Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apollo:
"Why thank you!" they say in unison.
"And you're pretty cute," the one rubbing your chest says. "But why the mask? You embarrassed or something?"

Layla:
She lets you pull her on top of you, your breasts pushing into each other. She starts purring, the vibrations reaching you easily.
"So tired, you can't even sit up to kiss me, huh?" she says.

Sand-Claw:
{Chance roll d20: 7}
It tastes delicious! Probably would taste better when cooked, but it's good as-is! Little stringy, though, so you might want to pick your fangs clean soon.

"It's... It is just part of my outfit... but... I actually am kinda... befuddled as to how to react in this situation..." I say shyly...

Sand-Claw:
My, that guy's heart was stringier than you thought! Yeesh.

Apollo:
"Really?" the female says. "You've never been with a female before?"

Layla:
{CON 12: 5}
{CON bonus: -1}
{Final CON roll: 11}
Your composure is retained for now. Xiao lays down completely and kisses you. The vibrations from her purring feels wonderful on your lips...
{CON 12: 12}
{CON bonus: -1}
{Attraction CON disadvantage: +2}
{Final CON roll: 13}
{Xiao PER d20: 2}
And it looks like you're not much better off than Apollo, right now: you failed your arousal check. And Xiao can tell before the kiss is even over!

Everyone:
We can time skip whenever.

"Oh look. A greenhorn getting pissy with an expert. You followed orders without reservation. And look what happened. Two of you ended up dead." I recall one of my first greenhorn missions. My confidance was through the roof and that interfered with my judgement. It ended with my crew bringing knives and a couple of handguns to a gun show full of automatics and machine guns. All hell broke loose and it was all done in a matter of minutes. I wound up being the only survivor, and that was only because I played dead and managed to escape unnoticed before the gang's cleaning crew showed up to give us concrete shoes and dispose of us in the Hudson River.

(Skip ahead.)

"...it pains me somewhat to say it for various reasons... but yes..." I reply to the wolves sadly.

//time skip is fine by me.

Nyx:
The assassin does not respond.

Layla:
{CON 12: 17}
{CON bonus: -1}
{Attraction disadvantage: +2}
{Final CON roll: 18}
You won the battle, but lost your self-control. You don't do anything you won't be proud of later, but you and Xiao get a little touchy-feely.

Apollo:
"Oh, you poor thing!" the female whimpers. "Maybe I could fix that?
{CON 15: 10}
{CON bonus: -2}
{Final CON roll: 8}
You're able to control yourself. You're still aroused, but you're at no risk of jumping in bed with this female until a more opportune time.

Willow:
{WIS 15: 15}
{WIS bonus: -2}
{Final WIS roll: 13}
You learn one spell, but it's difficult. It allows you to see through the shadows, thus allowing you to spy on people if they're in the shadows.



Everyone:
After Layla and Xiao get their fix of touchy-feely stuff, and everyone's set, you all hogtie the assassins and leave them for someone else to find. You then proceed to where the First Challenge is supposed to be. But instead of an arena, you find that it is an island floating overhead! There are magical teleporters to allow access to the Challenge, but they require payment of some kind. There is someone near the teleporters, most likely an NPC who maintains them and explains the cost of use.

"Well, I was about to suggest such a thing, if you'd be willing to transport us." I say to Sand Cla.

"I'd rather just take the teleporter." I state blankly.
