The Trials of Sampsonite!

You use all of your strength and fighting experience to punch and kick at the writhing hands. A few of the hands snap off and return to the safety of wherever they come from! You smile thinking that it was not as hard as you had at first expected. Unfortnately, as you prie the last few hands off of the man's waist, an especially large pink fist grabs your neck, drags you under and feeds you to its owner.
Well, at least your team managed to save the man who you gave your life for!
