Get a Detailed Explanation from the Succubus

The guild figured that even though they had options on what they wanted to do, with the succubus's revelations about the ruling family in Deirdre, it wouldn't do them much good unless they could get the captured women that they were able to rescue--including Janissa--back to the safety of Clampit's Vale. Orianna was the first to hop off, and it wasn't long before the Wood Elf was running into the arms of her fellow archaeologists, hugging them as tears ran down her cheeks. Other women sought the safety of their family, or the archaeologists guild. For Janissa, the High Elf remained pretty quiet, with tears running down her face. Not only did she had to endure the sexual **** at the hands of the Orcs and Dark Elves, but they had also taken her Elven weapons, including her longbow, which had stayed with her for over 50 years.

Lady Bayannon was shocked to not only see Janissa's state of mind, but also the sight of the succubus. The guild settled inside her home, with Deraxle, already back in humanoid form, finding a comfortable place on a chaise lounger to relax and rejuvenate. The others--except for the succubus--took a relatively quick bath, and donned some fresh clothing. The succubus herself, free of those magical confines, used her own magic to conjure a fresh set of black leathers with a mix of lace and silk, and put them on. Later on, they all gathered in Lady Bayannon's study, where they began their discussion.

"I know my presence may come at an inopportune time with a human kingdom now in greater danger," the succubus told the guild and Lady Bayannon, "but I know as a politically neutral guild, you would want to hear all sides of the story. First of all, an introduction. I'm Valnora, I'm a rather young succubus from the Demon Realms of the Underworlds, but I have existed--at least in this particular corporeal state--for 200 years. I was just a small demoness when I saw Lord Jarlaxle forge the blood pact with the ruling family of the human kingdom of Deirdre. You see, the king's ancestors were once lesser lords of another human kingdom that now long gone. Their lust for more power grew with time, but they were unable to do it conventionally. So the king's great grandfather sought the help of my kind. In exchange for knowledge that would allow them to elevate their status, each generation would have to offer at least the blood of one of their family members. For a time, they did as the pact has dictated, but this particular king has refused to do it, fearing he would lose his only son. Time and time again, my kind has pleaded with him to do it, but he has refused. So Lord Jarlaxle decided to share the knowledge of the ancient ruins with Matron Mother Indira, and Warchief Benzera. No better punishment in the eyes of my lord, than to have his lands conquered."

"Does the ruling family of Deirdre have any living proof of that pact?" Cesar looked to Valnora. "If we're to bring this up to the family, then we need solid evidence to convince them."

"The family heirloom, in the form of an amulet." Valnora looked to Cesar. "You may've seen the king wear it when you were in the city. It's the gold necklace, with the family crest emblazoned in an amulet, and three rubies lined vertically."

"How do you suggest we bring this to the king?" Janissa looked to Valnora, her eyes still filled with the effects of of being sexually tortured by the Orcs and Dark Elves.

"Try, as you may, but I'm afraid it is too late for words." Valnora responded calmly. "Matron Mother Indira has more than enough blood from the remaining captured human women, to amplify the geomancer magic. Combined with help from Lord Jarlaxle, it is only a matter of time before she is able to sink Deirdre, and replace it with Pythorias." She turned to Lady Bayannon. "As for you, Lady Bayannon, I know you are essentially a lesser noble here in Deirdre, but soon, you will no longer have any land to rule over, when the Orcs seize your land, with the Dark Elves help. I would start gathering your belongings, and go with the guild to their home. The archaeologists should also consider evacuating these lands, as well."

"Do you think we can at least grab the royal treasure from the ruling family of Deirdre, before their city sinks?"Cat looked to Valnora, his eyes having a difficult time looking at her 38ee bosom, and pierced nipples peeking through her leather corset.

"If you decide to evacuate some of the other humans of Deirdre, and not the the ruling family, then Lord Jarlaxle and I would allow that. You and the guild have toiled enough here to at least earn some compensation." Valnora grinned a bit, seeing the half-elf's eyes on her big bosom, then she looked to the rest of the guild. "You'll have time to rest and heal, but at the first crack of dawn, you must act. In all likelihood, Matron Mother Indira will sink the land by nightfall tomorrow. What you do with tomorrow, though, is all up to you."

"And what will you do afterwards, Valnora?" Deraxle looked to the succubus.

"Normally, I would return to the Demon Realm," Valnora responded, "but I enjoy staying up here on the surface. As a succubus, I can take any form that fits the situation on hand. I'm also skilled in both magic, and swordplay, with an emphasis on the dark and fiery arts, of course. If you so desire, I can at least provide my services, when you wish it, if you do not have room in your...small adventuring guild."

"It's alot to decide on, but that will have to wait until the time comes." Cesar looked to Janissa, then back to Valnora. "I want Janissa to have her head straightened out after the trauma from being sexually assaulted. Get some rest. We will set forth for Deirdre in the morning, as soon as Lady Bayannon and the archaeologists are at least evacuated."

With that, the guild dispersed for the night, and Lady Bayannon started to get her servants to start packing her valuables and other important things.
