### 27

You reach down into the mire and unsheathe your weapon, but it has only just cleared the scabbard when a terrible pain knifes through your lower right leg. The unseen pit-beast has clamped its powerful jaws around your calf and is attempting to drag you below the surface of the bog. Desperately you stab blindly with your weapon at the creature’s head in an attempt to cut yourself free from its vice-tight grip.
