'The kobolds are peering into the darkness, concentrating on
$something farther down the corridor.  Because their attention is
$focused elsewhere, you are able to sneak up behind them, unheard and
$unseen.

'Before the vicious creatures are aware of you, you strike one with
$your sword and Laurus hits the other with a large rock.

'As the kobolds fall, they drop their torch and it goes out. 
$Darkness surrounds you.

'"Listen," cries Laurus, clasping your arm.  You hear the noise the
$kobolds were listening to.  A faint clacking noise seems to be moving
$toward you.

'"Here!" says Laurus.  "I feel another opening to our left.  Maybe we
$should run for it!"

'"No, let's find out what's coming."

'You lean forward in an attempt to figure out what the noise could
$be, but the mysterious noise has faded away.

'"Listen!  It's stopped!  Maybe it took another path," you say.

'Suddenly, a great pain shoots through you leg.  Something has bitten
$you on the ankle!

'You reach down and touch an antenna and a pair of pincers.  OWW!!
$Something has bitten you savagely on the hand!

'"Laurus!" you scram.  "It's a giant ant!"

'"Oohh! Ow! Ow! Ants! Ants! They're all around us!" shouts Laurus.
$"Help! They're biting me.  OH! I'm being eaten up! Help!  Ow!  Get away
$from me!  Caric, help! I don't want to be eaten by a bug!  I'm hitting
$them, but it doesn't do any good.  Help me!"

'Angry clicking sounds come from all sides now
