Lewit ventures out back and, looking around, quickly discerns that the guards must have already visited and left, taking the body of the dead stableboy with them.

From inside the stable, Maelicent peers out between the cracks in the stable's wooden slats and notes that the coast is clear. The goblin spies no one outside, save for one of the giant-kin from the bar.
 

Maelicent wipes the demon-flesh scrapings off his dagger before replacing it into his boot. Gathering up his burden, the Gudwulf warrior pulls the rim of his horned helmet down to cast a protective shadow over his face as he peers around suspiciously from the stable doorway. Satisfied Mael steps back into the open air to greet the lone giant-kin. "Uh. Hey. So they ah... gone?"
 


Lewit shrugs slightly, "All clues point to yes, Goblin... We are going to go look for Racid and get some more information on it. There is a high chance that more of the spidery-folk will appear with that stick still around, so it might be best to stick together. You coming?"
 

Dter is still sitting in front of shining his shield, when lewit returns he is just about done and looks at it reclecting the sun on it to look for imperfections
 

The small warrior tilts his head slightly so the rim of his helmet hides his eyes for a moment as he considers the matter briefly. Looking back up at the giant-kin the goblin answers. "I'm tired o' waitin ta start tha adventure. Sure as blood I'll be goin. I'm the Gudwulf, but me name's Maelicent. Some people in the Cockatrice call me Malice though." And some other things; the goblin thinks to himself bitterly. "Can ye help me move tha kills inta the stables for safe keepin? I'll finish cleanin em later."
 

Voadam turns to the kobold "So to these bars then to start our investigations, and if that fails to turn up anything then off to the noble house. He could have gotten the wand anywhere, but it is not implausible that a hard on their luck banished noble would steal a valuable item from the brother who banished him."

"So this Bahamaut is a sky god then?"
 


"Gudwulf." The goblin holds up the two legs he'd already begun cleaning to show the giant-kin before heading for the kitchen door. "These here are light but real strong and they got a good flex to em too. They'll make great bow shafts. The hide o' the beasts is hard as iron but light like wood. I be bettin that ye'd be able to make good armor and shields out o' the stuff. Can probably trade em to bowers and smiths for a good bit."

With Lewit's help, Maelicent will try dragging the two wolf-spider carcasses in the taproom out through the kitchen and into the stable we're he'll cover them up with hay as best as possible.
