Running a dungeon wasn't easy, but moments like this made it all worth it for Lady Malia. She was seated in the heart of it all, surrounded by vast treasures and powerful artifacts that adventurers desperately craved. Not only was Malia the most powerful sorceress in the past century, she made sure everyone knew just how weak they were compared to herself.
The Dungeon of Deviancy was her pride and joy, a gauntlet of traps and monsters designed to turn the roughest of adventurers into pathetic sluts begging to be abused. Many bands of warriors had stormed her sanctum in a vain attempt to get their hands on her treasures. From the Staff of Binding to the Circlet of the Fifth Eye, there were all sorts of powerful tools one could potentially plunder. But for all the brave adventurers who tried to take it, none had succeeded. Malia ensured that everyone had an equal chance of taking her down, but thanks to her skill for planning and unparalleled magical talent, few even made it to her chambers. And those who did were met with the harsh reality that they never stood a chance.
Currently Malia was relaxing on her throne, watching over the rooms of her dungeon with a crystal ball, letting her most recent acquisition eat her out. Pepper used to be a rogue, and she'd tried to bypass most of the chambers. She had even made it further than most. Unfortunately for her, she was caught by a sneaky mimic disguised as a treasure chest. After being pulled inside the chest and spending the next several hours with her holes plugged and vibed, Pepper decided her place was on her knees at the feet of her Mistress. Now she spent her days locked in a chastity belt, using her mouth in hopes that someone will reward her by turning up the vibes trapped inside of her.
The dungeon was lively as ever. Malia was watching her lieutenants patrol the corridors when a voice brought her back to reality. "Urgent news, Lady Malia, from the front entrance!" Malia glanced up from her scrying orb to see her head assistant. Few members of her dungeon were allowed to address her with such informality, but Tayo had proven their competence enough times. Normally they would ask for permission to speak, and the fact that they hadn't was enough to cause alarm.
Whatever the situation was, it had to be serious. Malia set down her crystal ball, and while Pepper's tongue was still deep inside of her, she gave her assistant full attention. "What are we dealing with? Is anyone in danger, and do we need to start emergency procedures?"
Tayo shook their head in response. "Everyone's fine, but I'm afraid this will require direct action. There's someone outside the steps who you need to speak with. I'd explain it to you, but... it would be best if you saw for yourself. I can assure you that dealing with this person takes precedence over everything else we have planned for the day."
Malia's brow furrowed in confusion. Who could be outside that would warrant such a response? Maybe it was another sorcerer with skills on par with her own, or a large-scale revolt from the nearby town. But in either of those cases Tayo would've simply informed her of such. "Very well, I'm on my way to the entrance." She waved her hand towards her assistant, causing them to shudder as their magical buttplug hummed to life. Tayo moaned as their precum dripped from their cock and onto the floor. "Keep things running smoothly until I return."
Tayo saluted in response as the Dungeon Mistress stood up. Pepper moved back, and although she wanted to ask something, she knew better than to speak out of turn. Malia adjusted her robes, recast a magical ward for the area, and began the journey towards the entrance. As she closed the door behind her, Tayo's voice could be heard. "Come here Pepper, let me give you a few more pointers on cunnilingus. Mistress will need some good stress relief when she returns."
The dungeon itself was rather large. It was filled with multiple sections, each with their own twists and turns, and anyone who didn't know the way would find themselves running in circles. Lady Malia was taking the most direct route to the entrance, which meant going through one of her favourite areas. The mechanized sector. The corridors were lined with gears and levers, with steam pumping out of valves here and there. It wasn't uncommon for adventurers to hear she was a mage and assume the dungeon was purely magical, only to be caught with the wonders of science.
Malia's thoughts were interrupted by a cry of warning. "Woah boss, watch your step! I just set up a new wave of traps, give me a moment to turn them off." The sorceress paused while the sounds of hammers and wrenches filled the room. Malia cast a simple detection spell to see for herself what was happening. Sure enough, the chamber she'd been about to enter was filled with pressure plates, tripwires, and sensory runes. One more step and the room would've been chaos.
After some more banging and a particularly loud THUD, the engineer behind it all crawled out from her alcove. Keensa was a busty little goblin with a particular knack for machinery, and she was always inventing new ways to deal with intruders. "Sorry about that," she began, wiping the oil and grime from her hands onto her equally filthy apron. "I've been going a little nuts with this place, and it's not properly rigged up just yet. Right now it's just as dangerous for us as our enemies."
The sorceress raised an eyebrow. "And you were concerned for my safety? Come now, did you really think you had something powerful enough to trap me?"
Keensa barked with laughter. "It's not you I'm worried about, boss. I doubt there's a single mechanic on this continent that could build something capable of restraining you." She kicked a loose piece of metal between them. "I'm more worried about my babies getting hurt. These suckers take a long time to set up, and I'm not planning to stress test them against your destructive power. I'm good, but I'm not that good." Keensa sighed, a frustrated expression on her face. "Besides, some idiot came through here about an hour ago. Set off most of the traps prematurely, while I was still setting the rest of them up. Another setback is the last thing I want."
The last point caught Malia's interest. "Anything unusual? There's been a potential red alert, and I want everyone to be particularly diligent."
The goblin tapped her chin, contemplating the probabilities. "I'm not sure, but I doubt it. Truthfully, I don't even know who I caught. You can see for yourself." Keensa ran off to the side of the room to pull a hidden lever. A system of pulleys along the ceiling began to whirr, and after a moment a bound form swung down into the room.
It was impossible to tell who - or what - exactly was trapped inside. The figure was undeniably feminine, but it was thoroughly wrapped in a series of bandages, comparable to a mummy. It wriggled in midair, suspended by a hook from the ceiling, completely unidentifiable. "Sorry, let me just..." Keensa trailed off as she fiddled with the controls a bit more. With a click the bandages fell away, but given what was underneath, it made little difference.
Beneath the mummification was a thick set of black leather restraints. Her arms were in a tight armbinder and her legs were secured together by a series of belts. Between the combination of her catsuit, a hood, a blindfold and a shiny red ballgag, not an inch of skin was showing. Keensa had a sheepish expression. "Look, I told you she set off a whole bunch of traps. For all I know, it could be a member of our team. I was planning to leave her like this until I had everything back to normal, but I can let her out early if you want."
Malia waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. "That won't be necessary. If she was related to the problem in any fashion, I highly doubt she's a threat anymore." The sorceress stared directly at the bound woman, raising her voice to ensure her next point got across. "And if it happens to be a member of our team under there, then she deserves to be up there even more. Learn to deal with the consequences of your carelessness."
The trapped woman squirmed in place, though it was impossible to tell whether it was in response to Malia's words or just a coincidence. Keensa made her way back to the control panel. "Right then, I'll keep her here until the room is set up nicely again." She pressed a button, and a muffled scream could immediately be heard from her victim, as well as a firm buzzing noise. "Whoops, wrong button." Keensa fiddled with the controls a bit more, and the pulleys began to whir, pulling their hooked captive away behind the scenes. Although the buzzing sounds continued behind the scenes. "Good luck with the situation boss, whatever it ends up being!"
Keensa went back to her workshop as Lady Malia continued on her way. She kept a careful eye out for further traps, but her mind continued to wander about who could be at the entrance. The situation was important, but not urgent. It was a problem worth immediate attention, but not one that put the dungeon itself in danger. Perhaps something went wrong with the warding spell? The entire dungeon was protected with a wide variety of protection charms, ranging from basic defenses to a ward that prevents children from entering. But for all of their skills, Tayo was no magical expert, and the intricacies of the spells around the dungeon were far beyond their knowledge. It must be related to the individual person waiting outside of her steps.
"Maliaaaaaaa." A whiney voice echoed through the corridor. The Dungeon Mistress groaned as she realized who was coming. A fairy the size of her hand was flitting towards her, still complaining as she traveled. "Bruna won't let me play with the paladin, and she keeps trying to mess with my boy toy, even though she promised I could have him."
