Meanwhile, Lord Fred's body was being retrieved. Belboz had an assistant whom we haven't met as yet. He was named - as was traditional - Igor. Igor knew that his master, being a necromancer, always had a use for corpses. And the one that he had just stumbled upon - quite literally - seemed to have died only recently. That was good, as an unrotted body meant that, when it was reanimated, bits were far less likely to fall off. So he commenced to drag the stiffening corpse through the tunnels in the direction of Belboz's lair.
While Igor was busy with this, Astra had been continuing to shrink and becoming more and more alarmed, until eventually she finished at no more than six inches tall. She had kept the extreme curves that Belbox had given her, and looked like an amazingly sexy doll. She looked at the pieces of chalk uncertainly. The unpredictable unpleasant effects that touching them could cause had been painful enough when she was her normal size. Now she wondered if at her reduced size trying to grab one to draw a door on the wall might actually prove fatal. Even if it didn't, using one to draw would be difficult, maybe even impossible, due to how big and heavy it would be in comparison to herself. Even if she managed to draw a door and it became real, she would have to hope that it was unlocked, as the golden key would be too heavy for her to lift.
