Inside, under a cobwebbed chandelier, was a room illuminated by greenish light and filled with wart covered goblins who were standing next to a fire, snickering. Then I saw that the main doorway was guarded on the inside by two fifteen-foot cyclops wearing short, leopard-spotted sarongs. I crept back over to where the…
