We had been disarmed and were now under the watchful eye of a Thrashk guard. Gyger's transformation and the portal had understandably unnerved the half orcs, and we were detained while they tried to straighten things out."A shoggoth" Anvil replied.By the gate a knot of Tharashkers were speaking to two of the Zil constabulary, who no doubt were attracted by the appearance of a green portal in the sky. Though I couldn't hear the conversation, I knew they were no doubt being politely rebuked off of sovereign House territory."And what is a shoggoth?" I answered turning my gaze to Gyger's charred  and still smoldering carcass. A few men stood by the remains, trying to figure out the best way to remove this macabre decoration from their compound."A shoggoth is a lesser servitor of the lords of Madness. It was created by the daelkyr and perhaps other unknown creatures from the Plane of Madness." Anvil replied placidly. "A creature of protoplasmic bubbles, without shape able to take many bizarre forms."Anvil was positively chatty."Gyger was a shoggoth? Or did he turn into one?" I asked.Anvil stared at the corpse. "Evidence is too sparse to formulate an answer. But my past studies do support my observation."I turned to Dorbo for his input. The gnome was pacing back and forth, eyeing Bynara who was reclining on the ground wearing a smirk on her face."I ain't gonna thank her." Dorbo grumbled." She didn't nae save me, and Not gonna let ya lord it over me."I rolled my eyes. Things never change. I was going to get Dorbo's attention when an entourage ofsix half orcs approached.They were led by a tall hulking half orc who favored the orc side of his heritage. He wore the largest sword I've ever seen on his back. His face also wore a very unhappy look."I am Krusk." he said in a deep voice, stopping in front of us. "I am acting chief of this station. I have lost two fine Dragonmarked House members this day. Know that my patience is thin."Krusk took a step forward, he face darkening. "You will tell me who you are and why you are here-and quickly- or I will have you drowned in the nearest canal."</blockquote>
