[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5550473, member: 11751"] Bannock, the immense stag weighs close to a ton and you huff and puff as you inch it away from the shore. The gaping wound in its flank weeps old lake water and a thick black ichor that you can only imagine are its liquefied internal organs. The smell is horrible and a rotting green tongue lolls out of its lifeless mouth as you stop dragging the corpse. You reckon the stag has been dead since it was pinned to the lake bed forty years ago. Tiljann grabs hold of Hrimr's arm and pulls him into the village.
