+pyrolisk
+       At first glance around the corner, I thought it was another 
+       cockatrice. I had encountered the wretched creatures two or
+       three times since leaving the open area. I quickly ducked my 
+       head back and considered what to do next. My heart had begun
+       to thump audibly as I patted my pack to make sure I still had 
+       the dead lizards at close reach. A check of my attire showed
+       no obvious holes or damage. I had to keep moving. One deep
+       breath, and a count of three, two, one, and around the corner 
+       I bolted. But it was no cockatrice! I felt a sudden intense 
+       searing of the skin around my face, and flames began to leap
+       from my pack. I tossed it to the ground, and quickly retreated
+       back, around that corner, desperately striving to get out of 
+       its sight.
