"Don't stop playing." The bodies around her screamed as they were engulfed in a fiery blaze. Another sip of the unsatisfactory wine passed the woman's lips as the dregs in her glass evaporated. The female adventurer unconsciously requested a refill, but then realized the former bartender was now a smoldering corpse leaning on her combusting granite table. To the musician's credit, he continued to play despite the disturbance behind the woman.
The reflection in her glass revealed the creature behind her.
A towering hairy lion. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it squirms and fidgets. Its carmine hair is long and shaggy. Beware its flaming breath! Hurried footsteps rushed down the hallway. The Captain of the Guard screamed in warning as the talons split a nearby spear-dwarf in half. Panic spread across the fortress like the lion's flames, the twitching of a newly dead corpse.
The creature's claws swiftly descended upon the woman next, a second desperate warning being shouted by the Captain as he ran to the rescue.
The adventurer grabbed one talon and jerked it upwards against the beast's downward swing, snapping it off from the foot. Blood sprayed and the monstrous lion screamed as the talon was launched through its brain and embedded in the stone wall some fifty feet away.
She unconsciously requested a refill. The burning tavern keeper naturally didn't respond.
