Ferro in the Tower of Temptation

"But why did you help me?" She asked, on the verge of tears.

"Because it's the right thing to do. I'll defend myself if I'm being engaged, but if I can help it, I don't ever want to see suffering like that." He sighed as he dropped to the forest floor, tired from all the walking and carrying and panicking, as well as the handjob he got recently.

"Are you okay? Are you like this because of me?" She asks, rushing over to him, as she starts to cry.

"No, I did this myself," he told her, taking a breath and getting a break. "Besides, I've been running around a lot since even before I found you. You don't need to cry, I just need a quick break."

"Please don't lie to make me feel better." She says, hugging him.

"I'm not lying, promise. I did do this to help you, but it was my decision to do it, and i really did get quite the workout before," he assured her, patting her back.

She continues to hug him in silence.

"Are you going to be okay from here?" he asked her.

"I... I don't know." She replies.

"Maybe you can come with me then, if you want. But I will most likely get into some fights, so if you wanna hang back, you can," he offered.

"Sure." She agreed, almost instantly.

"Alright," he said, gettinf to his feet. "Then let's go! Oh, by the way, do you remember your name yet?"

"I still don't remember anything." She says, almost crying again.

"Well, I'll have to call you something so... How's Anise?" he asked. Yeah, yeah, real original to call the Alraune after a flower, but hey it's as good as anything.

"Okay." Anise says.

Okay, now that this sideplot is over with, ONWARD!N

Quest Roll: 98

As they walk, they come across a cabin.

Encounter Start - Moshu

"A house? Well, it's a worth a look..." He approached the door and politely knocked on the door.

"Don't do tha..." Anise starts to say, but Ferro doesn't hear the rest when the door opened and some force dragged him in. Inside the cabin, it appeared to be a casino. Ferro tried to open the door, but it doesn't budge.

"Ah you've gotta be kidding me," he sighed, not even really surprised, especially not by the casino inside the cabin. Considering he lives in a forest with a multitude of mini-biomes squeezed together, he's already seen more impressive stuff. "Couldn't I at least have company?"

With his complaints given, he trudged onward, ready to just be done with rhis.

"Oh, you want company, dear." A female voice says, seeming to come from everywhere, "Get in that bed, and I'll show you company." as a bed appears in front of Ferro.

"I meant my friend that you so rudely slammed the door on," he said, not at pleases by this. "Any other way I could meet you?"

"If you want to meet me, dear, just get in the bed, or you could come and find me." The voice says.

"Both options sounds incredibly risky... This one overtly so," he huffed. "Well, ma'am, sorry to disappoint, but I think I'll try and find you."

"Well then dear, lets see if you can." The voice says, before a pink mist starts to cover the room. Ferro takes a small breath and becomes slightly drowsy.
