Thanara blushes and says ”O-okay. What do you have in mind?”
"Dinner." Snow replies with a smile at Thanara's blush. "Maybe walk after, if not raining. You deserve romance. Am not very good, but try! For you." She leans in to kiss Thanara's cheek, an oddly chaste gesture and then gathers up the plates.
"Take these and make arrangements. Think about outfit for later." She winks on her way out of the door, leaving Thanara and Lisa in privacy for a while.
-------------------------------
The simple expedient of paying platinum is enough for Snow to secure the inn's small parlour for the entire evening and have a table and three chairs brought in.
Snow arrives at Thanara's room door at their appointed time, washed and neatly dressed with a small under-bust corset over her shirt, which gives her more cleavage than normal. She's holding a small bouquet of bluebells which she offers the sorceress when she opens the door, along with a kiss on the cheek.
"Ready for dinner?" She asks, offering an arm.
Thanara had spent the day pampering herself. She spent a not so minuscule amount of coin on being attended to, including a hot bath with a collection of local flowers and berries soaking in the water with her to perfume her body. The women hired to help her get prepared made sure her golden hair was primped and in perfect place, her make up immaculate, and her every need attended to as she got ready.
When the knock on the door came, Thanara conjured up the outfit she had been visualizing all day: a two piece number that flaunted her smooth stomach, the slight tone highlighted by the faintest of lines running vertical above her navel. The top also doubled as a bustier, flaunting her own feminine assets. The bottom included a long skirt with openings on either side of her thighs that ran all the way to the waist band.
Thanara opened the door and looked Snow up and down, then blushed and looked briefly to the flowers and asked ”For me?”
"If you'll be my date." The shifter replied with a smile, offering the bouquet. "You look lovely. Lisa meeting us downstairs."
She leads Thanara downstairs and breezes through the common room and past the accompanying stares with absolute self-confidence. Just beyond is the parlour and Snow opens the door to let Thanara through first.
The room is cozy, with warm candlelight dispelling the gloom and the fine smell of vegetable soup filling the small room. Snow pulls Thanara's chair for her and then does the same for Lisa before taking her own seat.
"Four courses." She says before tucking into the soup. "Save some room." She then fails to listen to her own advice, but both packmates have seen Snow put away enough food to fell a well built blacksmith so there's little risk she'll run out of energy.
"Think ever stops raining?" She asks between spoonfuls. "Like rain but so much. Can't be good for crops."
Lisa has opted to wear a gauzy white dress that provides tantalizing glimpses of her shapely form beneath. She smiles at Snow and Thanara as she takes her seat. "You both look lovely," she says before digging into the plentiful food.
Thanara daintily sits, running her hands down the back of her legs to fold her skirt up beneath her legs. She blushes at Lisavet’s compliment and replies ”So do you.”
She delicately sips at her soup and answers Snow with ”I don’t know…it sure seems to rain a lot here.”
"Not natural." Snow says with assurance. "Lake too high. Trees under water. But talk about happy things."
She takes a few more mouthfuls of soup, finishing her bowl as she thinks and then addresses Thanara.
"So... favorite animal?"
Thanara thinks for a minute before answering. "I saw this thing one time in Magnimar the one time I went as a little girl. I never learned what it was called, but it looked like a little dragon about the size of a cat. It was curled up on a wizard's shoulder as he walked by, and it made the cutest little chirping noises! I wanted one so bad...but Father wouldn't even let me talk about it..."
Thanara continues making small talk with the two other heroines in the empty parlor throughout the various courses. Throughout, Thanara had teased both the other women beneath the table with her feet and legs. She would slide them slowly up first Snow's leg, then Lisavet's, in slow, drawn out motions.
The final course being a dessert tray of local fruits like strawberries, black raspberries, and grapes as well as some small pastries. She took one of the raspberries in her fingers before leaning over to Lisavet and asking "Want one?" as she held it enticingly in front of her. She also shot Snow a look letting her know just by the gleam in her eye she wanted her to watch.
She gently traced the berry across Lisavet's lips antagonizingly slowly before pressing it carefully onto her tongue, along with the first two knuckles of her index finger. I can't believe I'm acting like this. In public. If we were in Sandpoint...Father would lose his ever loving mind...
Snow sits back in her chair and watches, with an expression not unlike a cat watching a particularly large saucer of milk. Extremely satisfied, combined with an intense desire for more.
"Mmmm," Lisa gives a sound of pleasure as she eats the berry. She sucks gently on Thanara's finger as it lingers in her mouth, her hand brushing the top of the other woman's thigh.
Thanara's thigh flinches slightly when Lisavet's hand makes contact. She then slowly pulls her finger from the priestesses mouth and picks up the tray of fruits and asks "Maybe we should take dessert...elsewhere?"
"Good idea." Snow says with a wide grin. She gets up to open the door for Thanara and holds a brief conversation with the innkeeper that ends with a bottle of wine before she follows her packmates upstairs.
"So..." She says slowly once the three are back in the privacy of their largest room. "Don't stop. Was enjoying the show."
Thanara heads over to the bed, placing the tray of fruit and desserts on the night stand. She takes a single plump strawberry and then lays back on the bed, bare feet and calves dangling off the side and propping herself up on her elbows. She holds the berry up to Lisavet and smirks as she says ”My turn.”
Lisa sits on the bed beside Thanara. With one hand, she traces her fingers over the skin of the sorceress's bare belly. With the other, she teases the strawberry around Thanara's lips before letting her take a bite of the juicy fruit.
Thanara’s breathing picks up, causing her chest to rise and her stomach to undulate under Lisavet’s touch as she lets her lips hang open as Lisavet teases both her midriff and her mouth. She playfully tries to nip the berry a couple times before Lisavet allows her to take a gentle bite.
Lisa withdraws the strawberry, takes her own bite of it, then leads down to kiss Thanara. The juice in both women's mouths mingle as Lisa's hands roam Thanara's body.
Thanara whimpers into Lisavet’s throat. She continues to remain propped up on her elbows, and her fingers clench the sheets of the bed as she allows the priestess to run her hands wherever they please, her eyes moving between making eye contact with her, then watching her hands work their magic, then looking over to Snow.
Snow has been taking advantage of Thanara and Lisa's distraction to remove her clothes, since she is the only one wearing anything that might be an inconvenience.
"Ready?" She asks, standing up from her chair. At the sorceress's nod she steps over to her packmates and proceeds to kiss each of them thoroughly.
"Up." She encourages Lisa, gesturing for the cleric to sit at the head of the bed, and inadvertently recreating the positions which had first interested Thanara so. "On your knees, Little Storm. Lick her. Love her."
As her packmates move into position Snow reaches for her magic and lets it change her. The new appendage between her legs springs into life at the delightful sight of a near naked Lisa and Thanara's rounded bottom positioned invitingly in front of her.
Remembering her own first time Snow takes herself in hand and rubs slowly between Thanara's lips, making sure to accumulate as much lubrication as possible onto her sensitive shaft before she positions herself.
"Love you, Little Storm." She says, before thrusting in hard, knowing that the first stroke is going to be painful. Once in she holds in place, locking her hands on Thanara's hips to help fight the primal urge to thrust. "Ok?" She asks, glancing at Lisa to see how Thanara is reacting. "Ready for more? Better now. Promise."
Thanara suddenly became a ball of nerves as Snow asked if she was ready. She nodded, and as Lisavet shifted in the bed, she reached up and removed her robe, letting it fall to the bed behind her as it felt like her whole body was trembling.
Snow instructed them into the inverse of the position Savah had put them in, and gave her the Snow version of the same instructions. She slowly moved into position, and started planting nervous kisses up Lisavet’s thighs.
Oh my god…this is it. This is happening. I…I should stop this. I’m noble born…
She then reaches the junction of Lisavet’s legs.
But…Lisavet says it’s okay…and she’s a holy person. So…it’s fine, right?
She leans down and plants a gentle kiss.
This is different though. I’m highborn. It’s a social standards thing. I have expectations on me. Like waiting for marriage. To a Lord. I…I shouldn’t even be doing this… she thought as she began licking.
Then she felt Snow preparing her…himself. Thanara’s hands clutched the sheets.
I…I should stop this!
She felt trapped.
”Love you, Little Storm.”
She started to rise up to protest just as Snow entered her, claiming her innocence and shattering the last vestiges of her virginity. Thanara’s eyes widened and her face dropped back into Lisavet’s groin as she groaned. Even as she did so, she felt her bodies instincts take over, and as she squeezed Snow with her own genitals muscles, she found herself trying to rock her body against her…him.
Lisa nods slowly to Snow, letting her know that Thanara is ready. She moans and bucks her hips as the sorceress’s tongue tends to her needs. Her hands go to her breasts and she gives them a squeeze, further enhancing her pleasure.
At Lisa's nod Snow grins tightly and begins to pull back and forth. She tries her hardest to go slowly, to make sure that Thanara is getting the chance to enjoy herself but the pleasurable feelings are just too good, especially when Thanara actually squeezes her.
When Thanara starts rocking back and meeting Snow's thrusts with her own the shifter lets out a primal growls and begins to thrust harder. When the leverage she gets from Thanara's hips isn't enough she leans right over the sorceress, driving herself deeper than ever in the process and placing almost all her weight on her lover. Unable to fight the primal instinct inside her she bites down at the junction of Thanara's neck and shoulder, pumping her hips as hard as she can until, with a guttural roar something inside her burst and she lets loose jet after jet inside the sorceress.
Done she retains enough presence of mind to support her own weight and withdraw from Thanara as slowly as she can.
"How was that?" She asks. "For you?" She didn't last as long as her ego would like so she's quite willing to finish the job by other means until her temporary anatomy is ready to go again. "I liked." She adds, examining the bite mark on Thanara's shoulder with no small amount of pride.
Thanara clenched her teeth and hung her head limply as Snow had her way with her. Thanara’s hair dangled across Lisavet from her stomach to her thighs as Thanara could only grunt and rock in time with Snow. Inside, she was humiliated with herself as the thoughts of what her Father would be saying right now echoed through her head.
But it all didn’t matter. It didn’t matter if she was no better than a Pixie’s Kitten right now. All that mattered was the feeling.
Her hands clenched the sheets when Snow bit her, causing her to yelp in pain. But it didn’t matter. She was getting close…so close.
And then she felt Snow’s release, and the thought of what just happened crept in briefly before she felt Snow withdraw. Snow asked something, but Thanara’s addled mind couldn’t comprehend it. She rolled over and fell back into Lisavet’s body as she pulled Snow closer too, now sandwiched between them. ”Don’t stop…please…” she begged, feeling the distance growing between her receding passion and the climax she desperately wanted.
Snow obliged, thrusting two fingers into Thanara's slick channel and pumping hard as she leans into the sorceress once more.
"Come Little Storm." She growled into the sorceress's ear. "Come for me!" She withdrew her hand just long enough to add a third finger and then thrust back in once more as her long middle finger searched for the pleasurable point at the apex of Thanara's thighs. "Your Alpha says come!"
Thanara whimpered and arched her back as Snow savaged her with her hand. She felt Lisavet’s hands slip around and clutch her breasts from behind, and her vocalizations became restrained moans.
But as the assault continued, the restraint broke down. Thanara grew louder and louder slowly, until with the last command she dropped her head back beside Lisavet as a primal cry broke free and resounded through the room! She thrashed and spammed through the climax, and all rational thought vanished inside the sorceress. Arcs of electricity flashed from her to strike random objects in the room, and after several moments, a second one crashed through in a cascade!
Then, the sorceress was still. Limp, sweaty, and totally spent, she laid there unconscious between the other two women.
"Think that went well." Snow says, grinning at Lisa over the unconscious sorceress between them. "How you?" She looks down to find that her 'interest' has already started to resurge. "Want to try?" She asks with a wink. "Would like to. Mate with all my pack."
”I’d say so,” Lisa observes wryly as she regards the unconscious Thanara. Her gaze strays to Snow’s rising interest, and she nods. ”Yes. I would very much like that.”
Snow grins again and beckons Lisa to crawl closer to her. When the cleric does so Snow leans in to kiss her thoroughly, running her hands up and down Lisa's back and then fondle her front as well. The reciprocal attention has Snow's 'interest' at full throttle almost immediately and Snow gets the urge to try something new.
She bends over, picks Lisa up bodily and pulls the blonde cleric to her chest. Lisa automatically locks her legs around Snow's hips and the shifter waddles a few steps towards the wall as the delicious friction rubs against her. She thrusts Lisa against the wall with a thud and pulls her hips back just long enough to get herself into position before she thrusts forwards and plunges into the cleric with a delighted growl.
Lisa grips hard, her fingers leaving scratches in Snow's back as the shifter thrusts her into the wall again and again, the delicious roughness making them both groan. Thanks to her first round with Thanara Snow finds she has a lot more staying power and she nuzzles into the curve of Lisa's neck, much like she did with Thanara, as she continues to pound her packmate. As before she can't help but bite down, sucking hard to ensure that Lisa has a bruise to mark her as Snow's.
Lisa happily moans and grunts as Snow pushes her up against the wall. The rough lovemaking soon has her reaching another climax, her nails digging into the shifter's back as he leaves a mark on her neck. She clings tightly to Snow as he achieves release inside of her, then gently guides Snow back to the bed where the pair join Thanara in an exhausted sleep...
You awake the next morning and prepare for the day. However, it isn't long before you realize something is wrong. The sound of rushing water starts low, but becomes louder and louder, and soon the screams of the townsfolk join in the cacophony.
Looking out the window, you can see that the village of Turtleback Ferry is drowning. The muddy, surging waters of the Skull River tear through the center of the community to fill Claybottom Lake with a terrible fury—many of the buildings that once sat comfortably on the river’s banks are already flooding and in danger of collapsing from the rushing water. A group of children and a woman huddle aboard one of the old turtleshell ferryboats, the tiny flood-bashed vessel lodged up against the general store and threatening to capsize at any moment. Beyond, the town’s church stands solid, its foundations already three feet deep in floodwaters.
Fortunately, the inn is outside of the flood zone--for now!
"Help them!" Snow calls, running towards the water. As she goes she transforms into a huge sized wolf and leaps into the water with a mighty splash, before paddling swiftly towards the group in the boat. There's no time to let anyone ride her so she seizes the boat in her jaws and does her best to paddle/drag it back to safety.
Thanara transforms herself into a lightning elemental and darts off to the north! She finds a likely place to dam the flooding river, using her magic to erect a wall of stone! The dam not big enough to stop the water completely, but it will divert enough of the water to prevent further flooding in the town.
Lisa casts air walk and strides out of the inn's second-story window, flames surrounding her feet as she walks above the floodwaters.
Meanwhile, Snow clamps down on the boat that the children are huddled on and begins to drag it to safety. She doesn't get too far, though, before a threat makes itself known! The surging waters carry an enormous, 16-foot-long boa constrictor up against the side of the ferry. The snake rises from the water with a loud hiss, eyeing a young girl with pigtails and freckles!
Snow roars, getting the snake's attention. It turns from the schoolgirl and lunges at the wolf!
Snow stays conscious despite the squeezing and her huge jaws attempt to gain purchase on the snake's head as her claws scrabble at the long sinuous body around her own.
Lisa strides closer and fires a ray of flame!
The electrical form of Thanara spots the predicament and gasps before bolting down to the fight from the skies! She arrives and grasps the snake by the throat, a jolt of electricity running over it’s body.
Snow manages a single hit as Lisa burns the snake and Thanara lightly shocks it. The animal maintains its grip on Snow, tightening its coils and biting her again!
Thanara keeps her grip on the snakes throat, and the electricity courses stronger over it!
"Snow! Hang on!" Lisa shouts, sending healing magic into the wolf.
She gives Thanara a bit of guidance!
Snow continues to thrash and claw rather wildly, meaning that she achieves very little.
Snow lands another hit, but Thanara zaps the snake several times! The animal releases its grip on Snow and dives back under the water, swimming away!
Snow, needing to make the most of the remaining 30 seconds or so she has to work with, grabs the boat once more and heads for the shore as fast as she can!
Snow is able to drag the boat the rest of the way to shore before her transformation ends. The schoolchildren and their teacher scramble to safety, crying and thanking the ranger profusely!
You have a few minutes to recover from the fight with the snake. Then, you see what at first appears to be a huge tree being swept downriver on a collision course with the town's church. Moments before it makes impact, though, it submerges. Then, a few moments later, the floodwaters surge violently, and with a thunderous roar, an immense monster rises from the flood!
An enormous, serpentine dragon with wide fins along its back and arms lets out a terrifying roar! Its head rises as high as the church's steeple. The sight of the creature sends the villagers of Turtleback Ferry into a blind panic! No one even notices that the rains have stopped, and that perhaps the flood waters are already beginning to slow. For now, the spectacle of the monster seemingly preparing to destroy the church is all that matters!
Thanara gasps as she looks up at the massive creature! She has no idea what it is, or what it is capable of, but based on its size…a fight here would level most of the town and kill how many people?
She swallows hard and steps forward…hoping her gambit works…
”I don’t know if you can understand me…but we don’t want any trouble! Please, let us settle this peacefully?” she calls out!
The hulking dragon blinks and regards Thanara. It lowers its head to gaze upon the sorceress, seemingly entranced by her beauty! It rumbles words in the Draconic language.
Thanara’s heart was racing. She was sure this thing was about to eat them. But…she’s entranced enough people with her beauty and words to be able to tell the subtle signs of something being charmed.
She sighs and approaches calmly, gently reaching out to place a hand soothingly on its head. ”I’m sorry…I don’t understand…do you speak Taldane?”
Lisavet steps up and casts a spell on Thanara, and Thanara can feel her hand trembling. She assures her she should be able to speak with the creature now.
”Hi…do you understand me now? My name is Thanara. What is yours?”
"I am Magga!" the dragon rumbles, causing the villagers to gasp and murmur. "Long have I dwelled in the depths of the Storval Deep. I have lived for centuries, but never have I laid eyes upon such an enchanting creature such as yourself, Thanara!"
Well, this was a game Thanara knew all to well. And one she was trained at exploiting. She blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear. ”You flatter me, Magga. For I have never encountered a creature as grand and awe inspiring as you! Your majesty and might are clearly unrivaled! Might I ask, what has disturbed you so that resulted in the people of this poor town incurring your wrath? For I can say with assurance that they never would have dared cause you such offense themselves.”
"I have slumbered for years, but an incessant hammering sound disturbed my rest. I followed the noise to the great dam, where I discovered several ogres hacking away at the stone. I attacked, eager to taste these large, juicy-looking morsels. But as I surged up onto the dam, my bulk caused the weakened stone to collapse, and the floodwaters swept me all the way down here.
"I was injured and angry, and so I had intended to unleash my fury! But, seeing you here before me, I have had a change of heart..."
Thanara steps closer to the massive creature. ”And I am grateful for your mercy. Truly, you have a kind and benevolent heart. I am sorry these ogres ruined your home. Perhaps…perhaps we can help one another? These ogres are enemies of ours as well. And they are led by a woman who has the lower body of a snake named Lucrecia. They all, in turn, answer to another named Mokmurian. I fear they have a much larger plot planned, and I fear for the safety of both these poor villagers as well as for my people back home.”
She continues to approach, her own body beginning to tremble as she gets closer to this thing that could likely easily kill her if things took a turn. ”Are you still injured? I might be able to assist you with some healing magic?”
The dragon snorts, hot steam buffeting Thanara's clothes. "My wounds have repaired themselves. But my fury has not been sated. I will help you, Thanara. Climb upon my back, and we will return to the dam. If any of those ogres survived the flood, I will make them wish that they had not!"
Thanara curtsies to Magga. ”Can my other friends accompany us?” she asks, gesturing to Lisavet and Snow. ”They have fought at my side against those ogres and their allies for weeks now.”
