In the far end of the chamber, he could hear Glom fishing in the noisome water, occasionally giggling in glee over some trinket that he had found.   Selanil took Horsom's weight, allowing Dain to straighten.  The dwarf readied Tor-Angol.Now Kregor could see the creature approaching.  A great reptilian head the size of a man rounded the curve in the passage, covered with knobby scales and patches of black bristles as thick as wire.  Its eyes were large and pale, lidless and white, like the eyes of the blind fish that dwell in caverns forever removed from the sun.  Its flesh was translucent, allowing Kregor to see its saliva-coated teeth and thick tongue through its lips.As it pulled itself toward the burial chamber on spindly, chitanous legs, Kregor could see that it was huge and partly soft, with knobby plates of scale and expanses of pale, flabby putrescence.  It looked almost like some hideous and malevolent cross between a spider and a crocodile, and it stank.For a moment, the horror of the thing almost unmanned the half-orc, sturdy though he was.  Then he overcame the fear and maddening horror that the mere sight of the thing had caused, and rasped out a warning to his comrades.</blockquote>
