EX. The moblins carefully crept down the hall past piles of shattered armor and body parts, stepping over their fallen comerades, as they attempted to search for the trespasser. Up ahead, they saw a shadow with two points like horns extending from its head, in the fountain room. The smallest moblin, Gormo, carefully took the lead and peaked into the chamber.

He was forced to watch in horror as his friends were each cut down, paralyzed, trying desperately to get free. The last thing he saw the blood-splattered face of the demon as it rose it's sword high above it's head and let out a howl of  

"HYAAAH!"
