Up to Floor 3

As fun as it would be to chase some tail, you have a job to do. You have to leave this accursed place and hopefully find your way out. You crack your fingers and stretch your arms before gripping the rope, and you begin to pull yourself up toward the hole in the roof. Hoisting yourself up towards the ceiling, the darkness above you looms ominously. You aren't sure exactly what you're getting yourself into, but you have to steel yourself and face what's to come. Your hands grip the rope tightly, and you slowly pull yourself up through a hole in the ceiling.

The narrow hole is barely wide enough to climb through, and your shoulders scrape against the sides as you dangle from the rope. The wooden construction gives way to rough-hewn stone. It is not the same kind of stone from the first floor, but it is less processed and more natural. finally, you see the area around you open up, and you shuffle out of the hole. Looking up, you see many stalactites hanging from the ceiling and one quite long one is what the rope was tied to. You clutch at the hole's edges and heave yourself out of it. Standing, you find yourself in a vast cavern. It is a humid environment with water running down along the cavern's sides. the same luminescent fungus lines the walls periodically and reflects off of the smooth stone surfaces of the cave.

Nearby, Leaning against a rock formation, the succubus Circe watches you catch your breath from the climb; she gives an amused chuckle, "Well, well, That didn't go quite as expected. Honestly, I didn't think you would choose the easy way out of that floor."

You grimace at the fiend, "I'm trying to find a way out. If the path up will reveal itself so simply, then why not take it?"

She shrugs, her large blue breasts wobbling from the movements, "Don't think that every floor is going to be so easy, nor that everyone you encounter will be so amiable. Regardless, you've left the superstructure and entered the Tower Proper. Welcome to the Tower of Lust." Circe's grin widens as her body slowly fades away until only her grin and glowing eyes are present. Then they, too, disappeared.

You sigh at the spot where the demon once rested and look around. Despite the cave's grandiose appearance, there were only two ways to go. To the left, a path curled into the darkness, turning around a large rock pillar and disappearing. The other path looked much more promising. More light and what looked like torchlight in the farther distance, along with footsteps in the skiff of mud on the rocky surface, tells you that from that direction was likely the way the huntresses below came from. Still, you had a choice.
