Subject: [KQ] Rhoan: [Warehouse] Up close and personal

	Rhoan launched his axe toward the eye of the creature.  His aim, as
usual, was true; but at the last moment, a tentical reached up and blocked
the axe's path.  "Damn, hate it when that happens."

	Rhoan grabbed his battle-axe with both hands and began fending off
the errant tenticals.  After a few slices it became obvious that playing around
with the tenticals was just annoying the beast.

	"Somebody has to get in to the body!"  Rhoan yelled over the noise of
battle.  Rhoan tightened his grip on his axe and started forward, chopping 
at the flailing limbs as if they were vines slowly he made his way forward
until he was within striking range.  Just as he brought his battle-axe down
on the Leviathan's body, a tentical snaked around and grabbed him from 
behind.  The axe stuck in the creatures body and was ripped from Rhoan's
grasp as he was suddenly hoisted into the air.  Rhoan was able to reach 
around and grab his second hand-axe.  He began to try to hack his way
out, but the going was too slow.  The creature was pulling him toward
its great maw.  Rhoan stopped his futile hacking and prepared to strike 
a blow as the creature pulled him in.  Things did not look good.
