[094] [174] [039] [111] [267] Consequences!
Another long, soul-crushing day today, although at least I got most of my running around done yesterday so I can drop the money on some paid accounts later. SotP is here, my brother is done school for the summer, and I am so ready for June to be over that it's not even funny. Onward!
Taking a deep breath, you lean over the pit and plunge your forearm into the mass of wriggling worms. They are cold and clammy and feel extremely nasty, but at least they are harmless and you are able to seize the dagger by the hilt. You give it a hard tug and it comes away from the crack in which the tip was embedded. Admiring its beauty, and wondering whether it might once have belonged to some luckless contestant, you put the opal-studded dagger firmly in your belt and leave the cavern.
As you make your way back to the doorway, the buzzing sound increases in intensity, and you look around desperately to discover where it is coming from. Glancing up in the nick of time, you see the huge and grotesque black shape of a GIANT FLY emerging from a recess high up in the cavern wall. As it gets closer, you realize that it is at least one and a half metres long. Its opaque wings vibrate, making the sickening buzzing noise you can hear, and its six black hairy legs are posed to grasp your body. Below its multi-faceted eyes is a long, shiny, black proboscis, which darts in and out venomously. You have stolen the Giant Fly's treasure from her brood of maggots, and you must take the consequences.
Luck roll!
You manage to evade the outstretched legs of the diving Giant Fly. Stepping back, you draw your sword and prepare to fight the hideous insect as it turns to attack you again.
GIANT FLY (Skill 7, Stamina 8)
You have the option to escape from this fight, but that means the thing gets a free hit in, and since you're still in pretty good shape, I'mma go ahead and make you stick this one out.
You wipe the vile yellow slime from the blade of your sword and walk quickly to the door, back into the tunnel and head north.
Then tunnel ends shortly at a junction. Looking left and right, you see a narrow passage disappearing into the dim distance.
