[QUOTE="JustinCase, post: 7482029, member: 6776182"] As the heroes, carrying the tiefling noble's body and keeping the captured goblin close, arrive at the muckdweller encampment, they find it to be a ramshackle compound of three lean-to huts on the riverbank, half a mile from the depot. You recognize the small reptilians you've encountered before - Chatty, Biter, Runner, Spitter, Big-Eyes - and a few others, sitting lazily in a circle around a pile of rubble. One of the creatures is startled by your arrival, but before it can rally the whole camp, the one you recognize as Chatty has calmed them all down. Waddling up to you, he starts talking to you in their curious way, inviting you to join them, while two others take sharpened sticks and start prodding the tied goblin. As you move closer to the circle, it becomes obvious that the pile of rubble is, in fact, the remaining bones of the muckdweller that Traubon had killed. [b]"Cold lizard home,"[/b] Chatty explains proudly. [b]"Back to family. Strength inside."[/b] Rubbing his belly, he seems to have no idea that the ceremony to 'say goodbye to the dead', which turns out to involve cannibalism, is at all strange to the heroes. Then, with an eye towards fallen Thadius, he inquires, [b]"Cold horned one ceremony also?"[/b] Quickly you convince them that any ceremonies will take place elsewhere, before changing the subject to the liberation of their former home. Outcries of joy erupt around the encampment as the reptiles realize they can go back to their home! The peculiar creatures start moving up to you, thanking you, words flowing from their mouths too fast and without familiar structure to understand it all. In their enthusiasm, they start presenting you with gifts - useless wooden sticks, handfulls of river mud, and even the bones of the recently dead muckdweller. After politely declining their presents, the one you called Biter comes with several fishes, freshly caught, and you accept them graciously, storing the food in your bags. Saying your goodbyes to the muckdwellers, urging them to ask the villagers for aid in case the goblins ever return, you eventually leave them behind and move back to the town of Thistle. [/QUOTE]
