Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

Laura opened her mouth as if to answer, but just then the goblin came back in through the tent flaps. He tied a proper leather gag over Azira's mouth, then went to the brunette. She left stumbling behind him on a short leash, her hands still tied behind her back, leaving Azira alone again in the tent. She drifted off to sleep.

Spoiler

Attempt 2: Get a key to the mage collar. 1+10 = 11 -> Failure

Again she got a rude awakening, though not as rude as last time. This time it was a band of metal closing around her throat. She could feel a similarly strong bond dropping between herself and her magic, an iron-hard wall that she could beat against for years without making a dent. The gag was pulled off. "Time for your punishment. Then we'll see about replacing that dark slime you killed."

He moved over to Laura, who stood back near her post. Azira couldn't help noticing a drying trail of cum leading to her pussy that hadn't been there when she left, and a bruise on one eye that suggested that not everything had gone to plan. She held still while the goblin held up a device for both women to see. It seemed to be a pair of leather panties, with a pair of large dildos attached, one on the inside and one on the outside. The one on the inside was a bit larger than the goblin's member. The one on the outside almost made Azira cringe just looking at it, more than a foot long and at least 3 fingers thick.

The goblin helped Laura put on the device, pulling a gasp of pleasure as the dildo slipped inside her, then spun her around. He undid the binding on her hands, and shifted the fabric at the back of the panties, prodding her asshole with a smirk. Then he handed the other woman a riding crop, and gestured at Azira.

The first blow landed on her left cheek, and stung but didn't hurt. "Harder! And take her pussy, I want to keep her ass nice and tight." A pair of feminine hands grabbed Azira's hips, and she felt the head to the mighty strap-on against her lower lips. The second blow was on a shoulder blade, and only slightly harder than the first. "Start, damn it, or I'll strap you to the table next, and show you how it's done!"

With an oddly aroused grunt, Laura slowly pushed the tool deep inside Azira. It was big enough to make Azira groan, but not quite enough to hurt her. Laura slid out and in again, and it took Azira only a moment to realize that this was arousing the scholar almost as much as herself. Almost. On the bright side, that seemed to distract Laura enough that the crop was barely poking the warrior, and the goblin didn't seem to care. Azira felt herself cum, but Laura's pace only quickened as she approached her own orgasm. That finally came, and Azira felt the other woman slow and finally stop, panting with effort and arousal."Keep going. Harder!"

The goblin had moved out of Azira's sight, but by the yelp Laura gave and the sudden resumption of the strap-on fucking it wasn't hard to guess where he went. Azira came a second time, helpless before the girth of the strapon, and she could hear Laura and the Goblin both grunting behind her. Her third orgasm came along with Laura's second, and then it wasn't long before it was over.

Attempt 3: 18+5 = 23 -> Success!

"Good enough. But next time I want to hear her scream, or it'll be your ass. Now where did I put that net..." He absentmindedly tied Laura back up and wandered out of the tent.

Laura spoke urgently. "I... did my best. I couldn't get a key, but I saw our stuff just outside the tent. And I think I managed to loosen your bonds..."

Azira tested her bonds. They were still tight, but it seemed like they weren't as tight as before. She struggled against them, tensing her wrists and wriggling like mad. Outside the tent she heard something being pulled along the ground. Another minute of effort, and she got one hand free. In the distance she could hear the goblin speaking. "Good slime. We'll get you fed, then it's to the trap to catch me some more lovely slaves..."

With one hand free the other came easily, then the leather collar and the strap that held her head to the table. Then her feet. She immediately fell on her ass, her legs not wanting to obey her after so long tied up. Her hands felt the metal collar, but she couldn't even find a keyhole much what get it off. With considerable effort, Azira found her feet and this time kept them. "He has the only key on him, I think, and there's nobody else nearby. Good luck."

The blue-haired warrior could hear the goblin walking back towards the tent. She only had a little time left. Probably enough to free Laura, or to get out of the tent and grab one of her weapons before the goblin reached her, but certainly not both. And with the collar around her neck and the lingering arousal of her 'punishment' from Laura distracting her, it would have been nice to have both.

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

Azira sighed as a gag was placed over her mouth and Laura was lead away, dropping off into sleep after they left. Her depression did not improve when she awoke to the clamping of the mage collar around her neck. In fact, as she saw Laura's bruise and cum trail and realized she probably didn't get the key to the collar, it plummeted.

A blank look was all Azira wore as the goblin taunted her, though it did not last long. As the goblin pulled out the unreal double-strapon thong her eyes bulged. That thing was absolutely monstrous! She groaned both inwardly and outwardly, knowing even before the little bastard handed Laura the riding crop that this was going to well and truly suck. The only solace she had then, and for the following events was the hope that Laura would manage to unbind her. Even that solace was of little comfort or distraction.

Giving a muffled grunt as the crop struck her cheek, Azira at first braced herself for the oncoming super-dildo, then realized that would make things worse and tried to relax herself. She supposed it helped, a little bit. Still, there really was no way to prepare for, or resist the oncoming dildo. As Laura, goaded on by the cruel goblin pressed it into her unprepared nethers, Azira groaned in discomfort, thankful that the dildo wasn't quite big enough to cause internal damage.

After the first few thrusts, and some mercifully light hits from the crop, Azira's body began to acclimate to the inhumanly large instrument inside her. Her cunt moistened, coating the dildo in her fluids, making its ramming motions somewhat more bearable. A few thrusts later, and Azira felt herself heating up, her body getting in the spirit of the thrusting, not just going through the motions. Now the strapon made lewd, wet noises as it pounded into her abused cunt. It wasn't long before she reached her first orgasm, her vaginal muscles contracting around the leather dick before becoming a good deal more relaxed.

In a moment of relaxation brought on by the orgasm, Azira observed that Laura, the seemingly shy and reserved scholar, seemed to be almost enjoying herself. Funny how a little slavery could bring out the worst in people. Though a different sort of worst awaited the goblin if, no, when Azira got out.

It took some time, but Laura reached orgasm with the dildo inside of her as well. When she came to a stop, panting with the physical exertion and the arousal, the goblin seemed to join in, plugging himself into Laura's backside. Through the sex-addled haze, Azira felt a pang of pity for Laura, and further vowed to avenge the disgraces suffered here. Still, this would hopefully make it easier for Laura to loosen her bindings without incuring the dimunitive goblin's wrath.

And then she tried to lose herself as much as possible in the pleasure of what was going on. Anything to deal with the depression such a situation could bring on. She moaned lewdly, or at least tried to. The gag muffled her expressions of lust. The dildo was still plunging her depths, lewdly making loud squelching noises as Laura hilted the thing in her, helped on by amount of cum produced by Azira's pussy. Compared to earlier, the dildo was sliding in with very little resistance, the smooth leather well-oiled with Azira's own natural lubricant.

Panting through her gag, Azira looked up at Laura, taking some comfort in the fact that it was her and not the goblin doing the fucking. Frustrated by her inability to thrust back with the dildo due to her bindings, Azira forced herself to be content to admire Laura as she roughly fucked her. She devoured girl with her eyes, the way her perky breasts swayed with her thrusts, the sweat that beaded on her skin and dripped down onto her own body, her damp hair that was plastered to her skin, even the somewhat tormented look in her eyes as she battled the pleasure she was receiving from two ends was arousing to behold.

Brought to a second orgasm, and then a finally third in time with Laura's second, Azira lay panting on the table, still unable to move. She tried to focus and get strength back to her muscles as Laura and the goblin dismounted her and retied Laura. When the goblin left, Azira started wriggling at the bonds, almost before Laura told her what had happened. Finally breaking free, only to collapse, Laura propped herself up on the table and tried to shake life back into her legs. Finished, she looked at Laura and whispered, "No matter what happens, I will not abandon you. I will be right back."

Hearing the dragging, and the goblin talking to the slime, Azira remembered the goblin mentioning a net. She decided her best bet was to go and get her wakizashi and try to kill the goblin now. If she untied Laura instead of going for a weapon, then the goblin, and the slime would be inside the tent. It would be a simple matter for the goblin to loose the slime on them, and they would be at a tremendous disadvantage since neither of them had weapons, and she certainly didn't want to fight a slime in a cramped tent like this. Sure there was a possibility the slime would turn on the goblin, but it was far more likely to go for the nude, sexed up women, making it two combatants against two women who weren't very good at hand to hand. Given that, her best chance was to try to kill the goblin before he even got in the tent or got a chance to loose the slime, take his key and free herself, then use spirit powers to kill the slime.

Thinking about her encounter with the slime before, Azira remembered how they were seemingly attracted to sexual fluids and arousal and got an idea of how to get an edge in the coming skirmish.

In a whisper and with a pleading look in her eyes she said, "Laura, this will sound crazy and stupid but trust me. I need you to start masturbating. That may distract the slime and give me time to unlock this collar. Please trust me, as soon as I get this collar off me I will be able to kill the slime too. I know you've already done so much, but please just this one last thing and I will take care of the rest. Please."

With that, Azira turned tail and snuck out of the tent, hoping to get her wakizashi and ambush the goblin before he even got within sight of the tent. However if he could already see the tent entrance and it was clear that she wouldn't be able to ambush him, she would snatch up the wakizashi and rush him. Her intent was to surprise and kill the goblin in as short a time as possible and snatch the key from him befor the slime got loose. If it got loose before she could kill the goblin or get the key, hopefully it would go towards the tent and Laura, if it didn't then she would need to rethink her strategy.

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

"Masturbate? I... I'll try, but please hurry back!" The already-aroused scholar closed her eyes and arched her back, reaching between her legs with her still-bound hands until one finger managed to find her dripping slit.

But Azira wasn't wasting time watching her lover touch herself, and moved quietly but as quickly as she could out of the tent. The sunlight hurt her eyes after so long locked up, and she realized that she was in a small clearing with a few other small tents. And the goblin, carrying a net over one shoulder. He saw the escaped slave and yelled. "You! Get back in the tent and your punishment will end! If I have to force you, you'll spend the rest of your life in the pit!"

Azira could see the opening of a pit behind the goblin, and while it was impossible to guess its depths or contents just by looking at it, it seemed unlikely to be pleasant. The goblin, meanwhile, was quickly adjusting the net in his hands, and the warrior realized that he intended to throw it at her. Perhaps it had once been intended as a way to bring her to the slime and safely back out, rather than the other way around, but now it would be used to try to capture the collared woman.

But she was hardly going to stand still and take it. She searched the nearby area frantically for her equipment, and finally found it. Or some of it. Enough. She pulled the Wakizashi from the pile, though there wasn't time to sort through the rest and find her potions, armor, or other weapons. She turned back to the goblin as he was readying his net, but she saw a hint of fear in his eyes as she hefted the familiar weapon. "Last chance, slave."

 

[aguy]

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

It took a second for Azira's eyes to adjust to the natural sunlight after so long in the dark. She looked around, noting the tents and the pit, she went straight for her weapon as the goblin saw her.

Azira smirked as the goblin tried to threaten and cajole her back into the tent. He was armed with a net and she with her blade. His eyes held fear in them now that the beast he had tormented had escaped its bindings, her eyes held the look of a natural predator honing in on its prey. To make matters better, it seemed like the dark slime was not even present.

Still, it wouldn't do to get careless and wind up trapped and re-bound. She advanced towards the goblin, moving in to strike him down and claim freedom for herself and Laura, taking care to move erraticaly in an effort to evade efforts to cast the net on her or otherwise hit her.

As she closed in and the goblin and he ineffectually gave her a final warning she replied, "Give me the key to this collar and I'll think about backing down." This was a lie, she had no intention of backing down after what this miscreant had done. That and she wouldn't believe for a second that the goblin would just hand her the key, it would probably be some sort of trick designed to distract and insnare her again. No, if the goblin went for the key, any key rather, she would take that oppurtunity to strike at him. There was no mercy to be had here today.

The goblin didn't bother with deception. He went straight for the attack, throwing his net in an attempt to ensnare the escaped slave. Fortunately, Azira was ready for this, holding back her attack a little in case he tried something like this, and she easily dodged the attack.

Knowing there was no possibility of negotiation, the blue-haired warrior darted in with her sword and hit the slaver hard. His armor took the edge off the attack, but he was still bleeding heavily as he pulled his net back in and tried another sweeping attack, going for Azira's legs this time. She jumped at the last second and felt the wind as the net went under her feet. With a sword the net would hardly be instant defeat, but it would be harded to both attack and defend if he managed to ensnare her.

The still-aroused woman barely managed to stick her landing, giving the goblin a moment to pull his net back in again. While she waited for another chance to attack, the goblin pressed one hand against the wound. "Bitch. Maybe you're not worth all this trouble. Leave and I promise not to catch you. You'll find someone to take off your collar eventually." He was backing off slightly, wary after being injured.

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

Azira smirked as she dodged the first net cast. Moving to the side to avoid the net, she quickly rushed forward, landing a good hit on the goblin. His armor absorbed some of the damage, though there was still a good deal of bleeding. Still, it was too bad she couldn't use her spirit blade to slice right through that armor. Oh well, she just had to keep this up and before long she would be free of this wretched collar and this wretched creature.

Avoiding the second net toss, Azira just scoffed at the goblin's second final offer. "Sorry, but I want out of this collar now, not eventually." When the goblin started backing off, Azira pressed her attack, still trying to inflict a fatal blow while avoiding the net.

Azira flicked her razor-sharp blade towards the goblin's waist, where his leather armor ended, hoping to spill the slaver's guts and end the battle. But the blue-haired warrior pulled back from her attack at the last second as the net moved again. She easily dodging the net, had time to reflect on the fact that she almost certainly wouldn't have avoided the net if she'd followed through with the attack. If she could get a fatal blow through then it wouldn't matter, but the costs if she were captured again...

The goblin seemed to realize how close he'd come to a potentially fatal wound, and he backed a few steps away, circling around the warrior and holding the net almost defensively. "Come on, think about it. A day or two until you find someone who can take it off, or risk getting captured again."

Azira is entangled, and will take -10 to all non-damage rolls until she spends a turn untangling herself.

This time Azira didn't pull back when the goblin made to throw the net over her. Her sword dug into the slaver's hip. She wanted to curse as she felt it hit solid bone beneath the skin as it hit is hip bone rather then slipping into his gut, but it left him bleeding badly. Another solid hit and he'd go down. But letting her guard down also had the predictable result of letting him get his net over her. She tore at it, but as her hand slipped through the strands she realized that simply struggling would only make things worse. Of course, she still held her sword and could tear a hole in the thing in a few seconds if need be, but it left her vulnerable in the mean time.

Fortunately, the goblin didn't seem inclinded to press his advantage. Instead, he turned and fled past the pit and towards the edge of the clearing as fast as his little legs could take him, leaving a trail of blood. Unfortunately, he still had the key on him, and his turn of speed was impressive enough that Azira wasn't sure she could catch him even without the net. Worse still, the blood trail was thick at first but as he ran the goblin tore a strip off his undershirt and started applying basic first aid. It would slow him down for a few seconds, but afterward he wouldn't leave a trail of blood. And in the meantime Azira could hear a soft moan as Laura brought herself to orgasm back in the tent.

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

Cringing as her sword bit into the goblin's hip, Azira could still tell the wound was critical. But now she was trapped. She cursed to herself as the net wound around her. Taking the time to remove herself from the net, Azira was faced with a choice.

She could go back to get Laura, or pursue to goblin immediately. Since it looked like he was putting a patch on his wound, it didn't look like their would be much of a trail to follow for long, so she decided to pursue him immediately.

After she got out of the net, she pursued the goblin. She felt bad leaving Laura to continue masturbating, having heard her orgasm, but there was not time to go back for her, she had to kill the goblin and get the key back. As she took off after the goblin, she followed the blood trail, taking care to not walk into an ambush.

Speed: 2+17 = 19 v 27 = 24 + 3 -> Azira loses.

Azira cut the net loose, cursing as she realized that she was going to have to hold each individual strand in place in order to cut through it cleanly without risking hitting herself, but she was after the goblin shortly after it reached the forest. She went at full speed, not wanting to waste a second catching the one who held the key to her collar, and also wanting to get back to Laura before too long.

She felt her ankle twist, and she fell face first onto the ground. Only the ground was missing. Her hands plunged into empty air, and for a moment she stared down into a pit with a dark-colored slime doing its best to get up the wall nearest Azira, the tents, and Laura. After a moment of gut-twisting vertigo, the warrior realized that only her head and shoulders extended above the pit, and she got back to her feet and kept well clear of the pit as she went the rest of the way to the forest's edge.

Where she was forced to slow down. Falling into another pit would be... embarrassing. And without her magic, it would almost certainly mean recapture and all that went with it. She followed the trail of blood and frantic passage as quickly as she could while being wary of traps and ambush, but before a bitter taste rose in her mouth. It had been twenty yards since the last drop of blood, and that had been too dark and drying around the edge. She was losing ground.

Still Azira kept on, until the trail suddenly stopped. Or, she realized, stopped being so obvious. There were still signs, but he was no longer sprinting. That might mean she could catch up... but if the goblin was any good at woodcraft then the trail would soon be lost in the natural movements of the jungle. Another five frustrating minutes, and Azira finally found a sign. A thinly covered pit, that she could have fallen into if she wasn't being wary. And no further sign of the goblin. By this time, he could be miles away. Or back in the camp. Or hiding in a bush five feet away, and never seen by her.

The blue-haired woman felt the collar around her neck, suddenly nervous. She was alone in the forest, naked, unable to use her magic, unable to see her foe and unsure if the reverse was true. She had had the goblin beat with just her sword, and he'd left his net back in the clearing. But if he had other weapons hidden in the forest near his traps, he could ambush her. Or for that matter she could run into one of the many natural dangers of the forest, still unable to use magic. And Laura was still tied up back in the tent, helpless and possibly even still masturbating. She could continue looking, but the cowardly goblin's flight had turned certain victory into a potentially dangerous situation.

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

Azira's heart stopped as she fell towards the pit, seeing the slime crawling at the wall. This was it...she was doomed to capture again... Then she realized she wasn't falling anymore, only her upper torso was over the pit. She sheepisly picked herself up and kept going. Shortly after basically losing the trail and almost falling in another pit, Azira cooled herself down mentally and realized this wasn't going to work. It was foolish to chase the goblin through the woods while she was alone and naked. Given that she decided to carefully fall back to the camp.

She decided she would retrace her path back, careful to not fall into the pits she had come across while trying to avoid being ambushed. If she made it back without incident she would go back to the tent to get Laura. Azira silently cursed the goblin. Still, all was not lost, she was not about to give up on getting the goblin.

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

Laura froze as Azira entered the tent. The other woman had stopped masturbating, but by the look of it only recently. And by the little damp spot on the floor, she'd gotten rather into it, at least for a while. She ever-so-slowly shifted her head until she saw the warrior's blue hair, and let out a sigh of relief. "For a while there, I thought... no matter. You're back. Cut me loose." She shifted position, kneeling facing away from Azira, and presenting her bound wrists.

The similarity of this position to the one with which she had submitted to the goblin seemed to occur to her, as she started blushing and for a moment her eyes darted sideways. Azira's own gaze found what the still-bound woman had glanced at. The huge strap-on that Laura had used while loosening Azira's bonds.

 

[aguy]

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

As she slipped back into the tent, Azira looked down at Laura. She saw the puddle on the ground, it seemed she had either worn herself out or figured out that her efforts weren't needed afterall. When Laura told her how concerned she had been, Laura smiled wistfully saying, "I told you I wouldn't abandon you. Unfortunately I only wounded the goblin pretty badly. I wasn't able to finish the job and get the key to this blasted collar."

As the scholar shifted into the submissive position she had taken earlier, this time to allow Azira to cut her free, she noticed the sidelong glance towards the massive leather strap on with the additional inward-facing attachment.

Cutting the girl free of her bonds, Azira leaned over her, pressing her sensitive breasts into her bare back."Well well, seems like you developed a bit of an attraction for that thing. I suppose we could bring it along with us if you like..."

After cutting Laura free, Azira picked up the strapon, helped the scholar to her feet and allowed her to lean on her as they exited the tent to gather their gear.

Then Azira's memory of the past events came crashing back to her, making her sag and burst into tears. She pulled Laura to her and hugged her, placing her head on her shoulders as tears fell from her eyes. "Oh Laura! I'm so sorry! Everything you had to put up with and do on account of my failure, and I sit here and make light of your sacrifices! Please...forgive me..." She drew her head back so she could look Laura and gently ran her fingers over the other woman's face, brushing back her hair and gently placing a kiss on her lips.

After the kiss and once they geared up, she said to Laura, her voice not above a whisper, "We still need to get that damned goblin, and I have a plan. He has a lot of assets here, we can check this camp, pretend to leave, and set up an ambush for him when he comes back."

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

The two women recovered their captured gear, which had been strewn around a bit but not actually damaged during its time in the custody of the goblin. Laura pulled her clothes on with haste, seeming to be glad to finally be covered again. "You're right, he'll probably come back. But he might just run away again if he sees the two of us free and armed. I think I remember the way to where he bought the collar, if this doesn't work we could probably go there and see if we can get another key..."

The scholar didn't seem comfortable with the idea, but the idea of wandering the jungle without access to Azira's full talents might be considerably more dangerous. Still, it wouldn't matter if they managed to get the key off the goblin.

"So where should we wait? Up a tree? In the bushes? In a tent? Somewhere else? I'm not much good at this sort of thing, I'm afraid, so maybe we should hide separately?" An ideal location would offer a clear sight of the whole camp while allowing the women to hide from sight, sound, and scent, and also give them a free choice of actions once they spotted the goblin. But practically, Azira would have to make compromises.

 

[aguy]

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

"Hmmm..." Azira looked around the camp, sizing up the area. It would probably be best to scout lay in wait at the perimeter of the camp. How is your tree climbing? I was thinking you could be ranged support and use your bow from a tree. I could wait in some bushes nearby the camp. Maybe try for a larger tree with thick-enough cover that you won't be easily spotted? I was also thinking I would be in bushes off to the side. Once the goblin is in the middle of the camp we could spring the trap.

Oh, and we should probably pretend to leave and double back through the jungle to reach our positions. Just in case he is watching for us to leave. What do you think? Azira was open to suggestions, and once preparations were made she would readily move into position to wait for the goblin's return.

Stealth (Azira): 3+33 = 36 v 30 = 25+5 -> Success!
Stealth (Lauren): 11+24 = 35 v 28 = 25+3 -> Success!

The two women walked out of the camp, making little effort to hide their progress, and when Azira was satisfied with their distance, they crouched down and started sneaking back as best as they could. Or at least Azira did. Laura looked like she was trying, but it was almost painful how bad she was at moving stealthily.

Nevertheless, they made it back to the camp without sight or sound of the goblin. Lauren climbed a tree on the edge of the clearing, her bow across her back. Watching her climb gave the blue-haired warrior a decent (or more correctly indecent) view, and again it was a little jarring how much noise the other woman made going up. But once she was near the canopy and settled down, it became much more difficult to see or hear the woman just because of how far she was from where one might expect to find her. Azira took up a position on the ground a little ways around the clearing, focusing more on the ability to close with the goblin in melee rather then simply spotting him.

Afternoon faded to evening, then night as the two women waited. Midnight passed. And then, finally, there was a stirring on the tree line. Azira glanced up at Laura, who nodded, notched an arrow, and drew her bow, then waited for a signal from Azira to fire. The goblin hadn't apparently spotted either woman yet, and he seemed to be alone, but he had also found another net and was creeping along the edge of the clearing, only slowly approaching the camp. If it wasn't for the moon high above, he might have approached unseen, but that could cut both ways. He was staring into shadows intently, and taking his time. He was still well out of range for Azira to take him from surprise in melee unless she was incredibly lucky, but if she waited he would get into range of her crossbow before too long, and he was already in range for Laura.

Azira winced just about every time Laura took a step. It was sort of frustrating having to help the scholar keep her noise down, but she reminded herself it wasn't her fault. Azira had the benefit of living in the jungle her whole life, she knew how to move around quietly. Laura had dedicated her life to other, equally valuable pursuits and so she couldn't fault her for that.

Finally reaching a good spot for Laura to wait, Azira helped Laura up into the tree, taking a few moments to appreciate the good view before continuing on to her ambush spot.

Hunkering down, Azira waited with her crossbow drawn and her wakizashi on the ground beside her. When the goblin appeared, she went fully into predator mode. Currently she gauged the goblin was not in the kill zone yet. She held off on giving the signal for Laura to fire. She at least wanted the goblin in position for her to fire her crossbow.

Still, Azira hoped Laura would know to fire anyway if the goblin decided to bolt again. And that is why she had her wakizashi on the ground by her feet. If the goblin did decide to run, it would be far simpler to drop the crossbow, pick up the sword and give chase than it would be to draw the sword while chasing the green bastard.

And still she waited.

Goblin is killed!

Azira's efforts at stealth were near-perfect. The goblin approached the tent where he had held his slaves carefully, and the amazonian warrior hardly dared breathe. Finally, she decided that he was near enough to within sight. She raised her little crossbow, took aim... and heard something snap above her and a short way around the clearing. The goblin looked up, saw Laura, and the blue-haired warrior released her bolt. It struck him firmly in the gut, going straight through his armor, and he looked utterly surprised.

He stumbled forward, and his eyes finally picked out Azira's form. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to be dead, and despite obvious pain he turned as if to run. In only a few seconds he would be at the edge of the clearing again, and given his forty foot head start he might even evade her again. He wouldn't be fool enough to return a second time, not with his life on the line.

The goblin hadn't taken more then two steps when the much-longer shaft of an arrow blurred through the air, and buried itself up to the feathers in the back of the goblin's neck. With a pitiful gurgling sound, he fell over.

Laura came up behind the amazonian woman as she riffled through the dead goblin's pockets, finally finding the key. The scholar took it gently from Azira's hands as she wrapped her arms about the other woman and moved in for a full on kiss. Azira could feel the growing heat in the other woman's body, but after only a moment Laura pulled away, holding the key in one hand and the removed collar in the other. "There, now we're both really free. I know it was only about a day, but it still feels..."

Azira's lover blushed, and indicated one of the other tents with a nod of her head. "It would probably be safest to spend the night here, now that he is dead?"

Re: Cleansing the Jungle (aguy) GMed by thetwo

Azira honed in on the goblin, training her hand crossbow on him as he walked closer...closer...*snap*

The sound undoubtably came from Laura's position, and the goblin turned to look. But he hesitated, and that was all the time Azira needed to trigger the crossbow, sending the bolt straight into the goblin's gut. But it wasn't enough, the damned thing still wasn't dead, and now it was going to run away, again. The goblin was turning to run, Azira had dropped her crossbow, grabbing her wakizashi and preparing to make chase when Laura's arrow buried itself in his neck, dropping the thing like a stone.

Picking up her crossbow and returning it to its place, Azira moved forward to get the key that she so desperately needed. Finally finding it, she scrabbled to get it off the goblin and getting it, she was near frantic trying to unlock the collar when a soft hand closed over hers holding the key.

She stopped and looked into Laura's eyes, her heartbeat slowing down, her panic withdrawing. As if hypnotized, she slowly stood up as Laura took the key, not breaking eye contact until Laura pulled her into a kiss when she closed her eyes. She practically sagged into the scholar, enjoying the warmth of her body and the true passion that came with the kiss. Strangely, the tender kiss felt all the better after having been forced into depravity earlier and enduring the brutal rape from the goblin. This wasn't sum act of perversion, this was real. She lightly wrapped Laura in her arms, one hand going up her back to stroke her hair and gently push her head into the kiss, the other laying delicately on her waist. This was a tender act of passion, not something fueled by lust. Not that she didn't notice the heat of Laura's body. She noticed, and felt a familiar heat begin spreading through herself as well.

When Laura broke the kiss, Azira gently drew back and opened her eyes and saw her holding the key and the collar. She felt happiness and giddiness bubbling up inside of her and she felt her neck, massaged it, and laughed for the joy of it all. "That was the longest day ever...but its over now. Why don't we celebrate." She glanced at the goblin body. "After we deal with him." After checking to make sure the goblin had nothing valuable on him, she pushed the corpse into the nearest pit, satisfied at the thud it made, knowing nothing would be attracted to their tent for the night with the body out of the area.

This done, Azira took Laura's hand and followed her towards the tent she had indicated. "Yea, it probably is a good idea that we stay here..." Her comment made her realize that while it was getting dark, she had no trouble seeing...strange. She brushed the thought aside when she saw Laura's smile, saying coyly, "... So, how should we cele.brate our new-found freedom? I kept that strapon you seemed so...attached to. She snickered as she brought up the sex toy. "You did well finishing of the goblin, so why don't you take the lead tonight? You've earned it. And is it just me or are you coming out of your shell hmm?" She said this referring to the way Laura seemed to be naturally more comfortable with her sexually, though she was interested if it was real, or just done out of necessity because of their situation.
