Ilya and Temerity Arrive

The tiefling paladin and the elven wizard were the next to come down the stairs. Temerity stared at the patrons with disdain as she ordered two hard boiled eggs with one piece of unbuttered toast for breakfast. Ilya ordered a salad, seemingly not noticing the discreet acts of perversion. They sat at the table with Vorka, Isabelle, and Lauren.

Ilya spoke first, "Will you play more of your music for us in the dungeon, Lauren? Will Vorka allow you your hands for that?"

Vorka just snorted derisively. Temerity pretended that Lauren was not touching Vorka's breast, "Can we stay at a different inn?"

Isabelle shook her head, "This is the cheapest in town. Besides, this lets Vorka and I be ourselves without too much judgement." No one in the tavern was judging them. Lauren had at least managed that. Lauren had finished his meal and was trying to not let his erection show to the women at the table. Vorka had large breasts to match her height and muscles. Lauren was having difficulty keeping his thoughts clear. In fact, he kept thinking of wishes that he should not wish. He tried to focus on Temerity. He realized that he made Ilya like his music, but at least Temerity had not been affected by any of his wishes. Unfortunately that made her seem out of place in the group. Her chastity was something that Lauren had thought was unhealthy, but now he was grateful that someone wasn't engaging with all the nonsense in this tavern.

The two newcomers ate quickly and soon the group was ready to set off, back towards the dungeon. Maybe some harrowing adventure would get Lauren's mind out of the gutter. He was finally given leave to take his hand away from Vorka's breast as they all stood to leave. The now young Marian took their plates and Lauren noticed her nipples poking into the fabric of her shirt. Even she was affected, no longer wearing a bra. As they walked out, Lauren noticed that the name of the inn had changed to the Rollicking Cock. He wondered how the townsfolk felt about the place now.

As the group took their leave, a man in priestly garments approached. Temerity seemed to recognize him as she spoke, "Brother Lusserint! What are you doing here?"

The man scowled at the diminutive tiefling. He stood over a head taller than her, though could not match her blow for blow given his lack of muscle or armor. He spoke with a haughty air, "Sister Temerity, your mission is to cleanse the ruin of the Demon Marquis Ashbonal. Now I come to give you holy water blessed to aid you in your quest, but here I find you exiting a house of ill-repute!"

The chastisement hit Temerity hard. Isabelle and Vorka looked to be on the verge of intervening when Temerity put out a hand to stop them. "You don't understand, brother. You see, I-"

"I understand enough! You can be sure that the high priest of Pelles will hear of this transgression. Say good bye to your status, demon-spawn."

Lauren was willing to let Temerity get chewed out by this guy. He felt at fault but respected Temerity's desire that he stay out of it. However, after Lusserint insulted her for being a tiefling, Lauren didn't even think about stepping in: he just did it.
