Innkeeper Info

The dinner rush came and went, with Zaya watching from the side lines.

She had simply introduced herself as a guest to the few regulars that showed up; about 11 in total over the course of the night. There didn't seem to be a pattern to them other than they were from this side of the village and friends with Ryia or her parents.

Parents she found out had gone missing one day. That made her feel a bit bad about this whole thing but little late to have a guilt trip now. And it wasn't like she could care for EVERY person she came across, she was going to have to be cruel at some point. Best she could do is watch over the little innkeeper and make sure she had a bit more in her life than just an inn and missing parents.

Hypocritical moral dilemma aside, espically considering what she was doing, she got some decent testing out of it.

As she thought, human didn't seem to be able to taste the **** if it was in a small enough dosage. The one dwarf however noticed something seemed off, which Ryia waved off as new seasoning. He just asked it not to be used in any of his dishes from that point on. Was that due to his race or was it a knack the brewer himself had? She'd have to test that later.

The aphrodesic worked about as she expected, with those that consumed it having a heated 'flash' of lust that lasted only a little bit. This made them get a little handsy with their partner, or quickly duck out to the bathroom but it didn't last long enough to do much than a few gropes and some shifting of pants to make room. She did see the three couples holding hands as they left; no doubt off to enjoy a pleasant evening together.

It was the 'tar' that was more interesting.

That was another thing she needed to either name or extract from the pool. Could she even call it 'cum' when the liquid seemed to be the same thing that was in the pool or came out of the Repours? It had to be some sort of generic material or something though...., or maybe just the liquid form of whatever living metal that made up her body and the rest of her minions.

It didn't have the same effect as the Aphrodesic, instead it had a weirder effect. Those that consumed it seemed to blank out for a bit. Even if they were still eating, their actions were somewhat... off. Like they were out of tempo in what they were supposed to do, or their mind was muddled. The effect only lasted a few bites though, and only one person had stumbled trying to go to the rest room afterward. But that wasn't the interesting part short of showing that they needed a larger dose if she wanted more.

It was the numbers.

Only those that consumed the inky gunk had numbers over their heads. Not all the time, she found out she could focus and disable the reading, but the fact they were there in the first place was informative. They were all FAR less than what Krea had, at least then 1-2%. Even Ryia who had gotten a full fledged dose from her was only sitting at only about 5%. And that was when she had first checked.

Now near the end of the shift, Zaya saw the innkeep was sitting at about 3%. This meant that whatever it was could be filtered out of the body much like any other toxin but if that was the case; what happened when it got higher? More info to go ask the pool about. Well the travel back to the pool would take about a day anyway and Ryia had given her the room for the week. SURE she could stay longer but it was an act to keep up. Zaya was going to make sure to pay her to stay longer if need be.

She just needed to figure out what she was going to do tomorrow. Ryia had been very helpful about giving info about the town, even if she seemed to lack the details of things. She knew about the adventurer's guild branch in town, and the higher tiered one inside the secondary wall. She pointed out a few different important shop keeps, including an Alchemist in town. And the fact the Elf she had seen was more than likely the local Adjudicator; the person that handed most the day to day problems of the town and the legal process. The mayor wasn't corrupt to the point of making the town suffer, he just left the Elf to do most the work while he skimmed a few extra coins from the tax or discoveries. Supposedly, but he was at least hands off or even helped out when there was a HUGE problem(Usually writing for help).

"I'm reminded of those people that own the store, but barely run or manage it; they just show up for the profits at the end of the month." Zaya thought to herself.

What was more interesting were those strange armored people. From what Ryia knew, they were part of the Valar Steelworks. This was the group that owned the, from Zaya's own understanding of it, small but heavily defended scrap yard and workshop. They usually came to the village either to sell some of their gizmos, take a few jobs from the Adventurer's Guild as they were going to kill some monsters in their way ANYWAY so get paid for it, and set up trade with the merchants and leaders. Usually for foodstuff as while they could grow some, it was never enough to feed them. Nor could they brew their own stuff.

WELL, they could. But it was basically paint thinner according to anyone in town that drank it and could remember anything after the black out. A foul drink made by the inexperienced and ****.

The Valar members rarely went anywhere outside of their holding without wearing their heavy protective suits. Which according to rumors, was modified protective gear original meant to be worn in forges and alchemy labs. Reinforced to handle blades, bashes, and bolts now. A few bandits tried to rob them one time on their way to the village a few months ago and well..., they had fewer bandits now, just only spread out in a wider area.

"So Valar is a bunch of basically redneck do it yourself tinkerers with heavy armor and weapons. Lovely." She muttered as she leaned back onto her bed.

"Did you say something Mistress?"

"Just use those boobs of you like I taught you." she answered.

To reward her new pet, she had allowed Ryia to 'bring her to bed'. Right now she was giving Zaya's cock a tounge bath while using her breasts for an impromtu boob job. The pair were perky but just not big enough to really get anything from it. Still it was a nice change of pace, and Ryia while disappointed was still eager to try her best. The lass needed a reward.

Zaya gripped her head and pulled her down onto her cock, blasting a few loads down her eager throat, her voice muffled by the thick cock as she took in her own pleasure.

The number above her head changed to about 5-6% now.
