[P] Cursed and Fertile

Kalina awakens slowly, her vision blurry, her head thumping in pain, as well as with a not entirely unpleasant yet still incredibly intrusive tingle from below, just above her groin. Slowly coming to, the lighting situation is dim, with the faintest green hue present in the air within the walls of this cabin. Her sense of smell is slightly aroused by the smell of a welcoming stew, sprinkled with the slightest spice, comes to her attention.

"Ah dearie, you're awake I see!" the familiar voice of the old woman can be heard, before her footsteps on the wooden cabin floor as she enters the room with the bed that Kalina is upon. "You're going to have to be sure to eat for two out in this neck of the woods, so you need your strength!" she excitedly proclaims, cackling slightly as she places the cup with the serving of the stew down on a bedside table. It's at this point Kalina is aware she is no longer naked - the outfit that the old woman had been preparing having been assembled - except it does not look knitted on at all. Instead, Kalina is wearing a series of leather bracelets and clothes barely covering her modesty more fit for a belly dancer, with the top expertly embroidered with a gem flashing with a pinkish-lavender hue situated over her cleavage.

"See, petal? You look absolutely gorgeous!" the woman remarks, cackling unsettlingly as she stands before Kalina in her true form as a Green Hag.

Kalina is also currently wearing, 'Auntie's Modesty,' which gives an Armour value of 1. It is unknown what other properties this outfit provides. Kalina's eyesight is currently very blurry, meaning she currently has a -2 penalty on CAUTION checks.

"Agh, what the hell did you do to me!" Kalina says, as she grasps her head.

"Oh dear, take it slowly, you're under the weather a bit!" the hag states, "I just fulfilled on your promise, I made you your outfit, isn't it wonderful? I figured, I helped you get something you needed, so I've set you up to help me you see! Why don't you drink up a little?" the hag cackles. "I just gave your eye a fancy little kiss for good luck! I need to make sure I watch out for my niece and her little darlings when she gives birth, so it will help protect you, you see!"

"Niece? Listen lady, I have no plan on giving birth anytime soon, I'm getting out of here." Kalina gets up and attempts to leave.

As Kalina stands up, she notices a strange glow emerging from where the slightly pleasurable sensation just above her groin is. A strange glowing pink tattoo resides there, almost in a heart shape with ornate runes and flaring lines emerging from it. "Sweety, you don't seem to understand in this place, you don't have a choice. Especially with a body like your own," the hag remarks. "You WILL conceive here, and you will not leave here. That's how this forest works. It's a prison - a trap. You will struggle with futility against this, but you will get knocked up by the denizens residing here like the little tramp you are. That's how it works. But I helped you have just a little bit of modesty to protect you, so it's only fair that you repay the favour."

Kalina at this moment sees The Hag chuckle and feels the dull ache in her eye turn into a sharp shooting pain for a moment, and notices in the bedroom mirror that her left eye seems clouded and faded over compared to the other. The hag then holds up a spectral floating orb in the shape of her own eye.

"What the fuck did you do to me? Get this thing off my groin!" Kalina rubs at it futilely while staring in anger at the hag.

As Kalina rubs upon it it lights up and flashes bright pink and suddenly Kalina seizes up and convulses, dropping over to the ground as she is wracked and overwhelmed with orgasmic pleasure.

Kalina's ENERGY takes 1 point of damage.

"Deary, don't worry, it is simply my investment upon you. It'll help you somewhat ensure you are capable of payment when the time is right. Auntie Betty should deserve just a little bit of thanks, don't you think?" the Hag replies, smirking.

"Fuck you! I'll get out of here, you'll see! Won't even get pregnant!" Kalina breaks into a sprint and attempts to leave the hag's home.

As Kalina leaves, the Hag bellows, "I will be watching out for you, don't worry, dear Kalina. You'll see soon enough and then you will learn your manners and apologize for making me out to be a lying old woman!"

Kalina successfully rushes out the door of The Hag's cabin, as the door slams shut behind her.

Kalina has been cursed by Auntie Betty and gains the following conditions:

Auntie Betty's Surrogate: Whenever Kalina is impregnated, she will conceive twice the number of offspring as per normal. Giving birth causes her to age biologically by one year for each offspring born into the world. This curse will remain until it is magically lifted or Auntie Betty dies or otherwise removes the curse.

Auntie Betty's Insurance: One of Kalina's eyes has been magically cursed by Auntie Betty. Auntie Betty can potentially scry through Kalina's eyes at random, and Kalina's caution rolls relying on eyesight will be reduced by 2 until the curse is magically lifted or Auntie Betty dies or otherwise removes the curse.

Auntie Betty's Gift: Kalina has been cursed with increased fertility. She is more likely to become pregnant when vaginally inseminated by a creature, and has increased vaginal sensitivity. Attempting to remove the curse improperly causes a sudden orgasm and reduces Kalina's energy by 1. This curse remains until it is magically lifted or Auntie Betty dies or otherwise removes the curse.

As Kalina leaves the home of this hag, her mind is immediately set to the task of finding some help to teach this hag a lesson, traveling deeper into the forest.

Traveling through the forest, she finds:

Boots of Elvenkind: This elven manufactured pair of leather boots when worn gives you a +1 to caution checks when attempting to stealthily evade threats. It also prevents you leaving footprints or traces of your passage upon the ground, making it harder to be tracked.

As Kalina is searching through the forest, she hears a series of very light footsteps and frustrated mumbles and grunts between some foliage up ahead. Being cautious, she attempts to approach stealthily. Kalina's new boots of elvenkind are doing wonders at helping her navigate the dense foliage and undergrowth. Unfortunately through all her careful movement watching her steps she doesn't see a low branch that brushes against her face, causing a slight rustling and crunching sound. "Huh, awuh-?" the voice pipes up, as Kalina looks up, brushing the leaves out of her hair and sees a goblin wielding some sort of small knife glancing directly at her. "Well well well well, hehehehe, lookey what we got here eh?" it slyly remarks, a few flecks of light shining upon the stone knife. "At least it's a lucky day for one of us!" he continues, as he begins approaching her.

"Oh, hey hello." Kalina seductively brushes her hair back as she looks at the goblin. "I didn't mean to sneak up on you, I was just looking for someone who could help me with something."

"Heh, heheheh... You can help me indeed. Get on those knees and hand over what ya got on and we can make this one easy on ya!" the Goblin barks, doing slight mock threatening lunges forwards with the knife.

"But honey, you haven't even heard me out yet. You see, there's this mean old hag who cursed me." She gets on her knees and runs her hands across her body. "I've been looking for some nice, strong men to help me teach her a lesson, and I'd be quite grateful. Very grateful." She tugs at the cloth near her breasts, nearly exposing them as she attempts to use her charm to convince this goblin to help.

SOCIABILITY ROLL (Adv. due to Innate Seduction) : 1d20+3 = 15

"Ohhh eheh... I can be very strong... Very helpful... And can certainly teach somebody a lesson for the right price," the goblin answers, their eyes noticeably darting down towards Kalina's breasts and hips with a noticeable bulge beginning to form beneath their loincloth.

"Got any friends, big guy? Be more than happy to share. No tasting until the job's done though, I have to be careful till the curse is gone."

"Oh one for friends, are we? This day just gets even better. Yeah, I got some lads... Maybe a whole litter of them for ya..." he ponders, fixated on Kalina's bodies.

"Well let's go get them, and if they're as nice as you are then the job will be done by tomorrow, and you boys will get to taste as much as you'd like."

"Alright, lady... No funny business though, why don't you come with me..." the Goblin beckons.

"Of course, wouldn't dream of it." Kalina says as she begins to follow the goblin.
