As the adventurers drag their assailant's body from the darkness, they see that it resembles a leather-skinned squid, nine crimson eyes ringing its body -- there had been ten, but a sling stone has smashed one of them in. There are bony ridges above each eye, and nestled amongst its ten arms is a razor-sharp beak. Nobody recognizes it, but both Jerolan and Baeril are confident that whatever it is, it came from one of the lower planes.
[SBLOCK=Baeril]Baeril also doesn't think this creature would have been capable of planar travel on its own. It may have been brought over, or it may have come through a portal.[/SBLOCK]
The room in which they fought the beast remains dark for several minutes.
[SBLOCK=OOC]Nobody has Knowledge: Nature or Knowledge: Dungeoneering. Baeril: Knowledge (Arcana) 18+7 = 25; Jerolan: Knowledge (The Planes) 18+4 =22.[/SBLOCK]
