Brother-Brothel Showdown (RP)

Brother-Brothel Showdown was a short roleplaying session on the FRPG, the phpBB2 version. The full Hungarian-language logs can be read here.

Plot
Something is amiss in the Purple Brother Brothel - few know about it, or rather, only the cause of the bad things knows about it. Some kind of magic was brainwashing the people in this brothel, controlling them, poisoning their minds. Initially here to investigate and put an end to it, Gzaxia Nolánó was influenced too, temporarily getting employed, wearing revealing clothes adorned with precious stones.

Stephánus Tavilrond is also around, albeit not as a customer, but as someone prepared to face the corruption and fight it, looking for its root. Gzaxia immediately runs to him after noticing him, but under the influence of the spell, she attempts to seduce him by rubbing his chin, then by jumping into his neck. In the end, he ends up taking her up to a room, where he begins taking off his armour while she gets onto the bed, but both begin suddenly losing their energy, and the world turns dark, with their vision fading out...

Stephánus wakes up eventually in a dark room - catacombs of sorts - where he hears a familiar voice: that of a wounded Rael Nolánó. Not being able to find his trusty sword, he borrows Rael's claymore and walks into a room, where he begins to slaughter the monsters that dwell there, only to be chased back, forcing him to use magic to lock the door behind himself, giving him and Rael some time to think. After a short discussion about the curse - which Rael claims is some kind of brain-control - they come to the conclusion that the only way to cure it is a Dispell spell, which Stephánus uses to purify Rael of the curse. Rael aftwards informs Stephánus that the building has a crystal in it, which emits the foul mind-altering spell in the building, and that the crystal is also responsible for all the monster they can see, including the skeletons. The duo decide to sneak around to find the crystal, but this tactic eventually fails, when a group of skeletons, dogs and a single werewolf. spot them, and a fight begins. Rael easily destroys the skeletons, Stephanus kicks one to death, and has a vicious fight with the werewolf, first getting punched in the gut, then cutting the monster's leg off, only to get punched in the face, causing a bleeding nose.

After having killed those creatures, the duo finds a key. Stephánus takes it into his pocket, thinking it will come useful one day. Then they proceed to fight a large scaly monster and a lot of slimes, only to be cornered by chasing assassins once they won against the aforementioned monsters. The duo got cornered, and knew there was little hope to win, until one of their enemies suddenly turned to dust - Gzaxia has reappeared, helping her son and her friend beat those evildoers, using Stephánus's sword. Unfortunately, it seems like someone put a berserk spell on Gzaxia, as after killing those who cornered the other two, she began trying to kill Stephánus with the sword, only for the knight to dodge her easily. The same Dispell spell that purified Rael didn't work on Gzaxia. Eventually, Rael somehow manages to calm her down and make the berserk spell go away.

The trio proceeds, killing monsters before arriving into a room with the crystal - Stephánus purifies the crystal while Gzaxia and Rael stand back. The crystal responds to the Dispell spell by violently flying towards a rope, cutting it then shattering. As the rope falls down, so does a sack, containing some of Stephánus's belongings, like his armour. Nevertheless, the violent shattering of the crystal woudned Stephánus as several parts, causing him to bleed and his legs to hurt enough for him to fall to his knees. The knight uses more of his magic to cure himself, barely being able to stand up. Then the dungeon starts to collapse. As the collapse is happening, the trio is attacked by a mixture of skeletons, slimes and brainwashed prostitutes. Gzaxia summons an elemental, which does some of the dirty work for them, while they escape from the collapsing dungeon back to the ground floor of the building.

Gzaxia and Rael agree to leave, while Stephánus finds the owner of the building, threatens him after pointing out his guilt. The owner then turns out to be a wereboar. Stephánus kills him, then returns to his order to report on the incident. Afterwards, the Knights of the Blood Red Light and the Inquisition shows up, killing the remaining monsters (in the process, one knight and two inquisitors get wounded, but none die), arresting all the prostitutes and imprisoning them, slapping their clients before letting them go, then burning the brothel to the ground. Stephánus wasn't present, as he was busy doing paperwork, writing his report about the incident in higher detail than the one he shared verbally with the inquisitors.

Tropes

 * : Rather than some evil wizard or necromancer, .... sigh
 * : Implied to be retrconned as the work of Cradar the Once-Unclean in Cradar's Head.
 * : The monsters that Stephánus and Rael fight in the dungeon are implied to be these.
 * : Just about everyone, save for Stephánus and Rael. Gzaxia gets better eventually.
 * : Gzaxia, trying to kill Stephánus was in her more advanced brainwashed state.
 * : The brothel.
 * : Mind-controlled prostitutes are used as stormtroopers by the evil force that gets defeated in the end.
 * : It's implied that Gzaxia first tried to disguise herself as a prostitute, before the brainwashing magic got to her. Whether she actually did any more work than just dancing, we (or rather, Gzaxia's roleplayer) leave it up to the reader's imagination...
 * : Stephánus and Rael have to go through an ellaborate tunnel system to save Gzaxia, destroy the magic crystal and get back to the ground floor.
 * : The Inquisitors are arresting the prostitutes in the end. At the time, the legal status of prostitution wasn't defined in Titanist countries like Etrand, so it was assumed that it was illegal. Later, it was revealed, that prostitution is very much legal.
 * : Basically what happens in the brothel due to the brainwashing.
 * : Gzaxia temporarily gets infected with it, trying to kill Stephánus. She gets better, thanks to Rael.
 * : Happens to everyone within the brothel save for Stephánus and Rael.
 * : Happens to everyone within the brothel save for Stephánus and Rael.
