As you transcribe the runes, a 6 foot Runespoor is hiding on the opposite side of the door, sensing your every move. It is so well concealed that you don’t notice it.

Seconds after you transcribe the first line of the runic message, and start searching for the creature, you hear a series of quiet hissing sounds, but where is it coming from? The creature is nowhere in sight, but it is surely there. The left head is preparing the others.

Do you know enough about this creature to protect yourself?

Their tongues flicker in and out of their mouths, tasting the air to see if you are a threat. Apparently it didn’t like what it tasted, because soon enough they loudly hiss, launching their large body towards you from behind the door, fangs bared!
