Lost City of Khemsa, Forgotten Kingdom of Verulia, Great Eastern Desert, the World of Hyboria
Day Two. Afternoon. 14th day of the month of Yuluk, 1279th year of the Age of Aquilonia
It's a mad house. A mad house.
"AAAAAH! AAAAAH! AAAAAAAAH!"
In the shrieking riot of bloodshed and anarchy, Garrin and Attila are savagely clawed and bitten. (-3hp and -7hp respectively)
"RRROOOOOOAARR!!"
The bone-armored Baboon King (B19) roars a ferocious challenge and lopes toward the nearest unengaged invader: Loche the Pict. The mighty brute lunges forward at the little thief and crashes a glancing blow off Loche's temple with a gnawed-upon human thigh bone. (-2hp)
"Whit th' bloody hell am ah daein' up 'ere?!" Loche yells in frustration.
Arthfael, Attila, Gronda, Kiri, Loche and Mako cannot strike true in the rampaging turmoil of feral attackers.
"EEE! EEEEEE! EEEEE!"
But Roan the barbarian snarls like a wolf as his battle axe decapitates a wild beast. (B10) Its howling head instantly transforms into spewing geyser of crimson.
Amethu of Uthoth clubs a shrieking primate to death with his staff. The beast collapses, brains oozing from a shattered skull. (B14)
Garrin, son of Atlantis buries his long sword into the heart of an advancing baboon, slaying him with one blow! (B20)
Then suddenly the explorers feel it.
A low rumble below the screaming cacophony. The monolithic stone doors are grinding shut.
"OOOOUUH! OOUH! OOOUUUH!"
Actions?!
Map Detail:
Both doors of the revolving hallway are closing.
