Roan took one look at it, made a choking sound and ran. There was no way he could fight the monstrous thing and hope to win. Its triangular head had a mouth so large that it could swallow him whole and its body was a mass of muscle as thick around as a fifty-gallon drum.

Despite its size, the snake was terrifyingly fast and caught up to Roan in seconds. He could hear its excited hiss growing louder and louder behind him and the only thing he could think to do was to throw himself into one of the strange machines.

The closest was something that looked like it could double as either a torture device or a taffy puller. It was made of wood and spring and odd levers. Since it wasn’t exactly solid appearing, Roan leapt into it rather than onto it. One leg sunk through the cables, while the other found something firm enough to propel himself to a slightly higher level.

The snake zigzagged under the machine and reared up on the other side. Roan slashed at it with the Doom blade and hacked four inches deep. If this hurt the snake, he couldn’t tell. It didn’t slow it, that was for certain. It lunged in, snapping five-inch long teeth onto Roan’s left arm(Damage -8HP).

Before he knew it, Roan was being dragged from the machine and he could imagine being pulled down into some dark tunnel where he’d be slowly eaten alive by the creature. The frightening thought allowed him to overcome the intense fire-like pain and drive the sword into the snake’s left eye.

It jerked its massive head and Roan was sent flying, landing in a bin of blue cotton that had been recently dyed. The stench of the chemicals was eye watering and strong enough to cover his odor. Forty feet away, the snake coiled itself over and over in little circles, looking for him with its one remaining eye and sniffing for him as snakes do with their flicking tongues.

Hoping that the snake had the limited intelligence of its smaller cousins, Roan pulled a silver piece from his pouch and threw it across the mill. When it clinked and rolled, the snake shot away. Roan wasted no time. Hopping out of the bin, he ran for the ladder. Now that his sword was out in the open, its light was a beacon and the snake turned on the spot and came at the speed of a freight train.

Roan saw he wasn’t going to make it. Near another loom was an iron girder that he hoped to use as a tactical shield against the creature; hiding behind it and leaping out to strike when he could. All he needed was to take out the snake’s right eye and it would be helpless.

The snake did indeed have limited intelligence, but it made up for that with instinct. It wasn’t going to give Roan the chance of blinding it. Instead of attacking with its blood-dripping fangs, it threw a loop of its long body around the girder and Roan.
