The corpses of people who once looked up to and trusted you lying behind you, you make your way forward. Far beneath you, the metallic growl grows ever stronger and more plaintive. You head down the passageway.

The hallway is criss-crossed with spiderwebs. Taking the torches further could easily set this entire rattrap building ablaze. The webs are cleared beneath your knees--child height. You presume that the beast knows the path well, and can manoeuvre through it. Trying to follow its specific route might possibly allow you to bring the torches, but would be very slow going. Ahead, you can hear both the beast and the child in the distance.
