Strange Fortune

[Aeti]

You break out into a sprint. Your footsteps echo in the hallway as you outpace the fire. Behind you, you hear the crashes of timbers as the wing collapses. At this pace, the entire mansion is minutes away from being consumed in flame.

You reach the six sided room, and come to an abrupt halt. The pit in the center has a column of smoke rising from it. Within the smoke, you see the movement of something massive. Several large tentacles appear from within the smoke, hauling up a creature of nightmare. It has four powerful legs, and three spiked tentacles rising from its slimy flanks. The stench of it penetrates through the smoke and fouls your nose. Bloodshot eyes along the tentacles focus on you. It stands at the edge of the pit and opens its knife-lined mouth for a soul shaking screech.

Whiskey skids to a halt and lets out an alarmed bark, his little face a mixture of nerves and fascination. He concentrates and a large orb of fire materializes and moves towards the beast.

Arf, eager to take the first piece of the exotic enemy, bounds forth with a snarl.
