Lair of the Unidragon, Page Eleven
Suddenly, it doesn't matter whether you trust him or not--he takes control of the situation himself! With surprising strength, he yanks himself out of your grip and snatches his equipment back, then unrolls a scroll to reveal a small, hollow reed and many long, fine, gleaming needles.
A blowgun. And darts.
You should have known, you think ruefully. The favoured weapon of the Forest Dwellers--and just as lethal as it is easy to conceal.
Meanwhile, he dips his needles into the bottle of "ink", then fires at you! Luckily he misses because, having very quick reflexes, you duck just in time. You decide not to stick around and find out exactly what is in that bottle.
In other words, you RUN.
When he sees this, he pulls something from another scroll--a long, thin, silver whistle. He blows a piercing note that just about shatters your sensitive pointed ears, and large, furry Forest-Dwellers pop up on all sides, all blowing darts at you!
It could be worse, you think as you duck and weave through the trees, but not much.
