Ranma'd searched through the dark caverns for the past hour or so, not finding much aside from several cave-ins and a curiously melted stone entryway. One of the many skeletons he'd passed had a few scraps of clothing left so he'd taken them despite his obvious discomfort about wearing something someone had rotted while wearing. He didn't feel great about stealing from the dead but it was better than fighting his way out of the evil stronghold in his birthday suit.
"Guess I'm not in Kansas anymore, huh?" Didn't remember where the line was from but it seemed oddly appropriate - even if he didn't know where Kansas was...
"Who are you? What're you doing here?" A grating upper-octave voice called out from the darkness.
"I'm trying to find the way out, you know the way?"
"Of course I do, but why don't you?" Big, round, yellow slitted eyes gleamed in the darkness. "Are you an enemy?"
"If I was an enemy, why would I be walking around?"
"Odiphous not know."
"Listen, friend, you know the way out or not?" Ranma was growing impatient. The cool cavern breeze brushing against his bare bottom.
"Odiphous not telling stranger about the spiral stair. Odiphous not telling about hidden door in third prison. Stranger might be enemy!"
"Uh...yeah, thanks." Ranma wondered in all of skull-face's minions were idiots.
"Thanks for what? Odiphous...Odiphous told you way out!" The black and white furry man stepped into the light and a horrible stink burned the hairs in Ranma's nostrils. "Now you must die!"
"No thanks, man, your stink's enough ta kill an elephant!" He stepped back as the talking, walking skunk growled and a faint greenish-yellow tainted the air.
"Stinkor teach you lesson, hairless one!"
"Stay back! I'm warning you!"
Stinkor chortled and felt his skin starting to boil with the glandular fluid that gave him his name. "Ha! Ha! Take this!"
A focused spray of noxious fumes spewed from the vaguely feline creature's palms and splashed against Ranma's skin. Hacking and coughing, tears in his eyes, the Neriman stumbled up to the Master of Odor and blindly punched, crushing the breathing mask over Stinkor's muzzle and sending him through a stone wall. The stink lingered.
"Dammit! Now I can't wear these clothes anymore!" Just as he pulled down the leather britches with the torn hole in the behind, a rumbling arose around him. "What now?"
"Now you did for pissin' on me!" Beast-Man appeared around the bend riding a one-eyed snake. "Me'n my one-eyed T'Wowser Snake'll take care'a you!"
Given his nudity, Ranma couldn't help but take Beast-Man's threat in a sexual context. He promptly burst out laughing.
"You gonna laugh at me!?" Beast-Man drove his massive squiring snake forward, the seam under the great beast's eye splitting open to expose a multi-toothed mouth. "Get'em boy!"
Still laughing, Ranma ran along the circular tunnel's walls in a spiral, dodging the T'Wowser Snake's teeth-
