[QUOTE="Samuel Leming, post: 1991183, member: 16462"] During the Archdeacon's explainations, Maldordo sits casually, but listens intently. After hearing all the Archdeacon has to say, Maldordo asks, "Does anyone have any insight as to why this manticore is here? These monsters have a reputation for both cunning and malice. It has chosen to hunt and even lair close to a town large enough to have the resources to deal with it. Is it possible this manticore wouldn't know this? Is there any way that this creature could not know it's behavior would draw retribution and keep drawing retribution until its death? Maybe this manticore is here for some purpose more than inflicting anguish. Could it have been driven from the Gray Hills by an even more dangerous menace? Or it could meerly be an outcast. Maybe it was summoned here by a foe currently unknown and forced upon it's current suicidal path. Could it be searching for something or someone? Maybe it's not a manticore at all, but some other creature posing as one to provoke a desired response. In short, I'm curious. I don't know if this manticore speaks the languages or men or cats, but I'd like a chance to speak with it. I realize doing so may be a foolish risk, but there isn't going to be a chance to talk to this monster after we've destroyed it. Speaking to this creature may be our only chance to learn if there's some threat behind this manticore." [/QUOTE]
