Before her eyes, Rinko’s trousers dissolved right off her lower body as she donned her new tunic – one she liberated from a recently deceased wizard. She had had her run-ins with cursed items before and almost kicked herself for not taking her newly acquired gear to an expert before using it. An earlier run-in with a certain belt had resulted in a situation just as embarrassing, though at that time she at least got to keep her pants.
Rinko struggled to pull the now excessively petite tunic down to cover her lower extremities, but the damn garment resisted vigorously. She was sure she would need to fight her way out of the tower, but didn’t know how she would be able to. She wouldn’t have time to think about it though, as a guard opened the door to the wizard’s vault.
Rinko hastily picked up her trusty sword and shield, letting go of her tunic. Though her shield better covered her midsection than her earlier vain attempts at modesty, Rinko felt all the more self conscious as her tunic receded back to a position where it covered nothing.
The human guard grinned wickedly when he saw Rinko. She didn’t know if he knew anything about her situation or if he was just getting off to the scene. She wasn’t sure she really liked either option, but at least she might be able to get the guy to talk if she could keep from killing him.
Rinko soon found it was more pressing that the guard did not kill her. He quickly moved in to strike overhead, and Rinko reacted by bringing the shield up to deflect before remembering her situation. Any peek the guard might have seen below vanished quickly as Rinko lowered her shield to cover her modesty. The guard’s sword came down forcefully, though apparently not aimed for a killing blow. The shield took the brunt of the force, and because of the awkward hold Rinko had, she dropped it.
