[QUOTE="The Rolling Man, post: 4653728, member: 24451"] [b]The 'succubus'[/b] Voadam doesn't see anything really fiendish with the hostess. It really appears to be a simple masquerade. As he puts his arm around her waist, the tall bouncer takes a step toward them but he stops when the 'succubus' holds out an hand and slightly shakes her head. [COLOR="Red"]"I'm here to help kind sir."[/COLOR] She tells Voadam with a smile. [COLOR="Red"]"Ah, the devil's mark ... Intriging, is it ? You see, it depends. If you just lose but don't cause any trouble, you get mine."[/COLOR] At that, she blushes a little and kisses Voadam softly on the cheek, leaving a bit of lip rouge. She then pulls back. [COLOR="Red"]"But if you cause any trouble in here, you get his Mark."[/COLOR] She says, pointing to the tall bouncer who simply grins and cracks his knuckles. [COLOR="Red"]"And you're right, I'm not Old Scratch. I go by the name of Lixy. No, Old Scratch is the devil you must rob tonight and he's already here."[/COLOR] She points to the middle of the gambling hall where Voadam can see that a bird cage containing a little devil is hanging from the ceiling. Voadam has seen such creature before and knows them well. It's an imp, the little devils from hell that often act as spies, councilors or trickters. An imp is resistant to normal weapons, only blessed or silvery weapons can hurt it fully.
