"If you wish us to maintain our casual affair, I will abide. If you wish for something more tangible, I will abide. Your sensual form would make me a loyal dog if you wanted."
"Lady Kalypso has stated her interest in the past. But from what I know of fey; they are fickle creatures. So who knows if she still bats her eyes at me with intent or just to play."
"I wanted to talk with you first before I might be making a mistake."
"You seem to possess great knowledge about healing and the state of sublime. I wanted to pose a possible scenario. As a sublime creature myself, if I ever got captured by the authorities and my hands were chopped off, do you think they would grow back or would they be lost to me forever?" A murmur of genuine worry caught in Davod's words.
The scroll is fixed in 28 days.

Davod calls the others to discuss their future.
"Hello, my new family! I wanted to sit us down and talk about what we, as an elite adventuring party, is going to do next. As I know my own desires, I shall go first."
"Being in Aukan's Warband, I have been subjected to new perspective and delights. I am not the same street rat you first met. I've talked to my Goddess and eventually began my new life in a demiplane we control!"
"And if the 'the skies are the limit', I wish to leave Katapesh behind. Here I am still under the employment of the Pactmaster Thieve's Guildmaster. I want to see new lands, new peoples..and fleece them for everything they're worth. And if possible, strengthen my bond with Desna. But I don't know how."
The Demiplane is vast. We could ask Lady Pharos to make us a massive fortress we can all live in, or individual kingdoms to rule inbetween missions. I will do as the majority wishes, no pun intended, in this respect. And I look forward to discussion. Also, the Demiplane needs a new name! Maybe Aukan's Demiplane? Or Lady Pharo's Pleasure Plane?"
The suli thief calls on his Efreeti paramour. "Lady Pharos. May I have a moment?" Davod takes Lady Pharos's hand in his. "Desert Rose. We finally have a moment to rest and take stock of ourselves. Dear one, you are the most powerful genie that I know. And I am but a lowly street rat. So, clearly, you set the pace of our relationship. And I ask, what do you want with me? With us? No other being has been more a benefit from knowing them other than Desna herself. And I just wished once more to thank you so much for all the wonderful things you have done to me and for me." The suli winked.
"If you wish us to maintain our casual affair, I will abide. If you wish for something more tangible, I will abide. Your sensual form would make me a loyal dog if you wanted.""Lady Kalypso has stated her interest in the past. But from what I know of fey; they are fickle creatures. So who knows if she still bats her eyes at me with intent or just to play."
"I wanted to talk with you first before I might be making a mistake." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41
"Your welcome Davod!" She then waits to listen to the rest of your words thinking upon them. While she thinks she kisses you.
"Thank you for your consideration. I would love to have you as a loyal dog and more. If you want to have a Dalliance with Kalypso or someone else you just tell me and we can talk about it. I will most likely let you go have fun, for I know you will always come back to me. My past... we were sex slaves of an efreeti."
Davod travels to the lame nymph. "Good day, Lady Kalypso." The suli bows respectfully. "Now that the tides of fates are ebbing, I wished to ask if the offer to gain your Favor is still available?" If offered, Davod kisses the nymph's hand. Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30
Kalypso rides upon the Golden One. He brings her down to speak with you. With a blush on her face, "I gave you my favor already. Would you like more? I can give you more but I will need access to your body for a few days, no breaks."
The suli thief finds the leader of the party, bottle of spirits in hand. "Hail to thee, Aukan the Mighty! I wish to reaffirm our bonds of friendship and camaraderie!" Davod opens the bottle and hands it to the goliath to drink. "My friend! Ever since I joined your band of fire adventurers, my luck has quintupled at least! I wish to give thanks to you, and if you will bear my presence further; I shall go where you lead." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (14) + 24 = 38
With a great smile and Sasha at his side, "Of course my friend!" He takes the bottle and drinks from it offering it to Sasha who drinks as well before returning it to Davod. "I will gladly lead you! After all I need good companions that can scout and cover my rear!" He pulls out a bottle of his own brandy and the three of us drink of it before he offers, "Should we go add Kazok to this friendship party and the others?!"
The thief talks to meet with the ifrit healer. "Greetings and well met, Nima! If you have a moment, now that the dangers have slowed, I have some questions to ask."
"You seem to possess great knowledge about healing and the state of sublime. I wanted to pose a possible scenario. As a sublime creature myself, if I ever got captured by the authorities and my hands were chopped off, do you think they would grow back or would they be lost to me forever?" A murmur of genuine worry caught in Davod's words. Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32
She smiles and greets you silently. She listens to your inquiry and thinks upon it. "I fear that normal healing including our fast healing would merely heal the stumps. Though I could regenerate them with the spell. Where as Kazko as a troll would be able to regenerate or reattach them."
"Thank you for your consideration. I would love to have you as a loyal dog and more. If you want to have a Dalliance with Kalypso or someone else you just tell me and we can talk about it. I will most likely let you go have fun, for I know you will always come back to me. My past... we were sex slaves of an efreeti."
Davod smiled sweetly and sat down next to Lady Pharos. The thief wrapped his arms around his lover. He kissed the efreeti's cheek. "I do love you", Davod spoke sincerely. "And I will always come back to you. "
The sulu shifted in his seat. "I knew you were in the employ of some other efreeti. But I did not know the extent. I am sorry."
Davod sighed. "I shall try to keep your feelings in the foremost of my mind, Desert Flower. I ask that you be patient with me. I do not wish to cause you grief. If I am being too ..ardent in seeking your companionship, please let me know. It's just the thought of your body drives my wild with passion! You are a whole woman. Extremely powerful! But with your own feelings and desires. And I want to be here to find them with you!"
Davod kissed Pharos's hand tenderly.
Later
Davod meets up with Lady Pharos again. "Well I had a discussion with Lady Kalypso..", the suli said with some hesitance. Um, Lady Kalypso has requested my body for.." The thief coughed. "Several days. No breaks, she says. She says in order to give me more powerful favors. I told Lady Kalypso I would talk with you first."
"Should we go add Kazok to this friendship party and the others?!"
"Yes!" Davod smiled at his friends. "We have much to discuss and plan!"
Davod finds the golden sentient tree. "Oblong! Hello! Will you be stay with us? Is there anyway I, or the others can help you? Maybe find some mulch? Or make sure to water you? I do not know how to make your situation better, but I wish to try." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40
"Oolong! Not Oblong! You help me plenty, I have never been fed so well! I prefer to eat of the living flesh over mulch it gives me sustenance much quicker. More indigestion but quicker."
He happily will stay with the group.
Of the gifts offered, Davod claims the silver Mouhannad medallion and the single gold earring, which the suli immediately puts in his ear, taking the brass one out.

"Aukan's Demiplane! No that is ridiculous. Thank you for that honor though. I suggest 'The Jungle Paradise.' but I like the ring of Pharols Pleasure Plane!" He pulls out jars and passes them around, brandy, whiskey and a few other liquors! "To new companions and old! May we make wise decisions and be loyal friends for all times!"
Davod smiled sweetly and sat down next to Lady Pharos. The thief wrapped his arms around his lover. He kissed the efreeti's cheek. "I do love you", Davod spoke sincerely. "And I will always come back to you. "
She loves you back, "I know you will!"
The sulu shifted in his seat. "I knew you were in the employ of some other efreeti. But I did not know the extent. I am sorry."

Davod kissed Pharos's hand tenderly.
With a smile she replies, "Thank you for your sympathy. It is my past, now we work on our future!"
She blushes, her flames turning a bit blue, "I will be patient. I want you to take me now! Make love to me, be passionate, meet my flames!" She wraps her arms around you and kisses you passionately.
Later
Davod meets up with Lady Pharos again. "Well I had a discussion with Lady Kalypso..", the suli said with some hesitance. Um, Lady Kalypso has requested my body for.." The thief coughed. "Several days. No breaks, she says. She says in order to give me more powerful favors. I told Lady Kalypso I would talk with you first."
She happily states, "I had you last night and I am sure that will tide over my passion until you are back. Go have fun with her, with my blessing. I need to come up with a nick name for you. I love it when you call me Desert Flower. Rat comes to mind but that is only because you call yourself that. I will think on it while you are away."
"Alexandria's Pleasure Plane if we are going for that! We will make sure you are free to leave their employment and wander the world with us, Davod. I do intend on returning the Pleasure Palace back to its glory. I had Dilix explain how it was before. There will be plenty of room for us and all our allies and more! There is also a dungeon to explore below the Pleasure Palace."
She lounges upon Oolong, "Call it what you want. I call it home, my sanctuary. With those I love and new faces to meet everyday. I can't wait to bring more fey in here!"
She quietly sits to the side. Taking part in the drinking and watching.
"Yes I would like to bring in new things to eat and taste!"
"I like Alexandria's Pleasure Plane but perhaps we can tweak it to just, The Pleasure Plane." She states and partakes in the drinking. She sits close to Aukan to feel his body.
She blushes, her flames turning a bit blue, "I will be patient. I want you to take me now! Make love to me, be passionate, meet my flames!" She wraps her arms around you and kisses you passionately.
”Your Wish”, Davod breathed, ”is My Command!” The suli's swift hand undid the efreeti's brazier as he returned Lady Pharos passionate kisses. As Davod fondled the genie's bare breasts, Pharos undid the rogue's pants. They fell to the ground, exposing his rigid cock. The genie began to stroke the suli's hard on, as Davod leaned back on the ground. Pharos used her tongue to tease Davod's bell end and shaft. The genie spat on it to add lubrication. Pharos slurped on Davod's cock as the rogue moaned with pleasure. The genie choked slightly on the rigid wet cock in her mouth, but continued to suck and stroke. The efreeti fondled her t@*+ as she worked Davod's cock even harder and wetter. Davod continued to moan as his extraplanar lover worked his cock.
”Please bend over”, Davod purred, ”as I fuçk you from behind.” Pharos took off her wet undergarments and turned toward the wall. She spread her cheeks to allow Davod to see her fiery pussy, swollen lips and flaming pubic hair. Davod scooted up close behind her and slowly inserted his cock. Pharos began to moan immediately as Davod thrusted in and out of the efreeti's cünt. ”Oh, Davod! You are so deep!” The genie purred. The suli fondled Pharos's big muscular âss as he pumped his cock in and out of the genie's pussy. The efreeti began to thrust her ass back and forth on Davod's cock, so the rogue watched as his lover's ass rode his cock for a few minutes. Pharos soon let out a whimpering cry of ecstasy as her juices coated Davod's cock.”Turn over”, Davod demanded. Pharos stared up at him as then suli put his cock back in her juicy vagina. Davod leaned down and held Pharos by his shoulders as he pumped his cock back and forth, the genie rolling around under him blissfully. The suli massaged Pharos's breasts as she jiggled under his rhythm. The powerful efreeti whimpered under Davod as he kept thrusting inside her. ”I am yours!” Davod panted. ”Anytime you want! I will spread my seed on you or in you as much as you want!” The suli gave one of Pharos's t#%* a playful slap. ”This pussy is so good!” Davod grunted. Pharos's eyes began to roll back in he head. ”Cum inside me!” Pharos begged. ”Please!” Davod grunted with delight as he thrusted faster and faster, closer to his goal. ”Cum in me! Give it to me!” The efreeti begged. Davod leaned down closer to Pharos, licking her neck as his cock thrummed in and out. Davod then let out a choked moan as his cock emptied inside of the elemental outsider's juicy cünt. The genie moaned, feeling Davod's hot load swirl inside her.
Later
Davod meets up with Lady Pharos again. "Well I had a discussion with Lady Kalypso..", the suli said with some hesitance. "Um, Lady Kalypso has requested my body for.." The thief coughed. "Several days. No breaks, she says. She says in order to give me more powerful favors. I told Lady Kalypso I would talk with you first."
She happily states, "I had you last night and I am sure that will tide over my passion until you are back. Go have fun with her, with my blessing. I need to come up with a nick name for you. I love it when you call me Desert Flower. Rat comes to mind but that is only because you call yourself that. I will think on it while you are away."
Davod made a soured look. "Please no. I hoped you to see more than a rodent. Besides Lady Kalypso extended the invitation to you as well. What better way to make sure I return to you safe and sound, if you were there, enjoying it with me?"
"Yes I would like to bring in new things to eat and taste!"
A thought washed over Davod's face. "Let me talk to Aukan. I think i might have an idea."
"On our adventures, most beings that cross us die by our blades. Some of those people could be very important people with access to magic that might bring them back to life. Returning thorns in our side", Davod explained, scratching his shoulder. "I think, we as a group, should procure a large bag of holding. And this bag would only be used for collecting our dead foes. Then, we empty the bag for Oblong to devour! Our intelligent plant monster gets fed, and we have a convenient way to make sure our foes stay dead!"
She happily goes with Davod.
Aukan nods and agrees that Davod has a great idea and shares it with the group...
"We will get a bag of holding, fill it with the bodies of our fallen foes, and feed them to Oolong. Especially so they don't get resurrected."
Davod claps. "Excellent idea, ra'iis. Now, Lady Pharos told of a dungeon underneath The Pleasure Palace. Should we start our next adventure there? Or into far off lands?"
Soon enough the group gets to the pleasure palace and see that it is restored. Walking into the main hall, Dilix and her servants greet you warmly. They will offer refreshments and other services should you request them.
Once past them you make your way to the dungeon. Down stairs upon stairs they lead to a dungeon door made of solid stone. Sasha waves at Davod, "After you!"
The suli examines the door carefully, taking out his tools.
The door unlocks... He pushes on the door and moves into the dungeon a fire trap shoots flames on him as he dodges forward, luckily they don't hurt him.
"Does it automatically resest? I still don't see the trap!" She says frustrated.
"I don't think it will reset", Davod postulated.
The gouts of flame reset every round trigger with any proximity.
Once through you see that there is a wall of pictographs. You can see a humanoid in armor labeled adventurer. Then you see three other pictures, a short green humanoid, a blue orb, and a flying bird or bat.
There are also more stairs down.
"If I am reading this correctly and if we can trust it, then this level of the dungeon has green humanoids, slimes, and those flying creatures. I feel they would be below us." He then begins to walk down the stairs.
Then he stops and comes back looking at the picture again. "I wonder if this is just a simple slime ooze or that of a sapphire ooze. If the second they could be useful!"
Davod stands next to Aukan as they examine the pictographs. "Yes, Those are definitely goblins", nodded the suli.
"And you're right, Aukan; those are sapphire slimes. And vampire bats. Look at the shape of the wing!"
The thief pondered. "It is likely the females goblins are kept specifically for breeding. To maintain numbers for his dungeon."
- 4 = 5
"Well", David breathed. "I now see how they kept the goblins in."
Nima would think of channelling once everyone is through the trap but insteads walks over to Kazko and hits him with a cure light.
"May the flame take your pain away."
"No worries Kazko, my flame will always be there for you." She jumps a bit and adds, "As it is for everyone." Her face gets a bit flushed.
He asks, "So are we exploring this area or moving down?"
"Well. At least we have an idea of what awaits us", Davod shrugged as he carefully descended.
Davod finds a few more traps down to the next level. You find another tablet like the level above with pictures of beetles, blue humanoids with claws, and daggers.
"What in the Hells?" Davod said as he gaze up at the tablet. "Unless..this tablet tells us what to expect in the next lower level. I see! Very helpful!"
From behind a figure emerges from the stone, her feminine form is drapped in darkness.
Her voice is soft and hard to hear, "Ah, there you are! Fresh faces, eager blades, curious eyes… welcome, welcome to these ancient halls. I am your escort, your guide through the winding dark. Do not fear—the dungeon is far kinder with me at your side. Stay close, watch your footing, and you may yet see wonders few ever glimpse."
She begins walking, crystal light flickering against damp stone, yet the light never truly reaches her.
"But listen well. The walls remember more than footsteps. Here, whispers linger—some are tricks of the wind, others… are not. You may hear voices calling your name, urging you off the path. Do not answer them. The dungeon delights in luring souls astray."
Her tone shifts, softer, almost teasing. "Deeper still lie the guardians—stone sentinels that do not sleep. They watch for intruders and crush the careless. Past them, a river runs black as pitch, and within it stir things with too many eyes, too many teeth. If you fall in… I will not be able to pull you back."
She glances back, eyes catching the torchlight strangely. "And then, of course, there are the traps. Hidden blades in the walls, floors that vanish beneath your boots, doors that lock tighter the more you struggle. The dungeon is clever—hungrier than you might believe. It learns from those who enter, and it will test each of you in turn."
Her voice lowers, becoming more serious, weighty. "So walk carefully, adventurers. Trust your steel, trust your wits… and perhaps trust me, at least for now. I am the lantern in the dark, the one thread keeping you from unraveling in this endless maze. But do not mistake me for salvation. The dungeon is always watching, always waiting… always hungry."
Davod finds a few more traps down to the next level. You find another tablet like the level above with pictures of beetles, blue humanoids with claws, and daggers.
beetles
blue humanoids with claws
daggers
"Alright Mysterious Lady! Who are you? What are you?! I've never heard of a 'dungeon escort' before!"
"I think..those are ice trolls?!! They look like the ones I've seen in picture books. Never thought I'd ever come across any! Not in this heat!"
She chuckles at Davod's words, "You may call me Jezebel. You could call me a dungeon master if that helps your minds' wrap around why I am here. I am a guide and also perhaps the boss of the dungeon..." She lets the statement sink in and smiles at your group.
The suli looks to the others for help with 'Jezebel'.
He makes an offhand remark, "I don't mind having another escort!"
She squeals out, "A Noble Shaiten! You can grant wishes like Alexandra! Would you be willing to team up with us if we can prove our worth?"
She stays quiet leaving this one to Nima and Sasha.
