Asher stumbled back slightly, gesturing frantically for her to quiet down, "Sshh, don't make any sounds. We're safe for now... I think," he said, his gaze flicking toward the undead in the distance.
"Safe?" Lori hissed, lowering her voice but maintaining her tone of reprimand, "You call thisss safe? Skully will now kill us both! Why didn't you just run? Keckkk!"
Lori let out a rasping cough, her massive serpentine body began to shimmer faintly, her scales pulsing with a dim purple light. With a low hiss, she shrank in size, coiling her smaller form tightly against the cold floor. Her head rested wearily on her coils as her eyes narrowed with fatigue.
