House of Hellish Harlots v0.035 [Pavitra and Epicratea]

That was a little ambitious.  Realistically, I probably needed an extra day to get this ready, but went for it anyway, and thankfully testing was pretty smooth.  I hope!  It's past 1 in the morning here, so there's a chance I might have missed something.  If so, let me know below.

Unfortunately, I'm still having to use the interim fix of .zip files.  With the monthly release out now, I'm hoping to have a bit of spare time at the start of September to put a more permanent fix in place.

With Huntress Levka and L'iaculatia in the previous release (v0.034) that makes 4 new harlots for the month.  That puts HoHH back on schedule - we're probably only one harlot off where I was hoping to be at the end of Aug before the problems with Amazon while I was trying to republish my short story collections.

Enough of that and time to talk about the new stuff!  We have two new harlots this release.

Pavitra Titalee
Pavitra is the Butterfly Girl from the last poll.  She's intended as a Tier 3 harlot, so don't pay too much attention to her 'only take what is freely given' talk.  She's going to kill you a lot and you'll need outside help to survive her.

Epicratea, the Ebony Succubus
This one is long overdue.  She was the winner of the poll asking which of my existing characters from my stories you'd like to see in the House.  As with Acarina, chunks of her scenario are directly adapted from the story she appeared in ("Oil Wrestling a Succubus").  However, she does get a fair bit of new writing as well.  I also feel like I'm learning from scenarios like the White Milkmaids one.  Originally she was also going to be lots of various stat and personality checks happening behind the scenes.  While those scenarios generate variety, they're not good for player interactivity, so I added player choices this time.  Whether those choices are good or bad will change depending on your character's stats and personality.

Epicratea is intended as a Tier 2 harlot.  Her stat requirements are fairly easy to meet, but it might take a while to figure out what's going on with her scenario.

It's getting late here, so I'll leave it for now.  If you run into any problems, let me know in the comments below and I'll look into them when I wake up tomorrow.

Also, if you haven't already voted, I posted part 4 of the Harlot 50 Popularity Poll earlier the same day, so check the previous post.

That'll be all for now.  I hope you enjoy playing with the two new harlots!
