Learn the spell, buy vial and shield, leave

Darla is an attractive woman and pleasuring her should be far more pleasant than anything you did with men, including that pretty half-elf mage but at some point you need to draw the line. You have enough money to start your adventuring career and that's what you'll do. "I am sorry, but I m really not into girls" You say with a shy smile.

"Oh. I see. It is a pity. Well, it is a matter of taste isn't it?" Darla doesn't seem to be offended by the rejection "So, what will you buy?"

"What did you say about the spell?" It may sound quite useless and expensive but it may give you a chance to change your class to a magic user.

"Oh. It is really fun one to cast. Listen. It all starts with imagination...." You spend few next hours listening Darla instructions and by the end you learn it and even successfully cast it on her.

"Nice" She says "I got few dirty thoughts involving me and you so it works. I am very resistant to that kind of magic so don't worry about apparent lack of success. You did just fine. Is this all or you want to buy something else?

"Well, I think I need some strength" - you point at the vial. "Even after all your oral action it is embarrassing to buy an item like that.

"Oh, my friend's Taug juice" Darla smiles "It was such a chore to get it out of him. BTW, don't suck off every minotaur you'll meet hoping to get more strength. It likely won't work. You need feed them some specific herbs first and do it in a right time of day" she gives you the vial. "Here it is. But money first"

You nod, pay the necessary eight gold pieces, open the vial and gulp the contents and experience the familiar taste yet again. Almost immediately you feel a nice pleasant wave of warmth going through your muscles.

You are left with only one gold piece and decide to buy yourself a little bit of extra protection in the form of shield. Satisfied with your purchases you look at your character sheet.

You are pleased to notice that your attack damage went up. Shield is quite useful too, granting you additional physical and a tiny bit of magic defense. Finally your evasion becomes higher even with additional encumbrance from the shield. That second point of strength helps.

Now, with your purchases finally done. You say goodbuy to Darla and head to the eastern gate. You spent quite a lot of time learning the spell, so, when you reach the gate the sun starts to rise.

"Hey. Nessa! Leaving us already?" One of two NPC gate guards says "How about a little parting gift? Me and Mark would enjoy to have your sweet lips on our cocks"

You throw an angry glare at him, say nothing and start walking on the road toward the nearest town. It is about five hours from there...
