Slime!

Exotica had become a friend of Astra's as a fellow prisoner of the dragon, so was keen to help free her. She hoped that her magic would be up to the task. But when Fred and Velus took her back along their route, they found that things had greatly changed. The tunnel that they had been blown down had been straight, but now it was winding. What had been bare rock walls now were covered in brown slime that smelt strangely like bacon. The further they went, the worse the slime got. It was running down the walls and forming puddles on the floor.

"It wasn't like this before," Fred said.

"It's the dragon's doing," Exotica replied. "He is very powerful. We must hope that this tunnel still leads to where Astra was chained up. He's quite capable of moving everything around."

"Why the smell of bacon, though?"

"I don't know, unless it's intended as some obscure joke."

1. They couldn't find Astra.
2. They found Astra.
3. They found Astra. She had become liberally coated with the slime, much to her disgust.
4. They found Astra. She had been transformed into a pig-woman hybrid.
