Suddenly Ryan was grabbed from behind by what felt like three sets of limbs and dragged out into the hallway. Unable to turn round, he looked at his reflection in an old mirror and gasped at the sight of his captor!
He was being held by a giant 8 foot misshapen figure, with four muscular arms and legs. All four arms were locked around Ryan, as were two legs.
As if that wasn't enough, another huge inhuman figure appeared in front of him. This one looked like a bulky 6-foot rat, and walked on its hind legs.
"I got intruder, Ratso!" said the 8-limbed figure.
"Excelent work, Octo!" replied the rat "He'll come in useful in one of Dr Spellstorm's projects!". He sniffed the air "There are four more 'volenteers' in the house too! Take him to Spelstrom while I round the others up!"
Ratso scampered off and Octo started dragging him down the stairs, holding him fast with a pair of arms and legs.
