"You have much honor." With that it slowly slogged off down the passage they had just come from, and in the direction of the hillside exit.The party made their way to the bricked up corridor again.  They pushed in the unmortared bricks hoping to surprise the otyugh, but the creature had long since moved back down the corridor.  A quick volley of arrows ended the creature's life.   They climbed over the wall to enter the passage and noticed another bricked off passageway across from them and an open passage way to their left.  The floor here was cleaner and drier than before, although there was still a stream of waste flowing into the passage underneath the bricks.  A cursory look revealed the open passage to be a dead end and the other bricked off passage to have the same mortarless bricks on top, leading into a a passage similar to the one they had just left. Darian sliced open the otyugh looking for the bones of the children."Huh," he said, "There's no remains, check around everybody it may have already excreted them."The party searched the passage and though strangely they didn't find any bones they did find something odd. "Look here," said Calrom "A chain.  This thing was manacled here, it was a guard dog""So," said Alya look around at the empty floor and the waste stream "What was it guarding? And what happened to the children?"</blockquote>
