[sblock=ooc][MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION]: Sounds like a good plan, and like I said, Shale's been trying that for ages and I wouldn't want to deny him...
Currently waiting for you to decide if anyone is going to eat the brain (heh, heh - seriously, I have a cool Psionic-related effect in mind for that, I'd love to be able to use it...) and then which way you're going to go: ahead or back (which I might as well give away will both lead back into the maze at this point) or into the Umber Hulk tunnel (which will have a different set of skills - so no penalty for repeating - but might have more danger).

I'm supposed to be working right now... Instead posting from iPod. Anyway, Gil will toast whatever he eats in the fire like roasting a marshmellow.
Eat it? Is that possible? Gil sniffs at the meats. Yeah, I bet they charge by the fleck for this kind of delicacy! I'm going to try it!

Gil contemplates the brain.
[sblock=Nature]
I'll go ahead and roll for you to keep things moving: Nature (1d20+2=22) Critical success!
[/sblock]
He remembers reading about cannibalistic tribes who go mad after eating the brains of fallen enemies. And this creature was certainly mad, so if eating the brain spreads insanity then this brain could be extremely dangerous! Especially as Gil doesn't have any psychic powers to enhance that he knows of, so the risk has a smaller chance of reward.

Curious Gil can't resist... If it isn't going to kill outright, he is going to try it, especially if it is expensive or arcane in nature.
I could never afford to eat this back home... Gil says, carving a few slices from differing areas of the brain. Can I get a sitter? Just watch and make sure I don't swallow my tongue or anything if I start tripping. Anyone else want some? Known to make the Marquesan Typees lose their minds. Though, what some calling losing a mind, can often just be a life altering paradigm shift. smiling all the while, Gil uses the mage hand to slowly rotate the meat above the flames of the oil.
Gil pops a bite in his mouth, Hmm mm mm...

So does Gil. The brain is spongy and squishy, and feels like it's turning to mush as his teeth touch it. It has a rancid, oily taste.

Poison vs Fort (1d20+8=9)[/url
Critical miss.
Gil will be queasy for the next few hours. He grants Combat Advantage on the first round (only) of the next combat.

As soon as a piece of brain hits his stomache, it clenches and rumbles queasily. He tries to force down another piece and his throat closes up. Gil finds himself totally unable to swallow, and spits the rest of the brain out into the water. His stomache continues to rumble uneasily as he walks, and he finds himself occasionally hit by waves of nausea.
