A pale body uncoils from the drain. You can see the stolen lanterns through its skin: little rooms of yellow light, each with a drowned face looking out.
It drags a ring of teeth over the stone. Two flames wait inside it, if you can keep your own blood inside you.
Lamp-eater / 6 blood remaining
INTENT: FALSE LUNGE
Its lamp-lit tail twitches. The teeth come from the other side: Ward will cost 2 blood.
Burn interrupts the enemy. Mend spends your turn: the enemy still attacks. Damage and costs are shown on each choice.
