[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 1383610, member: 11574"] Tharhack searches the bodies of the dead goblins, taking whatever coins and gemstones they carried. He then builds a small campsite and begins to fillet the worg. The smell of fresh blood seems to stir Gothmog's subconscious as he moans and turns on his sled, the first movement either Gothmog or Charekyal have shown since Tharhack took them from the canyon. Tharhack cuts small strips of meat off to feed Gothmog, taking care not to make them too big and choke Gothmog. To Tharhack's surprise Gothmog opens his mouth and chews o the food, although his eyes remain closed and he is unresponsive to any other stimuli. Charekyal however remains catatonic, even when food is placed in her mouth. Tharhack grows concerned that she won't last much longer on just water, which Tharhack isn't even sure she should be drinking seeing as how Charekyal if from the elemental plane of fire. Staring at the fire Tharhack gets an idea, and places Charekyal's hands into the flame. This creates a response, and Charekyal inches more of her body into the fire, soon her entire body lies within the flames. The combined heat from Charekyal and the fire causes the meat itself to burst into flames, the wooden spit shatters and drops the rest of the worg onto the flame. The worg remains are incinerated instantly, Tharhack watches as the blue part of the flame begins to extend higher off of Charekyal's body and below it, a white color flickers.
