Shadows stretch across the second level's damp stone as a young half-elf stumbles blindly. Tears stream down her pale face, blue eyes wide with terror. Behind her, the hiss of scales grows louder. "H-heeelp!" she sobs, voice cracking. Her foot catches on a loose pebble; she crashes face-first into the grit. Rolling over, she meets the basilisk's gaze. Claws rake her arm, drawing blood. Poison burns through her veins, vision swimming. The end approaches.
