Gisela of Rugenstadt returned to the humble village of Lendorf by morning. She arrived as something of a mythical figure, a mirage in the form of a living hourglass of a woman clad in armor that did almost nothing to hide her nudity. A gathering throng of villagers stood silently as Gisela emerged from the fetid bog, the paladin's unmistakable figure illuminated by golden shafts of light cast by the morning sun. Many of the unspeaking watchers had not expected Gisela to return from the Blood Marsh — not alive at least — while others had feared an even more tragic fate for the boulder-breasted blonde. Yet Gisela proved victorious in her quest, and she proudly displayed the proof of her deeds. She held aloft a putrid trophy in each plate-armored hand, taken from the rotting corpses of each abomination felled the prior evening. In her right hand she clutched a large, gelatinous eye colored a sickly yellow, and in her left she grasped a severed tendril-like appendage ending with a massive pincer. The bewilderment of the gathering villagers quickly melted into elation at the sight of the grotesque prizes. The congregation erupted with a joyous fervor, and a cacophony of shouts and praises resounded across the small settlement, drawing even more villagers from their thatched hovels to investigate the commotion. Gisela had returned an avenging hero, though it was evident from lustful stares and awkwardly bulging britches that some of the adoring peasants were more interested in her obscenely fat, wobbling breasts and her enormous behind than they were with her valiant deeds.
Gisela marched through the jubilant crowd wearing a triumphant smile upon her regal visage. She cut through the celebrating throng with a determined step, her nearly-naked figure jiggling wildly past nearly forty grateful and dirtied commoners. The warrior-woman's armor was scandalously revealing and it struggled to restrain her colossal curves as she walked through the mob. Her "breastplate" merely consisted of two triangular steel bulwarks that shielded the twenty-five year old's tiny pink nipples, leaving the preponderance of Gisela's gigantic alabaster mounds freely exposed. Below an astonishingly narrow waist, a strip of steel defended the paladin's womanly cleft but traitorously abandoned her behemoth backside. The thing disappeared hopelessly between the beauty's immensely padded cheeks, much to the enjoyment of the male villagers that marveled mindlessly at the well-toned spheres. A curious black sludge clung to each of the mountainous globes -- the vile outcome of a now-dead monster's final sexual release -- but the leering men lacked the insight, or perhaps the depravity, to consider what the foul substance might have been.
The buxom paladin at last reached the wooden lodge that stood in Lendorf's center. The building was the largest in the modest village and it easily dwarfed the pitiful huts that surrounded it, though it paled in comparison with the magnificent structures Gisela was accustomed to seeing in Rugenstadt. While it was haphazardly constructed and thoroughly worn by the ravages of nature, the cabin nevertheless served as Lendorf's court of law and seat of administration. Gisela gently pushed the door open with a plated foot, her hands still busy holding the gruesome trophies harvested from the two slain monsters.
She found the magistrate sitting at a large desk of carved wood with a quill in his right hand. The man appeared to be in his early fifties. Distinguished silver had overtaken his hair and his cropped beard, and a number of wrinkles punctuated his aging face. He wore a simple but well-fitting black tunic over his slight frame. The magistrate's brown eyes met Gisela's sapphires as the paladin approached him.
"The Sisterhood of the Dauntless Rose has heeded your call," Gisela said proudly, placing the slain fish-man's gelatinous eye upon the magistrate's desk with a soft squish. The sitting man grimaced at the ugly token.
"The rapist troubling these lands has been slain, and by Wōdun's divine grace another vile monster along with it," Gisela continued, placing her second prize next to the sickly yellow orb. The severed appendage messily extended across the magistrate's desk. "Your village will be menaced no longer."
The magistrate stared intently at the ghastly items despoiling his desk. His countenance slowly shifted from disgust to guarded curiosity as he inspected them, studying the vile remnants with a contemplative sternness.
"This is the beast that caused so much suffering?" the silver-haired man asked incredulously, gently prodding the fish-man's rotting yellowed orb with his quill. The magistrate pried his eyes from the sickly globe and looked up at Gisela. "You have done us a great service in destroying this foul thing, my lady."
"I cannot claim glory in the mongrel's death. It was slain by a greater abomination as I approached," Gisela said, pointing at the massive serrated pincer capping the second monstrous trophy.
The magistrate examined the scythe-like claw with a renewed inquisitiveness.
"What was this creature?" he asked with a furrowed brow, his brown eyes still fixed on the innate weapon of a monster now dead.
"An unnatural one. Never have I seen its like. It was twice again the size of a man, with a dread aspect not unlike a diseased tree. The thing met its end all the same, laid low by my hammer. Wōdun be praised!"
The buxom paladin intentionally withheld her suspicion that the monster was not of the known world, but rather a daemon conjured from the Dark Beyond. Gisela knew such talk was dangerous, and that it had a tendency to spread chaos and fear in its wake. She also kept secret the events that transpired immediately prior to the abomination's demise. The vile creature's final act was one of unspeakable sexual depravity. The daemon had ejaculated upon Gisela's massive, jiggling ass as the voluptuous paladin flailed about helplessly in its clutches, and its disgusting load clung to the blonde beauty's smooth, padded cheeks even now.
"Wōdun be praised," the magistrate echoed before rising from his chair. "On behalf of the people of Lendorf, I thank you for bringing order and justice to our village." The man bowed in appreciation.
"You need not thank me. The Sisterhood stands vigilant to protect the realm from all threats sorcerous and inhuman, as it has for centuries," Gisela said with a magnanimous smile.
"That it has. Where now do you go, Sister?"
"I leave for Rugenstadt come dawn. My matriarch will be eagerly awaiting my account, of that I am certain. Have you any food or fresh water to spare for the journey, the Sisterhood would be thankful."
"Of course. I will see to it that you are well-supplied for your return home. It is the least Lendorf can do to repay you," the magistrate answered with a warm nod.
"I am also in dire need of a hot bath."
The magistrate made good on his pledge. He provided Gisela with a small assortment of dried meats, cheeses, and fruits taken from the village's larder, and sent his page to fill the buxom paladin's water pouches at a nearby stream. He also arranged for a hot bath to be prepared for the muck-covered hourglass of a woman. The village's shoemaker, a man named Ludwin, graciously offered his humble home as a place of relaxation and solitude for the curvaceous beauty, and for that Gisela was immensely grateful.
Ludwin's home was a simple and shoddy dwelling, but Gisela was nevertheless content with the accommodation. Like most of the dwellings in Lendorf, the place was a small circular hut made of wood, mud, and straw. A wooden tub was situated in the center of the hovel and it was filled to the brim with steaming water in anticipation of Gisela's arrival. A desiccated sea sponge and a large square of stitched wool were generously provided as well, the instruments of scrubbing and drying left within reaching distance of the inviting pool. Cool air from outside violated the pitiful dwelling, skirting the flimsy and clumsily erected wooden door that shielded the place's entrance.
