“IT’S THE DEMON’S DOING,”
PALAT SNARLED.


“The demon knows we’re down here.”

In the next instant, a frightening figure surged from beneath the water. Formed of the rats’ bones, the
creature stood eight feet tall, built square and broad-chested as an ape. It stood on bowed legs that were
whitely visible through the murky water. Instead of two arms, the bone creature possessed four, all longer
than the legs. When it closed its hands, horns formed of ribs and rats’ teeth stuck out of the creature’s
fists, rendering them into morningstars for all intents and purposes. The horns looked sharp-edged,
constructed for slashing as well as stabbing. Small bones, some of them jagged pieces of bone, formed
the demon’s face the creature wore.

“That’s a bone golem,” Taramis said. “Your weapons won’t do it much harm.”

The bone golem’s mouth, created by splintered bones so tightly interwoven they gave the semblance of
mobility, grinned, then opened as the creature spoke in a harsh howl that sounded like a midnight wind
tearing through a graveyard. “Come to your deaths, fools.”
