<p>The creature is halfway down the ramp when it pauses to sniff the cool air. With a snickering sound, it crinkles back its snout and allows a stream of saliva to trickle freely from its quavering jaw. In its present state of ravenous hunger it has detected the aroma of something it finds even more enticing than the scent of human flesh: Muntaag honey.</p>
- <p>You sense the cause of its sudden delirium and hurriedly you retrieve from your backpack the package of leaves which contains the honey. The beast lets out a desperate howl and quickly you hurl the package towards the entrance to prevent it from leaping wildly upon you.

<p>Your arrow buries itself deeply into the creature<ch.apos/>s throat and brings it crashing to the ground. Howling with pain, it rises unsteadily and looks at you with eyes that blaze like two fiery suns. It has suffered a near-fatal wound yet you sense it still possesses strength enough to rend you limb from limb. You draw another arrow to your bow but the sight is enough to break the creature<ch.apos/>s nerve and, with a final shriek, it scrambles away up the ramp. You watch it disappear through the archway before you shoulder your bow and turn your attention to the portal. You are anxious to examine its surface and find a way to open it.</p>
