94

The creature leaps upon you as you are falling backwards and you tumble down the circular stairs, locked together in a deadly embrace. It hits the floor of the landing below and its body cushions your impact, enabling you to recover quickly and unsheathe your weapon. The creature is momentarily stunned by the fall and you seize the opportunity to attack it before it can get to its feet.
