Combat Encounters

	Opponent	Encounter Text	Notes
	WRITHING MASS	As you make your way across the second floor, a strange spot on the wall catches your eye. You stand… absorbed… watching it move and change… Until you realize it's a mass of tentacles attempting to drag you into its toothy mouth.
	MIDGARD SCIENTIST	"Eyes! Eyes everywhere!" the voice yelling snaps you out of your reverie. You turn to see a man in a lab coat charging you.
	DRONE HOUND	As you're making the way across the ruined floor, you find a hound-shaped drone. As you back away to consider the best course of action its head snaps to face you.
	TWISTED HOUND	You hear a faint clicking from the floor beneath you. As you glance down, the floor cracks. You have just enough time to move to a more defensible position as a hound rips through the floor, snarling at you.
