Even Stedd, the Monk was starting to worry about the lack of encounters down this latest tunnel.After the better part of a day's travelling, the group finally settled on a convenient cavern to rest in. Just as Halbrinn was preparing to create an illusion of the party resting further up the tunnel, Miles heard something.Back the way they had come, a skittering, clinking, clattering noise."What is it?""How should I know?""You're a divine oracle, you're supposed to be able to find these things out!""I keep telling you, I'm just a priest!""Yeah, but you want to be an Oracle. So get oracular!"Shrugging, the arcane casters and Miles left the two clerics in their discussion, and began setting up an ambush on the creature which was coming towards them.Halbrinn's Persistent Image of the party was replaced by a pair of walls down the centre of the cavern, making it look like a continuation of the same meandering tunnel. Given the gnome's mastery of the illusory arts, even the group which stood watching him cast the spell had trouble persuading themselves that they weren't somehow caught in the walls!Splitting up, the group waited tensely for whatever it was, and the clattering grew louder and closer. It paused some distance from the edge of their 'cavern', and a faint snuffling noise could be heard amidst the chitinous clatter. Then the movement continued, and the hideous entity floated into view.A huge greyish rubbery ball of a body was surrounded by 10 long tentacles, each tipped with a claw and a strange fanged mouth. A large ill-shaped central eye darted in every direction, whilst the tentacles clattered off the floor and the 'walls'. Clearly, the aberation was following their trail. Then, in the centre of the cavern, and plainly fooled by the 'walls', the creature stopped and floated in mid-air.</blockquote>
