Free yourself.

You glance down at the arm at your neck. You lift your free hand up, and move it past her elbow and towards her body. The upper half of her body is clad only with shoulder guards and a breastplate over top of brown fabric tightly wrapped around her bust. It isn't a lot of protection, but her body is durable enough without more. It is a lot of exposed skin, however, and you know one of her weaknesses. Your fingers brush gently against the underside of her arm, and with it raised to keep hold of your throat, it's easy enough to access her armpit.

Your fingers relentlessly tickle the sensitive flesh, and she reacts instantly. Niki retreats her arm and squeezes it against her side, but that only pins your fingers inside. You continue to wiggle them, but now she's too tense to lift her arm to free you.

"Mmm... N-No! Ahaha! Stop, stop!" Niki legs wobble. "S-Stop, please!"

Finally, she releases your wrist as well. The sword in that hand is glowing a faint shade of pink.

You pop your fingers free, and then go wild on her sensitive sides. You tickle your fingers up and down her midriff and she cackles wildly. She steps backwards, and slams up against the wall with **** gasps. She pants hard, and through her giggling, she can't help but let out a few more embarrassing noises. You watch as her face flushes with dark colour and she turns to putty in your hands.

"Stop, I--Noo!" Then from her face comes a blinding sheet that covers your eyes briefly before passing straight through your head.

You turn and there's nothing there. Then when you look back to Niki, besides her struggling to catch her breath, she seems to be fine. Her eyes have returned to normal, and she struggles to stand up straight as she puts a hand to her head.

"That was... quick thinking," she mumbles. But then she stomps a foot down as she yells in your face. "But did you have to do something so embarrassing?!"

"Quick. We must move," Amara takes the lead. Her eyes make it an easy task to see through the darkness.

Koblix shines his light to the archway. "I agree. This spirit really doesn't want us in here, and I don't want to be in here either!"

The party hurries back into the entry hall. There are three ways to go, and the captives could be anywhere. They might not be responding for a multitude of reasons, so you're just going to have to check everywhere and do your best to fight off the angry spirit. First, you turn to the dining room. Niki looks a little more hesitant now, so you walk beside her as the goblin's light illuminates the room.

There's a rotted wooden dining room table, and more paintings on the wall. It looks like it would have been a lovely room in its prime. From here, another archway leads to the kitchen. There's nothing here either. When you open one of the cupboards, a few spiders come skittering out. You let go and step backwards, and decide it might be best not to touch anything here.

"After the parlour, there are bedrooms upstairs. I don't know much else," Koblix explains.

"This chill is giving me goosebumps," Eva mutters. She crosses her arms, pushing up her bust. You look down to see that her skin is indeed covered in tiny bumps, but two more definitive ones poke against the front of her blouse. Without a bra, you can definitely tell she's chilly, that's for sure.

"I still can't believe that happened," Niki says. "I lost control. This place really is spooky. What if I get possessed again?"

You pat her on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll just have my fingers ready," you say as you wiggle them in front of her.

"D-Don't say it like that," she replies.

Koblix peeks back out into the hall and shines the light around. "I hope the others are all right..." he mumbles.
