The Once & Future Kingdom - DnD 5e [Closed for ZRS]

Kate stands around, observing the surroundings [No need to make Perception Roll] As she waited for Nala and Kathleen to enter as well as the remaining guards. Kathleen enters the room, still apologizing. Kate turns to her and says, "Don't apologize. It's not you I'm angry with."
 
As the others in the small group file into the room, the guards all seem to notable relax. Both the swordsman and the spearmen deposit their weapons and shields on the rack beside the door before moving to take up seats behind the desk, making themselves comfortable as the gaze out over the water. The spearwoman on the other hand ships the long weapon, and instead pulls out a shortsword, eyeing Kate all the while.

After a few moments, the lead guard steps back in through the rear door, carrying a tray with several rough mugs and a large pitcher on it, along with several pastries and small plates. Lowering down onto her desk she carefully takes a seat, taking a moment to tidy away the pen and inkwell before smoothing out the ledger pages, closing the book and sliding it to one side.

Out of her armour, which was indeed the set not hanging from the stand beside her, the woman appeared to be in her mid to late thirties, with a well toned, muscular body clothed with a simple spun tunic, which seemed heavy enough to be comfortable in the cool air of the local environment. Her straw coloured hair and piercing blue eyes stood out from her peers, most of whom were darker brunettes, and her face was chiselled with creases which spoke of a hard lived life. There was a slight sharpness to her ears that hinted at a mixed ancestry, although nothing which clearly showed her to be anything other than human.

Steepling her fingers together she leant forwards over the table, her large breasts moving in interesting ways under her top as she did. "Now, I'm Lieutenant Crause, in command of this post, and the crime which took place comes under my jurisdiction. Before we go any further, is there anything you'd like to tell me before we begin?"
 
Nala's tribe did not have organized law enforcement. Any crime that was committed was usually handled by the people of the village. This included catching the criminals and also determining whether the offender was indeed guilty or innocent. So the true meaning of the captain's question went over her head.

She asks sheepishly, "Um... I'm Nala and these are my friends, Kathleen and Kate. We aren't in trouble are we?"

Kate and Kathleen both stare at Nala. Kate has a look of "Why are you saying that" on her face while Kathleen is just smiling like how an embarrassed mother would smile after her daughter says something that no one asked to know.
 
"Not right now," Lt. Crause replied, a crooked smile skirting the side of her mouth, "And hopefully, if you help me with my enquiries to the best of your abilities, you won't be later either."

Leaning back, the lieutenant took a deep inhalation of air as she placed her hands palms down and pushed back from her desk a little. Beside them the gnome scribbled down a note in a small book, his presence a surprise as none had noticed him approaching until now.

"If you have nothing to volunteer, I think we can get things started then," Crause continued, her tone a tad sharper than it had been moments before, "Do you have any idea who the victim may have been?" As she spoke her eyes darted between the women standing in front of her, studying them for any signs of guilt or deception, "Or why anyone would have cause to murder him?"
 
Kate just stares off at a wall. Kathleen shakes her head and says, "We just got here not even an hour ago. We haven't really seen the man before today and don't know who he is and why someone would want to murder him." Kate turns her gaze back at the captain and adds at the end of Kathleen's explanation, "Same."

After Kathleen and Kate finishes their respective answers, Nala says, "I'm also new to this land and haven't met the person before now but..." She pauses for a bit and says, "While trying to stop the man's bleeding, I noticed he had a amulet. The amulet had the sign of the Inquisition so I guess he may have been a part of that? As to why someone would want him dead... I don't know. Maybe someone did not want him doing whatever it is that he was sent here to do but I really don't know." Her friends listen to Nala with great interest. They had no idea that the man might have been a part of the Inquisition. This is all new information to them as well.
 
As Nala was talking, Kathleen noticed the gnome beside them pause writing for a moment to slide his glasses up his nose. His gaze wandered over the three girls in a manner which made the rogue feel almost violated in some way, as if he was undressing them with his eyes. Rather than being in any way lascivious in his gaze however, his look was far more cold and calculating. More in line with a physician examining a body while trying to diagnose an ailment than a someone lusting after an attractive sexual partner.

After the moment passed, the gnome coughed gently, his hand moving up to cover his mouth as he did. Raising an eyebrow, Crause turned her attention to her compatriot, who shuffled towards her. Leaning down the lieutenant listened carefully as the gnome whispered something in her ear, before her eyes darted towards Kathleen's midriff, locking her gaze on the exposed flesh with a burning intensity.

When the gnome finished muttering, Crause sat back up, her pose lean and professional. "May I ask," she continued, her tone measured and steady, "Where you acquired that book?"

For a moment Kathleen didn't understand what the guard meant. Following the guard's gaze she looked down towards her own belly, and at first saw nothing there. As she held her gaze however, she suddenly became aware of a leatherbound notebook, it's sleeve stained with fresh blood, stuffed into the front of her tight pants.
 
Kathleen didn't answer at first. She just stared down at the book with a confused look on her face. She gingerly reaches for the book and pulls it out of her pants. She continues to stare at it, in thought. She opens her mouth to say, "This... isn't mine..."

"Blood on the sleeve... could it be..."

Kathleen then looks back up at the captain and says, "Maybe... the guy stuffed it into my pants when I was trying to help him? I know I didn't receive this book from anywhere and I didn't have it this morning." She extends her hand to offer the book to Crause.
 
As she reaches her hand out, Kathleen notices a symbol embossed on the front of the leather cover. Before any of the others spot it though Crause's hand reaches out and takes it from her. Turning it over a few times the guard examines the bloodstains, only just drying and soaking into the cured hide to leave a permanent mark. Tracing her fingers over the symbol, obscuring it from the others as she examined it for herself she let out a deep, disappointed sigh.

Without moving her head the lieutenant slowly shifted her gaze over to Kathleen's midriff for a moment, before turning away. Shifting her body in her seat, she leant sideways. "One of you, get the girl a towel or something to clean up with?"

Over at the window the two men began to shift from their comfortable stances, their discussion about why meat pies where named differently across the ocean interrupted mid-sentence. Before either of them could move the spearwoman called out from the other side of the room, "Don't worry about it. I got it."

The other two guards seemed confused for a moment, but then settled back and started up their discussion once more, one making a comment about foot massages as he watched the spearwoman vanish into the back room.
 
Kathleen calls out after the spearwoman saying, "It's okay. I can do this." She motions her hands and casts Prestidigitation to clean herself of blood. Kate and Nala look over at her, surprised that she can cast spells. Nala says, "I thought you said you couldn't cast spells." Kathleen rubs her clean hands on the back of her head and says, "Well... this is actually the only spell I know."
 
Standing in the doorway to the back room, a towel in her hand, the spearwoman looked over at Kathleen with a disappointed look on her face. Turning towards Kate the guard lifted the fresh, warm towel up, offering it with a playful smile, "I don't suppose you need those beauties of yours cleaning, by any chance?"

Over by the window the other two guards chuckled together, the nicer one peering back over his shoulder, just in case anything came from the offer.

"This is definitely the property of the Inquisition, but I don't understand how it ended up in your possession," the lieutenant grumbled, turning the book over and over in her hands before finally spinning it rightside up and attempting to open it. Even with no visible lock, the pages wouldn't budge. It was almost as if they had been fused together in some way, forming a solid mass impossible to open by any regular means.

Just then the main door was pushed open, and the other two guards moved through, carefully guiding the dead body which was suspended on spectral hands between them. Moving over to the cage, the pair lowered the corpse carefully down on one of the beds there before stepping back, bowing their heads respectfully as they muttered gentle prayers.

Tossing the sealed notebook down onto her desk, Crause quickly made her way over to join them, pushing between Kate and Nala as she did, her ample chest rubbing against the barbarian as she did.
 
Kathleen just smiles and raises her hand to decline the towel. She says, "I'm good. Prestidigitation is pretty useful when you are in no position for a bath."

Kate was still pretty pissed off at the whole situation but she was never one to not enjoy the feeling of a big boobs brushing against her. Kate steps aside to let the woman pass.

Nala on the other hand speaks up naively, "So... are we done here? Can we go back now?" She slowly rotates around on the spot to be facing the moving guard captain.
 
"I'm not entirely sure it'd be safe for you yet," Crause replied over her shoulder, before stepping into the cage.

Waiting for a moment behind the medics, the lieutenant respected their prayers until the two finally rose their heads, the ritual completed. "I presume you didn't have any luck then?" She asked in a resigned tone.

"I'm afraid not, sir," replied the same short woman from before as she glanced over passed her commanding officer to where the adventurers were standing. "It looks like the same wound again. Small incision,with black tendrils working their way rapidly into the body. Definitely a cursed blade of some kind, and the rot was already well set in before we arrived."

Placing her hand on the medic's shoulder, Crause smiled understandingly down at her. "I'm sure you did everything you could. And I'll make sure these bastards pay for what they're doing."
 
Nala says weakly, "Oh... okay." She takes a few steps back and looks at the floor again.

Kate takes a glance at the spear wielding guard that indirectly caused her to show her boobs to all the those that were around her. With her arms crossed and beneath said breasts, making them look even bigger than they actually are, she sizes up the girl. She would like to get back at her and wonders if she can be goaded into accepting a "friendly" duel [Kate - Insight]. She's not going to kill the girl of course, just beat her up for a bit. Plus she would love to put the guard in her place.

Kathleen meanwhile fidgets around idly. She doesn't like being cooped up in small spaces. She'd much rather be outside exploring.
 
The spearwoman was an inch or two shorter than Kate, and her physique lithe and athletic from what little the barbarian could make out. Her brown hair was trimmed short on either side of her head, and pulled up into a high ponytail at the back. From the bouncing gait of her stride as she moved, Kate was sure the girl would make for a fast, agile foe, but once she pinned her down, the little thing wouldn't be able to buck her off too easily.

Stepping back out of the cage, leaving the medics behind to tend to the body, the lieutenant stepped up behind the adventurers. "I'm sorry to ask this ladies, but would you mind if I examined you? Just to be absolutely sure you are innocent," As she spoke she raised her hands in the air, showing they were empty.

"I can help too, if you like, sir?" Piped up the spearwoman enthusiastically.

Across the room the two male guards shifted in their seats, turning away from the seaview just enough to be able to casually glance over towards the group while at the same time pretending not to be paying attention.
 
Nala says, "Ah! Sure." She raises her hands up a bit to allow for the guard to search her.

Kate and Kathleen shrug and lets the guard search them.
 
Stepping in closer the lieutenant started with the dragonborn's scalp, running her hands over her skull to ensure there were no illusions in place disguising anything hidden there. Slowly Crause moved around Nala, her hands trailing down her scaled neck until the guard was standing behind her with her palms resting on the sorcerer's shoulders.

Moving slowly, letting her fingers trail delicately, Crause ran her hands first down one arms then the other. Smoothly flowing over her gloves until locking fingers, ensuring nothing was held between them. With that done the hard guard moved back up until her hands were resting against Nala's chest.

Held this way the dragonborn could feel Crause's breasts pressing against her back as the woman worked her fingers into her leotard, cupping her breasts as her fingertips probed beneath them.

Across the room, the spearwoman wasted no time stepping over in front of Kate. Mirroring her superior's actions she started with the barbarian's head, her fingers slipping into the tightly packed strands, almost as if deliberately trying to make a mess of Kate's ponytail.

Stepping around behind her, the guard pressed herself against Kate's back, the metal of her breastplate far less appealing than her lieutenant's far softer frontage. Her hands didn't bother with Kate's arms, either because the barbarian wasn't wearing gloves, or because the guard was far more eager to slide her hand up under the woman's tank top.

Her hands grabbed at Kate's breasts perhaps a little too roughly than was entirely necessary, her fingers squeezing the soft flesh as she began to stroke them.

"Are your nipples getting hard?" The woman whispered in Kate's ear, barely loud enough for the barbarian to hear. "Mine are."

With that the spearwoman quickly darted her head forward, catching Kate's earlobe between her teeth for a moment before pulling her mouth away again. Quickly shooting a glance across the room, she checked to see whether anyone had noticed what she was up to, and spotted Kathleen;s eyes locking with hers.
 
Kathleen just looks on as her friends, or at least Kate anyway, is getting groped. Kathleen keeps a closer eye on the spear woman, not for Kate's sake but for the woman's sake since she is worried Kate would attack the girl for groping her. However, Kate was good at keeping her anger in check to not attack the woman right away. She will have her chance later.

Nala's large breasts are soft but the scales around them are a bit rough to the touch. Nala had never been touched like this before so her nipples were starting to get aroused. Her get up being as revealing as it is, becomes loose and begins to slip of from her breasts getting cupped. This gives the male guards who would glance over at her a good view of her hard nipples. Nala quickly rushes to tuck her tits away behind her garment. A shade of red starts to appear on the dragonborn's face.

Kate let out a light surprised gasp as the guard squeezed her tits. The gasp was from surprise since she wasn't expecting to be squeezed quite that hard. The spearwoman could feel Kate's nipples getting rock hard under her fingers. Kate's face also began turning red but from arousal.
 
Crause blushed as she felt the dragonborn's body responding to her touch, and quickly slipped her hands back out from the woman's clothing. "I'm sorry about this, but I have to be sure," she said, her voice sounding genuinely sorrowful as she did her best to adjust Nala's leotard, covering her up from where she was standing behind her.

Moving her hands away from Nala's chest, the lieutenant moved one down onto the sorcerer's waist, while the other moved back to grip her tail. Lifting the thick appendage with her fingers, she ran her hand down along its length tracing over the scales until she reached the tip. Nala could feel the cool air breezing between her legs for a moment before Crause lowered her tail back down, and moved to squat behind her.

Still blushing, the lieutenant slipped her hand up between Nala's legs, making sure to stop before she reached the poor woman's crotch. With her other hand on the opposite side of the dragonborn's thick thigh, she began to slowly stroke her way down Nala's leg.

Meanwhile, the spearwoman was taking her time with Kate, making sure to check every inch of the barbarian's breast for contraband, just to be entirely sure there was nothing hiding under her luscious curves. Finally she began to pull her hands back out from under Kate's top, stopping only to pinch each nipple hard between her fingernails, stopping just short of drawing blood before eventually letting them go.

"Mmm, you like that, don't you," the woman murmured in Kate's ear as her hands slid down either side of the barbarian's well toned belly. "Let's not stop there though, I know something else you'll like much better."

Taking firm hold of Kate's hip with one hand, the spearwoman slid the other down inside the front of the barbarian's grey pants, stroking the woman's crotch gently until her fingertips grazed against Kate's labia. Like a hungry snake her hand immediately slipped down, completely covering the fleshy folds as one finger slowly worked its way between them.

Across the room Kate could see the guards seated by the window, now turned watching her intently. Their eyes catching every second of the spearwoman's unwanted attentions. The older one smiling broadly as the bulge in the front of his pants formed around what must've been a very substantial package, while the younger,friendlier guard shifted in his seat uncomfortably, as though not entirely okay with what was happening, but at the same time loathe to step in to stop it.

On the other side of the room, the short medic was leaning against the edge of the cage, a mean smile on her lips as she too watched the abuse happen. One of her hands had been slipped under her robes close to her waist, and Kate could only guess that the little woman was making sure she enjoyed the display as much as she could before someone stepped in to stop it.
 
The guards and the medic could both see the tips of the hard nipples of both women sticking up from under their tight clothes. Nala was blushing even harder and felt confused about the feelings she was having.

Kate had a pissed off look on her face as she felt a bit humiliated. If this was the first time something like this happened, she might have been more pissed off. However, her background as an escort combined with her own self-hatred made her feel less uncomfortable about someone fapping to her while she was getting molested by another woman. Kate was in this situation before but that was more consensual than this. Lastly, she felt that she deserved this on some level. However she's not one to take something like this completely lying down. Kate felt the spearwoman's fingers pass down her skin and toward her pussy. The guard's fingers passed over Kate's bush before the lips of her pussy was under the pressure from the guard's grasp. She felt a finger worm it's way into her cunt. Kate was waiting for this "search" to be over so she can issue the challenge to the spearwoman. Meanwhile she could do nothing but stand still and get fingered by the woman until either the spearwoman was done with her or until someone stepped in. Her nips were as hard as daggers now and her voluptuous chest rose and fell as her breathing quickened.

Kathleen felt horrible watching Kate getting fingered like this. Though she would be lying if she said she wasn't getting slightly aroused. She can't stand by and watch her friend getting molested though. She steps forward and says, "Hey! That's enough searching down there. She doesn't have anything on her. You know that!"
 
As she was reaching her hands up to check the dragonborn's other leg, Crause heard the rogue cry and and quickly turned her attention away to look over at what was causing the fuss.

By the time she did the spearwoman had already moved one hand back up under Kate's tank top once more, rolling a stiff nipple between her tips and squeezing it just tightly enough to make sure Kate could feel it. Her other hand was still buried between the barbarian's thick, muscular thighs.

[Sleight of Hand check = 15] The base of her thumb pressing hard on the woman's swelling clit as her fingers rhythmically worked their way over her labia, moving in waves in response to the captive's heaving chest. One finger had already wormed its way deeper, and the tip was gently stroking directly against Kate's vagina, causing fluids to dribble down, soaking the front of her pants with a very obvious stain.

Dropping her hands away from Nala's thigh, the lieutenant quickly rose to her feet and took a step towards her subordinate. "For Sune's sake, Mira. At least wait until your off shift and buy the girl a drink first!" The officer barked angrily. [Intimidation = 17]

Blinking her eyes and pulling herself together, the spearwoman Mira lifted her face away from Kate's neck, leaving several deep red marks behind from where she had been sucking and biting on the tender flesh. "Sorry, sir," she responded sheepishly, as she stepped back away from the barbarian but leaving Kate's clothes still in their dishevelled state.

With her tank top pulled to one side, and her pants hanging looser around her waist than she was entirely comfortable with, Kate looked over angrily, and watched as Mira lifted her hand to her mouth to suck her fingers clean. "You taste good," the guard commented, before snapping to attention when the lieutenant took an admonitory step closer.

Glancing over at Kathleen, Crause seemed to pause in a moment of indecision before nodding her head decisively. "Look, I'm pretty certain you people had nothing to do with this," she said, waving vaguely in the direction of the dead body in the nearby cell, "Not unless you decided to travel back to the city after killing the others."

Stepping up in front of the rogue, Crause placed her hands on her hips and looked Kathleen steadily in the eye, "Do you swear by... whatever god it is you worship," she began, her hand waving in the air vaguely at the concept of gods, "That you have not got some sort of cursed blade hidden somewhere on your person?"
 
Nala looks a bit relieved at the examination being over. Her chest rises and then falls as she releases a visible sigh of relief.

Kate notices the stain on the her crotch left after the spearwoman had ruffled her up. She adjusts her top and her pants. Kathleen realizes that the stain which appeared would be uncomfortable. Before answering Crause who is standing in front of her, she leans to the side to get a good view of Kate and casts Prestidigitation to get rid of the stain. She then stands up straight to respond to the captain's question. She says, "No I don't have any cursed blades, or any magic weapon for that matter, on me." Kathleen seems to think of something at that moment and says, "Wait." She lightly pats herself all over to make sure the dying man didn't plant any more invisible objects on her like he did with the tome.

Kate glares at the spearwoman and talks to her. Her voice has the hint of cold anger in it. "You. I've had enough of your shenanigans. First you made my friend pull my top down and now you had your fun with me in front of everyone here in the name of "examination". You think you can get away with stuff like that because you're a guard and I'm stuck here for questioning and know that I can't and won't try to retaliate? Well, I'm not going to take it lying down. I challenge you to a duel. First one to knock the other out wins. Loser does what the winner says for a day." She walks around the girl like a wolf circling her prey. "Well? What's it going to be? You ready to show me you are actually good at your job? Or are you the type of guard that can only act that way when their captive can't fight back?" [Kate - Persuasion]
 
As her hands move over her body Kathleen doesn't find anything she wouldn't already have expected to be there. All her normal weapons and equipment were where she normally kept them, apart from her pants, which were still hanging open a little after having the book stuffed inside the waistline of them. In fact, if the lieutenant glanced down right now, she'd have a pretty good view of the light golden fuzz covering the rogue's crotch.

Instead the officer's eyes were locked with Kathleen's as she seemed to be trying to make a judgment about the young woman. [Insight = 4] After a moment she nodded her head, seemingly satisfied to take the rogue at her words, and reached out a hand, resting it companionably on Kathleen's shoulder. Crause seemed as though she was hesitating for a second, as if preparing to say something, but the moment was broken by Kate's sudden outburst.

Turning away she turned her gaze towards where the barbarian was facing down her subordinate. Mira tossed her head back, and let out a sharp laugh. [Persuasion - Auto Success] "I accept your challenge," the guard replied, with a cocky air, "Gladly."

Stepping passed Kate, the spearwoman began unfastening her breastplate as she made her way back across the room, "Let's make this a fair fight though. No weapons or armour, okay?" There was something about Mira's tone that Kate didn't like, as though there was trickery at play that she hadn't quite worked out yet. "And let's make this challenge official, in the Proving Ground."
 
Kathleen fixes up her pants and wonders if she should try to talk Kate out of it but she decides against it. Nala looks a bit unsure as well.

Kate says to Mira, "You've got a deal. No weapons, no armor. Victory is achieved when you knock your opponent out. No killing. Lead the way." She begins to follow Mira. Kathleen and Nala exchange glances. Kathleen says, "Hey wait up!" and the two women follow their tan friend.
 
"Oh no," Mira replied, a sinful smile spreading across her face, "You challenged me, so I get to set the terms. And I say victory goes to whoever humiliates the other first. Unless the thought of that scares you?" Without waiting for a reply, the spearwoman turned away from Kate, running a hand over her own tight butt as she stepped out of the front door to the guard post.

The other guards all stopped and watched the barbarian closely, caught in a frozen moment as if waiting for something to happen. All apart from the gnome that was, who with nothing else important seemingly happening, had gone back to shuffling paperwork between the desks.

As soon as the adventurers made their move, the two male guards and the short medic were on their feet, excitedly rushing towards the doorway to follow Mira. The second medic turned away, shaking his head with exasperation as he went back to tending the corpse. The lieutenant also paused for a moment, taking the time to retrieve her armour, slipping into the breastplate and pauldrons with practiced ease before reaching for her sword and fastening around her waist.
 
Kate strides through the streets on the heels of the spearwoman. She takes long and heavy strides. Her body is slanted forward and her head looks ahead. The ponytail bobs lightly as she strides forward. Kathleen and Nala follows her. Kathleen says, "Kate! Are you sure about this? What if something bad happens?" Kate doesn't answer but Kathleen can tell from the determined look in the mercenary's eyes that she is not going to get talked down.
