Another stone slab fell into place, sealing off the watery tunnel, and the only escape.  The moment Keldourn had been waiting for had arrived.  Hidden in a small alcove the Kobold pulled on several strings.  Three lifeless skeletons began to rattle and shake.  Five feet in front of them lay the trigger to the 15ft deep pit trap where his prize rust monster waited.<br/><br/>The paladin was close, only thirty feet away.  He kept an eye on the sharp corner that she would be coming around any second.  His mouth watered in anticipation.  It had been almost two months since the last adventurers had come to these caves.<br/><br/>Fond memories of their battered bodies still lingered fresh in his mind.  He would have to take his time with this one, he had broke the others too early.  She would have to last till the next batch of adventurers came through.  His ears perked.  She was drawing nearer.
