The door seals itself behind you. There is a shape looming up in front of you; but you presume that it is an item of furniture. But as some moonlight dawns some light on the room, you realize that you've made a big mistake. The object is actually a 6ft beast, half camel; half sabre-toothed tiger. In your fear you almost miss seeing the door to your left.
Do you try to strangle the beast with your bare hands or leg it to the next room?
