Inu and the Pyramid

Inu stumbled as he was pelted by the trap. He leaned against the wall as he continued on, hoping that staying away from the center of the hall would let him avoid activating any other such traps.

Trap (32) Success

Just when Inu tried this, he felt his hand also sink a bit into the wall. He had triggered another plate, causing a subtle but sweet gas leak into the hall. Inu felt his face heat up with pleasure as he breathed, but at least it wasn't impacting his ability to move.

Inu: 19 Willpower, Charmedx2

Inu let out a sigh as he continued on. At least the smell was a subtle one instead of an overpowering one.

Inu finally got out of that trap-ridden hallway and into a large chamber. It looked important, with hieroglyphs and a variety of statues depicting unusual creatures vaguely resembling birds and reptiles. But, it was all a tad esoteric, and there were at least half a dozen ways to go from here.

Inu walked around the room. He examined the hieroglyphs and statues, hoping to find some way of identifying what path went where.

Examination (43) Fail

It seemed that Inu had forgotten his Hieroglyph Translation handbook, so he really wasn't able to make heads or tails of anything in the room. Some of the halls were 'guarded' by reptilian statues, and the rest had avian statues marking them. Just one hallway had one of each kind of statue.

With nothing else to go off of, Inu went down on of the walls guarded by an Avian statue. Birds didn't like being cooped up, so this probably led to a way out, right?

Search (90) Crit Success

Inu was able to get to the very end of the hallway without any issues. There was a staircase leading up, maybe it could loop him back to the exit. What splendid luck!

Inu: 19 Willpower, 2 Charmed

At least something was going his way. Inu started humming to himself as he climbed the stairs.

Encounter (56) Success, Naga Variant (3) Insulated

Inu reached another open room, and this one had a midara resembling the reptilian statues in it. It turned out to be a Naughty Naga! And this one had very large breasts in addition to her smooth skin, distracting scales, and long tail. "Ah, a prize to give to my misstressss." She hissed at him with a seductive grin.

Naughty Naga: 10 Stamina, Insulated

"Or, you could just point me to the exit." Inu said as he slipped a needle out of his sleeve and threw it at her.

Throwing Needle (61) Fail
Serpent's Peck (59,84) Success

The Naga giggled and slithered at Inu with surprising speed, eluding the needle and kissing him on the cheek. "Mwah, how many midara do you actually convince to not fight like that?" She teased with a chuckle.

Inu: 17 Willpower, Charmed
Naughty Naga: 10 Stamina, Insulated

"I haven't met many that even give me a chance to talk first." Inu remarked as he tried to karate chop the Naga.

Knife Chop (47) Fail
Naga Kiss (53) Fail

"Don't take it personally, boy. It's not that they don't want to chat, they would just much prefer having sex with you." The Naga assured him, a hint of sarcasm in her voice as she circled him.

Inu: 17 Willpower, Charmed
Naughty Naga: 10 Stamina, Insulated

Inu rolled his eyes at that and tried to kick her.

(Flying Roundhouse)

Flying Roundhouse (73) Fail
Snake Wrap (66) Success

The elusive snake slipped away from his kick, then her coils started wrapping around his leg and the rest of his body. It felt surprisingly warm and soft being trapped in her long tail... and it was difficult to even think about escaping.

Inu: 14 Willpower, Bound
Naughty Naga: 10 Stamina, Insulated

Inu had to admit that it was surprisingly nice, being wrapped up like this. That didn't stop him from trying to get free, though.

(Struggle -> Knife Chop)

Struggle (68) Success, Knife Chop (95) Crit Fail
Hypnotic Gaze (Auto)

Inu forced his way out of her coils, but felt himself halted by her eyes, which started glowing with so many different colors that he couldn't focus on any of them. "Now, now, don't be in such a rush. Take a moment to slow down and relax." The Naga cooed to him as she kept him locked in Eye contact with her.

Inu: 14 Willpower, Must Pass
Naughty Naga: 10 Stamina, Insulated

The masked man nodded and took a few calming breaths as he stared into her colorful eyes.

Snake Wrap (68) Success

"There. Now, let's try this again." The Naga slowly took her time to coil around Inu while he took a moment to relax. He was back where he started, caught in the delightful tail of the seductive snake woman.

Inu: 12 Willpower, Bound
Naughty Naga: 10 Stamina, Insulated

Inu began to squirm in her grip after he snapped out of his trance.

(Struggle -> Throwing Needle)

Struggle (10) Success
Throwing Needle (66) Success
Teasing Tail (57) Fail

The Naga was about to introduce Inu's face to her huge breasts, but he struggled away just in time and hit her tail with a needle, causing her to wince in pain.

Inu: 12 Willpower
Naughty Naga: 9 Stamina, Insulated

The masked man jumped up and tried to kick the snake woman in the head.

(Flying Roundhouse)

Flying Roundhouse (81) Fail
Serpent's Peck (85,62) Success

Despite the length of her tail, the midara was able to quickly slip away from his telegraphed attack. The only contact that was made was between Inu's cheek and the Naga's soft lips. "Mmwah~"

Inu: 11 Willpower
Naughty Naga: 9 Stamina, Insulated

Inu swiped at her, hoping to hit her before she could pull away.
