Animate objects

The old man whispered a few words underneath his breath, directing the prodigious magicks at his command towards the unsuspecting Astrid, even as she held him in the sights of her crossbow.

”Come on, I ain’t got all… day?” Her admonishment faltered partway through, as her eyes were drawn towards her crossbow, where on its own accord the bolt loosened from the drawstring, leapt up, and jumped off the crossbow onto the ground, before hopping off! The bizarre sight was quickly complemented by the entire crossbow struggling in her hand before wriggling out of her grip, and following suit after the bolt, the crossbow’s limbs articulating like little legs as it waddled away.

Astrid shouted an exclamation of surprise at the bizarre spectacle, before her attention was drawn elsewhere - her belt had begun to tug around her waist, the buckle starting to flap and articulate like a simulacrum of a mouth or a duck’s beak, as it quickly undid itself and slid out of the loops of her pants, slithering down her leg like a snake. More garments began to move and shift about her person, until the entirety of her outfit had become animated, protesting that their lot in life had been to clothe her skin, now finally being empowered to change their circumstances!

Astrid yelped, tearing at her clothes to try and get them to remain in place, but whenever she wrenched a garment back into position in one place, she failed to prevent the escape of another! Her pants unbuttoned itself and hurled itself down to her ankles while her armor unbuckled and flopped to the floor, allowing her shirt to creep up over her head, and for both her bra and panties to make their own escape in the confusion. Her boots tugged hard at her feet, causing her to stumble and trip over the pants, and as Astrid rolled about on the ground in the end she failed to prevent any of her clothes from escaping. Within moments she found herself in her starknaked on the grass, scurrying to her feet and throwing her arms across her tits and crotch with a shriek, while an obedient column of animated clothing gathered behind the old man on the road.

Stupefied, her cheeks flush with embarrassment, Astrid watched helplessly as her clothes began to march away behind the man, heading down the trail… leaving her nude on the side of the road.
