CHAPTER TEN

The large lizard ignored the chaos it was creating and busied itself with slurping down rats.

Rob approached it cautiously, shield held close to his left side, sword at the ready on his right. He felt his heart jack-hammering in his chest and his palms became sweaty.

Was this thing a trench lizard?

A prompt appeared in answer.

Creature: Trench Lizard

Hit Points: 20, Mana: 0

Armor: 5, Speed: 8

As he got closer, he could see the thick diamond shaped scales covering its entire body. A bright green stripe lined down its spine, from the top of its snout all the way to the tip of its thick tail.

It gripped at the table with large black claws which scratched deep groves into the wood.

Totally absorbed in its meal, the creature all but ignored Rob.

Rob took another step closer, then jabbed forward with the sword. The point clicked off the scales of its shoulder and the lizard stopped eating.

It hissed at him, yellow eyes glaring.

Rob jabbed at it again, this time putting his whole body into the motion. The sword point broke through the scales on its side and pierced deeply into the flesh.

The lizard shrieked in pain, recoiling. Locking eyes onto Rob, its back legs curled underneath it.

“Be careful, my Lord!” Saif shouted. “It's going to-.”

The lizard sprang forward and flew through the air.

Surprised, Rob raised his shield just as the creature slammed into him. The lizard latched onto the shield with its claws and pulled its head over the top to snap at him.

Oh, crap! Rob thought. The weight of the lizard was too heavy for him to hold up, and he was forced to release the shield.

As the shield dropped to the ground, the lizard jumped away. It hissed again and charged at Rob.

Rob jabbed at it repeatedly, trying to keep it at bay, but he was forced to step backwards. The thing was tenacious!

It lashed its thick tail back and forth, agitated, waiting for an opening.

Rob could see curled fangs in its mouth. Thick saliva dripped down its jaw.

Growing frustrated, Rob took a chance and raised his sword to strike downward.

Without giving any indication, the lizard sprang forward, again.

But Rob's sword was already in mid-swing. He caught the creature on its side with the full strength of the blow.

With a piercing cry, the lizard fell to the ground with a split in its scales revealing a deep wound. But it didn't collapse and die like Rob hoped it would. Instead, it scuttled a short distance away.

Rob took the opportunity to scoop up his shield and slid his arm through the straps.

The lizard watched him, hissing and rocking from side to side on its legs. Its wound glistened in the sun.

Now with the additional protection of the shield, Rob moved forward. He was going to end this thing.

The creature didn't flee as he approached, only gazed at him with hateful yellow eyes. It slapped its tail on the ground, kicking up mud.

Once in range, Rob jabbed again. The lizard was low to the ground and swinging his sword might throw him off balance in the mud.
