Discord Assignment the 2nd: Week 5
Added 2019-07-15 19:30:49 +0000 UTCNice, it was a five way tie! Quicker Than You Like, Eastern Knots, And Yet She Lingers, The Abyss' Call, and Stockings and Bows specifically.
This time it's the tie-breaker where you have just the one vote this time.
Quicker than you Like
Having had some experiences with the barons races, you catch upon an idea, the participants are all trussed up and half broken, if you're careful, you can snag a couple and be gone before anyone knows. It does mean that you need someone to participate and be near the lead so your tracking item they swallowed let's you know the route, but hey, what's life without risks? You just gotta be able to snag your slaver(Or trust your slavers to snag you...) and whichever passing participants seem pretty. And, of course, not get caught.
Requires C:En or M:Ar, or gold to hire a freelancer, due to the magic bondage.
(My note: Oh boy, fucking with the Baron. That's going to go super well for all concerned :D )
Eastern Knots
Did you hear about the new craze that's going around in Aversol this Debutante season? This latest rite of passage hails from the lands of Cathay and involves a lot of rope. But it needs more than that. It also needs someone to use the rope. And there is now sport in getting more and more talented people to do this. So far these rope workers have all been on the level, as it's a very lucrative gig, but what if someone was to delay the worker and take their place? That person would be in a prime position to earn some crazy money. Of course.... that's not the only option.....
And yet She lingers
Certain occupational hazards exist when exploring old ruins and mysterious temples. Sure, you've heard about all the usual deadly traps, but there's whispers of an ancient, secret treasure trove with a more unique twist. Suffice to say that many of those who explore the tomb of this long-forgotten whorelock (or whomever else built this place, but let's face it, it was probably a whorelock) remain magically bound to the location, teased and punished for years or centuries for their impertinence.
Obviously, you'll be careful when you bring a raiding party to dig up some valuables. But now that you think about it, some of those former adventurers -- at the mercy of such a location for so long -- may prove to be a greater prize, if you manage to steal one…
(My note: I'd change this to a former lair rather than tomb but I think that still works for the idea that something has kept her lingering after it should have been long abandoned for much longer than expected.)
The Abyss’ Call
There are many reasons why a capable summoner would bring a succubus from the abyss to this realm of existence. Perhaps they'd need an expert slavebreaker or a skilled whorelock to help them with a specific task, or perhaps they'd merely wish for the pleasures of the flesh succubi tend to be so naturally gifted at. Sometimes such a summoning is permanent, but in many other cases the demon's ties to the abyss will pull them back inexorably, sooner or later. Recently, word has reached your camp of one such succubus who had been summoned for a task, but for reasons you don't quite grasp has managed to elude her home-realm's grasp for much longer than most, and she isn't planning to go back anytime soon. Why she was summoned, what happened to the summoner and for which reasons she wants to enjoy reality are all things you don't know, but perhaps there is an opportunity to bind, free or even banish her here?
(My note: I'm thinking this could add magic: summoner as one of the rewards as it would tie in nicely to an aspect I have planned for next update.)
Stockings and Bows
A new trend of bows on the front of stockings is sweeping the City of Aversol. Are these ties-that-bind just a harmless frivolity or could they have more sinister connotations.
