The alarm trick worked like a charm and caused the distraction I needed to palm the artifact and shadow it with my illusion powers. I tried to excuse myself, but the svartalfar decided he wanted some companionship... I knew I should have disguised myself as a guy... but then, I'm not sure that would have stopped him either.
I did EVERYTHING I could think of to excuse myself. Ever girl-trick in the book. Getting food, freshening up, getting prepared for his desires... I even kneed him in the crotch. Nothing worked.
I knew the girls were on the way, I'd managed to tip them with a textless text message as our signal that I was in trouble. Well... there was no harm in enjoying myself, right? And... he was quite good....
Though, when they showed up, Tetsuko seemed quite agitated. What the hell was I supposed to do? Blow my cover and get killed?
A scuffle ensued and the svartalfar got the orb away from me (after I'd attempted to get a strike in on him during the fight). That pissed me off, all that work... for nothing. He completed whatever he was chanting and everything went black.
When vision returned, we were in the same place, but no furnishings and it was just us.
Crap.
Tetsuko's still giving me the evil eye... great... is everyone in this group going to be on my case?
