} **  Just as you enter the area Worf fires his   ** 
} **  Staff of Zot.  The light itself instantly   ** 
} **  melts the hair on the top of your head.     ** 
} **  The Grue that Worf was attacking suddenly   ** 
} **  turns to you.  Before you can draw your     ** 
} **  phaser, the Grue bites off your arm.        ** 
} **  Stunned from the shock, you fall down       ** 
} **  helpless.  The Grue then turns to Worf and  ** 
} **  decapitates him with a single chomp!  The   ** 
} **  Grue then slowly moves towards you, just as ** 
} **  you pass out.                               **
