Bloated Bargaining

Agatha explains her plan to you, and instructs you on what you need to do. It seems a bit difficult, but at this point you'd be happy to get out of this by the skin of your teeth. It isn't long though before your arms start trying to seek out the food in the rest of the room as you begin digesting your load. Your able to try keep it at bay by standing in the center of the room where they can't reach anything by which to drag yourself over, and your bulk at this point is enough to keep it from being dragged there easily.

"Hey guard!" you yell, "GUARD, get Blathory here would you?" You can't really hear anything but continue calling for a while. Hoping to get some attention. For a long time, you get no response, and despite not doing much moving, trying to keep yourself in one spot starts to make your legs tire with the amount of weight you've put on in your latest binge. Eventually, one of your knees buckle and you topple to the side, catching yourself on a shelf. Instantly your hands grip it and grabs the first cake and stuffs it into your mouth, and quickly moves onto the next.

"What have you been yelling about?" comes Blathory as she floats through the door. By this point your seated in the center of the room, surrounded by cakes and covered in crumbs as your arms force feed you one after the other. Your attempts to get away from the food at this point is prooving futile, and your slowly bulking up. You shirt is riding up leaving your gut splayed across your lap, over your knees and encrouching on your toes. "Ahhh, it looks like your making good progress," she says, pleased. "Ok, look Blathory, I want to ... gulp... strike a deal." you say between bites. "Oh really, I don't think your in much position to offer anything." She says, "I already have what I want, the castle, my sister gone..."

"How about her workshop?" You offer, before having a whole chocolate cake shoved in your mouth. "Stop!" orders Blathory, and your arms drop everything. "What are you getting at, you made it clear you were'nt going to betray my sister." She says suspiciously. "That was when she was promising to get me back to normal, but she isn't going to be keeping any promises to me now is she?" You say, "I mean, there's no real point of being loyal to her when she's in my belly." you pat the sphereical blobcausing it to wobble uncontrolably, "And if I can strike a deal with you, well isn't it better to have me on your side?"

Blathory still looks suspicious. "Your saying you were 'using' my sister to get what you wanted?" He cracks a little bit of a smile, "I like that, what exactly were you hoping to get out of a deal with me?" she asks. "Well, for one, not being fattened up into a bean bag would be nice. Maybe get rid of the flab althogether. If you want the castle, that's fine by me, as long as I get what I want and live comfortably without someone trying to kill, immobilize, or otherwise my my life a living hell, you can have whatever you want."

You remember what Agatha told you: "Blathory is a big believer in the inherent selfishness of people. Convince her that your only interested in looking out for yourself, get on her good side, offer her what she wants and gain her trust. If you can manage that, we can start acting on phase two."

The only question is will Blathory buy your story. From your current size she could probably have you unable to move in a matter of hours. Hopefully your convincing enough that she see's the benefit of not turning you into a parade blimp...
