When I 'heard' Nero calling for me to come into the room above, I quickly climbed through the hatch. I almost choked as an odor assailed my nose as soon as I stuck my head through the opening. Gagging I turned my head swiftly toward the corner, hearing a low growling rumble that suddenly turned into a full throated roar. A beast slunk out of the corner that can only be described as an abomination against nature. It had the appearance of something that had once possibly been a wolf that had been born wrong, two headed and the heads appeared to dislike each other almost as much as they wanted to get to us. A greyish black with slashes cut down it sides, weeping pus from infection, the beast was obviously in pain. It had six legs, the front two held out in front of it almost like hands but ending in deadly claws. The other four it was currently using to slink toward us all the while making a high keening whine. I looked into it's eyes and saw no sanity there.
I pulled my sword and prepared to fight.
