Once we are underway, El will ask the ladies, Harv, and Charlton to join him (likely in a dining area aboard ship... someplace where everyone can sit comfortably, and still hear me). The Harlot sits amongst them.

"Ladies, gentlemen, thank you for your attention. I will keep this brief, and directed primarily at our ladies. Let me first say that I personally selected each of you for this trip, and each for different reasons. I wished a variety of skills and appetites to be with us, as our primary clients for the next while shall be the nobles of Timiro. While not as... refined... as the nobles of the Western Kingdom, they are, none-the-less, nobles, with the usual array of tastes. To that end, I hope that each of you will learn something of each other's specialties, insofar as you are able."

He pauses for a moment, taking a drink of wine.

"As you may or may not know, I am quite rich. However, my needs are modest, and so much of this money will be used in your maintenance, ladies. Within reason, you will find that I am quite open-handed, and I will try to accommodate all requests that do not endanger our business. Within the confines of your duties, I wish for you to be content with your jobs and your lives in general; I feel that it makes for a better relationship within our small company if everyone is able to be content with what must be done. I will do what I am able to ensure your health, including any magical healing you require. You are valuable resources, each of you, and to that extent, I care for your well-being."

He takes another sip of wine, then puts down the glass, firmly.

"That said, I wish to make one thing clear: You will do your duty, as assigned. You will do it without question, and, if necessary, you will feign enjoyment of it. Failure will be met with punishment. As we are no longer confined to the brothel, itself, some of you may be thinking of running. Understand that this will not be allowed. If you attempt to flee, I will call upon a pack of demons to hunt you down, return you to me, and then rape you to death. I will instruct them to ensure that it lasts as long as they are able to prolong your agony, and I will require the rest of you to watch it. Once you are dead, I will give them your soul to return to Hades, where you can serve their depraved desires for eternity, until a stronger demon takes you for its own, or you are ripped apart in a struggle for possession of what scraps of you remain."

"I do not wish to be cruel. If this outing can be accomplished with each of you returning healthy, happy, and richly gifted from my own coffers, I will be quite pleased... it is what I most desire. If I must murder each of you with my bare hands and consign you to the flames of Hades for eternity, I will do it with a calm heart, and arrange to have your corpse violated with no more care than you ask for your chamber pot to be emptied."

"Do we understand each other?"

Marrow, do I know... or can I learn from Auntie or the Harlot's sources... where Necromancers are likely to be found in Timiro? Places where I can be reasonably sure to get a number of slaves to start with?


OK, You'll be starting up on the far southeastern edge of the Timiro Kingdom. Namely, Nisi, Tanith, and Sims are your first three target cities.

Our four whores:

1) Camilla, assuming she's relatively "tame" (i.e. we don't have to look out for her running away). A spare sword if we need it. If we have to worry about her running away, Gibby or Nest... I want an exotic, and these will be the easiest to keep track of.

2) Ginger, Bubbles, or Diana. I want a real beauty.

3) Krista. Another sword, if necessary, and someone to dominate nobles who like that sort of thing. If she's with another team, Mirabelle, then Jeanette, and lastly White Apple. Nothing against White Apple, but if the lords want to screw an orc, they've got options.

4) I'd want Wolf, but since he's a money-maker for Auntie, and likely has his own band of followers in the West, Harlot is going to have to take the man-roles. We don't have the people to keep an eye on any of the other men. I'd love to have one of Athelisia, Aziria, or Ireda... class would be great, especially for jobs that are as much "escort" as "prostitute". If their contracts won't let them leave, then another of my back-ups... Ginger, Bubbles, or Diana is preferable.

So, ranked in order of preference:

1) Camilla, if she is tractable. Gibby or Nest, if not.
2) Ginger, Bubbles, or Diana. I don't care which.
3) Krista or Mirabelle
4) Athelisia, Aziria, or Ireda
5) If any of these can't be filled, additionals from Krista, Mirabelle, Ginger, Bubbles, Diana, Athelisia, Aziria or Ireda.


OK, going off that list....Consider Camilla, Ginger, Bubbles, and Krista yours.

GM Note -- you all will be taking the long boat ride around the world. We'll speed the process along with a bit of handwavium (let's say three weeks at sea...go go handwavium and Warlock magic), but the others will have been at their work for a bit before you guys arrive. Don't worry about how the time flows line up, it'll all be fine. Your ship will be a twin, the other will break off at Credia with most of the whores. You all will continue on from there to Nisi.

Ginger and Bubbles seem appropriately terrified, not that either was thinking about fleeing in the first place. Ginger in particular still hasn't quite fully recovered from the Necromancer's demise, so your words ring heavily with her. Camilla's a beaten dog, and while she doesn't spark in protest, she doesn't cringe in fear either. She'll do her duty though, the Coyle is very obedient.

This might have been the wrong tactic for Krista however, who is as free an employee as you, Harv, and Charlie are. Those are not happy eyes, at the moment.

Charlie, for his part, seems disinterested. Of course, several weeks at sea will have that affect on some people. He'd much rather be in his bunk right now, a half a flask of wine deep.

Harv pats Ginger, "gingerly" (see what I did there Razz ) on the shoulder, while whispering to her

"Der, der girlie, he don't mean you, besides its just smoke to makes sures we all dos our jobs. Ole Harvs a gonna make sures you dont haf to worrys about nuthin."

"If there are no questions, I'll see all of you later. Krista, if I may have some time, please, I would like to speak with you in my cabin."

((Assuming she comes, the harlot will be in the room, but small and invisible. I will be wearing Armor of Ithan.))

"Please, take a seat, and find some refreshment if you like."

((He'll wait for her to settle, or to glare at him.))

"I know you did not take my threats well. They were not meant for you... I simply do not anticipate any problems from you. I know you enjoy your work, that you are good at it, and that you are a loyal employee. If the inconceivable happens, and the threat becomes a necessity, then I will carry it out... but until then, it does not need to be mentioned."

"With that unpleasantness aside, what do you need from me, in terms of personal and professional equipment?"

A cautious spell caster is a long lived spell caster.

However, she follows without incident.

She settles, though she does not eat. You all did just come from dinner, of course.

She's all business in her response, almost no hint of her earlier rage. Of course, it might have been show all along. Dominatrices can be a pain to read. "I've brought all my portable equipment, but if I'm to handle any major work, I'll be contracting out carpenters and a blacksmiths in every town we stay in for any length of time. Plus my own work room, of course."

She clings to you, sobbing just slightly. Her world has definitely been a roller coaster since she woke up covered in bits of Necromancer.

((The presumption on the tanner is that she makes her own gear; the leatherers... probably should be leather-worker, but he likes the sound of leatherer... would be people who can make custom gear.))

"We may have a slight initial problem providing blood, but not once our task gets started; if necessary, we'll use mine. As for the harlot, I think she'd rather enjoy watching it... so long as it was pain, and not an actual threat on my life. Have you worked with a succubus before?"

"I've never been one for demons of any kind, no," Ah yes, of course. She'd have been part of the staff when the previous brothel Summoner had lost control and let loose the Raksasha on the brothel.

Harv just stands there holding her, slightly unsure how to be delicate.

Finally snapping himself from a near half daze, Charlie looks over to see Krista and Eldrith departed. "Harv, I'm going to see Camilla and Bubbles to their bunks. Once you've put Ginger to bed, be a good lad and make certain Krista and El are well."

With that the former Legionnaire gathers up the two whores, his left arm lingering over Bubbles shoulder in a familiar manner.

"Ahh, yes, I'd heard. In a way, they're rather like the lions the emperor keeps at court... beautiful, powerful, and some are quite willing to behave... but one must never believe that they are tame. The harlot does as I wish because her Lord told her to do so and, I believe, because I provide her interesting things to do."

He thinks for a moment. "I am not a masochist, you understand... my inclinations run more towards your work... but I believe that, if you are willing, I will help you season such leather as you need when we arrive. I want to see a professional at work, and, if the Harlot observes, I will gain her opinion of your technique, as well."

"Truthfully, I wished a variety of skills amongst our talent. Camilla can cater to some of the more deviant desires, Ginger and Bubbles make lovely arm and bed adornments, and you cater to what I've seen to be a fairly common kink amongst the upper classes... those who spend all their time in control tend to either revel in it or wish to debase themselves in submission."

"While the Harlot may be able to fulfill any of these roles, and some we did not bring along, I go back to the parable of the lion... it's not as if she's a tame lion. While she'd act with considerable skill, she's her own demon, with nothing in particular to lose if she misbehaves. The earlier bit of nastiness aside, you would lose your professional reputation, if nothing else."

"Furthermore, to your own selection, there's the simple fact of your prior experience. If necessary, I want someone who can act to defend herself and the rest of the talent. Asking Ginger or Bubbles to learn such things would ruin some of their value; Camilla may know, but she's been too thoroughly broken. I'd prefer to never need your combat experience... but I'd be a fool to ignore that it is useful."
