===Introduction===
"There!" Tessa cries.
You turn in time to see an arrow fly from her bow, in the direction of the nearby trees. Two dark canine forms dart out from the bushes -- one just in time to catch the point of her shaft in its eye. It flops to the ground and thrashes, as the other dashes towards the distant portal.
Another arrow flies after the demonic hound, but either by chance or instinct the creature swerves, and the missile embeds itself in red ground instead of infernal flesh.
The beast disappears behind the throbbing arcane energy framed by the black monoliths. A moment later the air is filled with ferocious howls.
More of the creatures pad out from both sides of the portal, their dark bodies threaded with rivulets of red and orange that glow like the hot metal upon a blacksmith's anvil. A larger hound stalks forth in the wake of this vanguard, looming over the others. The monstrosity is closer to a pony than a dog in stature, its hellish hide covered with jagged slabs of armored flesh.
The creature howls, and its pack charges -- savage eyes gleaming, saliva frothing from their vicious jaws.
===Conclusion===
You're about to call for your companions to move out when you notice Hugh crouching beside the huge hellhound's corpse, his back to you. Curious, you walk up behind him -- and see that he's stroking the dead beast's hide.
"Hellhounds..." says Brachus. "They curl up at your feet, and lick your hands as you feed them scraps of your enemies' flesh. It's easy to mistake them for faithful beasts. But their loyalty is that of a demon, not an animal. If the right moment comes, they'll betray you just like any other fiend."
He stands up, takes one final look at the dead hound, then turns and plods off to join the others.
