Astra Misunderstands

Before Fred could explain he realized something was happening with Astra. She was shaking, turning a livid shade of red and emitting a sound like a wild animal. Her chains were vibrating, so forcefully that chunks of rock were starting to fall from the ceiling.

Fred turned to run but it was too late. With an explosion of rock and dust one of Astra's chains broke free from the cavewall. With a muffled roar Astra swung the chain at our brave hero, smashing him in the head with the large boulder still attached to it and wrapping the chain around his neck. One pull and Fred was flung backwards, slamming against the wall. Astra yanked the chain back, resulting in loss of air flow to Fred's brain. Fred grunted and wheezed, clutching at the ensorcelled links around his throat. "H-help!" he choked, "She's gone nuts! Do something, you stupid scarecrow!"

"What should I do?"

"Die, die, die!" Astra cackled, chewing through the cloth over her mouth. Velus was running around barking unhelpfully.

"Get the Kohaquon board!" Fred cried. "Smash it over her psychotic head!!"
