Both you and Salamdros hit the foul beast, and it falls dead. You hear something above your heads, and look up to see another creature dangling in the hole. Salamdros raises his hands and chants a quick series of mystic words. A light flashes from his fingertips and strikes the creature. It screams horribly, then drops into the room and charges the elf. Salamdros scrambles back, trying to avoid the beast, while you attack it from behind. His maneuvers do no good, the creature quickly corners him. Salamdros screams horribly as the beast strikes him. You may swing once at the creature (AC 15). If you hit, go to page 167. If you miss, go to page 168.
