Your mind is so clouded by the fear that the creature may launch another fireball at your fleeing back, that you fail to see you are running towards a deadly trap. One of the dusty stone slabs which pave this narrow passageway is set to trigger the trap when any weight is placed upon it. The moment you tread on the slab, a panel in the ceiling ahead drops down to reveal a line of sharpened bone arrow-tips, angled to fire along the passage. You hear a sudden whoosh of escaping gas; then a volley of deadly shafts comes streaking through the dusty air. Instinctively you throw yourself to the ground in an attempt to avoid being skewered by this salvo of ivory arrows.
