Elric the Thief crept guardedly down the ancient dungeon corridors.  His torch illuminated the utter darkness of the catacombs, producing strange shadows on the earthen walls.  His wanton search for glory and riches had taken an unwelcome turn, as he found himself separated from his adventuring party, lost in an endless maze of passages.  In his mind, he recalled the battle with the Owl Bear which had gone very badly.  When the creature turned on Elric, he tried to fight at first and then simply ran.  Losing the slow-footed beast in the tunnels had been fairly easy for the elusive footpad, but now he was alone, and unsure of his direction.  However, his purpose was sure, as his only torch was starting to flicker in the weary light.
