Valdred shifted uncomfortably in his parade armor.  It was only a light suit of armor, more fancifully decorated than dully practical but it had been finely tailored to him, all the better to make a good first impression.  He was a noble after all, even if only a minor one.  On his altered body, the fine armor was ill fitting, loose where it shouldn't be and tight where it ought not to be.  He'd even had to cinch his sword belt a few notches tighter to fit around his smaller waist.<br/><br/>"I must agree with Jessica.  We cannot leave bandits lying in ambush like this, waiting to fall upon the next unsuspecting traveller.  Were I...not this..." Valdred motioned to his now ample chest.  "...I would suggest that we teach them a lesson.  And there may be a reward out for them.  A few more coins in ones pocket is always a good thing.  Now, I'm not sure what else has been done to us.  I don't know if my sword skills or my magic have been left intact."
