Who do you come across?
Someone with a knife
You pass through the dark room into an even darker corridor, walking softly and slowly. You can only see the faint outlines of doors and furniture beyond the blade you carry raised in front of you where moonlight and distant firelight catch them, and you can't hear anything...
Wait. What was that? A faint creak, behind you...
You whirl around just in time to deflect the knife as it comes down, knocking the would-be stabber's arm aside at the last moment. She gives up a shriek and lunges at you again.
