### 232

Your arrow pierces the leading creature's arm. It staggers and howls abysmally as a thick, green fluid oozes from the wound. To your surprise and disgust, the others leap upon their injured companion, biting and clawing at the wound with their teeth and talons. The limb is swiftly torn from the body and consumed.

If you wish to draw another arrow and fire again, turn to 152.

If you decide to shoulder your bow and evade these ghoulish creatures by escaping into the archway opposite, turn to 241.
