Great Arianthus' Ghost!! I need to get out of here!!!

As I look around, I can see a stalagmite near the back of the cave that looks about my size and then it hits me...

I quickly take my capes off and tie them to it. Using the bucket of oil, I pour a trail to the base only using about half. I dump the remainder over the top and leave the bucket resting on top. "Not a bad likeness" I think to myself.

I grab a torch from the wall and rest it near the pile of rags and blankets as I conceal myself underneath. The beast is getting closer..closer.

As it enters the cave it sees my "form" and charges toward the oil soaked stalagmite. As soon as the monster passes, I grab the torch and ignite the trail of oil. Time is of the essence and I can't wait around to see what happens.

I make a break for it and sprint down the tunnel toward the daylight. Just as I make it outside a horrendous shriek emanates from deep in the cave and the sound of a thousand banshees flood from the cave to the valley outside.

I have no idea if my captor is killed or maimed or just slightly agitated but I need to find refuge and maybe some clothes so...off I run, naked as an Imp.
