12. Belly of The Beast
Our combatants find themselves in a cave much like the scene from Empire Strikes Back. The sides of the cave cannot be seen from where they are but, if they were to move far enough they will encounter strange walls dripping with a thin layer of seems to be slime. There is a ship resting on its hardstand and the air is think with moisture. Breathing apparatus adorns both our duelists faces (if needed) and they face each other across a ten meter distance, with the ship off to their side. Each or our characters struggle with their footing, finding that the ground underneath seems to give a little with each step and a squelching sound accompanies each contact.
Having a bad feeling about this is natural and, as they look at each other in confusion, the ground tilts dramatically to the side, sending both staggering, perhaps falling, towards the ship. Vague shadows slip and flit here and there, always lost in the gloom, but tangible enough to give the impression that they are not tricks of the dim light from the ship.
They are, of course, in the belly of the Space Slug though they may or may not know it at this time. Any impact, be it a hard step or a weapon discharging, on the "floor" or "walls" will result in a massive rocking motion as the whole place tilts this way and that. Indigestion is never nice, not even for a gargantuan worm, so the earthquake-like occurrence will happen with more regularity and more force as the duel wears on...
