** Sorry, just good to get you all posting again, and make sure everyone's on board
You guys slowly enter the room, "hugging" the west wall. As you approach the table, you see that there definitely isn't anything on it. The room is revealed to be about another 20' or 30' past the table with a fireplace at the end of the north wall.
Suddenly, what looks to be a 4' hairy globe with tentacles swings down from the beams in the ceiling. The hair is brown and the body is green; it seems to have blended in somewhat with the room decor so you didn't notice it before. In the center of the globe is a huge, toothy mouth.
You're not surprised, but it has the initiative.
A tentacle comes down and you can see it's covered with suckers. It grabs at Kurik but misses. One grabs Patrick and squeezes. One grabs Bertrem and squeezes. Si'Nat dodges two. Kurik dodges another one. One grabs Rondo and squeezes. Cugel dodges one. Si'Nat is finally grabbed by one and squeezed.
Your turn: your arms are still free for those who got grabbed; the tentacle wrapped aorund the waist.
