Chapter 7 by RivoCarnelian

Is your attack successful?

In a manner of speaking

As you dive towards the stricken rogue, her companion brandishes her staff and begins to chant an incantation. You ignore her, her magic can't hurt you after all, and focus entirely on the thief. As your first strike hits the halfling the pair of you are surrounded by a blue glow. Whatever spell the mage has cast affecting you both.

What are you doing Arileth?!

The halfling shouts, her brow furrowing in confusion. You feel a pulling sensation as the blue light grows brighter and brighter, blinding you and then everything goes black.

When your vision returns, the elf is looming over you, her slender features clouded with concern. You start and attempt to float away, but your body feels strangely heavy, and refuses to obey. A slow and steady thumping sounds in your ears, and it's a moment before you realise the elf, Arileth, is talking

Are you alright Saoirse? The wraith is gone, I wasn't sure if that spell would work but I think it did...

She tails off, realising she's babbling, a light blush suffusing her cheeks. You frown, why is the elf talking to you? And what is that infernal pounding? And why are you so heavy?!

I'm fine Arileth. What was that spell though? Your magic is too low level to harm the wraiths in this zone...

It's the halfling's voice. And she's close. But it sounds distorted somehow. You try and move again, to get out of there before they realise you haven't gone away, and this time you have some success.

Woah, careful there Saoirse you nearly kicked me!

The elf says as you scoot backwards, holding a hand out towards you.

My body just moved by itself! Just what was that spell Arileth?

The halfling demands.

I wasn't sure what to do, so I used the Staff to cast a restoration spell - I figured if you were back at full strength the wraith would flee, and it worked!

The elf replies. Your vision swims a bit as the elf grasps your wrist and pulls you upright. You look down, directly into an impressive display of cleavage and then it dawns on you - somehow you are in the halfling's body! Your jaw moves, and the halfling's voice comes out

I'm not so sure about that... Something isn't quite right about this, and we still don't know exactly what that Staff is...

It seems the halfling still has control over her body! Maybe you should bide your time while you learn more about your unusual circumstances, or perhaps you should attempt to exert control...

Which do you choose?
