[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1580847, member: 4441"] *The ritual is quick and violent, the blood and power spilling out to the Spider Queen. You feel the power swell within you as you bend your attention from one sacrifice to another. Going to your summoning room you call for Elsara, a succubs of uncommon power in the Abyss. She appears, curiously enough, in fine armor, a sword by her side, and rings of power around her fingers. For one such as herself, that is so rare as to be unheard of. She glares at you with ill-concealed annoyance as you state your case.* *She looks at what you have to offer and her eyes narrow.* "Forget the gold, everyone is gathering power, so all I need is souls. I'll take five of them, four in the gems and one of those larval fools, for the information you seek," she says with toss of her long black hair. Once you've given her the souls, she says seven words that could shatter the base of power in the Underdark yet again. "Lolth is dying in the Demonweb Pits." ~~~ *Kilcif watches as Zaphael, his Litchi, enters the room. Her body is swathed in tantalizing lengths of red silk, shot through with gold. Glints of gold show at every point of her body, feet, throat, head, fingers, arms, waist, everywhere, highlighting her deep brown skin, seemingly dusted with gold.
