Someone found a strange hole in the sewers, and some guards got pushed in. The really strong associates got called up for this, and for some reason, I also got chosen for this. The hole has taken 5 people already, and the depth is unknown. Apparently the hole was here for a while, but it was boarded up. Zeal approached the hole to investigate, and passed out when he got within 5 feet, and he started to fall down the hole. The combined strength of Serene and Pomba couldn't stop him from getting slurped down the hole with the most disgusting sounds I've ever heard. Serene and I didn't get knocked out as we followed him in, but the hole still made some awful noises as we got swallowed up. That's the only way I can describe it as the inside of the hole feels very wet. I don't know what to feel about how this feels. We wind up in a place with several... I think they're mouths? Surrounding a massive, gaping, moist hole with teeth. There's a purple haze emanating from the big hole, perhaps that's also a mouth, and flowing into the smaller mouths. There aren't any guards here. There's a creature slithering in the haze. It's covered in holes, has tentacles, and a lot of teeth. I hear a voice whispering my deepest desires near me. I later find out that everyone can hear it. It sends a shiver down my spine, but nothing else happens. Serene hits one of the mouths and it closes for a bit. When it reopens, it's somewhere else. Serene starts floating down the big hole, but she quickly flies out and sets up Pomba to spike it into the hole, only for him to trip over on accident. Zeal quickly finishes the creature off, and then an even bigger creature shows up, this one more disgusting than the last, as it squirts some sort of disgusting liquid on all of us. After a bit, it does something that causes us to get sucked closer to the holes. I was standing on the ground right next to one of the mouths, so I start falling into it. It's a good thing I had a fly spell prepared, no matter how bizarre this whole experience was making me feel. Illiam goes down as they try and cast a spell to heal Serene. They're right next to the edge of the hole. Pomba gets stuck in one of the creature's holes for a bit, and the mouths start quivering and begging to be filled. This is unnerving to say the least. The creature plugs one of its holes with Illiam's unconscious body. Serene and Pomba manage to get them out after I heal them up. During this whole fight, the creature, or at the very least something else, is making noises that suggest it's in more pleasure than pain. After Serene spikes it down into the hole, it starts closing up. As it does, one last splash of the liquid knocks me out. As I come to after getting healed up, I feel myself getting pushed out of wherever that was, and we find ourselves sitting around the hole, able to pull the guards out. They seem fine, aside from some holes on them that look rotted. Illiam figures out that it's a curse, and is able to get rid of the holes. After this, I feel like I need a warm bath, that was.... an experience.
