Andrea nearly jumped out of her skin at the sudden sound behind and above her.   Everything had been so utterly quiet, that the even the relatively quiet grumble the beast made echoed loudly in the cave.  Before she is even able to turn to face the creature that makes the noise, she feels the appendages wrapping around her upper arms and mid-thighs.  She takes the flashlight held in her right hand, and bangs it several times against the fleshy organ closing round her left.   But the appendage is too strong, and she only succeeds in smashing the light....plunging her into the near darkness of the dimly glowing pool.<br/><br/>As she struggles to free herself from the tentacles encircling her arms and legs, she feels another wrap itself around her midsection.   This one, slightly thicker and more powerful than the others, begins to pull her backwards along the cavern floor.   Unable to resist the strength of its pull, she stumbles backwards until she feels her shoulders press into a soft, amorphous body.  Almost in a panic now, she started to claw at the binding on her arms.   However, any purchase she might have had on the tentacles vanished, as she found her flight suit becoming coated in a thick, slimy liquid.
