shivverTonight was D&D night. Our party of six player characters has a seventh character, an NPC (non-player character) named Isaac that we picked up a while back. Isaac is basically useless. Our party cleric is trying to train him to be useful, but for the most part, we forget he's even there. We were exploring a cave system and got attacked by some giant bugs, and Isaac ran off to huddle against the wall in fear. Our poor dungeon master has to keep saying things like this to remind us that yes, we have this guy traveling with us.
Write a couple of paragraphs about a character being very afraid. The thing is, like Isaac, this character is a minor character and is certainly not the point-of-view character in your scene, so you can't say what he's directly thinking. Convey what he's feeling in some other way: describe his actions, have him say things (though they'll probably be limited to things like "AHHHH!!"), or whatever else you can think of other than describing what he's thinking.
