Realizing that Brisby is in great peril and may be devoured by the Grootslang at any moment, you grab onto the nearest half of the shattered rowboat and push yourself into the swift current at the edge of the river. You find yourself hurtling downstream at a dizzying pace. Your ears, eyes, and mouth are constantly filled with water though you can still hear Brisby's panicked cries for help over the rushing rapids. Thankfully you still have your torch though you realize that you do not have any real weapon. . . you wonder what your chances are against the Grootslang in hand to hand combat.
The Grootslang doesn't seem to notice the pursuit and when the tunnel widens and the river broadens and slows it undulates its snake-like body to shore and down a smaller, drier tunnel. Bones litter the entrance to this side passage and the Grootslang quickly disappears into the darkness before you. You stick the magical torch under your cloak so that the monster does not detect the light and paddle your way over to the shore line. Brisby is no longer crying out and you fear the worst.
Do you charge in and hope to catch the creature by surprise?
or
Do you create a ruse to draw the creature out of its cave so you can go in and fetch Brisby?
