It had better look intresting!
As the scrab was charging at me, I realised I was charging at it as well.
Nonononono! Stop!
But it was too late. The scrab mind was dead set.
Note the italics of dead in that sentince.
Ok. Think...
When you jump in the well: Jump off the ledge when the scrab is under, jump in well, run away from new scrab, pull lever to light torch, enter door while the two scrabs are fighting.
Pull lever.
I looked behind me.
Damn!
I was past the lever, and halfway to the scrab. There was no way that I could have reached back, it was too far, but maybe...
I shot some webbing at the lever, and stoped spining.
The web shot to the lever and stuck. The fact that I was still running pulled the lever, but made me fall over, too.
I heard a click of two stones hitting each other and then a dish above me was alight.
The trobble was that I didn't think I would fall over, and nothing would stop a scrab once a chalenge was accepted.
However, the scrab was still.
Nothing, exept maybe another scrab.
I scrambled to my feet, and looked at the absence of a certain wall that had blocked my path earlier. Instead, there was now an scrab there, angary at the fact that it's now enlarged territory was occupied by another scrab and a half scrab. No place is big enough to hold two dominant scrabs, nevermind...
Well two and a half, but that was irrelivent. Just round it up.
The scrab who had just apeared howled.
Oh, no. Don'thowldon'thowldon'thowl
The scrab I had faced earler howled.
I found that my "inner scrab" found no need to howl. Maybe because in these rare situations, only two at a time ever fight.
Whatever the reason, I creaped towards the door.
When I got there, I turned to see the two scrabs fight.
It was amszingly quick, but also amazingly furious. Every blow was a death blow blocked or dodged. I couldn't see it, but I found I could sort of... hear it. Like a sketchy picture in my ears, when I screached really high-pitched. I think it is a scrab trait, because the scrabs couldn't possibly see thoes strikes, they were too fast for the eyes, and scrab hearing is exelent.
Anyway, when the fight was over in a few seconds, the winner hardly had time to look at me before I was out of there, through the door.
There. It was shorter that this origonal chapter, but it should do.
