The group eagerly passed through the doors which mysteriously opened as they approached, and edged into the room. Suddenly all hell broke loose. In the centre of the cavernous room, a demonic figure, with a flaring trunk and enormous flappy ears drew itself up. Smoke wreathed around it’s huge and fearsome form. “Bloody Hell! A demon!” Mango went white. “Erm... I think I’ve just been hit with a fear spell. Sorry guys, I’m off.” Mango ducked back out into the corridor and scarpered. Wilson peered up at the beast with open curiosity. “It can’t be a demon, we’re not high enough level!” he declared. “Course it is”, answered Virgil. “It has all the classical demonic aspects - claws, fangs, smoke, beady red eyes.” “But look at its nose”, said Wilson.
