So, you fancy tangling with monsters eh? well dungeons and monsters, they do sort of go together, ---- or at least fantasy type dungeons full of treasure and such, your average bog standard smelly stony place where medeval nobles chucked their criminals was probably less monster wridden.

either way, monsters you want, and monsters you shal have!

Opening the door, you actually find the sign was telling the truth, because behind it there is in fact a 7 headed monster.

If you imagine Cerberus, the three headed dog that guards the gates of Hades, then imagine four more heads. Then imagine that the Griek chappy doing the fresco of Cerberus had just found out that his wife had run off with a big blond hunk from Troi, taking all his slaves, weaponry, gold and oil, and leaving him with only two drakmas to rub together which he bet on a chariot with 1000 to 1 odds which then of course ended up losing badly, so now has been doing some serious devotion to Dianysus, aka, getting roundly pissed on Athenian wine.

So when it comes to painting the dog of death he got a bit carried away and added in green slimy scales, evil yellow eyes, a gigantic tale with nasty spiky bits, more claws than you can see in a Supermarkit's christmas advertising and some really unfriendly looking horns.

So, this is the monster you've got, an ancient Griek drunk's nightmare, and it's got 7 maws full of very seriously pointy teeth all pointed at you, and all looking very pointedly hungry!

What now?

run like the clappers.

use the gobstoppers if you have them of course.
