“Come oooon,” she whines, beginning to pump you more aggressively. “You want outta’ this shithole, right? Well, so do I! You don’t want me—fine! Ricky does, an’ YOU want ‘Eka’. The rest is all, like… Set-dressing, right? You do me, I give you the Princess, you get the fuck outta’ dodge an’ me… Me an’ Ricky go our own way! Why draw it out?”
You gnash your fangs, half-consumed with <appetite>.
“We’re not friends,” the succubus pointedly acknowledges, “but we’re, like, birds of a feather. Do me a solid, I do you a solid, we both go our own way. I mean, why not?”
Ekaterine is primed for an elopement and impregnation—that much is true. If your only objective is to spirit her away from this place, this is your best opportunity… Though she may well regret it later, when she regains her faculties. It is a more ‘genteel’ form of the same rape your ejected earlier… But ‘rape’ is no bad word, in your culture, unless perpetrated in defiance of the Fleshweavers’ breeding authority, and you are WELL beyond violating those ancient taboos, aren’t you?
And even if you remain… Well, Irinnile has expended additional energy to render your Princess impressionable, ready for ‘Long Wang’ to seduce. You suspect that keeping the Green Knight under her control will require another ‘kiss’, another donation of mana and power. It will further exhaust you, and empower this out-of-control demon.
What will you do? Will you…
>Abscond with Ekaterine—take her away from the palace, away from her interfering family, on a daring date>Kidnap Ekaterine outright—take advantage of her discombobulated state to escort her far from Hawksong and into your embrace>Visit ‘Eka’ in the waking world, while she is impressionable, and woo her as ‘Long Wang’, without leaving Hawksong or abandoning her position in the royal family thereof>Let Ekaterine continue to stew in the waking world, while you focus on building influence with her familyAnd what of Irinnile? Will you…
>Empower her with another ‘kiss’, to keep the Green Knight under her control for a day or two>Embrace her fully, giving her enough power to leave the city with Heinrich Yosef under her control, and go your separate ways>Refuse her manipulations and seductions, and reject her entreaties utterly>Attempt to seduce the succubus and bend her completely to your will, over and above the Green Knight’s? [VERY high DC, failure has consequences][Write-ins allowed for either, but they better be clever. Having your cake and eating it to results in either instant failure or crazy-high DC
