As Kaleed heard what was happening, the wheels in the back of his mind were turning.<br/><br/>Should he just run and leave this damned outpost?<br/><br/>A small group of the beings were growing closer.<br/><br/>As he began shaking his head to clear the doubts away, he heard the door swing open behind him. He had heard the commanding voice order him to drop his weapons and surrender but he deemed these special circumstances. Clenching his weapons, he leaped backwards. He refused to take his eyes off of the monstrosities, and sure enough, one was not ten feet away.<br/><br/>Snapping his arm up, he tried to throw one of his daggers at the thing midair.  Flying from his fingers, with a sickening thud, the dagger went into the torso of the fleshless gold flecked man just below the 5th rib on its right side. It stumbled backwards, momentarily going to one knee, before it began to scream laughter and resume its stalk.<br/><br/>Kaleed landed with a jarring thud on his back about 4 feet inside, disoriented but gesturing wildly outside, he tried to rise to his feet.
