----------------------------------------------

With the Dryad defeated and reduced to a naked gardener, the forest seemed much more sunny and welcoming. Graeme and his companions had decided to accompany the farmers and Echo along the trail as the two parties were going in the same direction. While at first the villagers had beared a grudge against the nymph, Echo was so timid and pathetic that it was hard to stay mad at her. That didn't stop the farmers from giving her a playful slap on the butt every once and a while though. Even Sanya was no longer openly hostile to the Dryad as now that she had gotten her revenge she was not the type to hold a grudge.

“You know Echo, you really pull off the bald look,” Graeme said with a dashing smile as he walked next to the defoliated Dryad. “Not many girls can make it work but it looks good on you.”

“Th-th-thank you...” the Dryad said as she blushed purple unsure how to react. Not allowed any clothes, Echo had to walk naked back to the farm and had one hand across her breasts and the other covering her weedwhacked womanhood. Graeme had an ulterior motive for complimenting her and falling in line next to her though as the Dryad was unable to cover her pretty green butt which the sellsword was appreciating at the moment.

Sanya narrowed her eyes at Graeme and made a face. “Well don't you look satisfied with the way things turned out. Why is it, Graeme, that every girl you come across seems to end up naked? Now even Aria and I have been caught up in this madness! You know, I think its time for the scales to be balanced and have you get stripped for a change!” Sanya made to lift up Graeme's shirt with a grin while the sellsword easily fended her off.

Graeme grinned and thought about it for a second. “Not every girl, Sanya! Nothing like that happened to the Princess as I would've surely remembered that! Anyway, all of those occurrences were happy accidents and nothing more.”

“Happy accidents?!” Sanya fumed.

“Yeah Snowball!” Graeme teased. “How is it my fault that you forgot I could deflect spells and ended up getting Aria's clothes burned off?”

Sanya blushed a little at that. “I-I-I thought you were distracted and-”

Graeme had a huge grin on his face now that the Snow Elf was getting flustered. “Its also not my fault that you didn't remember how your Flame Shield spell works!”

“HMMPH!” Sanya said making a face. “Well excuse me! I only set you free from the mind control spell!”

“Yeah but you see as it is now whenever I close my eyes all I can see is your naked body. Its my curse really. Oh well I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it,” Graeme said as he shook his head with a wistful expression. Graeme stopped and shut his eyes with a satisfied grin on his face to demonstrate.

Sanya jumped on his back and started frantically smacking him. “Nonono! You've got to put that out of your mind!” Aria slapped her leg and gave a huge laugh at that.

“Oh and you're there whenever I close my eyes as well blondie!” Graeme teased the beautiful Dwarf. “Such a muscular feminine body! I'm afraid I won't be able to look at you the same way after seeing that!” Aria gave Graeme one of her withering glares at that one. Echo couldn't help but giggle a little at that. The Dryad quickly caught herself and covered her mouth but then noticed Nibb staring at her with a grin and gave a little yelp.

The Snow Elf and Dwarf nodded at one another and gave Graeme a dark look. “Oh, it is on now, Graeme,” Sanya warned. Graeme just chuckled, completely unflustered.

With the sun setting, the group decided to stop and camp for the night. Once the tents were set up and the fire was roaring, everyone changed into their pajamas. Well, everyone except Echo that is. The Dryad looked really uncomfortable so Graeme sat down next to her on a log. The naked Dryad was a bit nervous as the handsome sellsword was sitting very close to her and looking her directly in the eyes with a piercing gaze. All conversation stopped and everyone was looking directly at the Human and Dryad, a fact that the blushing Echo was uncomfortably aware of.

“That was some kiss you gave me back there, Little Green,” Graeme said breaking the silence with a serious voice. “You know, Echo, in Human culture that is how a woman proposes to her husband. I accept by the way.”

“Wh-wh-WHAT!?” the Dryad squeeked with wide eyes.

Maria, the farmer's wife the group had rescued earlier, nodded severely with a huge grin on her face. “Yup! That's how I proposed to my husband! We've been happily married ever since! Til death do us part!” She gave her husband a huge kiss on the lips to demonstrate. Echo's jaw dropped and forgetting she was naked covered her mouth with both hands exposing her cute little breasts and flower-like womanhood. The purple blush on her green skin was travelling down her neck to her chest.

“Yeah. You've made me such a happy man!” Graeme said with a happy grin and pretended to wipe a tear of joy away. “Now that we're husband and wife we'll be sharing a sleeping bag! It is our wedding night after all and we have to make it count!” Graeme put his arm around the little nymph's shoulder and pulled her close with affection. Echo seemed to shrink as she tensed up unsure what she should do.

“B-b-but... I-I-I... Um-Um-Um... I didn't- I never-” Echo stuttered as her eyes darted about completely overwhelmed. “I've never had... I haven't been with a... Um... Its my first... please be gentle with me...” she said with a quiet voice as she stared at the ground and started breathing heavily.

The whole camp with the exception of Sanya burst out in hysterical laughter at the embarrassed Dryad. “Haha I'm just teasing you! You should've seen the look on your face!” Graeme snickered to himself until Sanya walked over and yanked his ear painfully and shoved him away.

“GAH! You are so immature, Graeme!” The Snow Elf took a seat next to Echo and looked at her rather severely. “Someone's given you 'The Talk', right? You do know about protection, right Echo? You know, safe sex?” Sanya asked with a serious expression.

“Um. N-n-no?” the Dryad responded with wide eyes.

“Nobody has had 'The Talk' with you?! I guess it falls on me to be the responsible one here!” The Snow Elf seemed to have forgotten her previous fight as she lectured to Echo about the various methods of birth control in great detail while the wide-eyed Dryad took notes. To Graeme's amusement Sanya explicitly demonstrated the proper way to put on prophylactics while Echo stared with rapt attention.

After dinner, Sanya passed around a bottle of whiskey to celebrate the making of new friends. Everyone had way too much and soon the entire camp was staggering drunk. Nibb was dancing around the fire with a nervous Echo while Aria sang a rowdy Dwarven drinking song about an innkeeper's daughter and a well-endowed blacksmith. The Boggart's little hands somehow kept ending up on the Dryad's butt much to Echo's displeasure.

After a couple of drinks, Echo was passed out in a very unladylike position with her legs wide open, her breasts uncovered, and drool dripping out of her mouth. Even Graeme was starting to look a little flush in the face as the shots were starting to have an effect on him. Time to make my move, Sanya thought to herself. The Snow Elf had an ulterior motive to getting Graeme drunk. The way she figured it, his guard would be dropped and it would be easier to prank him that way. Unfortunately, Sanya had also reached her drinking limit of one shot and was stone drunk as well.

The Snow Elf took aim and cast a fireball at Graeme intending to burn his pants off. Regrettably, Sanya was experiencing double vision at the moment and the shot went wide giving one of the farmers a hot-foot instead. Ok, the Snow Elf thought to herself. Spells aren't gonna cut it so I'm gonna have to try something else. Her searching eyes fell on Graeme's sword and a huge smirk came on her face. Perfect.

“How does this thing work?” Sanya said drunkenly as she awkwardly pulled the blade out of its scabbard and staggered backward. “Where's the kick-ass button on this device?” Graeme and Aria bust a gut laughing at this ridiculous sight. Sanya's drunken plan was to precisely slice off Graeme's pajamas and leave him naked for everyone to laugh at. She had seen the sellsword do this trick easily on multiple occasions after all. Unfortunately for her, the Snow Elf had never swung a sword in her life and she didn't even come near her target. Sanya overcompensated on her swing and spun around off balance somehow managing to slice her top off. Dizzy, the Snow Elf attempted to sheath the sword but ended up only cutting the drawstring on her pants.

The Snow Elf stood there wide-eyed in just her blue wizard bra and panties, her plan having totally backfired on her. “AKKK! Those were my only pajamas!” the blushing Sanya screamed covering up as everyone burst out laughing.

“Haha! Guess you'll have to just sleep in your underwear Snowflake!” Graeme crowed as he took back his sword and patted the humiliated Snow Elf on the head. “Stick with the spells next time, sweetheart! I'll handle the swordplay from now on!”

Nibb giggled and ran to get a blanket for Sanya to cover up with while she sat down and pouted. Graeme took a seat next to the Snow Elf and put his arm around her with affection while one of the villagers serenaded them with his guitar. Soon the two best friends were having a good laugh about the whole thing and had put it all behind them. Aria chuckled as the sauced Sanya fell asleep leaning on Graeme's shoulder with drool coming out of her mouth. The sellsword grinned as he carried the Snow Elf to her sleeping bag while Aria threw the passed out Echo over her shoulder and did the same. Nibb followed and soon the little Boggart was asleep in Aria's iron Dwarven grip.

Meanwhile, in a town not so far away, a young man named Thom was just getting off from work at the bar. Thom had sandy-blonde hair and a wiry physique. He wasn't very muscular and wasn't the type to make women swoon but he was funny and had a handsome face. The tired bartender was looking forward to hitting the hay when he heard the unmistakeable cry of a woman in distress coming from a nearby alleyway. A decent fellow, Thom didn't even hesitate, he just ran to help in any way he could.

Thom rounded the corner to find a nerdy looking girl with huge glasses getting shoved around by a muscular thug with short black hair. “Help! Someone please help!” she cried. The girl had long brown hair and brown eyes and was wearing a blue button-down shirt and a plaid skirt. It was hard to tell what kind of body she had under her baggy clothes but the girl looked pretty cute in a geeky sort of way.

The valiant barkeep tapped the black-haired thug on the shoulder and wasn't surpised when the punk spun around swinging. Thom had seen his share of barfights and knew how to use his speed and agility to his advantage so he easily avoided the clumsy roundhouse punch and hit the guy in the gut with a blow of his own. The thug's mouth popped open as he got the wind knocked out of him and Thom decked him in the face with a followup punch. “ARGH! JU BOKE BI DOSE!” the thug screamed as he clutched his face and staggered back with tears coming down his face.

Thom was about to check if the girl was alright when a knife was pressed against his throat. “You ok there, Bram?” the nerdy girl asked. “Quick, tie his arms up.” The thug mastered himself and did as he was told while Thom just stood there helplessly.

Bitch, the bartender thought to himself. This is what I get for being a nice guy. Mugged by a couple of common thieves.

“Can I hit him now, Faye?” Bram slurred. The girl with the glasses just smirked and nodded. This was Faye's favorite part. She loved watching men beat each other up as it turned her on like nothing else could. Thom could only wait unable to defend himself while the thug cracked his knuckles and slowly advanced on him with a wicked grin on his dumb face.

“Tssk-tssk. Not very nice,” said a feminine voice from above. The three Humans looked up and to their shock found themselves staring directly into the catlike eyes of the Dragon. The red-scaled wurm dropped into the alleyway on all fours cutting off any possible retreat. She had to be about ten feet long and had a pretty feminine face cropped with spiky black hair. The Dragon had a huge grin and a twinkle in her emerald eyes as she savored the fear of the three Humans. “Two against one, that's not very fair...”

The thug Bram tried to slip by her and make a run for it but the Dragon cut him off with lightning fast speed and swiped at him with her claws three times. Bram stood stock-still in shock thinking he had just been eviscerated when all of his clothes fell to the ground in tatters. “Guess all those muscles are overcompensating for something huh Human?” the Dragon mocked as she took in Bram's muscular chest but small manhood. The thug screamed and covered up in humiliation. The Dragon slapped him on the butt with her tail and Bram took off running all the while rubbing his butt in pain.

Faye dropped her dagger and backed away trembling in fear at this sight. The Dragon took a deep breath and carefully blasted her with her magical fire. The nerdy girl's skirt and shirt were burned off leaving her standing there in her underwear. Faye was wearing a pink bra with ribbons and bows on it that said “Rogues do it” on one cup and “from behind” on the other. She whimpered a little bit in embarrassment as she was keenly aware that her black panties with stitched red lettering that said “Naughty Pussy” were on display. Why did she decide to wear this set of undies today? Faye thought to herself in humiliation. The cutpurse had a slender olive-skinned body that was neither muscular nor frail and it looked like she had huge breasts if her straining bra was any indication.

The nerdy girl was too afraid to even move as the Dragon advanced on her and hooked a claw into her panties and ripped them off. “EEEK!” Faye shrieked as her lovely brown haired womanhood was revealed. The Dragon laughed and hooked another claw under the girl's bra and lifted. This time Faye held on for dear life and was pulled up in the air giving Thom an excellent view from below of her thick bush and secret lips as well as her pleasantly round butt.

Faye kicked her legs frantically and protested desperately. “NONONO! Not the bra! Not the bra! EEK!” The bra snapped and a ton of tissues and padding spilled out to scatter onto the ground. Faye fell on her butt wearing only her huge glasses and suddenly her secret was revealed. The hot but nerdy girl had been wearing a padded bra and in actuality had tiny breasts that were little more than handfulls with pointy pink nipples. The Dragon gave a huge laugh at this. “OH NO!” Faye cried as she jumped up and tried to cover up but it was to no avail as the Dragon, with surprising dexterity, grabbed her and tied her hands behind her back with her ruined bra.

The Dragon picked Faye up with her tail and threw her to Thom who by this time had untied himself and was able to catch the naked thief. The wurm smirked at the bartender and rose up on her hind legs, her body seeming to shimmer and shift, revealing a red-scaled humanoid body with a feminine sixpack. The Dragon was wearing a tank top and a loin-cloth and Thom realized that what he thought were front legs were actually arms. The beast winked at Thom, “Shhhh...” and with a thunderous flap of her wings took off into the night.

“Um... Tha
