Bab 59: Yul's Game

The thing that had worked it's way up his body swayed into view. It was an extremely long muscular arm but at its tip were five, baby sized hands. Its skin matched that of the face in the ceiling.

As he stared, horrified at yet another disturbing image, the face began to move. To be more precise, its beard was moving. Kace could hear numerous things sliding across the ground before him.

With complete horror he realised that this baby handed tentacle was actually just one of many strands that made up the creatures beard. 'How many would there be? A hundred? Maybe two hundred?' Panic completely sunk into his brain.

In this situation there would be no fighting back and no escaping either. His fingers gripped his halberd tight, for the first time in a long time he felt completely helpless. He had no idea what this thing could do, just facing the bearded tentacles would take up all his concentration to put up a small and futile fight.
