Meridoc revealed a key and slid into the inn room, but abruptly shut the door in my face… I then decided he was a private fellow, so I retired to my own room after acquiring a key. After I entered the room I locked the door, and attempted to sleep. I tried to sleep for several minutes, but I was unable for some reason.
I exited the room, and to my amazement there were black elves climbing through the broken window they, undoubtedly, caused. There were at least three of these dark elves. I had never seen them, so I started to bang on Meridoc's room door. He burst through his room door knocking me on the floor. When I got back up I realized that Meridoc was fighting these dark elves… and on top of that, he was winning. However, one elf started to stare at me.
The elf made some gestures of the hands and said some words I did not understand… Then, out of nowhere, there was a spider right in front of me. I started to panic, so I ran, but the spider followed me. Meridoc started to run after me, but was unable to make it…
I felt a sharp, agonizing pain shoot through my lower back. I began to feel, and see, a dark red liquid run down my leg. I fell over due to this trauma. As I looked up I saw the spider glaring over me, clasping its fangs together. I then managed to take a glimpse of the spider's leg… it was red with my blood.
