"Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to
this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has
fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its
lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength,
come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy
teeth."
