Of course, it was a man-eating monster, so Tony had little choice but to accept the wizard's plan. With a wave of magic, the old sorcerer transformed him into a fierce female barbarian warrior and sent him into the beast's cave.
Unfortunately, Tony soon discovered that fighting monsters was not his biggest problem.
As he strode deeper into the cavern, he kept getting distracted by two large orbs bouncing at the edge of his vision. The skimpy leather armour he had been issued provided very little support, and every step seemed to make the situation worse. Keeping his eyes on the monster while ignoring his unfamiliar body was proving nearly impossible.
"How does anyone get any adventuring done dressed like this?" he muttered, ducking just in time as the creature's claws sliced through the air where his head had been a moment before.
The monster was dangerous enough already. Tony didn't need his own equipment to make the fight harder.
