So far, they had suffered very little, and at the cost of a dispel, a silence had destroyed three powerful foes, and their bags were groaning with enchanted loot. Grinning to one another, they moved to another door, and Miles pulled it open.Beyond lay a dusty library, with stairs winding up the side of the building towards the ceiling which lay so far above them than none of them could see it in the darkness.Books lay torn and bloodied on the floor, amongst ripped up and bloody body parts. Amongst all of this stood several human-sized forms, squabbling amongst themselves over a particularly tasty morsel. As the door opened, they ceased their noise, and turned to face the Crusaders.Seven inhuman snouts turned in Miles' direction. Seven sets of pointed claws flexed and grasped the air, as though testing their reach and strength. And seven long grey tongues lolled out of huge wide mouths, snaking around as though to taste the air. Each tongue protruded almost a foot from the mouth, before dissolving into smoke. The creatures' hands and feet consisted simply of two long toes, each tipped with an eight inch black spur. Without even looking at his companions, Miles drew his first sword, and leapt into the room, yelling a battle cry which was echoed by his glowing blade."Kill them all!".oOo.His blade slashed down, glancing off toughened flesh. Hasted, he brought Slayer around again, poking into the creature's hide but causing only minimal damage. His left hand tore Scourge out of its scabbard, and plunged the blade unerringly towards the reeking creature's midriff, only to find that all his magically enhanced might yielded was another shallow slice across the thing's belly.The abyssal ghoul licked its lips. This was going to be fun…</blockquote>
