Subject: [KQ] Azzar [Warehouse] The Beast Enraged

Captain and Azzar ran toward the next room as sounds of the battle reached
them.

They watched as

Azzar quickly grabbed an arrow and her short bow.  But where to aim?  It
probably wouldn't do much damage to the arm, but would it shock the creature
into dropping Rhoan?  Perhaps an eye would be better...

She drew back the string and let the magical arrow fly, hoping that in all the
creature's flailing and everyone's hopping around, that the arrow would fly
true.  She held her breath as the arrow struck its mark:  an eye.  The creature
flinched in pain and loosened its grip slightly in a spasm, providing those
trapped by the tentacles an opportunity to escape, if they were quick enough
and strong enough.

The leviathan was now enraged.  It had been struck in one of its few vulnerable
points and it hurt!  The tentacles flailed around, dooming anyone within reach
to a crushing...or anyone still held by a tentacle to a beating...
