Montelban, The Renown Thief of Dwarven Skulls, ran out of the back entrance of the pub. The Insane Knight and Tlod raced after.

Montelban clung tightly to the sack containing Tlod’s head as he hurried down the dark alleys of Avaloniaburgtown. He glanced back and noticed that the headless dwarf was gaining on him. He tripped over something at the end of an alley and hit the ground hard. As he pulled himself back up he saw that he had tripped over a long, snake-like tail, which was attached to the figure of a woman.

“A M-m-m-medusa?!?” he gasped.

Montelban ran away as fast as his feet would carry him.Tlod came scuttling out of the darkness and jumped over the tail without a glance at the Medusa.

A few seconds passed.

“Pardon me, kind lady,” The Insane Knight said, “did you see which way my friend ran? We’re chasing some….”

The Medusa hissed as the snakes growing out of her head snapped at him.

“Die!” she spat.

“En Garde, you bitch!” he shouted as he unsheathed his Imaginary Sword.
