[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2610721, member: 508"] I wasted no time, I charged up behind the bear-thing, and I gave it to him with my breath. Only nothing happened. I mean, no freeze-ray or nothing came out, just my own breath.[b][3][/b] So I bit him. It seemed like the natural thing to do, you know? I figured I got the teeth, I got the powerful jaws, right? So I bit down on a leg and started chewing. The bear, he noticed all right, and he tried turning around to get at me, but I was too smart for him, see, I was behind him where he couldn't get me. Plus, the wizard was up above, where it's safe, blasting the thing with [i]magic missiles[/i] or something. Anyway, the plan worked, and eventually we killed the thing. So maybe it wasn't a totally stupid idea. But it was stupid enough. The wizard, he started to climb back down, and I dunno exactly how it happened, but somehow he lost his footing and fell down to the bottom of the ice-cliff, bounced once, and kinda slid into the fissure. I went racing over to the fissure myself and peered down at him, but I could tell right away by the way he was lying there that he was a goner - his head was at a weird angle, and his arms and legs were splayed out all over, one of 'em bent funny as well. So there was really no doubt about it, he was dead. And even if he wasn't, there was no way I was gonna fit into the fissure to go get him. It took me about a minute to realize exactly what this might mean. I was turned into a winter wolf, and now who was gonna turn me back? I started panicking, but I surprised myself out of it by the whimpering noise coming out of my throat. It was like a dog whimpering, not me. Only it was me, of course. I tried to talk, and found out that I couldn't. Still, I decided not to panic. It was one lousy spell, how long could it last? All I had to do was wait for the stupid thing to wear off and I'd be all set. In the meantime, I'd go dig up my sword, so I'd be ready to go once I regained my human form. Two hours later, still in wolf form, I decided to panic after all. [/QUOTE]
