strip Vanessa instead

You peek out from behind the curtain. The tavern is lively, and quite packed. You definitely don't envy her for having to walk past all those people. Bar wenches are walking to and fro with drinks and servings, and a rowdy cardgame is going on at a nearby table.

You feel a pinprick of pity for Evellyn, but a deal is a deal. You can lighten the load for her, though - it's not as if half the town hasn't seen her at least half-naked by now anyway. Before Evellyn can exit through the curtains you leave the booth at super-speed to go about your task.

The first thing you do is go outside to fetch some anti-wizard powder from an apothecary you know.. The glittery rainbow dust will negate all Vanessa's powers, at least for an hour or two. You don't know exactly what she's capable of, and you don't want her turning the tables on you. You unfasten the sorceress' red, fur-lined jacket, fold it neatly and place it on the table next to Evellyn's clothes. Then you pull her red silk dress up and off her head, nodding with satisfaction as her lacy red panties come into view. The sorceress is deliciously curvy, with rounded hips and full breasts concealed in her equally red, equally lacy bra. Cascades of dark hair frame her beautiful, flirtatiously smiling face.

You put the dress next to the jacket, take a step back and are about to let time start up again when you remember the anti-wizard powder. Wouldn't do to forget that. You cover her liberally with the stuff, making sure she sparkles with rainbow dust from head to foot. Then you drop back into time. Vanessa's smile slowly fades as she realises what's happened. She draws her legs up in front of her, clearly a little embarrassed but not wanting to give you the satisfaction of a squeal.

"Well," she says crossly. "I expected this moment would come sooner or later. But you’re about to regret it, rogue. It’s high time for black tentacles!"

You watch her hands move, and grin as the spell dissolves like wet paper on her fingertips. She looks down, and for the first time realises what she's covered with. "Anti-wizard dust? This stuff costs a hundred gold a pinch!"

"Not to me."

"Oh, come on. I thought we were friends. Do you really think being caught in my underwear bothers me, anyway? I've faced worse. I’ve done worse while drunk!”

She sounds confident, but you're not fooled. You heard her voice catch when she talked about being caught in her underwear. You look at Evellyn, who seems to be appreciating Vanessa's comeuppance. "Well, what do you think?"

"Why are you asking her?"

"You've had enough fun at her expense. I think it's time for her to return the favour."

Evellyn looks thoughtful.

"Well," she says, "I've often thought about what I do if I ever had Vanessa at my mercy... I suppose I do have a few ideas."
