The Restless Dead

"The only thing I can tell you about the Tomb of the Restless is that the inhabitants are all dead, these two women in front of us are undead, the insides of their bodies are also hollowed out, how they move, talk, etc... is unclear, but it also makes them very hard to kill or fight," Hess announces and the two women nod along with her explanation.

"The Fangs showed up and asked to be let in, our Queen agreed to let them in and let them stay in some of our many chambers. As to why, why not? We are a very welcoming people," the first mummy says.

"Yeah besides it was clear they were not on good terms with you guys, so there was a high chance there'd be some fighting," the second adds. The first begins to grind against her polearm, wiggling her butt back and forth.

"every **** and every drop of blood in our tomb empowers us. The rush of vitality, of essence lost is like the most potent aphrodisiac," she explains, licking her lips.

"Bleed and die for us or cut and kill others for us," the second says excitedly.

"We can't bleed or die ourselves after all," the first says and the second nods and then tilts her head back as she stretches out an arm and then plunges it through her chest, stabbing her arm deep into her chest and then pulls it back out, leaving a gaping hole in her chest. Like Hess said there's nothing inside. She's hollow and clearly unharmed from the stab.

"If you people want blood and **** so much, why are you so... friendly?" Lri asks, confused.

"It's simple, the blood and lives must be shed in our tomb and if people fear us or are afraid we'll attack them they won't come to the tomb. Sure we could kidnap people and just slaughter them in the tomb, but that's a lot more work then just letting people come by themselves. We are nothing if not friendly and accommodating. You have nothing to fear from us while inside the tomb," the first assures them.

"So, how many Fangs are there?" Hess asks.

"There are about twelve of them we see often, potentially more, as we said they use a different entrance and we don't much care what they do," the second answers.

Maple and Yulia set to work on making potions out of water as the others speak with the guards, by the end they have created 12 health potions, 12 mana potions, 12 cure alls. "the mana infused aspect of the water seems to have been transferred to the potions, so... be wary of that," Maple informs Yulia as Yulia divides up the potions.

"Please enjoy your time here," the guards say in unison as they step aside and the group hesitantly enters the tomb.

The first area past the entrance is a large chamber. In the center of the chamber is a big map sitting below a banner saying "welcome," in multiple languages, most of which Yulia and the voices can't read, though Isalia, Lri, Goma and Lemiel assure Yulia that at least most of them are merely languages from other parts of the tower, such as Goblinese, Elvish, Calumian and Angelic and Demonic, apparently the Restless do intend to be welcoming to any and all possible visitors.

The map displays the tomb internally, it's a multiple layered structure and looking at it it's clear that it's far too big for all of it to actually be available on this floor. It's clear some of the Tomb will be inaccessible through Tower Shenanigans. The longer Yulia looks at the map the more it seems to change until it shows something much more simplified.

They are currently in the Antechamber, to the left is the Hall of Heroes which then leads to an area called the Long Sleep, to the right is the Hall of Shadows which then leads to the Ritual Chamber and dead ahead is the Descent which leads to... a coffee house, a gift shop and the throne room. In the chamber there are a number of mummy men and women, all of them are relatively well endowed, males in the cock department, women in the breasts and hips department, perfect human specimens in many ways, though of varying body types and levels of fitness. Yulia watches them mingling for a bit and then nods.

"They're augmenting themselves. I can spot surgical scars, well hidden ones, but still there. I suppose if your body is literally just a vessel there's no reason not to change it to better suit your desires," she notes and a chubby, shortstack woman overhears and pumps a fist in agreement.

"Hell yeah, sis!" she agrees excitedly.

Yulia looks a little uncomfortable at this praise and turns her attention back to the map.

"The fangs are supposed to be in the ritual room which is to the right of this chamber," she starts before being interrupted by an insistent voice nearby. A muscular male mummy has suddenly put an arm around Goma's shoulders much to Goma's surprise and discomfort.

"Heya cutie. Wanna have some fun with me?" he asks her, his hand slipping from her shoulder to gently grab a handful of her breast making her gasp. Isalia quickly takes a step forward, but Lri intercepts.

"We don't want to cause an incident," Lri hisses and Isalia hesitates, but growls.

"He's harassing Goma, I won't cause an incident," she responds and pushes past Lri and gently but firmly, grabs the man's hand and pulls it away from Goma, "Excuse me, sir..." she says as he pulls his hand back from her grip and then she suddenly grabs and picks up Goma, hugging her tightly against her body as she carries her away from him.

The man watches Isalia move away, carrying Goma snuggled in her arms and mutters.

"She could have just said no..."

A bit away Isalia puts Goma down, "you okay?" she asks.

"Goma fine," Goma responds and kisses Isalia who kisses her back.

"Awww!" a couple of the watching mummies fawn upon watching the two of them kiss, both immediately becoming a bit self-conscious.

"Ah I see..." the man who had bothered Goma earlier says and then immediately turns on Lri, "So how would you like-" he starts and Lri quickly raises a hand dismissively and he shrugs and wanders off.

"They're very... outgoing... Forthcoming even," Yulia notes and a quick glance around does show that some of the mummies are just openly groping or even fucking in the antechamber.
