 Even as you scramble from your hiding place a huge boulder slams into the mound, sending broken stone and crystal showering in all directions. You have no cover, but in the clouds of dust and grit that erupts with the impact you remain hidden just long enough to pick up a sizeable piece of stone and throw it with all your strength into the shadows behind the raging beast. With a loud crash it hits the wall and bounces onto the stone floor, clattering upon the cold granite as it comes to rest. The noise sends the Dragon after its source and in that moment of opportunity you turn for the western exit and run with all the strength you have left to you.
Ahead the exit is a wide opening into the stone and as you run you can hear the creature turning, its huge bulk smashing into pillars of rock and crystal as it senses your presence and realises your deception. From the shadows another scream pounds through the cavern however this time you have no intention of hiding. Running at full speed you make the threshold to the passage, the Dragon narrowing the distance between you with every step you take. It is just as you think you have made the safety of the corridor beyond that you come to a painful halt.
From out of the passageway ahead a barrier of gleaming energy rises before you. Unable to stop in time you slam into its edges, a tangible wall of energy grabbing at your rushing form and throwing you back into the cavern. In a cloud of dust you fall onto the floor, but the Druhl is at your heels and you have no time to recover. Rolling back onto your feet you shake your head and turn to see the beast bearing down upon you. In a matter of seconds you are going to die.
