Room 7

(If you've already visited this room you now find it empty. Click HERE to choose an exit.)

This strange circular chamber has two exits from it. One to the Northeast (Room 10) and one to the East (Room 8).

As you step into the room you immediately find yourself in hip deep water. Before you are two things, one mundane and one peculiar.

Directly in front of you is a thin stone pylon jutting up from the water. Atop it was an rectangular flat emerald. One of the items you needed to get out of this dungeon. There it was, right in front of you, nothing stopping you from taking it. You study the pylon but it seemed to be simple solid stone.

You tentatively reach out and take the gem. Nothing happens.

(Add 1 Emerald to your Items.)

That was it, as far as you knew you could leave now. You got what you needed from the room.

Your eyes pan over to other area of interest. It was a huge mass of squirming, slithering tentacles rising up out of the water in a semi hemispherical dome. The tentacles are a thick rubbery grey green color with pink veiny tongue like tips. The very tip of each is an even lighter shade of pink with a small opening at the end. Strange yellow eyes are embedded in the tentacles here and there. The ones closest to you had shifted your way. Whatever this horror was there was no doubt that it already saw you.

You glance toward the exits. The creature or creatures was well away from them. You had a clear shot out if you wanted it.

At first you are not sure if it is just one solid mass or if there was space within it.

You soon see a brief break in the slithering wall of the dome. There was an area within. As the break opens you hear a feminine mewl and a cry for mercy. "Reeow...let me goooo!"

The tentacles close up once more.

You look down at the emerald in your hand. You had what you needed. You didn't need to involve yourself in whatever was happening here. That tentacled horror looked like a formidable adversary.

But...there seemed to be a woman in distress!
