[Eska looks puzzled as this good-natured wolf suddenly zips past them, hackles raised, but it doesn't take long for them to also lock eyes with the hulking beast lurking in the dark.]
Oh! Oh no, puppy, you don't have to - you should get behind me! I'm a trained monk! I can protect you!
[As they speak, they slide into a ready stance. The sword this place had supplied them is nowhere in sight - better left behind for someone who needed it - but the way they shift onto the balls of those wide, scaly feet and raise their open palms makes it clear that they're more than prepared to defend themself.
The grimling, seeing that the element of surprise is lost, bares its teeth at these two strange bits of prey. It doesn't much like the look of the radiance coming from that hound, but grimlings? Grimlings rarely hunt alone. The beast raises its maw, letting loose with an unearthly howl.
Echoing from deep within the dark labyrinth, more howls join in. Seems like it's invited its friends along for the fun.]
