What Does Lois Lamia Do Now?

Decapitate The Blaze Statue, Just To Be Sure

In her younger years, Lois had not been a huge fan of Dungeons & Dragons—but as one of the nerds in the highschool and then her college newspaper, she had found herself with the other nerds and dorks and played her fair number of expeditions to the Barrier Peaks and delved into the Underdark. Which is why she knew better than to turn her back on a boss monster just because it looked dead.

The statue of Blaze sat frozen on its throne. Lois slithered over, her serpent-locks splayed out about her. It was an odd sensation, to see through so many tiny eyes...but stranger still was how utterly natural it felt for Lois at that moment. Her transformation into a lamia had been more than just cosmetic. Something about how her brain processed information had changed, and combined with her journalistic attention to detail it made her feel...oddly aware.

There were no tools nearby with which to destroy the statue. The reporter hissed—literally—in agitation, and thumped her tail hard...

The concrete below it cracked.

Lois turned her attention to her tail. It was as long as a boa constrictor, but much thicker to bear her weight and carry it on. Superhuman, obviously. The tip lifted off the ground and Lois wiggled it about.

"Well...it isss worth a try," she said, instinctively stressing the sibilant.

With her arms for leverage, and the robe thrown back over her shoulders for a moment, Lois Lamia clambered up over and around the demon. Her long lower body slithered about the stony form and the chair, the human upper torso with its bare breasts sliding against the petrified cock, until the last third of her tail wrapped around the demon's neck...

...and then Lois Lamia squeezed.

Unfamiliar muscles bunched. Lois winced as strange pressures made themselves known along her elongated spine, her many ribs... And then with a crack the horned head broke off and tumbled to the floor, and the petrified body shattered into pieces and a cloud of gray dust.

Which is when Lois Lamia found herself in for a surprise.
