Frustrated Father
First Post
Comments welcome and appreciated!
-----------------------------------
The creature stood amongst a moldy and moss ridden pile of bones, human, animal and otherwise, the only thing they had in common were that they had been picked clean of any meat and the bones were cracked and broken for the sweet marrow inside.
Grossly fat the ghoul continued to rip pieces of flesh from a large bone, possibly a leg, as it gobbled and slurped grotesquely at the still blood warm meat. Casually it snapped a thigh bone in half, powerful muscles and strength hidden by folds of fat.
Looking around, the adventurers hiding amongst the trees and rocks finally spotted the remains of their scout who had disappeared earlier in the day, though the only identifiable part was his torn and blood soaked clothes and a part of his face that hadn't been obliterated as his head had been torn open to get to the soft brains inside. More than one of their group retched silently where they lay.
With anger and determination on their faces the signal was given to attack and with shouts of defiance and rage, the five men rushed from their hiding to lay this foul creature low ...
... some were still alive when the creature began its grisly feast, their screams echoing through the forest, accompanied by the ghastly chortle of this king amongst ghouls.
