All magic required sacrifice. In order to restore Astra to her true form,
another had to be altered from their form. Magic also had a sense of humour. Fred was now a centaur. At least, somehow, his leggings did not tear and break in the transformation, so Astra had something to wear. So now we have a half-naked wairror maiden riding a centaur through the caverns. The only advantage they had was like all centaurs, Fred could magically fit in places a grown man could. After fetching Velus from a successful supply run (food, swords and helmets, but no clothes), the trio head down a wide tunnel he had found. Fred and Astra munched energy cakes as the walls slowly curved down. Soon they were heading down a basic tube. A few columns of rock, decorated by the ever-present glowing lichen, served to break up the monotony. It was very boring for a while, broken up only by the discovery that the presence of more animal-ness, in the form of Fred, allowed Velus to communicate normally (there had been issues). "Why didn't you guys look for a book on restoring Fred?" said Velus from Astra's lap. "We didn't want to press our luck." said Astra.
