Gruff

You were distracted by the hawk in the sky, and you didn't notice that a mound of earth was growing underneath the bloody garments that had once clothed the ranger. Suddenly, the ground heaved the garments aside, scattering armor, jewelry, and weapons. The mound rose onto its hindfeet, seven feet tall, stretching its huge paws into the sky in worship of the moon.

It turns to you, grinning, showing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and says, gruffly, "This was the best you could do after I saved your scrawny lives from that damn fire-breathing orc?"

"Where the hell are we at? Where's Kaemris?"
 



"Van Dyksun? What ARE you, man?

"Quickly, let me polymorph you into something that wears undergarments...

"Kaemris should be here in about ... oh, 5 minutes or so.

"Remind me not to die around you, Artemus...
 

The children scream in terror.

Then they realize it's Van Dyksun.

"Cooooool," says Herjolf Rolf. "He's a BEAR! An angry bear!"

Slow down

Sticks a paw out towards Lucuis, and that's when you notice the very sharp claws.

"I am NOT Van Dyksun. Well, I mean, I am. BUT I'M NOT, too, and don't you be trying to do anything to me until I can figure what I AM."

I sniff the air.

"Funny, something around here smells like chicken."
 

"Nice, Van Bearsun! Bear Dyksun? Van Dykbear?"

Is he black or brown looking?

"Hey, you owe me a gold piece, Artemus! I told you he wasn't coming back as a green slime!"
 

I hope I'M not what you're smelling...

says a voice from the earth beneath the Kaemris' bloodied and empty garments. Two hands reach up from the earth, and a man emerges...he is bald, pale and thin, with golden eyes.

He looks at all of you strangely.

I...remember you. All of you.
