A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [03]

The dust digger proves to be quite a large creature, with a central body well equipped for tunneling through the earth - loose sand at least - and five tentacles radiating outward. It has a large, toothy mouth at the juncture of the arms that appears capable of swallowing a human size object whole.

Houwlou finds no piles of treasure underneath the thing, and no sign of Harnrey's earth elemental .

"Maybe we need to look inside." Harnrey then takes his ax and starts to split it open.

Houwlou feels pretty amazing with the help of Harnrey's spell, "Wow, I could get used to this! Thanks! Grrr! But, goodness, Harnrey, what an amazing smell you've discovered! And I thought it smelled bad ... on the outside!"

[OOC: this is my homage to Harrison Ford as Han Solo, combining lines of his from both "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back"]

The smell as you cut the thing open is more dry and dusty than rotting meat. It's not pleasant, but nor is it anything that would make our resident dog . . . er, wolf . . . kin want to get down and roll around in it .

Sadly, there is nothing of use to you inside. A few bits of what looks to have been leather & chain armor of some sort and a very acid eroded small blade. It's been awhile since this things had a decent meal.

"Iwonder what happened to the Elemental?"

"These Gnolls seem very fond of taking foul smelling creatures as pets." Keeland keeps his sensitive elven nose well clear of the dead thing. He goes toward Tsadok. "Is that fellow you rescued in any condition to talk?"

Tsadok

"I'm not sure but since it seems the immediate danger is gone. We should go see." Tsadok will turn and head back with Keeland to where he laid the beaten man

Leif - Uh , yea, that's not gonna happen Mr Bitch!

"I caution all of you that it is unwise to remain for longer than absolutely necessary on this exposed plain. We should withdraw to more sheltered environs at once before we pose our questions to the man."

"And he could be a plant to see who the aggressors are so the gnolls can strike a counter offensive."
