Prompt: An anthro fox paladin exploring a dungeon triggers a trap and is turned into a hand puppet.

   Vulpa the righteous didn’t hesitate for a moment when she heard of the mad magician’s maze that had claimed many adventurers before her. Owing to her years as a paladin and the shining armor around her furry orange body, she was able to avoid a majority of the traps in her way. Cutting down trips wires with her swords while keeping her bushy tail away from sensors, she was certain that she would succeed in taking down the mad magician’s schemes. That was until one of her paws stepped onto a pressure plate to deliver a puff of strange smoke to her snout.

   Overtaken by intense shivers, Vulpa was forced to drop her precious weapons as her body fell to the ground. Her landing wasn’t with a clang but with a soft thud thanks to her armor and flesh being replaced with felt. Though she shouldn’t see what was going on as she lost the ability to move, she could certainly feel the lack of legs below her waist. Curious and terrified as to why she had a hole in the bottom of her softer body, she was unable to let out a proper scream as someone came along and pushed their hand into her opening.

   Carried through the dark corridors of the dungeons, Vulpa was originally brought out onto a small stage. Hoisted up into the center spotlight, her captor began to wriggle her arms and move her mouth to practice a play. Through her sewn eyes, she was horrified to see that her co-stars were other adventurers that had been turned into hand puppets like herself. At the end of the performance, she and the rest of the adventurers were forced to bow all for the sake of delighting the mad magician’s twisted sense of humor.
