[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 4921770, member: 17691"] Surrounded by his fellow injured and suffering townsfolk, the rough collie finds that he has little appetite for the kindly proffered ham. Instead, he pads over to a bucket of water and begins to lap up its contents with a long tongue; if only to wash the foul taste of goblin out of his bloody mouth. Licking the dripping water from the end of his snout, Sandstone looks over at Ol' Walt's still form with mournful eyes and offers a soft canine whimper. The dog knew him as a quiet man who enjoyed spending hours whittling driftwood on his front stoop. He'd often throw a stick for Sandstone to fetch whenever the collie would happen to pass by. And now the man lay dead on the White Deer's taproom floor; all because the guard dog had failed to notice or stop the goblin interlopers as they stole into town during the holiday. With his head and tail hanging low, the tawny collie silently pads back out the door. There is little he can do to help ease the townfolk's suffering, but he can certainly act to prevent any further goblin raiding; and the first step is to secure the town's boundaries. He turns to offer those in the common room a single bark before heading out into the deepening twilight, back towards the open and undefended north gate.
