The bad, bad warlock puts the dragon in her

Erastus Rayne led the way to one of his back rooms where he immediately advised Brother Linden to step outside of the room while he got Sister Lilith prepared for the big dragon fight.

"Why can't I stay?" asked Linden.

"Because Lilith is going to have to get undressed right now," said Erastus. "And she'd probably be more comfortable if she could do it in privacy."

"I've seen Lilith undressed before," said Linden.

"Hey!" said Lilith. "I thought we both agreed we weren't going to talk about that."

"Very well," said Erastus. "You can stay."

Linden went and stood against a nearby wall, leaving a very nervous Lilith to undress before the gaze of him and Erastus.

"I've attended too many Black Masses to pretend I've never undressed in mixed company before but never have I had to undress for something like this," said Lilith as she started taking off her clothes.

"Don't worry," said Erastus. "The transformation should be painless and it should take less time than a -- Oh, my!"

"What is it?" said Lilith as she dropped the last of her garments to the floor.

Erastus replied, "I've heard that you looked quite fetching in the nude, Lilith, but I never realized -- Er, you don't have to cover yourself for my sake. We're all adults here."

Lilith continued to hold one arm over her breasts and the other over her private parts, feeling a bit like the convent girl she used to be before she changed teams.

"No, thanks," Lilith replied. "Somehow I feel more comfortable like this."

"And yet you're supposed to be this big bad representative of the Dark Brotherhood," said Erastus.

"Hey, members of the Dark Brotherhood can be modest, too," said Lilith.

"Your hardened nipples tell me a different story, Lilith," said Amelia.

"Well, what can I say?" asked Lilith. "It's obviously cold in here."

"Ahem!" said Linden. "I know a naked Lilith is a hard sight to pass up but we do have a bit of a time crunch on our hands."

"Right," said Erastus. "Well, here goes!"

Erastus made a few gestures with her hands, muttered some words in Latin and then flung out his hands in Lilith's direction. There was a brief flash of light emanating from his hands and then --

Lilith disappeared.

In her place there stood a dragon roughly about her size.

"There," said Erastus. "It worked. Now let's go kill that witch and that Slayer."
