Gorgadrith - The Purple Worm

“You don’t see Gorgadrith’s lair. You see the part of the world she hasn’t eaten yet.”

“The paladin raised his gleaming sword… and the bug looked at it the way a starving man looks at soup.”

“You may pass, soft-walkers… once the stones in your pockets have sung for me.”

“You hear the stone screaming before you see the eyes… and by then, it’s already too late to think straight.”

“The ground shivers first. If you wait to see the fin, you waited too long.”

“First the rope goes tight. Then the screaming starts.”

“You only hear him once—the half-second between drip… and drop.”

“The stones look the same… until one of them wraps around your legs.”

“When the torch goes out and the last drip stops… that’s when it lets go.”

“You don’t see the monster. You see your friend’s cloak… until it laughs.”

“By the time you count the arms, they’re already around your throat.”

“First come the giggles in the dark. Then come the things that think the giggles are theirs.”
