[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3782061, member: 11146"] With Gamad keeping watch and walking the length of the hall to check both the mushroom cavern and the hexagonal chamber while guarding against the approach of enemies, Brakkus, Chev, Voadam, and Maelicent set to the task of splitting open and searching the crocodile's expansive inner cavity and organ meat. The work is slow-going, bad-smelling, and arduous. Three hours after starting their task, the work is complete; the crocodile's carapace is an empty husk, the gullet, stomach, intestine, and rectum thoroughly dismantled, squeezed, and searched. Brakkus, in his search of the crocodile's esophagus and gullet, finds an oddity. From inside the crododile's throat, Brakkus extracts the right hand of a human. Largely undigested as the hand is, the ring finger still sports its prize. A wide gold band rests upon the ring finger. The gold is of good quality and the ring has an inscription written in block script that Brakkus recognizes as Latin. [sblock=Latin]"For sooth, food, nor drink, nor sleep shall you take and yet you shall know the wonders of the world."[/sblock] For his part, Chev works alongside Maelicent squeezing lengths of intestine of their contents. Aside from the expected bits of ground bone and now-disgorged flesh that smells rife of digestive juices, Chev holds up no small miracle. A brass tube meant, by the look of it, to hold scrolls or maps. The tube's outer brasswork seems to have saved it from the worst of the crocodile's digestive work. The thing is still sealed, even. Voadam, having drawn the end section of the beast, dissects the crocodile's posterior innards. Inside the rectum, along with a great deal of unsavory detritus, Voadam finds further evidence of the crocodile's last meal. Human teeth, by the look of them, of a male perhaps 40 or 50 years of age litter the crocodile's rectum. Along with the teeth, Voadam extracts a circular prism a full 6 inches in diameter. Shards of wood and bone that survived the worst of the ravages inflicted by the crocodile's digestive tract also ruminate in the beast's last length of lower bowel. Maelicent splits open the creature's stomach and finds a half-digested section of a torso, severely pitted limbs, a second relatively intact hand still attached to its heavily tattooed forearm, red cloth robes that are already nearly disintegrated, and a gold linked chain necklace.
