    You whip the fist-sized rock at your role-playing friend's head.
    All of a sudden, the air surrounding him shimmers, and a blinding
    white light shines until you can't bear to look at it any longer. When
    you slowly reopen your half-blinded eyes you see not your friend, but a
    many-eyed BEHOLDER!

    * If you withdraw your trusty Vorpal BoyScout Pocketknife and attempt
    to vanquish the beholder, go to [16].
    * If you take out a small black palmable device from your pocket with
    the words "DON'T PANIC" written on the cover, go to [17].
