Scarlett pulled into the chair at the head of the table. Tonight was her turn to run a one off adventure in their game.

"Okay, is everybody ready?"

There was a general mutter of agreement from Zoe, Amber, and Jess.

"Cool! So, you were on your way to the Duchess's next suspected hideout, when you came across a caravan under siege! Gargoyles were swooping down, attacking the wagons. Their guards were being squished, shredded, and in general overwhelmed. When they see your party approaching over the horizon, they call to you for help."

Zoe looked at the others. "Well ladies?"
"Let's do it!"

They put down their minis. As was usual for these games, they switched up character classes between games to keep things interesting.

* * *

Tonight, Amber was playing the wizard. She wore a dark yellow hood drawn close to her face, cloaking her in mystery. Scrolls, potions, and other arcane trinkets clinked from the folds of the sunflower robe. A revealing cream leotard could be made out underneath the otherwise baggy outfit.

Jessica decided on a paladin, insisting that the party needed an armored tank with some healing. Sunlight glinted off the steel breastplate and razor sharp glaive she wielded. Forest green leggings ended in a pair of well worn greaves.

After their recent encounter under the docks, Zoe had picked up druidry. She resembled a classical nymph in appearance with her leafy short dress. A variety of flowers bloomed around her waist, adding a splash of color. The skirt reached her thighs where her bare legs showed.

* * *

After putting down her mini, Zoe looked to Scarlett. "This is all outside right? Little Joey can play?"

"Yes, definitely bring Joey."

* * *

Zoe walked along side her animal companion, Little Joey the Tyrannosaurus, as they approached the havoc of battle.

*SQUOOOOSH*

Another caravan guard fell from the sky, dropped and splattered for fun by the gargoyles. Not many defenders remained. The wagons were surrounded by dozens of splats, some pink, some brown, some green.

The Gargoyles themselves looked like beautiful women with stone-grey skin. They wore small flimsy ice blue shirts, torn all over from previous fights. They all had wings, tails, and as several guards discovered, very sharp claws and talons.

* * *

"Scarlett?"

The GM finished putting pieces on the table. "Yeah Amber?"

"Are those just custom minis from that time you cosplayed as Demona?"

"...Yes?"

"Okay, just checking."

* * *

The ladies looked at the battle in front of them. Zoe gave Little Joey a pat on the tail. "Let's go, I think it's snack time!" Everyone charged in.

Jessica had to shout to the others could hear her. "I'll see what I can find on the ground. Zoe, you and Little Joey take whoever flies down. Amber, take care of the rest."

Everyone nodded. "Got it!"

* * *

Joey ran towards the caravan with surprising speed.

One of the gargoyles was hovering outside a wagon, threatening its occupants. "Your vanguard is ruined! Just give us the money, and...what the?"

A shadow fell over the gargoyle. Her hair fluttered in the wind as Little Joey sniffed and snorted behind her. "Uh oh."

*CHOMP*

The wagon occupants saw their assailant disappear into the dinosaur's mouth. Little Joey looked in, and grinned a goo filled toothy grin. The dino turned and roared, spraying the gargoyle onto the side of the wagon like graffiti. When Joey was done, she was painted on lying down in a sexy pinup pose.

His work finished, Little Joey trotted off to find more playmates.

* * *

"Yeah! Get 'em Joey! Use those art lessons!" Zoe cheered while trying to catch up. She continued looking overhead for a target as she ran. "Now who wants to play with Zoe today?"

"Whoooa!" She was answered by taloned feet pinching her shoulders and lifting her into the air. After the initial surprise, Zoe turned to check out the gargoyle carrying her. "I mean, you are cute, but I didn't ask you for a lift."

The gargoyle rolled her eyes as it flew higher. "You adventurers are all the same. All talk, flatten the monsters for their stuff, never considering what happens when they splat. Anything you want to say before you join the other puddles on the ground?"

Zoe grinned. "If you put me down and stop the assault here, I can promise you a good time tonight."

"No deal." The gargoyle let go, and looked down to watch the cute druid splatter.

She didn't see her latest victim falling.

The gargoyle turned around, searching for the human. Floating in the air behind her was a much more cloudy looking Zoe. Her colors were the same, but she was generating random puffs that floated around her, and her body rippled in the breeze. Stranger, her legs ended in something resembling a genie's tail.

Zoe leaned back to lie down and relax in the breeze. "You haven't run into many adventurers that can turn into air elementals have you?"

"Well that's new." The gargoyle flexed her fingers and brandished her claws. "Maybe you'll actually be fun!"

She charged through the air at Zoe.

Zoe didn't try to dodge. She wound up her arms and started spinning, and spinning until she was a green whirlwind. Splashes of her tan skin and dark hair highlighted the tornado, and a band of pink from her flowers surrounded the center.

The gargoyle realized what was happening too late. Her arm got caught inside Zoe, stretching as she tried to pull back. She was dragged in, wings and legs stretching out several feet as they were sucked up, while she desperately tried to will her body to fly away, but Zoe was too strong. Her face grimaced on the end of her stretched out neck, and was the last piece to snap inside the tornado.

"Oh shi-"
*WHLLLLLLL*

Zoe briefly had swirls of grey spinning through her. A wing or an arm would reach out, once even the gargoyle's tail, but there was no escape.

They vanished in a large poof of green and tan smoke. The green cloud drifted aside before coalescing into Zoe's air elemental shape. "Your first lesson was a free one, so I went easy on you. When you learn some manners, I'll teach you the real stuff."

The gargoyle hung in the air in a tangled mess. She was spun up inside her arms and legs, her head sticking out one end. Her tail came out the other end, wrapped around her waist, and tied into a little bow with her hands above her back. The only other discernible part of her were her boobs sticking out the front.

"Why you!"

Zoe winked and blew a heart shaped puff of herself towards her foe. "Next time."

The gargoyle fell end over end to the ground, before splattering into a grey mess.

"Shame, she really was cute." Zoe looked around, and flew towards another opponent.

* * *

Amber and Jess were running through the caravan, looking to help however they could. With flying monsters, and their team mates stealing the show, that left them mopping things up on the ground. Jess was mostly patching up caravan guards, while Amber kept a look out for trouble.

"Good work Jess. I guess we got all of them."

Jess nodded. "Yeah, I think we're good- No wait behind you!"

Amber turned around as Jess ran past. One last gargoyle was hovering in the air, floating towards them. She flexed her claws, awaiting Jessica's charge.

Amber thought for a second. "Ah! Got it!" She pointed at the gargoyle, and a blast of cold flew at her.

"Huh? Wha-...BrRRRRrr"

The last attacker was encased in ice an oversized ice cube. She plummeted towards the ground.

Right on top of Jessica.

"Amber tell me when you're going to do-!"
*CRRRSSSSSH*
*SQUOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

Jess disappeared under the gargoyle, before it shattered into hundreds of pieces. Amber sifted through pile of ice cubes, shoving aside frozen wings and eyes, uncovering her pancaked paladin.

Jessica didn't look too bad. She was four feet across and only two inches thick, face and purple hair smushed on a coin of steel armor.

"Sorry Jess! Hey, at least we shattered the last one?"

"Yeah. I can claim the assist for distracting it." Jessica concentrated, her disk bulged, and *POP* she forced her body back to normal.

* * *

The ladies high fived around the table. Scarlett gave them a slow clap.

"Good team work everyone. The gargoyles are down, and with Jess already helping, you're getting everyone restored in no time."

Jessica raised her arms victoriously. "Woo! Glad I could pitch in. Once we're done here though, what are we really doing tonight?"

"I'm glad you asked." Scarlett double checked her notes. "You finish getting the caravan back in order, while keeping the gargoyles smushed. It takes a little longer to clean up Joey's paint job, but everyone there has a good laugh."

Amber and Jess gave Zoe a high five in honor of the dinosaur.

"Anyway, the managers say thanks, and give you a nice payment for your assistance."

Everyone wrote the reward money down.

Scarlett continued. "A few caravan members mention that if the three of you are tired, there's a good bath house just down the road. It's always been a good place to relax, but they've heard rumors about people disappearing there lately. If you're as capable adventurers as you look, maybe you can help."

Zoe laughed. "Of course Scarlett sends us to a spa! You just want to talk about our characters naked." She stuck her tongue out at Scarlett.

Scarlett blushed a little. "No, not that! I mean, I wouldn't mind it, but come on now."

Everyone laughed.

"Okay," Amber said, trying to get things back on track before Scarlett couldn't continue. "So we thank them and go to check out this spa."

"Right. It's about a half hour walk away. It's a decent sized building near a large pond. You can smell the flowers and see the sunlight reflecting off the water. It looks very relaxing. You walk into the wood paneled entry room. There's a lady behind a desk to welcome you, and-"

Zoe cut her off. "I ask for their best back massage."

Scarlett smiled and pulled a page out of her notes. "Right this way madam!"

* * *

They followed a young woman into the back. "Here we are. Please lie down and relax." She was helping Zoe get settled on the massage table over Jessica's objections.

"Zoe, we haven't even checked the whole place out and you're on vacation?"

"Look, you two can go exploring, but I'm going to actually try and relax. My everything feels twisted after spinning around earlier."

Amber shook her head. "Come on Jess, let's ask the hostess if she knows anything."

Jess lingered a little longer, watching Zoe take off her dress and settle in.

"Aaaaahhhh" Zoe lay down on her stomach, resting on her boobs as she settled in.

The spa employee studied Zoe's back. "Oh my, your back does need work. Let me get my-"

At that moment a giant troll broke through the walls, wielding a large spiked hammer. The poor masseuse was flattened, crushed under boards and troll, spread out to twice her normal dimensions like a sticker on the floor.

Zoe rolled over on the bed and glared at the troll and its large meat tenderizer. She sat up. "Oh, so you want to dance? Just wait until I grow into a-PLEEEEH!"

*SPLAT*

The troll wasn't waiting to see what Zoe was rambling about, and brought the hammer down. Zoe was squished into a pancake on the table. She was three feet wide, but still a few inches thick. Little indentations marked where the hammer's teeth hit her. Her face dominated the top of the cylinder, tongue lazily sticking out, her eyes glazed over.

"Mmmm, not bad actually. A little lower this time though."

*WHAM*

Zoe spread out another two feet, starting to drip off the sides as her body lost cohesion. Her face was squished to the edges of the pancake, and this time her breasts were smeared across the top.

"Aaaaaah that's more like it. Now, can you use more pressure? I can promise a better tip!"

"WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*

"Yyyyeeeeeeeahhh..." Zoe was obliterated into a tan glob on the table, oozing and cascading down the sides into a large puddle. Strands of Zoe goo stretched up towards the troll's hammer as it pulled back and turned away.

Seeing Zoe splattered finally snapped Amber and Jessica out of their surprise. "Okay Amber, I'm going to try and cut it down, you get ready to burn it so it doesn't recover.

Jessica moved in and slashed at the troll with her glaive. The troll swatted it aside, and slammed back with its hammer. Jessica hopped backwards, and saw the troll was not as quick to recover from a miss as Jess was with the glaive. She aimed for the shoulder.

*SHWIP*

The troll stepped back, but its hammer and left arm were left behind on the ground. It growled angrily and swung its remaining fist at Jess, trying to pummel her into the ground. Jess danced to the side again as the troll punched the ground.

*WHAM*
*SHWIP*

The troll's remaining arm was now also stuck on the floor. Both arms slowly tipped over, loudly thudding to the floor.

Jessica was laughing at her handiwork. "See Amber, I told you it these things were 'armless!"

This got the troll really angry. It jumped towards Jess. She didn't try to dodge, and put her glaive into position to run it through. She was willing to sacrifice some height to land a big hit.

*SLAM*
*SQUOOOOOSH*

Jessica's glaive went straight through the troll, so much that the blade was sticking out its head. Unfortunately, she was under its claws, splattered on the floor. Jess looked like a brown and purple sunburst around a steel center, globs of paladin creeping out of her squished armor.

"Jess! Nice stab, I'll get you out!"

Amber took one step forward before the troll grunted. Its shoulder blew up to the size of a beach ball, and a new arm burst forth, still dripping green. It promptly reached for the spear jutting out of its mouth.

Jessica's splat yelled urgently to Amber. "Trolls regenerate quickly if you don't burn them! Hit it with a fireball!"

"What about you?"

"So you'll need a mop instead of a spatula! Just fry this thing!"

Amber nodded grimly, pulled her elbows back, and spewed fire at the beast.

*FWOOOOOSH*

The troll stood charred, hand still on Jessica's glaive. Underneath it was a bubbling puddle of Jessica's steel, brown, and purple, creeping and oozing towards Amber.

The troll fell back, poofing into a large pile of green dust when it hit the ground. Jessica's glaive clattered to the side. Amber looked for a broom while Jessica struggled to restore herself.

Zoe bubbled near the table, half forming her head out of some of the goop to complain. "Hey! Who turned the heat down?"

* * *

Everyone looked at Zoe. "What, my character can't like things?"

Jessica picked up a piece of paper and made exaggerated writing motions. "Get, Zoe, hot, stone, massage. Got it."

Amber and Scarlett laughed. Scarlett was fanning herself to keep her composure listening to Zoe's descriptions of events.

"Okay then! You clean up the troll and make sure it won't be bothering patrons any time soon. You get yourselves solid again, and help restore the masseuse.  Then what?"

"Oh!" Zoe was waving her arms for attention. "Do they have baths here? My back rub was really good, I want more pampering!"

"No hot tubs in these parts, but they have mud baths. Your masseuse gives you a bathrobe to walk between rooms."

Zoe raised a finger in excitement. "Sold! To the cute druid!"

Amber and Jess looked at each other and laughed. "Okay Zoe, but..."

* * *

The mud bath room was covered in stone tiles. A decent sized pool filled with warm mud dominated the area, filling most of the floor space. It was bubbling gently, but the temperature in the room felt just right.

Amber hesitated waking in. "I can't believe that was the only threat here."

"Oh come on girls. First of all, my back feels GREAT. Second, with the troll not knocking down walls anymore, we can really relax!" Zoe slipped out of her bathrobe and waded into the mud, swaying her hips to encourage her friends to join her.

Amber and Jess paused to stare at Zoe saunter in. Jess blinked a few times, shrugged, and started taking her own plate mail off. "Okay, your butt has convinced me. Wait up!" She put her gear in the corner next to Zoe's.

Amber sighed and took her robes off too. "You're crazy, but I guess the company's good. Not like I'm less effective without armor anyway."

Zoe laid back and sank into the welcoming mud until only her head and collar bone were visible. "Mmmmmm. You two should get in here, this is greAAAATE!"

*GLUMP!*

Zoe's head disappeared into the mud. Her hands reached up, thrashing around, but they disappeared after a short struggle. A large bubble surfaced, signaling something was very wrong.

Amber looked at Jess, who was already up to her ankles, and looking worried. "Uuuuuh, what do we do Jess? Do you feel anything?"

She wiggled her toes in the mud. "It feels...wiggly? Almost alive. Whoa, what is that?!"

A head started forming on the pool. Mud swirled up and around it, forming a large female figure. Every now and again something punched and struggled inside it, presumably Zoe.

"It's a mud elemental, get out of there!"

Jess tried to stumble back, but her ankles were being held in the mud. "Ack, I'm stuck! Throw me my glaive, maybe we can at least cut Zoe out!"

Amber ran to their belongings and got the glaive. "You ready Jess?"

"Yes just throw it ov-MMMMPHMMMMMMPHMMMMPH"

The elemental raised its arms, and extended them into streams of mud, flowing straight into Jessica's mouth. Jessica's naked body began to bloat as it filled with watery earth. Her stomach ballooned out, then her butt. Her legs wiggled out to the sides in a split as her bottom filled, and once she couldn't grow down, the mud started inflating her boobs. Her eyes rolled back as her chest jiggled into larger sizes. She was trying to waddle away from the elemental, but the mud inside her was sloshing around, tipping her balance back into the pool.

Amber was stunned, staring at her friend getting bigger. Once Jess was several feet across, stomach sagging over her legs, she finally snapped out of it. "Aaaaah! We can't all get stuck here. Uuum, mud, mud...Ah!"

Her eyes sparked red, and flames surrounded her. She slammed the butt of the glaive to the ground like a staff, dramatically windmilled her arm down, and raised her open palm to the ceiling.

"FLAMES!"

Everything in the mud bath disappeared into a pillar of fire.

When the flames died down, the mud elemental stood still in a much drier pool. Instead of a runny mucky mud, it had a stiffer pottery texture. Robbed of its moisture, cracks formed in its body. Its arms collapsed to dust, and flakes of the creature scattered, before it collapsed into a pile of loose dirt and rubble, and sank deep into the empty pool.

Once it crumbled away, it revealed a classical statue of Zoe resting on top of the dirt. She was pretending to be worried about covering herself up, arms doing a poor job of covering her large assets, but her face was winking and sticking her tongue out.

In front of Amber was Jess. She was still huge, but her skin tone appeared glazed onto her body like pottery. Her eyes looked around nervously as her stiff body was rocked by the disintegrating mud elemental beneath her. She rolled into the empty pool, towards Zoe.

"I feel like I'm full of baked rocks," muttered Jess.

Amber giggled. "Babe, I think we let you bake in the kiln too long. Oh, and watch out for Zoe."

Zoe felt Jessica's weight pressing down on her, and knew she didn't have a chance. Cracks ran through her everywhere. She felt her arms and legs breaking off, bringing Jess down on the rest of her with full force.

*CRRRRRRNCH*

Zoe was mostly a pile of tan dust, but a few discernible shards remained to watch Jess crash into the wall.

*DINK*

Jessica struck the wall at the bottom, and a large crack appeared through her expanded butt.

"Oh that can't be good." She could feel the tingling sensation of her body breaking apart. "Amber, you should have let it finish filling me up. That would be a much better ending than-"

*CRRSSSSSSSSSSHHH*

Jessica shattered into several large chunks of clay. Most of the fragments exploded into smaller shards and dust as they hit the ground.

Amber rubbed her temples. "Uuugh, we're going to be here a while."

* * *

Scarlett looked at Amber. "Well, the threat is gone. Now you just need to reassemble your friends. You're all strong adventurers though, I'm sure you'll be okay."

Zoe was still mock complaining to Jessica about getting shattered. "Are all mud elementals this rude? I thought you were supposed to ask a girl before devouring her."

Amber scratched her head at the table. "Scarlett, they were practically statues right? I don't suppose a mending spell will work on them?"

Everyone laughed. "Nope. Sorry babe."

Amber scratched her chin. "Alright, so if I need to put them back together after getting completely dried out, and we need to keep investigating this place anyway..."

* * *

Amber gathered the pieces of Jessica and Zoe into a cart to take down the hall. She ran her hand through the chunks of her friends, teasing them as she walked into the next room.

"Okay ladies, welcome to the sauna."

Amber tapped her robe, and the material twisted and shifted into a bathrobe. She dumped her friends out of the cart on to the floor, and got to work piecing them together.

The added moisture in the room helped Amber mash her friends back together. She started by smushing the larger chunks of Jess back together, since she was not ground to dust like Zoe was. Soon, the mound of Jessica clay started wobbling and moving on its own, shaping itself into Jess's upper half.

She rubbed her head, then looked at the rest of the pile. "Ow...thanks. I think. I can gather the rest of me. Can you get some water for Zoe?"

Jess finished piecing her legs together while Amber filled a bucket with water. Once Jess was whole again, they gathered Zoe into a pile, and dumped the water on her. A little mixing and stirring, and her body rose out of the mix, happy to be in one piece again. "Thanks!"

Their work finished, Amber grabbed a towel to wipe sweat off her forehead. She saw too much of her own skin tone soaked into it. "Whew, and just in time too. Looks like I need to get out of the heat before you're restoring me."

Zoe and Jessica laughed while Amber put her towel in a hamper in the corner.

*WHAM*

To everyone's surprise, the hamper slammed itself shut on Amber's arm.

"What the?"
*SHHHHLLLRRRRRRP*

The basket slurped up Amber's arm, drinking her melting body. Her feet and legs shrank into her body as she lost mass, making her melting body fall with a soft wet *Splat!* She fell back and her back splattered on the floor, before the basket tugged her entire melting body into a peach glob against its side. Amber was mushed against the lid, ripples going through her gooey body as it shrank and disappeared inside.

"What the heck?!" Zoe stared incredulously.

Jessica looked around for her weapons. "It's a mimic! Quick, hit it with stuff."

"What about Amber?"

"She'll be fine as long as we crack this thing open!"

The mimic cackled, its lid bouncing and clattering, showing off its sharp teeth full of melted Amber goo. Two tentacles erupted from the sides of the box, and it wobbled forward. It swung one at each woman, slamming the ground in front of it.

Jess swatted one aside with her glaive.

"Oooof!" Zoe took the other on the head. The force squished her to half her height, her legs and boobs doubling in size as she compressed.

Jess swung her glaive wildly, trying to give Zoe some time. "You okay there?"

Zoe's squashed face contorted with rage, and she started glowing red. "Yeah. This thing is making me angry!"

She grabbed the tentacle on her head with her misproportioned arms, and burst into flames.

"KKKYYAAAAA!" The mimic yelped and tried to pull back from the short fire elemental standing in front of it. It was not keen on being burned to a crisp today.

That distraction gave Jessica the opening she needed. Her overhead strike was swift and powerful.

"HYA!!!"
*SHWP*

The mimic slowed, and a dark vertical line appeared at a slight angle down its center. It fell neatly in half, spilling Amber everywhere.

Zoe's fiery form lifted a fist triumphantly, and an aura of flames swirled around her. "Nice! Now we just need to mop up Amber before...uh oh."

The peach goop was already being pulled to a drain in the center of the room by the floor's slope. Amber flowed down between boards, ripples forming on her surface as her liquid body squeezed through the cracks. Before Zoe could even comprehend what was happening, Amber was gone.

"Oh no! Jess, we've got to see where this drain goes and...Jess?"

Zoe looked back and saw Jess already melted up to her knees. She stood atop two mounds of brown goo, her boobs and butt collecting more of her dripping body as it gave into the room's heat.

She more smeared than wiped some hair aside to see Zoe. "Babe, I think you made it just a little too hot in here."

Zoe lifted a fiery finger to her lips, pretending to be surprised. "Heh, maaaaybe. I didn't know there was a drain in here."

Jess smiled and shook her head, flicking purple droplets of hair. "Why don't we hurry up and get down there. Help me out, I'm dripping too slow."

Zoe grinned. "With gusto." She opened and extended her arms around Jess, taking care to melt and not incinerate her.

"MMmmmmmmm." Bubbles formed on Jessica's body, the extra heat melting her faster. Her butt splashed down, sending droplets of herself everywhere. Her top half leaned back into the rest of her, sinking and bubbling as she spread out into a dark brown puddle.

"Thaaaaaanks blblb..."

* * *

"Hello! Earth to Scarlett!" Amber was waving her hand in front of Scarlett's face.

Eventually Scarlett snapped out of her imagination and back to attention. Amber was pretty sure she saw Scarlett's hair perk up, as if it was just starting to melt, but decided not to embarrass Scarlett any further.

Scarlett reached for her notes. "Right. So Jessica drips through the floorboards, and Zoe waits another minute to collect everyone's equipment before letting her hot fire elemental essence ooze through. You both drip down a long stone tunnel, before splashing down into a cave. The stone is lined with glowing mushrooms, allowing you to see that Amber is already solid again before Zoe drops in. I'm guessing Amber helps mold you back into shape?"

Amber smiled. "Of course!"

Jessica laughed "Was this a plan for you to mold me back together twice in one session?"

"Hey, save some for me!" Zoe was laughing along with everyone. "Alright, so when I do finally drip down, and we get moving, what's down the passageway?"

"It's dark except for the mushrooms. It's a little moist and stinky down here, probably because not just the sauna drain goes through these tunnels. Looking down, you can see smears in the mud. It's clear something is using this passage."

"We follow it!"

"Cool. What are your perception scores again?"

* * *

Jess was in the lead, Zoe in the back, and their squishy wizard Amber in the middle.

Jess was not too happy about that. "It's way too dark down here. How did we end up with a Druid that can't track through natural places?"

Zoe shrugged. "I thought I was here to look good and turn into things."

Amber shushed them both. "SHHH! Not so loud. There's no telling what's down here!"

They walked for several minutes before Amber tugged Jessica back. "Hey, what's making that movement up there?"

The shadows on the wall ahead of them somehow looked too dark. There wasn't a lot of light here, and nothing should have been moving, yet the shadows were darker than dark, and flickering menacingly.

"That...can't be good.

The shadows bolted across the floor, gathered in front of them, and rose up into a terrible beast.

Jess did not hesitate before slashing it.

*SHWP*SHWP*
"BWAHAHAHA!"

Her spear passed through the demon as if it was nothing. "What the hell is this thing?!"

Amber ran up and tried to pull Jess back. "That's actually pretty accurate. I think it's a demon! I've heard of these things, get back and let Zoe blast it with sunlight!"

Jess kept shaking Amber off, trying to get more slashes in. Amber finally gave up on trying to distract the warrior and decided to try something on the demon. "Uuuuh I've gotta have something. Yaaaa!"

Missiles of force flew from Amber's hands and exploded in the shadow stuff. Chunks of the shadow disappeared before swirling back together. The demon roared.

Jess continued anxiously slashing harmlessly through the demon. "I don't think it liked that. You have any more of those?"

While Amber and Jessica spoke, the demon slipped directly in front of them, building itself up to twice its former height.

"I think so, but I don't think it likes uUUUURK"

*SLLLLLSH*SLLLLLSH*SLLLLLSH*

Zoe was still trying to gather energy for a Sunbeam, but saw the demons claws go right through her friends as if they weren't there. Both stopped moving, and their bodies started peeling apart. Slices of wizard and paladin crumpled and fell to both sides, wobbling piece by piece to the floor.

"KYAAAAYAYAYAYAYA!"

Zoe watched the demon waste its energy cackling. Its celebration meant her friends bought enough time. Gold light shined in her hand. "Silly shadow demon, you think that bothered them? Sometimes we do that for fun on Saturday nights."

"HRRRNN??"

Zoe opened her palm and sunlight blasted the demon.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

The beam melted a hole in the center of the demon. It's body bubbled, black shadow stuff dripping to the floor around it. The demon boiled as more sunlight blasted it, and as more of it dripped to the floor, it evaporated into a black mist, until no sign of it remained.

* * *

Zoe looked up from her spell guide grinning. "So, that sends it back to its own dimension, right?"

Scarlett nodded. "Good work Zoe."

Everyone was happy about Zoe's well timed spell, but Jessica was still scratching her chin. "That's good, but what the hell brought that thing here?"

"Funny you should ask."

Scarlett moved some pieces out of the way. She placed a new map in the middle of the table, along with another mini that resembled Scarlett herself in a witch outfit. "You follow the stone passage through underground muck and small streams. Eventually, the rough cave walls shift to smoother stone, as if someone shaped it into a passageway with rough magic. Someone is clearly hiding down here. After a few hundred feet of this straight-somewhat-worked tunnel, you see a dark purple glow. When you get closer, you see a red haired sorceress collecting bits of purple fungus into a bottle."

Amber giggled and moved her mini forward. "Red haired eh?"

* * *

"Hey! What are you doing down here?"

The sorceress, who looked suspiciously like Scarlett, calmly stopped collecting mushrooms, and stepped towards the party. "Just collecting ingredients. They're very interesting."

She took a nibble of the mushrooms, brought her hand up as if getting ready to slap someone in front of her, and swung. Her arm stretched all the way out to Amber and slapped her in the face.

Amber felt her cheek. The slap wasn't particularly strong or stinging, but it was surprising. "How did you...?"

"I just need more space above ground to get a real lab set up out here in the middle of no where. I *thought* the forces of hell would be enough to keep out intruders. Looks like hired help never works."

"Wait!" Zoe stepped out of the cavern shadows. "So it's YOUR fault I couldn't have a real back rub?!"

Evil Scarlett cackled. "Well *someone* has to clear out nosy adventurers above ground. The bathhouse wouldn't listen to gold, so here we are."

Amber cracked her knuckles. "I've heard enough. I'm taking care of this."

"Oh really?" Scarlett waved her hands around, and pointed at Amber.

Amber weaved a spell of her own. "Whatever you're trying, it's not going to-URK!"

A pink pair of large ghostly hands appeared above Amber, and pressed her to the ground. She resisted, pushing back as her legs and tummy crumpled like a cheap accordion, but that only delayed her body squishing down into a ball of dough. Her face looked up at the hands.

"Hey! No OOOMPH!" The hands didn't stop with squishing. Scarlett continued moving her hands as if kneading bread, and the hands obeyed the commands. Amber's body twisted and turned on itself as the hands worked her, random features shifting around as her body merged with itself. A foot connected to her cheek, a breast merged into a thigh. The hands pulled her apart, eyes and feet stretched between them, her body tearing and struggling to hold together, before the hands would smash her back together again. Soon enough, Amber was nothing more than a solid blonde ball of wizard.

"There! Now to pound her down and let her rise." Scarlett pounded a fist into an open palm, and a fist punched the Amber dough. She billowed out into an Amber splat, two dazed eyes on the top.

"Amber!" Zoe rushed forwards, but the hands created a wall in front of her.

Scarlett winked. "Not so fast cutie! I didn't say we could play yet."

Zoe's body wobbled and started turning blue.
Scarlett clapped.
*SPLOOOOOOSH*

The hands clapped around Zoe, and she exploded in a blue splash. Bits of liquid Zoe sprayed everywhere.

"Hah! Too easy! You adventurers are all the...huh?"

The blue bits of Zoe collected on the sorceress's side of the hands. As they flowed together, they merged into a giant blue blob. It shook, and Zoe's head formed on the top. She stretched and arched her back as she formed her body into a large water elemental, her braid and outstretched arms and splashing water everywhere. She looked exactly like her human form, only instead of feet, her legs extended from a puddle on the floor as a single pillar of water. That, and she didn't bother forming clothes, showing off two impressive orbs of water churning in front of her.

Scarlett's eyes popped out, and her jaw dropped and tongue rolled out on the floor, at the sight of "naked" Zoe. "Ooooh my! You ARE cute!" She had to crank her arm to pull her jaw back into place.

"And you're all wet!" Zoe flowed forwards, her legs flowing like river rapids. She windmilled a fist behind her, pumping more water into her fist to make it bigger, winding up for a massive punch.

Scarlett snapped her fingers, sending a stream of fire at Zoe from her hand.

Zoe slowed as fire blasted her chest, and her water body rippled as the flames died out against her. It looked like the fire did nothing to her water body.

She grinned and continued forwards. "You're going to have to do better than that!"

 "Oh Really?" Scarlett focused, and stomped a foot. The blast of fire coming from her hand doubled in size and intensity, heating the whole room.

Zoe continued rushing forwards, but was having trouble flowing. She was slowing down and somehow getting taller. She looked down and saw the problem.

Her body was dousing the flames, but she was starting to boil. Steam surrounded her, and a large bubble was building inside her. "Oh whaaaat is this?! OoooOOOh!"

The flames continued, and Zoe was torn between adventuring and fun. Her trim stomach grew into a giant ball. Her breasts expanded with steam, growing even more impressive to be as large as some of the boulders in the back of the cavern. Her arms were shrinking into her body as it ballooned out, bubbling and trying to hold together, and Zoe was smiling through all of it.

She grew until the base of her body expanded to the edge of her base puddle. "OOOOH FUUUUUCK!"

*SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!*

The cavern was briefly flooded by Zoe, before the water slowly reverted to goo. It was slow to trickle towards the entrance, but Jessica wasn't wasting this opening.

The hands were gone.

Jessica charged through the Amber and Zoe goop towards their enemy. Scarlett was catching her breath from using too much magic, but still looked up in time to react.

"Oh no you don't!"

*ZAP*

Jess jumped over the lightning bolt, leaving a large glob of Zoe to get shocked and scattered.

"HYYYAAAA!" Jess jumped towards Scarlett, intending to slash. She noticed she overjumped, and settled for a nice stomp.

*SQUOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

Scarlett's body collapsed under the paladin's weight. Armored boots crushed skull into chest, chest accordioned into hips, and hips squished and spread out on the stone beneath. Her hips cartoonishly splattered out on all sides, her tongue visible under Jessica's boot.

But she never completely flattened.

Jessica barely got to look down before Scarlett sprung up, springing Jessica back into the air. She flipped, landing a few feet away. Scarlett spring back into three dimensions, wobbling between four and seven feet tall before settling back in at her usual five and a half.

"HAH! I told you, these mushrooms have great properties! There's no way you can squish me now-"

*SHWP*

Scarlett's arms fell to the floor.

Jessica spun her glaive overhead, winding up for her next attack. "Who said anything about squishing?"

*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*SHWP*

Scarlett was consumed by a flurry of attacks. Pieces of her rubberized body fell to the floor and scattered. Her knee buckled, sending more sorceress shards away. Her waist fell away like a pile of jenga bricks, and she lost a foot of height. She hugged herself to not fall completely apart as her boobs fell off, but...

"WHOA!"

She lost her balance. She was already a floating puzzle of cubes when she fell completely apart into a disorganized pile of sorceress.

In the back, Amber was finally rising back into her normal shape. "Nice work Jess! What do we do now?"

Jess pounded the butt of her glaive on the ground next to her. "Turn her in, figure out how these mushrooms work, and get a real massage."

Amber looked at the pile of Scarlett cubes. Her eyes were still blinking, cubes trying to wobble together.

"What do we do about her?"

* * *

"We melt down the Scarlett cubes while we figure out what to do with her."

Back at the table, Scarlett was looking a little flustered. "Uuuh, okay."

Jessica pointed at her character sheet. "I definitely have a sheriff's bottle."

Zoe saw Scarlett wiping sweat from her forehead as the party's descriptions continued. "Yeah, let's melt Scarlett down then go back to the sauna."

Scarlett started sinking into her chair. "Hey, let me look something up."

Amber giggled and leaned over towards Scarlett. The session was over anyway. "Yeah, then we can get proper massages. You don't know how much I need one after getting kneaded."

*PLOP*

Scarlett looked down from her chair, and saw her hand puddling on the floor between drops of her hair.

"Uuugh, giiiirls, you're no fairblblblblb..." Scarlett was quickly melting into a burbling mess on the floor.
