Stupid Sword!

"I've just remembered that the sword is magically protected against theft," Fred replied.

Astra scratched her thigh. "But you gave the sword to me. I didn't steal it. Stupid sword! Oh well, I guess I can stand it."

So they continued on their way, hunting for a way out of the caves, as Astra scratched herself in a multitude of different places. Some of them were places where a naked princess really shouldn't scratch herself in front of other people, but it didn't seem to bother her.

1. It bothered Fred though, who eventually suggested that she should return the sword and have his dagger - which wasn't enchanted as far as he knew - instead.
2. Eventually the itchiness wore off.
3. Eventually Astra could stand it no longer, and returned the sword to Fred.
4. To everyone's surprise, Exotica suddenly revealed that she had recently begun dabbling in magic. Though she was only a beginner (and so not up to creating clothes), she thought that she might be able to remove the sword's spell.
