An unlikely group of adventurers

[Karyn MacMoragh]

Nemele glanced up from her mental measurements of Selena's tunic, looking over the witch a little more. 'Something to consider,' she said. 'I'm informed that mine is one of the, ah-hah, fun orders. There is quite a bit of this...' She waved a hand at Selena's restraints. 'But it's all in the temple, and it's quite pleasant in there. Lots of time to yourself in between Sacred Demonstrations. Certainly less tromping about in the woods, tied up and naked.' Her eyes narrowed a little. 'Certainly less summoning demons and burning down peoples' homes.'

((Little playing with time here, I may have to re-think her simply going back to her tent once this is all over.))

Lazaka's scales turned a much deeper shade or red as she watched the mendicant and her prisoner. They were too far away to really hear what the two were saying. That was still close enough to get an eyeful however.

'And I thought Nemele was forward at the bar.....' Lazaka thought to herself as her eyes widened.

"You okay?" Tremain said without looking up from the shackles he was inspecting. "You're shaking a little."

"Fine." Lazaka replied distantly. "I'm fine."

Selena stared at the ground (And her rather embarrasingly out-thrust breasts), Nemele's last comment sobering her a bit. It was only hours before she had been on the hunt to capture Nemele, but now she as the prisoner. She tried not to let the failure bother her. She most certainly didn't want to think about what the coven's reaction would be when they found out.

Which brought her to another sobering point. Nemele could easily have left her to the villagers, likely to be burned at the stake. She didn't, however, and in doing so probably saved Selena's life.

Selena continued staring, the thought sinking in.

Nemele seemed lost in her own thoughts, though she occasionally stole a meaningful-looking glance over at Selena. She had folded up the tunic and set it aside a while ago, and was primarily looking up at the stars.

Her thoughts were not as deep as the witch's.

I have a bondage witch, some of them went. What am I going to do with a bondage witch? others asked. For the most part, though, the majority of her mind was on one topic - What a lovely evening!

[Drogoth]

((and back to regular time I suppose. Lazaka's in the tent trying to sleep and....))

Tremain sighed a little as he spread a bedroll out on the ground. He didn't enjoy sleeping outdoors. He could hardly remember the last time he did it.

'At least it was a clear night.' He thought to himself. 'Man, I'd planned on sleeping in a good inn tonight. Oh..... yeah, I'd better not be feeling sorry for myself over that. It's not like I lived or worked there. Heck, we didn't even stay for the cleanup. Can't be helped I suppose. We've got two gals who's lives probably depended on us leaving. At least we're taking good care of th- What the hell?!'

Tremain's eyes went wide as he glanced over and saw the nude Selena. He quickly looked the other way, hoping they hadn't noticed.

'what is that about? What's that priestess doing with her..... oh.' he pondered, suddenly remembering the concept of a bondage witch (a popular topic among young wizards) 'Well, this is going to be an interesting trip.'

He tried to get some sleep, and made an effort to not look in that direction too often. An effort at least, he was still male.

((Hey, just thought I'd let everyone know, I'll be going on vacation next week, so I likely won't be posting. I'll have internet, but I don't know if I'll get a chance to post here. Have a good Thanksgiving!))

[Drogoth]

((sorry, life's been hitting pretty hard lately. Anyway, looks like it'd be best to move the clock forward))



The evening was indeed pleasant. The weather remained calm and the temperature did not dip too far. They sky wan only marred by faint wisps of smoke that marked where they had come from, but even those were gone by morning. The sounds of the forest echoed around the party as they slept but no creatures aside from a few curious ones would come forward to disturb their rest. All in all it was an ideal setting; though for one as completely unprotected as Selena it might be unpleasant.

Tremain slept somewhat uneasily that night. A nagging doubt picked at him but didn't manifest. He was right to worry of course, as that night some of the starts watched him more intently than others.

Lazaka slept fitfully in the tent. She hadn't ever tried sleeping in the chains, and it was giving her some very interesting dreams. She was tired enough that she wasn't awakened by a few odd changes that happened around her as she slept.



The summoner would awaken in the late morning still feeling some of the effects of their hike. With a few cantrips he got a decent fire going and set up a few enchanted lures to catch some breakfast.

Lazaka awoke with a groan and tried to brush the hair out of her face. She squirmed in her disoriented groggyness before she remembered that she was still bound. Yet, something was wrong. She tried to use her hands to push off the ground and sit up, but couldn't bring them in front of her. They were bound behind her now? When did that happen? The dragoness whipped her tail in frustration, knocking one of the tent poles loose and causing the structure to partially collapse. This only confused her more, her tail hadn't been loose before. What was going on?

[Llyenera Llewellyn]

((No kidding, as soon as I get back from vacation, I get knocked out by a cold!))

Selena had most certainly not had an easy time getting to sleep the previous night. Shifting onto one side, and then the other, and then her stomach... it was no use. The chains were just too tight! It didn't help that they were making her feel just a little aroused, which made things even worse.

She eventually gave up thoughts of sleep entirely. Instead, she sat up (Facing away from Tremain. She HAD noticed him staring), and started taking deep breaths, eventually able to settle herself into a deep, meditative trance. Tremain's activities did little to interrupt her.

[Karyn MacMoragh]

((Uuulgh. Zdupid cold. I can'd breathe!))

Nemele, laying back against her rock, had herself a deeply restful and quite pleasant night's sleep. Or so it seemed, at least, as she woke late in the morning looking really quite cheerful.

'Good morning, Selena!' she called over to her witch. 'Heaven's smiling on us today, it seems, with such a lovely morning. I...' She paused, wincing a little at the commotion by the tent. 'Err... Everything quite alright?' she called over.

[Drogoth]

((oye, is everyone sick lately?))

"Obviously a morning person." Tremain mumbled as he set the last trap. A simple charm made to "summon" a forest animal into it.

Tremain stood, a hand on his sore back. Sleeping on the ground did not suit him as well as the mendicant. He hated waking up feeling dirty and disheveled without a bath in sight. With any luck it wouldn't take them long to reach civilization again.

Lazaka made no small disturbance as she thrashed about in the tent. Something was wrong. She may still be groggy, but she'd remembered going to bed tied up. It wasn't like this though. Her arms were behind her now, restrained at the elbows and wrists like the witch's. A short chain between her wrist and ankle fetters completing the hogtie. To make mattes worse her robe had shifted down during the night, or perhaps been dragged along by the chains. Either way, it no longer protected her body, and the sleeves were now stuck between the elbow and wrist shackles which made it impossible to pull back up.

She heard Nemele call out and froze. She may be in trouble, but she didn't want to be found like this!

"Nnnrrrmmm!" she mrmped despite her best efforts. Her eyes went wide, and then crossed to look at the muzzle that had somehow gotten onto her face. She could feel the cold metal on her, and it seemed to be an extension of her collar. Forming a harness like the kind some biting animal would wear. Sure enough It kept her mouth tightly shut. All she could do was squirm as she heard someone coming closer.
