Bujilli: Episode 4

Previously...
The floor collapsed. Bujilli salvaged a stout bit of wood and made his way further into the ruins beneath Zormur's Palace...

Bujilli padded over towards the newfound door. He intended to cast his Listen To Walls spell. It seemed like a good way to find out what was back there, without falling afoul of murder holes, pit traps or worse. He'd heard about a massive pendulum-blade that had been set-up as a trap in one of the buried monasteries back home. Three would-be thieves had been slashed in half before the rest of their party could escape. Too bad his uncle had been one of the lucky ones that day.

He took a deep breath. The tulwar rested smoothly in his calloused left hand. The Gloomlight Glyph hovered at his right shoulder. He reached out to touch the--

CRASH

A horrid-smelling cloud of vapors roared through the gaping hole of the doorway before him.

Bujilli backed away from the roiling, coiling gasses pouring into the chamber.

Should Bujilli lunge forward and attack with his tulwar?

Should he withdraw from the chamber?

Maybe Bujilli could cast an attack spell at the thing?
But which one?

Would Bujilli dare to trying to talk to the thing?

He could just run away screaming...

You Decide.
