"Huh... I am assigning you to official lockpicking duty," I say to Miles as he easily and deftly picks the lock of the chest with his claws... something that I tried to do, but failed miserably at. Inside the chest was a very weird-looking glowing sword, and another one of those bags... maybe it was just tradition of some sort to put bags of holding in every possible treasure chest. I would have picked up the sword to give it to Deravan, but out of almost nowhere, a ninja appears, steals the sword, and then throws a weird kind of smokescreen at everyone. I, not expecting a ninja to appear, and not expecting to end up on the receiving end of some sort of gas-based attack didn't close my mouth in time, and accidentally inhaled some of the gas... that would soon present itself as my greatest mistake, as I instantly started shrinking, and changing until I ended up as an iguana... this... was much less than optimal. Someone, probably someone in our group, though his voice was unfamiliar, shouted for us to kill the human... which probably wasn't going to happen while I'm like this, "Let's... not kill the human, let's try to get to a safe spot until this whole mess wears off!" my voice was unusually high, almost to the point of it being squeaky, though, it was a relief that I could still speak at all, as I felt weaker, dumber, and slower all at once. I looked over to see Backstabs growing feathers, and having her hands change into wings, something that would obviously take some getting used to for her. Confused by her sudden transformation into a phoenix, tries to pick up the dagger she just dropped, though, she couldn't hold it in her wings, unfortunately.
