"OI!  YOU LOT!  DOWN, EVERYBODY DOWN!"

The shouted command comes from the other end of the room. Hound turns to see a huge, looming shape in the door opposite of the chamber, the one that Bale and his men disappeared into. It's huge and bronze and its open end is shaped like the open mouth of a roaring beast. Praetor looks up, and his skin gets goosebumps as he recognizes what it is...

It's the biggest cannon he's ever seen.

Bale squats down beside it, a dot of a Dwarf beside it as he squats down with his hands over his ears.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

Everyone has just enough time to duck...

There is a gout of fire and the chamber resounds with a concussion that knocks the air from everyone's lungs.

The worm's head explodes in a shower of pink flesh, and the room fills with smoke and the smell of spent gunpowder.

Everyone begins groaning, turning over and checking themselves for injuries.

Melandil stands up. You could have warned us, Bale!"

Bale squints up. "WHAT?"
