After half a month bogeying the bogeymen with my silver whip, it was time.
I entered the lair and stripped to my bare legs, it wouldn't be ideal if I needed a quick escape but I couldn't risk my one remaining arm. I steeled my nerve ready to battle the occupant, I didn't want to do this to myself but if I were to continue my adventuring and go for the titan as my Lady had requested I would need the arm the alligator took from me.
I ventured further in and my gaze rested upon the accursed...Werepanda! His voice, a gravelly rumbling, informed me he'd killed bigger and better than myself. I doubt it.
We circled each other and my battle hardened combat skills kicked in, I reflexively dodged every move he made, I would need to go against my instincts if this was to work. I stopped and the Were seeing his chance dove for my foot, and grabbed it with his mouth tearing the skin. I was thrown to the floor and realised I had what I came for, I lashed out at his legs but missed as he ripped my foot from my leg. I howled with pain but my unconscious mind was seeing things I did not, as if possessed my whip cracked and it was all over, the Were fell forward his skull caved in, the battle won.
I stripped down feeling the change coming and left the lair, I crawled away for a few tiles before coming down to take stock of myself, wait, I felt...good, I had started running without noticing it! My arm was there, but...different... covered in.. some sort of fur... I smiled a sharp toothed grin. Ilda Searchgrown the Worried Belts of Amazing was back!
