Three weeks later, you stretch, letting piles of valuables drift and clink as they roll to the floor. You feel a little larger, perhaps on par with a
shire horse - if you get much bigger, you'll start finding it difficult to remain stealthy. As you peep open one eye, you see some unanticipated light. Ah. It appears that Gugujib has returned in the intervening time. She appears to be snoozing in a small lizardskin blanket nearby, having lit one of the smaller braziers for light. Well, you'll awaken her soon enough for her report. You can feel
changes in your body...
