Preparations for the trip

The party makes a number of inquiries relating to enchantments while also enquiring about the origins and history of the strange compass found within the cave of the bandits slayed in the Milkwood Forest north of Tidisquizzin. As the discussion continued, the wizard notified them of his general lack of desire of jade, but that perhaps the party was willing to go on a quest on his behalf in return for his enchanting services.

Pearla approaches the wizard and hands over the compass for inspection. Ashton takes it and start examining it on a side table, his adjustable spectacles magnifying minute details.

"Ah yes, fine work this. This is a Vagvisir. Ancient, probably back from the age of empires, but still holding its enchant."Ashton said. "Its a type of compass that shows you the direct to an item. A wizard can change the item of focus, but it would seem that this one has been fixed on the same item for a long time."

“Any idea what it might be? Or even better how far this might take us?” Pearla asks as she leans up against a wall.

"Alas no, the compass doesnt reveal that. Just that it is linked to an item and it is in that direction" The wizard turns and after a moment waits for the needle to stop and then points to the south east of Wannasuqatitti.

"Well, summat to keep in mind while we travel, I reckon." Cerfepto chimed in.

"Isn't there some glowy stuff you can do to it to show when we are closer to it?" Itsa asks.

"Good luck with that! If you find anything interesting, then i would love to examine it! Though I'm not hopeful given the tone of the inscription" the wizard said.

"Interesting..maybe we should make our way to it..but that seems like an expensive journey." Lathander said.

"If we see the needle move while we're out an' about, then we'd have an idea of how far away it is."Cerfepto commented

"First though magic hands here had a quest right" Itsa said looking towards Ashton?

"That is right I don't mind doing some work for some enchanting..we can handle ourselves pretty well after all." Lathander said

"Ah yes young Gobbo, I understand you all wish my enchanting services. That is well within my power. What is not is leaving this place? At least not in my advanced age. If you go I'm my stead, retrieve an item and return then I will be pleased to offer you each a suitable reward.". Ashton replied to Itsa.

"What item do you need sir"Itsa asks

“Sounds good as long as we can keep the compass item ya old coot.” Pearla jests with a smile giving the wizard a pair of finger guns and grin.

"No need to be touchy," Ashton hands back the compass to Pearla chuckling, "My interest is purely academic"

“Any tips for the spell I should know other than it takes energy like every other spell….of which I only have one, but that’s entirely besides the point?” Pearla asks Ashton.

"Charm is simple enough is you hold clearly in your mind your intent for the target. Telekinesis will take some getting used to, be gentle at first"Ashton replies to pearla.

"Then we have an agreement" the wizard declares as he hears that everyone agrees to his terms. He then informs the group that the items is located in a seaside cave north of Gimacudil on the shores of the Freshwater Sea. "Its about 8 days travel by foot, though it can be tough going through the Other Desert so best to prepare"

"Agreed desert travel can be quite harsh on the body.." Lathander thinks about it and looks to the party. Seeing what might be needed for a trek through the desert.

"Screw me, it's 'cross the desert?" Cerfepto sighs. "Well, we've got our work cut out for us..."

“We could hire a caravan I’m sure for a small fee we could travel at a much faster pace.”Pearla says as she thinks for a minute. “Heck give me enough time and I bet I could coax out the Jade myself tonight at the tavern.”

"Desert not so bad just watch yer self for sandy briches" Itsa comments knowing that she was from the Red Desert.

"The Dunewalkers mostly operate in the north if that is what you are worried about, though I have heard rumours that have been raiding the outskirts of Slapntikil near the Back Passage for slaves"Ashton says.

"oh" the wizard adds, having forgotten an element, "best to leave as soon as possible, as I believe the revelation of this item has likely seen other wizards send teams as well."

“Someone pawn me 50 Jade as an investment and give me til sunset to scrap up some funds. I’ve got an idea and yesssss it’s legal.” Pearla asks the group

"Do you still have the jade i gave you yesterday Pearla?"Itsa asks

"If you'll take some jade from an elf then I'll give you 50 jade"Lathander begrudgingly offers.

“Nevermind I totally forgot the little green one gave me some the other day I’ll be back y’all go get some suckers and legally rob them blind I’ll be at the tavern in say a few hours?”Pearla replied

"Oi," Cerfepto gets the attention of the wizard. "Ya got anythin' to pay upfront with? This is quite the trek your sendin' us on. Or will ya promise us to reward us whether it's there or not?"

“Elf he’s paying us with potentially an item you’d only have wet dreams about. Him not asking for the object itself should be more than enough!”Pearla sneered.

"Well, normally its full payment on delivery of the item, but I understand you will be incurring some costs to travel there and back." Ashton goes to a desk at the back of the ground floor and pulls out a purse. He throws it to Cerrie. "Not sure how much is there, but count that as a stipend."

"Aye, thanks." Cerrie inspects the bag's contents.

“Great now stop robbing our geriatric friend here and shut up and get some drinks in ya. I don’t wanna hear you yapping on the damn wagon.” Pearla pokes and nudges the flat elf out the door with her staff.

"Oi, I was gonna leave on me own..." Cerfepto dashes out.

Lathander gives a wave to the wizard as he follows the party out.

The dwarf gives her one last staff spank before she heads off to go get some drip.

The party then leave the slums in order to pursue different interests in the main city sector.

Despite having travelled through the walls now many times, Dragonkin city of Wannsuqatitti was sight to behold. Second only in grandeur and scale to the capital of the River Cities - Zirramardak, the smooth palm tree lined grid of roads perfectly framed towering buildings and structures of sandstone and wood. The Bazaar hosted all manner of high end goods and services, their clientelle spending more on the right outfit for the next gala than an entire years worth of earnings by anyone else in the wilds of Mundain.

Lathander, Cerfepto and Pearla trek to the Grand Bazaar while Itsa wonders around a nearby fountain trying to find a way to the church of Saphrodite. Ellio it would seem already made his way to the church of T'hot. On the outside of the wide circular city centre (some 200m in diameter) there are lines of permanent shops, complementing the temporary stalls ringed around most of the centre fountain. THe fountain itself dates back to the Age of Empires and is a large dragonkin warror holding up his sword into the air as what looks like humans and elves and beneath his feet pour water out of stone vases into the fountain pool below. Its a not so subtle hint at the historical (and present) racial supreriorty of the dragonkin.

Looking around the trio are able to find the clothing store called Reginald Esquire's Haberdashery and boutique. In the store, you see an older human male, very dapper with slicked back grey and silver white hair, ringed spectacles and a tailored set of fine gowns. Also in the store is another worker, slight resemblance to the older gent, a young human woman, fair skin, flowing brown hair wearing a more revealing but still elegant gown, with a short skirt coming to mid thigh.

Lathander himself gives a sort of eye roll at the statue..if they were so superior why did they always have to have such big dumb statues. He then gave a shrug and entered the store looking at the wares hoping something catches his eyes.

"So, what is this 'fashion update' you were thinkin', Lath?"Cerrie asks turning to her potential lover.

"Well I was thinking something to show off the midriif..you seem to stare at my abs when I fight.. Im just giving you a better view darling."Lathander says.

Cerfepto snorts in amusement. "What abs?" She smacks his taut tum with the back of her hand.

"I do have abs jeez..look they maybe not as pronounced as yours thats only because Im not built like a brick shit house like you love"Lathander replies scratching his head while looking at the floor.

"Ah welcome to my boutique! I am Reginald Esquire, fashion icon and stylist for the stars of the Wannasuqatitti elite!" The shop owner says.

"Still, 'f anythin', I like my boytoys all soft an' cute." Cerrie walks her fingers across his pecs. "All~ the~ more~ fun~ to~ play~ with~."

"I must admit, we rarely have those that live outside of the walls grace our boutique, but I will do my best to accommodate any clothing needs you may have. Do you find yourself attending an event of some note?"Reginald scoffs not believing this drivel is worth his time.

“Nope just looking to be the prettiest lass at any event and heard that this city had boutiques to die for.” Pearla comments striking a pose that causes her jade to rattle.

Lathander's eyebrow would raise as he was push past. Seeing that he was ignored he quite quickly lost the excitement he initially had for the place. "Meh the place doesn't have what I'm looking for any how..its clear these humans know nothing on elvish fashion anyway."

"You look best in nothin' anyway." Cerfepto pats Lathander's head.

“Stick a dick in it you knife eared cannibal!” Pearla flips him the bird before turning back to Reginald. “Sorry about that I can’t stand them. Anyways where was I…oh yeah I was hoping to purchase a new outfit both fashionable and functional for dungeon exploration.”

"Fucking..." The elf would silently storm off this was the last straw he was gonna get back at Pearla. Enough was enough.

Trying his best to ignore the uncooth rowdiness of the group, Reginald turns back to Pearla. "Of course, happy to be of assistance." he then paused, "though i will have to ask to rest of your part to leave if they are not purchasing anything today."

"Hm..." With a concerned pout as Lathander marches away, Cerfepto glances around. "I might acquire somethin', let me peruse your wares..."

“Cerfepto maybe you could bless him with your Jade when we return.” Pearla chuckles

Reginald pauses momentarily before flick a finger over to his voluptuous young store assistant who goes over to Cerrie.

Pearla ends up with some high end silken clothing, nothing to fight monsters in but hella good for diplomacy cases. She also ended up with some nice elegant perfume.

Cerrie meanwhile gets something private as she has them store it in a little gift box.

The shopkeeper is somewhat surprised that this group of ruffians actually made a purchase. But he always had an eye for potential jade, even if it came in more unusual forms.

Pearla pays changes and buys three different scents changing into them. As she leaves the dressing room she’s give a bit of a spin a certain appendage twirls alongside her as she thanks the man asking if there’s any other service he or the other lady would like to have.

Somewhat embarrassed by the offer, Reginald shakes his head. The assistant is upstairs and from this angle, Perla notices that she too has a similar swinging appendage beneath her gown.

“Is your assistant available to help tie a few pieces of my outift?” Perla can damn well lace up any and all parts by herself, but Reginald should know what she truly means. “Unless you’d prefer we keep this strictly business until after hours? I can wait.”

"That is my daughter," Reginald says coyly, "And she is currently grounded on account of her mother catching her in a daliance with a acoylte of T'Hot just this week. She is not available to you or anyone atm. Now as much as I appreciate your business, and particularly your patronage, we are closing now."

“Shame she’s quite the beauty. Fair well Reginald I’m sure we’ll do business again sometime!” With that Pearla makes her way to the city bathhouses confident they’d be able to arrange for transport come sunrise.

He smiles and ushers you out. He seems genuinely comfortable with your enquiries, viewing Perla particularly with deference. But he is clearly still recovering from his daughters recent escapades so the enquiry struck home for sure. Perla leaves.

Pearla goes to the bathhouse to wash up before bed that evening completely forgetting the fact of gambling in the bar.

Lathander absolutely steaming away form the party.

After Cerfepto makes her own purches, she catches up to Lathander. She opens with a gently concerned tone. "Yo, Lath, you cool off any yet?"

The smaller elf punches a tree and gives a sigh "No I swear that Pearla is just a bitch to be a bitch...not once have I done anything to her and she acts like I pissed on her mother and shat in her beer."

"Hey, look, you're better than this, babe." Cerfepto kisses her cheek. "If you can forgive that green runt, you can overlook that wench."

"No Cerrie..this is doing the right thing..then there is looking for trouble" Lathander gives a spit on the ground and crosses his arms as he plots. His brain turning an idea in his head.

"If you ask me, I think she's just jealous we're not hags wider than we're tall." Cerfepto sits opposite him on the ground, setting down her satchel next to her."Well, you got an idea for how to change her mind or somethin'?"

"Maybe but I have to do this by myself..thanks for the talk love" Lathander gives her a peck on the cheek as he stands up and stretches. "Lets focus on the upcoming journey though."

"You know, I have got a certain something..." She holds up the bag. "I wanted to treat you after those staff ignored you, so I got you something from the boutique."

"YOu got me something Cerrie?' His eyes widen in surprise before looking excited.

She sets the fancy silk satchel down on the grass I did. "Course I did. That wizard gave us quite the upfront." She smiles at him.

"Oh Cerrie you didnt have to love..thank you so much" He excitedly clung nto her and gave her a kiss as he held the satchel.

She tousles his hair with a chuckle. "Ya gonna open it now or save it for later?"

"Im gonna save it for later~" HE then nibbles her ear and smiles "So can wear it in front of you first~"

She returns the hug around him. "Sounds good to me."

They eventually make their way back to the Leaky Tit Tavern and enjoy a sensual evening together before tomorrows trip.

---

Itsa eventually finds her way to the Temple of Saphrodite. The Temple of Saphrodite is old but remains splendid. Dedicated to female love and affection, the pillars holding up the roof of the main temple are statues of women, their bodies intertwined with one another in loving and sexual embrace. The visage of Saphrodite is in the center of the back wall of the temple, a rising statue of a naked dragonkin woman with female gobbos, humans, elves and other creatures worshiping her from the base of the statue. There are pray mats for kneeling and incense burning near braziers on either side. the temple is filled with attendants, acolytes and priests.

Itsa also notices what looks like a Paladin of Saphrodite, a elvish woman in full armor, breasts exposed except for small band of fabric running across her breasts over her nipples in the most ineffective form of modesty ever. She has several attendants with her, all female of different races.

Itsa approaches the paladin and bows befor saying that she is going to pray for her groups safe journey as well as gobblers safety.

The elvish woman, having just completed a conversation with a priest turns and then looks down. Her face is serene, a calm fortitude only possible for one that can commune so closely with the goddess.

The rune on Itsas hand glows in the presence of the devote. She also sees a similar ruin and the paladins cheek, but it is glowing vibrantly now that Itsa can barely hold it in her sights

Itsa covers her eyes before both marks dim and she goes to pray at the statue clearly noting the other woman too was blessed by her goddess.

In fact Itsa notices that many of the acolytes and priests have the mark, though it is different for everyone. Being a devotee to Saphrodite is something of a calling, and those who follow her and spread love to their fellow woman, do so openly through the mark.

Itsa is finish up her prays when she is approached by a Priestess of the order.

"Hello their devotee, blessed be to you." the priestess could be distinguished from the acolytes and attendants by her more elaborate white and purple robes. They hung off her shoulders like a gown and flowed to the floor. it had a hood which she peeled back to reveal her tightly braided dark hair. her skin was dark and her features beautiful. The robe hung open at the front revealing her naked body beneath, her large breasts and nipples partly covered by the robe.

Itsa bows before the lady blushing as she appreciates the beauty in front of her.

The priestess notices the mark on Itsa's hand. "Your devotion glows brightly from within you child. Are you a devotee of a Saphrodite temple somewhere in the lands? I have not been fortunate before to see you here in attendance of our services."

"No miss Itsa got this mark when first awakened her mind and thirst with the knight Elanil" Itsa replies

"Ah, and is Elanil a paladin and knight of Saphrodite?"the priestess asks.

" Itsa does not know though I did get these ears up hear after threesume with bar maid in Minge" as she shows off pink bunny ears that have connection to Sapphrodite.

"Then it seems she has begun you induction into the order as an acolyte, would you like to continue this induction and become an acolyte of the order." as she says this she slightly peels back her robe to fully reveal her body, her large breasts swaying ever slighly from the motion and her brown nipples hard and standing to attention. "We may retire to my private pray room to continue your induction if you wish"

"Itsa would most like that though she eventually wishes to be a pal din to goddess" Itsa says as her drool forms from her unquenchable thirst to pussy

"And this is your first step on that journey. The path to paladin and to communing with the goddess is through devotion as an acolyte of the order. Come and we will join out bodies together so that we may become closer to the goddess." and with that Itsa is escorted by the woman away from the main temple area.

Itsa was being led to a back room by the priestess.

"So how this work"Itsa asks the priestess

The Priestess leads Itsa into the back room. It a warmly albeit lowly lit room with cushions, pillows and blankets on the group."This is where we come together to commune with the goddess. As an acolyte in training, your role is to serve the Palladins and priests with your mouth and body so that we may reach to the heavens through our orgasms."

" Huh" Itsa looked around "okay"

The elf removed her robe, allowing it to fall to the floor. he body was incredible, with amazing curves. She smiled down at Itsa serenely. "Now lick and eat my pussy so that i may advocate for your acceptance from our goddess."

Itsa could not speak words as her hunger was insatiable as she lunged forward and started licking.The mark on her hand grew brighter as she dined on her favorite type elven.

The priestess cradled Itsas head as she stood before the gobbo, one leg lifted and parted slightly to allow Itsa ready access to her sweet pussy.

"Thank You Saphrodite" Itsa said as she dined on her favorite treat it's flavor coating her tastebuds. She pushed the priestess onto the bed and went to town slurping and sucking all the while her tongue danced amongst the folds showing a familiarity to the pussy before her.

The priestess moans loudly at the attention, reaching up the knead her large tits and pinch and twist on her erect nipples "I see you are familiar in the ways of womanhood," she moaned.

"How mmm...... am I mm.... doin" Itsa Moaned into the priestess as she continued her **** on the love tunnel before her ready to claim the gushing treasure it holds.

The moans of the priestess built quickly as Itsa tongue and mouth worked frantically on her pussy. The door of the room, left open intentionally by the priestess, attracting attention of others.

Itsa felt so happy that she was able to illicit such moans from the priestess that she doubled her hefforts to make this beautiful woman sing praise to saphrodite herself.

Itsa didnt notice that the priestess summoned in several more people, attendants who quickly disrobed as she did. still moaning from the pleasure from the new gobbo, another woman, an attendant came in a sat on the priestesses face, her own pussy suddenly the focus of an eager tongue and mouth. At the same time Itsa felt hands on her own ass and fingers beging to probe her holes. soon, before really have a chance to react, two sets of two fingers slid easily into Itsa's ass and pussy, the second attendant diligently and methodically working her holes and inflicting upon her incredible pleasure.

"Mmmfff" Itsa moaned into the priestesses pussy causing major vibrations before she decided she wanted desert now and started sucking directly on the clitoral hood before sucking on the pearl itself.

Itsa felt the attention of her soon to be sisters as her own pleasure seemed to guide her tongue into a frenzy of thrashing and wiggling inside the vaginal opening.

The priestesses first orgasms built, as the stimulation and sensation grew too much and soon, Itsa could feel the voluptuous woman's body buck and her tits bounce as waves of spasming pleased rolled through her. For generations the priestess of Saphrodite knew that the moment of orgasm was the best time for one to reach out their consciousness and commune with the goddess and Itsa felt proud at being able to enable such divine connection. As she sucked and licked on the priestesses opening, her own body's stimulation grew from the fingers and now tongues that filled her holes and soon, she could feel her own orgasm shake her comparatively small body. she bucked at the pleasure but did not lose connection between her tongue and the priestesses cunt, ensuring her orgasm was prolonged as that she may vouch for Itsa in her prays to the goddess.

"Who is next" Itsa said fueled by an unknown energy of lust.

By this time, the activites of Itsa and the priestess had triggered something of a post religious service orgy among the acoloytes, attendants and priests of the temple. In the group, between the quivering and spasming female bodies of the orgy, Itsa caught sight of the paladin from earlier, her eyes locked on Itsa, moving towards her in response to her request. the Paladin woman, elvish and tall and with a strong muscular physique that bellied her elvish heritage. She passed over naked women of all races, pleasuring themselves and each other and in one swoop lifted up Itsa from the priestess on the floor and lifted her comparative small gobbo body up to her head.

"Hello there pretty lady"Itsa said.

"Let me enjoy what Sapphrodite gave you acolyte," she declared. And before receiving permission, she leaned down and started sucking on Itsa's nipples, before kissing her and lifting her further up to eat her pussy. and there Itsa was held, her body aloft, her pussy willingly invaded by the elvish paladin.

"What Sap.... Saphrodite ga...gave me is no...t down there It.... It's up here" Itsa said enjoying the ministrations of the paladin pointing to her mouth where the paladin could see her.

The palladin stops for a moment. "Those that give so selflessly are also those who most deserve selflessness back in return." And the palladin returned to her efforts for several more minutes, causing itsa to cum hard again in her arms.The palladin smiled.

"I woul..... wouldn't say self.......less"Itsa panted catching her breath "Itsa en....joys pu..ssy cream c..oating her thr..oat and fil..ling her belly".

"Now you may return to your service," and the palladin lowered Itsa to floor in front of her, her strong legs spreading apart to almost mount Itsas head. The palladins pussy is wet and eagerly welcomes Itsas mouth and tongue.

Itsa quickly recovered seeing this precious fountain before her as she she drank from its wellspring causing the paladin to cross her legs behind Itsa's head. It wasn't long before the paladin was screaming her own praises to the heavens. Itsa then went from alcolyte to paladin over and over the rest of the night finding herself in varios positions with sometimes being under a dress, a standing 69 with a fellow gobbo, facesat by a dragonkin while a satyr scissored her. But the big finale after twenty or so women was a red haired woman who must have been blessed by her giant heritage cause when feeding Itsa her pussy it came as a flood causing the little gobbo's gut to swell up and fill outas though it was a femcumflation.

Itsa wanted to keep going but her body gave out as the spirit was willing but the body was shiny and tired as she let out one burp of pussy juice before crashing.
