Chapter 7 by SweetDepravity SweetDepravity

How does the coin land?

It's heads

The glimmering gold token spirals through the air, before landing heavily in your palm, the visage of Anubis staring up at you with empty eyes.

"Left it is then."

Without any further ado, you begin the long walk down the hallway to the left, clutching your torch tightly as you make your way. While it seems to take a few turns, there don't seem to be any forks in the road. That's a bit odd, if the catacombs are truly as large as the spider-woman said, there should be more passages. Unless of course, they were hidden.

But before you can start looking for secret entrances, a silhouette flickers into view at the edge of the firelight. The closer it creeps, the more of it's features you can make out. The first thing that stands out is it's ghastly white skin, blue veins visible beneath as if it were downright translucent. While it seems slight of build, it's almost apelike gait speaks of wiry strength. The light of your torch finally catches it's face, reflecting eerily in a pare of large, pale eyes. You can't help but cringe in disgust at those bloated orbs, set above deeply sunken cheekbones. Identifying it is all but impossible, it would seem to be just another goblinoid, if not for the mane of scraggly white hair that falls ignorantly about it's face.

If you didn't know any better, you'd say it looked almost human.. But that's impossible, isn't it?

Before you can think to ask, the creature rises up slightly, making it blatantly clear that it's kind wears no clothing. Even the strange being's member is deathly pale, a thick flaccid slab dangling between it's thighs. Eyeing you over warily, it lets out a hiss of warning, whatever this thing is, it's not being very friendly.

In one hand is your trusty torch, still cracking brightly with fire, it's the closest thing to a weapon that you currently posses. In the other is that coin, clenched tightly in your fist. While it's not much, it may just add weight to your own strikes. Lastly, you could always try to reason with the pale fiend, if it is humanoid enough, perhaps it will listen?

How do you deal with the mysterious monster?
