[QUOTE="chutup, post: 5857582, member: 6690844"] [B]The Lair of the Grey Worm (46.06) [/B]Deep in the forests beyond the World's Edge, there lies a lake warmed from beneath. In a watery cave by the edge of this lake, hung around with vines, one may find the lair of a terrible monster known as the grey worm. Though not as large as its purple cousin, it is known for its rapacious greed and animal cunning. It sometimes enters the lake, where it will ambush the su-giraffes who drink there. One such beast, swallowed whole, will satiate the grey worm for two weeks. There is a special warrant for the capture - not the killing - of the grey worm, issued by one Divinio Ambersmyth of the Shuttered City. Divinio is a would-be boss in the Wedding Band (30.15), and a rival of the ruthless Bogarus Bolger. Divinio does not have much money or reputation, but he does have one thing: a live specimen of the burning eagle, a monster that is related to the firebirds but is much more vicious. A legend, popularized by the exiled poet Trimueil, claims that the burning eagle and the grey worm represent the opposing elements of fire and water, and that the two creatures have been mortal enemies since the dawn times. A battle in the Wedding Band between the burning eagle and the grey worm would draw unprecedented crowds. Divinio is under pressure to display his eagle in combat, but he insists on waiting until he has the grey worm as well. However, to capture the worm and carry it all the way back to the Shuttered City would be a difficult task indeed. Hooks: - Why is the lake heated from below? - Su-giraffes? What the hell are those? - Who is the poet Trimueil, and where was he exiled from? What other poems has he written? - Are the burning eagle and the grey worm really ancestral enemies? [/QUOTE]
