I have played around in this room a bit, and until today have only gotten standard responses to my actions...
[Head of the Beast]
The cavern is immense, yet it seems almost dwarfed by the monstrous head of a beast rendered in a strange scaled substance that defies analysis. Emerging from the surrounding walls, its visage is contorted in an eternal grimace of fury and pain. Beneath it sits a large glaes anvil. A steady drip of bubbling black liquid leaks from the glittering eyes and snakes down the sides of the monstrosity's face, falling down upon the anvil's top where it pools just before hissing into a vapor of steam.
Obvious exits: northeast, southeast
!>praise head
The head is too far above you to attempt that.
But, today I was in there hacking up tsarks and fire mages and this flashed across the screen...
A globule of viscous black liquid slowly trickles down across the grotesque head's cheek, leaving a trail of smoke to mark its progress.
!>look head
The leviathan head towers above, dominating the chamber with its hideous snarl. Its dark eyes seem to flash with fury, as light flickers across their reflective surfaces. Tears of smoking black liquid create twin stains down the creases in its gaunt cheeks.
!>praise head
Above the glaes anvil, steam begins to seep out of the huge stone beast's eyes, coiling and twisting up in twin columns. The sound of hissing fills the chamber, soon augmented by a deep, bass thrum. The ground starts to shake, giving rise to clouds of dust, which mix with the steam and smoke to form a thick fog.
Through the haze, you see the colossal head begin to rise, its eyes glowing into ruby-tinted life. The thing is vastly more hideous with the vestiges of life than it was in its dormancy. Then, to your dismay, it seems to notice you, and the acid-slavering snout approaches, opening as it draws closer.
Suddenly, all motion stops! You see the head, frozen in the demeanor it had originally... as if it never moved at all. You almost have a chance to exhale in relief, when a tortured scream rends the caverns, leaving echoes careening around the stone walls like frenzied shades of undead.
The head is too far above you to attempt that.
!>chant
You begin a steady and decisive chant, as if rallying the troops.
I hung around and kiled a few more critters, but was unable to get the event to repeat. Anyone ever seen this one before?
