Ryu outstretched the arm holding the torch towards the room he felt the presence in. Squinting his eyes he still was unable to see anything.
"Come. Safe." he said gutturally, after all it could be an ally.
Unfortunately for Ryu, luck was not on his side. As if attracted to the sound a hideous beast emerged. Much like an octopus squeezing through a tight hole much too small for its body a bubbling mass of flesh leisurely squeezed through the doorframe into the much larger entry room. The mass of flesh formed a circular shape with long black tentacles protruding all around its circumference. In between the tentacles there could be seen multiple sets of eyes and mouths. surrounding the mass. The tentacles were long and sturdy covered in miniature black scales impervious to the lowest ranks of magic and most physical attacks.
Ryu could feel several sets of eyes on him and shuddered. The beast was easily twice as tall as he was and it was moving along at a pace that told Ryu he would not be able to escape even if he tried. Ryu did his best to imitate a war cry as he waved his torch at it but it came out sounding weak even to his ears.
The beasts mouths hearing the weak war cry grinned mockingly in unison. Even after its previous meals it was already feeling hungry.
"Beast" Ryu suddenly shouted and threw the torch at the creature. Swatting the torch aside with a tentacle, the creature laughed and opened a mouth that was centrally located. A long black suction cupped tongue protruded grabbing Ryu as he had turned to run. Dragging him closer to his mouth, the mouth expanded before swallowing Ryu whole.
Xarros having heard Ryu's cries but unable to see what was going on remained at the entrance waiting to see what would happen next.
