Shadowgate

You stare wide-eyed at the massive beast at the end of the chamber. Its mouth surges open and a volley of flame bursts from the gullet. As the flame races towards you along the walls you fumble through the skeleton.

You rattle the buckler from the bony grasp and heave it up in front of you. Molten fire lashes the brim as you desperately crouch down behind your steel fortress. Intense heat bombards your body, fringing your hair as you tuck your head between your legs. The shield smolders red, dripping iron along the edges.

The flames cease.
