From The Chalice of Mystery

At the moment that the outer door closed, a secret door opened on the opposite wall. A shadowy creature entered the room and stood near the odd table. The beast appeared friendly, stood the height of an elf, and had the stature of a goblin. The furry little beast swayed rhythmically, pressed the ivory extensions with three of its four hands, and filled the room sounds- a repeating bass rhythm under a freely and elaborately syncopated melody.

Knuth said, “I think I feel bad!”

Ravenna added, “I… I have the blues!”

Rabe Thayers and Foutte started dancing.

“It’s a boogie man!” Roscoe shouted.

“Cover your ears!” Knarra added.

It was too late. The entire party danced. It was impossible to control their weapons or effectively conjure. They heard faint pounding from the hallway- their comrades tried to reopen the portal to the room.

Ravenna sang, “I’m going to dance all night. I’m going to dance all night.”

She shook her red hair wildly and twisted her backside in a rhythmic fashion.
