Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 22665" data-attributes="member: 114">“Hello, who is it? Has Radeem sent you to free me? It is sooo long since I had someone to talk to!”Azrin engages her in conversation, providing a translation for the others - She is Thurra, apparently Radeems lover who has been imprisoned here by the “protective measures” which Radeem took “for her benefit”. She can’t believe that Radeem has been dead for centuries, and her querulous voice keeps coming back to the theme of Radeem and his love for her. And will they come and set her free. Please?After much discussion, the party decide that they will take the risk of breaking the circle. They still don’t know whether it was focussed inwards or outwards, but now is the time to find out!They brush some of the sand away, and then make their way around the circular corridor. Round the other side of the circle they find a couple of steps up to an archway, and beyond is a room decked out in marble and fur, with a large four poster bed, a blazing fire, a marble bath and some tables and low chairs. A fair haired woman sits on the bed, apparently packing a few things together,“Thank you, thank you!” Thurra  cries, turning round towards them. The long fair hair falls back from her forehead, revealing two small white horns...Lysander is getting a faint prickling sensation of evil at the back of his neck, but is at a loss about what to do here - this woman doesn’t appear to be a threat, is clearly not as evil as the fiends which they have recently encountered... he waits to see what transpires.Continuing to talk with Azrin, she wonders if there is anything she can give as a reward for freeing her so that she can go and find her beloved Radeem. He can’t think of anything, unless there is perhaps some knowledge that she can pass on. She looks at him shyly and explains that she knows 438 techniques for making love, and she would be happy to share some of the practical experience with him. Oo-er.Crail and the others shake their heads, not knowing what to make of the situation, yet Azrin is extremely tempted. They ask her if she is a succubus, or if she is hungry (“no, she says. I’m not”) and ask Azrin if he knows what happens to people who get seduced by succubi... In the end, Azrin decides that it is an opportunity that he is never like to have again, and agrees. The others wait just outside the room, waiting to rush up to the four-poster’s curtains if they hear any screams of terror.Some time later, the exhausted but pleased Azrin opens the curtains on the bed. It has been a mind-blowing experience for him. Thurra lovingly strokes his hair, and purrs “Thanks for helping me, Azrin - I really appreciate it. Don’t forget me, and be nice to your son when you meet him” Then disappears in a puff of acrid smoke.</blockquote>
