Whatever the creature was, it was between Landa and Alcina and it was blocking the door of the small room that Landa was in.  In the complete and utter darkness though, there was little else that could be determined.  The sound seemed steady now for both women, and occasionally both would feel something prod at their feet or legs.  It hadn't attacked, yet, it almost seemed curious.  If they yanked back or struck at it it retreated, only to return seconds later.  It seemed to be growing bolder however and it wasn't long before one scaly, hard, appendage became two, then three.<br/><br/>There had, Landa thought, been a lamp in the room earlier that the orcs had been using as they argued.  It was no longer lit, and getting to where she remembered it would mean going closer to the creature, but it was likely still there.
