Sylvain steps forward and swings his dagger in the Hound's eyeline hoping to distract it, and Thaddeus takes the opportunity as the irked hound snaps at the dagger to drive the silver longsword into its chest up to the hilt! Pulling free the blade with an effort foul blade blood covering its length Thaddeus can tell he has dealt the beast a mortal blow!
The hounds body trembles and hair thin cracks begin to appear all over its golden hide, but with one last hate filled howl it hurls itself at Thaddeus! Its maw closes around the tengu's head and crunches close, sending Thaddeus tumbling to the flooe unconscious and bleeding.
Sylvain and Borric see the thing smile - a truly odd expression upon its canine features - before it collapses from, its efforts. The golden hide shatters like so much glass and the darkness at its core dissolves into a writhing dark mass which slowly dwindles away to nothingness.

[sblock=What was the Golden Hound?]
For the curious the Golden hound was a Yeth Hound advanced by 2 hit dice. It had 44 hp and Thaddeus's last blow took it to 0hp - so its attack took it to -1.[/sblock]
