"Must be some good p*ssy, then."she calls back as she steps through the portal.
You appear in a purple torchlit 50' x 50' square room. Four statues are here. Small candles riddle around the statutes. Some sort of organic fluid is slightly smeared on the bases of the statues. You do not recognize who the statues are. You hear a voice in your mind as everyone enters the room from the teleporter before. The four bats rest on one or two of the statues.
"HERE IS COMFORT AND SAFETY FROM THE TERRORS OF UMBRA. REST AND REGAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND WE SHALL BLESS YOU."
Dia smirks. "Let me know if you feel like finding out," she says to Madison before glancing around the room. "Hmmm...taking bets on how long it takes for something to pop up and try to eat us?"
"Sure, i'd give you a test run, you used napkin. Why not. But, I left my gold back in Driftchapel."Madison says back dryly. "I have the feeling we should NOT take up the offer of resting. Love the telepathic communication tho."
"Oh sweetheart, I'll take a soul over gold any day of the week." Dia winks. "And you've definitely still got that." The succubus switches to business. "And I'm going to have to agree on the no resting point. Nothing about this place suggests a friendly place to stay."
“Thats true, but im not letting you have ALL of it just so I can visit Slut Town Population You just once.” Madison remarks, looking over the room. ”Why cant you just take money like a regular whore...”
"I'm always open to negotiation. Nobody ever said it had to be a one for one arrangement. I've had plenty of contracts that involved...regularly scheduled meetings." Dia laughs softly. "And that's because I'm not a regular whore, sweetheart. Sex should be a mutually beneficial arrangement, and I've no use for money." She glances at Villanelle. "If we want the source of the voice, the statues feel like a good place to start."
Years Ago...
Olivia spun a jeweled dagger between her fingers. Bored. Fortunately, she suspected she wouldn't be for long. With Yesenia as a sister, things always got interesting fast. As if on cue, her door slammed open, and Yesenia darted inside. Olivia raised an eyebrow. "All right, what have you done this time?"
Yesenia shrugged innocently. "The Earl seems to have...taken offense at the agreements he signed last night while...distracted."
"You drugged his wine in between forays, didn't you?"
"Didn't even need to," Yesenia said smugly. "He was so eager to partake of my favors, he didn't bother to read what he was signing."
Olivia smirked and raised her wineglass to her ruthless sister. "And thus, Yesenia Foxglove proves once more that there's no problem she won't solve with sex."
"Don't be absurd, little sister." Yesenia's eyes glittered. "Sex is a tool, like anything else. It's hardly my fault that people fail to see it as such. Slut is just a name, and a good whore is one who understands that it's a transaction like any other...and you should get the most out of it on your end possible, like any other negotiation."
The thought sickened Madison. "Great Crown, how many people have you slept with? Actually, no. Don't answer that. Just out of curiosity, exactly how much of my soul does this cost, how does this work, i've never had to sell my soul to bed someone before."
This room is about 50' x 50'. The walls are rough mortared black stone and the floor is loosely packed dirt, littered with black bones and decayed flesh. You can see the occasional gleam of a gem or coin in the dirt, as if the entire room was a treasure room and buried with dirt.
Dia rolls her eyes. "If sex isn't what you're interested in, I offer plenty of other opportunities too. Power, favors, opening certain doors to certain people - although most of that's not very useful here. As for how much of your soul...not much. Think of it as a...connection. The little speck I take lets me draw some power from your soul and turn it into something useful to me. Like these." Her wings unfold, and she takes to the air to examine the statues. "The amount itself is miniscule, really. The connection is what's important."
"This would be the perfect place for you two to do it too," Father muses, using his tendrils to do the digging for him. "In the dirt like the pigs you are~"

Dia smirks. "Villanelle, darling, look up long enough to see what I'm doing, will you?" she says sweetly from where she's airborne examining the statues. "But if you require assistance, I'm happy to provide some." She flicks a finger, and a spectral hand begins digging next to Villanelle. "And Father, I've been called much worse than a pig, so I hope you weren't trying to offend me there. Especially since the way you said that seems to imply you don't see yourself the same way..."
"Not everything is about you, sweetheart," He answers to Dia with a smile, then points to Madison, not bothered by her snide remark back to him. "I was more so trying to offend her." The priest's tentacles could be seen plucking up the coins from the dirt into his hands. "Besides, you probably get off on being called obscenities. That's her job, not mine."

"Uch, Bless the Order, i've give part of my soul just to have you all shut the **** up."Madison sighed. "Can we arrange THAT?"she called out to Dia, sarcastically.
The statues appear to be unnerving life forms that you don't recognize. Twisted, and deformed, but all looking slightly down to the ground. They're made of perfectly smooth black stone, and not a chip or scuff can be found on them. As far as you can tell, they are not alive.
As Father and Villanelle dig, black hands of crushing strength erupt from the dirt and restrain both of you. You take 20 points of bludgeoning damage as you feel your very bones being crushed. The hands slowly start pulling you down. You are considered grappled and restrained.
It's a DC30 STR save to wiggle free, and the hands have 200HP. Reducing a hand to 0 HP frees you. You will be pulled through the "floor" in 3 rounds, and believe me, you don't want that. Or, maybe you do. Because this is a timed event, we'll perform this in a round to round method.
Fathers brows raise in surprise at the hands grappling him suddenly, his visage then twisting to one of disgust. Seething, he says, "Get your hands off me."
The priest casts Spirit Guardians around him. Small specks of black ash begin to surround and attack the hands, causing them to make another DC 18 Wis Save or take 26 damage, half on a successful save!

Dia tsks, eyes flaring with blue fire as she stares at the hand holding Father from the air. "Drop it and leave."
The hand must make a DC 18 Wis ST or drop Father and leave.
