ai.jpg
I had never seen so many soldiers before. My father had the city gates closed and his own soldiers defending its walls, but four days ago, the unthinkable happened. The city fell.
ai.jpg
My father ordered his remaining forces to retreat into the castle while the Dhorn soldiers plundered his city. Still, I felt safe. The castle had never been taken in its history of well over three hundred years. The Dhorn would never be able to storm it.
ai.jpg
Yet they did. Yesterday, they broke through the main gate, and although the price was high and the defenders managed to push them back temporarily, it was the beginning of Castle Hussein's end. I have been locked up in my room with my maid Shira ever since, praying that the gods would give my father's soldier's strength. But with every passing hour, the sounds of battle come closer and closer.
03.jpg

04.jpg

ai.jpg
*Shiver* Me neither.
shira.jpg
I've heard the stories! The Dhorn are so vile! They're going to chop off our heads! And then they are going to defile our mutilated bodies!
ai.jpg
*Pales.*
shira.jpg
Eeks!! What's that!?
05.jpg


The door to my room bursts open!

07.jpg

06.jpg

ai.jpg
Oh no...
gen.jpg
Please. We really need to hurry!
ai.jpg
But where could we go?
gen.jpg
For the moment we have to get you away from the fighting. Please, follow me, M'lady.
ai.jpg
What about my parents?
gen.jpg
The King has rallied our remaining forces in the throne room. I believe the Queen is with him.
ai.jpg
I wish to be with my parents, General.
gen.jpg
I am sorry, M'lady, but I cannot do that. The King has been very specific in his orders. I am to take you out of the castle, and we are not to return until the situation is under control.
ai.jpg
Please, General! I must!
gen.jpg
I told you, I cannot do that, Princess.
ai.jpg
Very well, Reyer... Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilahi Raji'un.
gen.jpg
Please, follow me now.

The soldiers led me out of my room, their eyes betray their fears. My heart ached at the thought of not seeing my parents again. Allah, why must you test me so?

08.jpg

09.jpg

ai.jpg
Oh no! Shira!!
gen.jpg
We are under attack!
10.jpg


The guards stood fast with the General, but they are overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the opponents.

11.jpg


The General cast a desperate glance. Run. He commanded, wordlessly. And run, I did.

12.jpg


Stumbling in fear, I dashed towards another room, only to be confronted with the smell of rotting corpses.

13.jpg

cap.jpg
Another Betancurian whore, hm?
ai.jpg
I...I am no whore!
sold.jpg
We caught a couple of guards trying to smuggle this wench out through the backdoor, Sir! We killed them all.
ai.jpg
Oh no...Reyer. *Sobs*
cap.jpg
Good...
sold.jpg
I believe that was also the last batch on this floor, Sir.
cap.jpg
Yes, they didn't last very long. A decadent people indeed. *He motions at all the corpses in the room.*
ai.jpg
Our soldiers are NOT decadent!
sold.jpg
This one seems to be a noble, Sir. *The man behind me gives me a shove, making me stumble towards the Dhorn with the helmet.*
cap.jpg
Right. Bend her over.
ai.jpg
*Blinks* What...? No..it CAN'T BE!

The Dhorn behind me grabs my arms and painfully twists them behind my back, forcing me to kneel on the floor.

15.jpg

16.jpg


ai.jpg
*I aimed for the man's knee but missed!* Damn skirts! I...I accept my fate, you barbarian! Allahu Akbar! *Closes eyes*

Suddenly, a lone figure charged forth from the open doorway behind me!

17.jpg

gen.jpg
I WILL NEVER YIELD TO YOU!
ai.jpg
Reyer!

I quickly stand up as Reyer took a swipe at the Dhorn Commander. Reyer's courage knew no bounds, but he knew he is no match at his current state, blood flowed freely from his wounds.

gen.jpg
LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH!

He fell to the floor as the Dhorn Commander parried his blow, and more soldier charged from the doorway. A pool of blood formed where he landed. There's not much time.

18.jpg

gen.jpg
RUN, PRINCESS!

I cannot fail him. My legs took lives of their own and sped me across the hallway.

19.jpg


I looked at the halls beyond and found no help in sight, yet I cried out for help anyway.

20.jpg


There was no reply, save for the rapidly approaching footsteps of the Dhorn soldiers.

21.jpg


I despaired as more and more soldiers emerge. None of them belonged to my father's army. This is...the end? Tears blurred my vision as the corridor grew dark. I closed my eyes and collapsed.

22.jpg

ai.jpg
Someone...please...save me...

23.jpg

24.jpg

ai.jpg
What..?

I look around, blinking. I'm on the floor, in a storage room. Muffled shouts and cries of battle still ring through the castle, but the fighting seems to ebb away slowly.Staggering, I try to get up, to no avail. Dizziness and pain fill my head. I clutch a nearby crate and only then I notice the dark figure looming over me.

vico.jpg
What a pretty little bird we have here...
ai.jpg
What...what happened?
vico.jpg
And the little bird even sings. I wonder what song you'd sing if the Dhorn chasing after you had caught you.
ai.jpg
Who are you?
vico.jpg
Doesn't matter. What matters is that the Dhorn have taken over the castle. They've killed everybody. Did you know that there was a girl called Shanna working in the kitchens? She was only sixteen years old, with big brown eyes you could drown in. She wanted me to show her the seas one day.
ai.jpg
The Dhorns...yes. We have to run before the Dhorn find us! Quick!
vico.jpg
Now Shanna will never see the ocean. But at least King Hussein shared her fate.
ai.jpg
The king is dead?
vico.jpg
He refused to hand over the castle even after the city had fallen. It was a death sentence for everyone, including himself.

No..father would never wished death on his own people...he was...he was...

ai.jpg
*Cries.*
vico.jpg
So tell me, does the little bird have a name?
ai.jpg
I'm Princess Aisha Hussein of Betancuria.

He studies me for a while. I cannot say what's he thinking.

vico.jpg
So it's a dark day for both of us, little bird. You're the only one left alive. You, and a few mice perhaps.
ai.jpg
*Shivers*

He's right. There won't be anyone else protecting me from now on. With father dead, Reyer too...I wondered what this man's motivation in saving my life. Suddenly, I realized his gaze had wandered over my body.

ai.jpg
Please don't look at me like that.
vico.jpg
You're pretty. Not as pretty as Shanna, but pretty enough.
ai.jpg
I..I'm sorry for what happened to your Shanna.
vico.jpg
Yes, me too. Take off your dress.
ai.jpg
WHAT?
25.jpg

26.jpg

ai.jpg
Ma Sha' Allah...why...is this happening to me?*cries*

I really can't believe you are going to go through with this. :lol:

Bookmarked, I will be following it with a grin and much fufufu.

Other than that, Vico is a pretty cool character as Tsundere romances go. You should totally romance him.



Edit:

What class is your princess, anyway? Regardless of what the name may suggest, the game's much more fun with a Sorceress. If you don't go with rogue, however, get Pickpocket/2 at the first chance, as you actually need it to advance beyond a given point. That's the only skill you forcibly need, though.

Looks like some tasteful rape is heading your way. I'm guessing this isn't the OC but some mod instead?

This is basically a legendary Module for NWN...highly recommended by NWN fans. More information here.

I'm not sure. The whole sequence is auto-pilot at the moment, and I'd like to think more about it. I still like the UI. NWN is still the best modern RPG interface and that makes me sad.

That wasn't entertaining, that was... depressing.

Yeah, rape isn't .....fun? I really am just rolling with the punches. But I *think* THIS should be the only R-rated shit in the game, right? Right, guys? Right? *crickets*

*fufufu*

The game is usually described as a western made Fetish Otome game. That means the rape, the humilliation, the abuse, and the romance that somehow shines through all of it is the entire point of the game.

By the end of the first part even a hunting dog will have sexually abused you. :salute:

If anything this is the softest point in the game, as later I remember it starts becoming explicitly described instead of just flying through it like in the beginning.

Didn't you create a character before starting?

Maybe you are using the standard one, then. I believe she is a, uhm, rogue and priest or something.

OK, I'm pretty sure back in the days people were praising this as being mature, awesome, best NWN module, etc.

I'm SURE this was the module.

Amazing. This module is extremely well done! Bravo. And I'm not being sarcastic. Aside from the rape, I can see the details that the creator really put into this game. I really felt like a little girl in a dangerous town.

If Rance is Yang, this is the Yin.

Also PC should have been named Aline Gaddafi and be Chaotic Evil to get in with modern times.

Chapter 01: It's my first time

You can start humming your favorite porn tune now. :/

ai.jpg
No, please...
01.jpg


He grabs my hands, locks his fingers around my wrists.

02.jpg


He's...right...if I scream...we both will die to the Dhorn Soldiers.

03.jpg


ai.jpg
No!!

I struggled. To no avail.

vico.jpg
I said don't move!

His dagger cuts painfully into my flesh, like blazing iron.

04.jpg

ai.jpg
Unh! You..you...
05.jpg

ai.jpg
No! I won't have it! I WON'T!

He is too strong...and as soon as I shifted, his dagger painfully cuts into my flesh once more...

ai.jpg
Ahhhhh!
vico.jpg
Nghhh!
07.jpg

08.jpg

ai.jpg
*Cries*
09.jpg

vico.jpg
Anyway, we'd better be off. I think I've heard footsteps.
ai.jpg
I..I won't be going anywhere with you!
vico.jpg
Sure thing, you can just rot in this cellar. Or you can run to the Dhorn and cry for help.

He...he's right. That bastard...ahhh! I wanted to him to die! This shame! He will pay for this! I...I'm...worthless. So..

vico.jpg
Your dress looks a little torn. Hold on.

He walks over to one of the crates and produces some clothes.

vico.jpg
Here. Put these on.

I put them on.

10.jpg


The clothes fit badly enough, but at least they are clean and smell of soap. He grabs my wrists again and drags me out of the storage room. We passed through several corridors, sometimes going up, sometimes down. I have no idea where we are. Once we even have to climb over a huge pile of rubbish.

Finally, after pushing me up a steep ladder, we enter a dark, ruined house. A number of bodies are lying motionless on the floor, giving off a thick, rotting stench. I feel the bile rising in my throat and doubled over, puking.

He grabs me again and propels me out on the street. Chilly night air greets me. It's dark, a cold wind blows and it smells of rain. Indeed I have only taken a few steps before light rain drops fall down on me. I pull my clothes tightly about me, shivering. There are hushed voices shouting angrily some distance away, but I do not understand what they are about. The sky above the castle glows as if a giant fire burns inside the walls. Mirroring what my life is like right now. Torn apart, razed to ashes. All beauty cast aside by cruelty, inside out.

He leads me on, through dark, empty streets. We never encounter anybody. I feel miserable, yet he forces me to keep up with him. I have no idea where we are going. Finally, we stop in front of a tavern, its windows closed, the door barred. He knocks a few times before we are allowed in. We climbed two sets of stairs and finally reach what seems to be our destination. With resignation, I looked on at the door closing shut, marking the end of my previous life.

This module so far is like watching someone getting tortured, someone who you're supposed to be roleplaying no less. I'll probably not follow this if the mood doesn't lighten up somewhat in the future.

I saw a couple skill checks here and there with options to fight back, are they just flavor or does little princess actually stand a chance at defendind herself against the hungry wolves ? It seemed those you tried all failed, but without knowing the character's stats it's hard to tell if they're forced or if the girl's just weak.
