holy water. Though as she takes a step back, she can't help but look at the golden alter of the 'lady'. "How blasphemous, to put yourself higher then the gods..." The dragonborn thought to herself out loud.

[Dichotomy]

Well crap. I go to Alma... she's the one I need to talk to so I can get back to normal, she knows about the nectar I don't have proper facilities to analyze... I try to rouse her, see if I can get a response, snapping my fingers in front of her face, gently shaking her, that sort of thing.

[Ordos]

"Oh, I was there," Naethra replied to Gwyn's question.  "She was trying to turn herself back into a male.  It didn't work.  In fact... it was something of a miracle.  Or an evil miracle.  Divine intervention, or something like it. All of those infernal pills were changed.  At least all of the ones Oric and Duran were carrying."

She had just been leaning in the sun.  She thought about having her gear adjusted, but decided against it.

[Alice]

@Dichotomy:

Alma seems very out of it for quite a while before slowly blinking, her eyes still glazed over, but no longer completely unresponsive..

Rather now she's reached up and grabbed Lou's ass and is looking at her with a hungry lust in her eyes.

[Dichotomy]

I blush- I mean, I shouldn't I suppose, not at this point, not after what I and this woman have already done but... well we're in public, and this certainly isn't likely to give me the information I want.

I delicately pry her hands from my posterior and try to make eye contact "Alma? Alma I need to ask you some things, do you understand? Do you need anything?"
