Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Cecily asks for backup
Galanoth introduces Princess Cecily, who has come to Ashfall for help against a dragon abducting her people. He explains that such losses have brought many people into the Order of Dragonslayers. The Hero assumes a male dragon has taken princesses and perhaps threatens Cecily herself. She corrects both assumptions: Lascivia is a female dragon who has been collecting local princes, along with some princesses, for years.
The abduction of Prince Enzio, her fiance, finally made Cecily act. The Hero promises to rescue everyone, but Galanoth's offer of protection in Ashfall misses what she wants. She has not come to wait safely while others solve the problem. She has come for backup, and intends to help slay Lascivia and bring Enzio home. Her insistence establishes her as a participant in the rescue rather than its helpless beneficiary.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Captives who want to stay
Galanoth treats the expedition as a rescue requiring discretion. Many of Lascivia's admirers actively resist it, so Hopelessly Devoted asks for ten Devoted Admirers Defeated by knocking them out rather than killing them. Fighting the Feeling then requires finding Everis, Faolan, Ishida, Lyona, and Enzio. Their conversations show why opening the cages will not be enough. Everis likes the place, Faolan professes loyalty despite his confinement, and Ishida says he would stop anyone who tried to hurt the dragon.
Lyona misses home but is unsure whether she wants to leave; she identifies the Drakel guards as the people holding the cage keys. Enzio supplies the explanation for the others' attachment. Lascivia's perfume seems to carry a love spell. New captives remain locked up until it takes hold, after which she uses them as guards and caretakers. He believes he is the only captive not yet falling under it and fears that his own mind will soon begin to slip.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Perfume and dragonscale
Love Potion #9.1 turns Enzio's information into a plan. Rather than persuade the enthralled captives directly, Galanoth proposes redirecting the spell toward the rescuers. Decorative vases contain Lascivia's perfume, and the Hero must gather eight Eau de Lascivia. The tactic uses the dragon's means of control against her, without yet ending the influence that makes her prisoners reluctant to leave.
Leather is Better adds six Dragonscale Leather from the Enamored Guards. Galanoth thinks looking somewhat draconic may help direct the effect, even if the disguise would not fool anyone by itself. The combination is practical imitation: the rescuers will smell like Lascivia and wear the material associated with her guards. It is intended to make the captives follow them out of danger.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Redirecting the spell
Gird your Loins tests the perfume and leather beside Enzio's cage. The objectives require one Perfume Applied, one Leather Worn, and eight Spell Broken. Galanoth warns that admirers may first need to be fought and that the tactic will not always work. Despite the objective's wording, the plan is to redirect their attachment toward the rescuers; the dragon's wider spell remains a problem until she leaves.
The rescuers next need physical access to the prisoners. Get the Keys requires five Cage Key from the Enamored Guards, one for each cage. Open the Cages records five Cage Opened. The scent is meant to make the people inside more willing to follow once the locks are removed. Unlocking the cages and overcoming the spell's hold are separate parts of the same rescue.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - A rescue becomes an army
The plan works well enough that Prince Honfroi responds warmly to the Hero's smell of Drakel leather. Enzio celebrates Cecily's arrival, but Lascivia notices that her captives are being taken. Her guards promise to stop the intruders, forcing the rescuers to hurry people to safety. Once outside, the Hero realizes that they have not freed everyone. Enzio urges Cecily not to return, but she refuses to abandon the others simply because she has recovered the person she came for.
The remaining prisoners are held behind Lascivia, protected by enough guards that Galanoth thinks they need an army. Cecily knows where to find one. She rallies other princesses whose partners have been taken, calling on them to reclaim the men and women whose minds the dragon has twisted. Their enthusiastic response includes a comic delay while one finishes fastening her armor. Galanoth doubts their training, but thinks their anger may be enough to win.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - The guards and their champion
Get Past the Guards requires nine Elite Guards Defeated and one Get Past The Guards. The army of warrior princesses supports the advance into the lair. The rescue has grown from a cautious attempt to avoid notice into a direct assault, with the people who were expected to wait for heroes now helping to force the way through.
Viscyra is the final obstacle before Lascivia. Galanoth describes her as one of the dragon's earliest captives and a fierce, loyal champion. Viscyra'lly Yours requires one Viscyra's Key and one Door Unlocked after defeating her. Beyond that door, Cecily confronts the dragon with the gathered princesses and makes their purpose unmistakable: they have come for their partners, and they are furious.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Lascivia makes an offer
Lascivia attempts to turn the confrontation into another invitation, surrounding Cecily with a pink haze. She asks whether Cecily really wants to hurt her, offers happiness in her company, and says she will forgive the attack on her champion if Cecily takes that champion's place. Cecily rejects the offer and orders the others to attack. The dragon's effort to absorb another opponent into her household meets someone determined to bring that household's captives out.
The Hero is briefly speechless at the battle, while Galanoth insists that they need to fight rather than talk. Lascivia'sness supplies the confrontation's objective, one Lascivia Slain. That label describes the quest's task, but it must not be mistaken for the outcome of the scene that follows. The rescuers press their attack, and the Hero believes they are close to defeating her.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - The dragon escapes
Lascivia interrupts the attack with a burst of pink mist. Hearts float above Galanoth and the Hero as she declares that the Order can have the continent, promising to find a cave in another land and build a new harem. She escapes. The rescue therefore succeeds without fulfilling the literal promise of the Lascivia Slain objective. Galanoth's later account acknowledges the distinction: they have driven her away and freed captives, but have not slain her.
With the dragon gone, the former captives begin to recover, bewildered by what has happened. Galanoth explains that the love spell lasts while Lascivia remains, though people who have spent years under her influence may take longer to recover. Some are still sobbing over her departure. Leaving the lair and regaining independence are not necessarily simultaneous, even after the immediate danger has passed.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - A new Dragonslayer
The Hero assumes Cecily and Enzio can now leave together for a happy ending. Cecily is less certain: it depends on whether Enzio wants to marry a Dragonslayer. Their loved ones are free, but Lascivia is still able to hurt others, and Cecily does not intend to stop until that danger has ended. Enzio's surprise gives way to enthusiasm for the prospect of marrying her in this new role.
Cecily formally asks to join the Order. Galanoth welcomes her and offers to train her, observing that many recruits have lost loved ones to dragons but few recover them alive and choose to keep fighting. She has found a purpose beyond the immediate rescue. Her later conversation celebrates taking action and notes how useful it can be when people underestimate a princess in a dress and tiara.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Dedara finds another prisoner
After the princesses' attack, Dedara researches Lascivia's history. She describes years of enthralling men and women, first confining them and then turning them into servants once their loyalty was secure. Killek Deadchewer was an especially dangerous case: a strong horc warrior, the first to fall under the dragon's influence, whose jealousy led him to kill an entire squad of her guards. Lascivia locked him away and kept him as a weapon of last resort.
Killek remains somewhere in the caverns, still violently obsessed with the dragon. Dedara wants help locating him. Talk to the Guards asks for one Cooperative Drakel Found by besting Elite Guards until one will speak. The apparently helpful guard is Hwuargh. Dedara takes his willingness as a lucky break, while he insists that helping the Hero find Killek must wait until the Hero has repaid the damage done in their earlier fight.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Hwuargh asks for favors
Lascivia Stunk Pretty begins with Hwuargh's professed sadness over the dragon's departure. He asks for five Lascivia's Smell-Good and one Gold Vase so that he can keep some of her perfume. The request resembles an effort to comfort an abandoned admirer. It also keeps Lascivia's pheromones available after she has left the caverns.
You Broke It, You Fix It asks for ten Leather Scraps from guards and admirers. Hwuargh says he needs them to patch the armor damaged by the Hero. Both errands are presented as obligations owed to a bruised but cooperative guide. Their less innocent purpose becomes clear only after the Hero has already supplied the materials.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Behind the boulder
Hwuargh reveals that Killek's cage is hidden behind a large boulder. Elite Energy calls for eight Boom Shrooms and three Special Energy Drink. He claims they will provide the strength needed to move the stone, and welcomes access to drinks once reserved for elite guards. The Hero is gathering the means to reach the prisoner, at least according to the explanation being offered.
No Pillow Unturned sends the Hero through Lascivia's pillows for one Killek's Key and then one Wait for Hwuargh. Hwuargh says the dragon had kept the key beneath her own cushions so that no one could use it without permission. Once the passage is open, he points the Hero into the darkness. The Hero is unnerved, but refuses his offer to put the boulder back and continues toward the cage.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - Killek Deadchewer
Dedara hopes Killek can be subdued and moved to another dungeon until the spell fades, while admitting that he may already be beyond saving. The Hero finds a prisoner who treats every visitor as a rival. Killek calls himself Lascivia's true consort and threatens anyone who would take his place. The Hero denies coming for that reason and tells him that Lascivia has already gone.
That news makes him demand freedom so he can find her. He then recognizes the Hero's voice from the battle and blames the Hero for driving her away. Take Down Killek requires one Killek Defeated, with instructions to knock him out rather than kill him. His fury leaves no peaceful opening for the proposed transfer, and the Hero must subdue him before anything else can be attempted.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - The helpful guard
After the fight, the Hero hopes Killek will remain unconscious. Hwuargh offers to help secure him and carry him out, then tells the Hero to stay inside because it might still be dangerous. The Hero points out having just won the fight but eventually lets Hwuargh take charge. What appears to be assistance lets the guard control both the prisoner and the exit.
Hwuargh begins doing things the Hero does not understand. Killek stirs, and the Hero protests that the guard is waking him. The situation turns into a trap rather than the transfer Dedara had hoped for. Asked what is happening, Hwuargh drops his earlier manner and explains that Killek has a special connection to Lascivia: according to him, the long-enthralled warrior can find her even from miles away once he catches her scent.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - What the errands were for
Hwuargh openly admits using the Hero. The leather scraps were restraints for Killek, the perfume primed his senses, and the Boom Shrooms supplied stamina for their journey. The Hero's fight provided the unconscious prisoner Hwuargh needed to prepare. The guide's apparent grievances and simple favors have all served a plan to return to Lascivia, not to help the Dragonslayers contain her most dangerous follower.
Killek calls for Lascivia, and Hwuargh urges him to lead them to her. They leave the Hero trapped behind them. Dedara eventually comes to let the Hero out after seeing the pair riding away together. She regrets that they could not follow and perhaps find the dragon again, but the Hero has had enough of Hwuargh for the moment. They expect the pair to reappear, and Dedara promises that the Dragonslayers will be ready. Hwuarghly remains as the former guard's replacement in the lair.
Seven Deadly Dragons: Lust - A promise of forever
A separate short scene returns attention to Killek's devotion without resolving where his pursuit will end. In a cell, beside candles and an image of Lascivia, he vows to wait for her forever. A purple presence then addresses a loyal follower and invites him toward a new home. Its words hunger for the sort of dedication he has given the dragon.
The invitation ends in repeated promises of forever, turning Killek's own declaration into an ominous echo. The speaker remains unidentified in this scene, and its exact relation to the guard's escape is unresolved. The image leaves his loyalty exposed to another summons rather than supplying a settled destination or a reunion with Lascivia.
