The display showed a swamp. The text said: "Travel through the swamps, one dexterity roll over or equal to 5 to avoid sinking, a resistance roll against the midges poison attacks over or equal to 4."
"what a mess.", said Mary. "It seems to be a really bad field. I have no card useful for this tasks. Can anyone halp me?"
Over Dinas lips slid an evil smile. She looked at her former tormentor. In her view of the situation, Mary was guilty for her appearance. And she felt really sad about beeing a mermaid with rabbit ears. She looked at her cards and took one out. She said: "I play this ANIMAL Card on Mary, giving her poison resistance and jumping. It may help her through the test."
Tobi and Lissy gasped, as they saw the green frog picture on the card. Mary was not frightened. She took the card, and laid it out before her. Then she stood up, and threw away all her clothes. She smiled at all her friends and waited for the transformation.
The first thing they all noticed, was a green shimmer on Marys skin. Some darker patterns formed on the top of her limbs and her back. She stroked with her hands all over her skin and said: "It is not cold or squirmy. My skin is just getting some different consistency. And it seems to become wet."

Then, Mary shook her head because of a tickling feeling. Her lips pushed to the sides, making her mouth broader. Her voice was changed, as she spoke: " I think the transformation is over now. I can´t feel the tickling anymore. And of cause... I think it´s enough!" The word were slightly croaked as she spoke.
Lissy stroked over Marys green skin, and smiled at her. "You are right, you don´t feel slimy. It is quite nice to touch. But roll the dice now!"
Mary rolled, and passed the tests (Difficulty 2 and 2) without any question.
