The Citadel of Chaos

p257

You look round the room.
It is lit only by your torch.
Although a fairly large room, it has little furniture in it,
although a large boulder, sliced flat, resembles a table
and a smaller rock forms a sort of stool behind it.
In one corner, a pile of rocks are held together with mud.
You cannot imagine their purpose, although they support three wooden chests.
Then you jump with fright as your torch lights up a large creature,
seemingly made of rock itself, standing by a door.
It is roughly human-shaped, although somewhat larger.
Its eyes are staring straight at you,
but you cannot be sure it is actually seeing you!

Will you:

Run for the other door ?

Attempt to speak with the creature ?

Move slowly towards the boxes in the corner ?
