Uh Mania….”  Begins Cosa.He scratches at a thorn on his neck.  His scratching is sloppy, as the venom is potent and already acting.Cosa begins to shift to better caste a spell when she feels a sting in her neck also.  The world goes fuzzy on her before she says anything.“I’ll tear you apart!” snarls the Mul.  He pulls two darts from his neck and another from his chest.  Though suddenly tired, he thrashes further …into darkness.The halflings then look nervously t their catch of the day.  Some pucker their lips, others rub their chin and one even rubs his thinned stomach.  These hunters are hungry and have caught something worthy of a feast.“Tok Tok Tunnok  Ock Ock” calls out the apparent leader.  The three sleeping adventurers are lowered then the halflings are in debate.  The Mul is just too big for them to move.  Knives and cutting blades are pulled out.    It doesn’t look good for the mul gladiator.“Ton Ton Anok!  Tsk Tsk Tsk!”  The three halflings closest to the ½ dwarf stop and frown.  Snack time sounded good.   The other two will suffice.They lash together Mania’s wrists and ankles.  Cosa’s are also tied.  A stretcher is quickly brought to drag them away.  After twenty minutes have passed away the two begin to awake.  They are extremely disoriented as they find themselves bouncing along on the stretcher.  Six of the height-challenged savages man the stretcher and drag them along.Before either can awaken and get a sense of where they are the group stop.  “Shhhhhhhh Tonka tok.  Tonka Tok.”  It is very quiet and still.  Mania closes his eyes and concentrates on the sounds around him.  He tries to visualize the surroundings as Dutch had attempted to teach him.Suddenly a loud roar can be heard and the ground shakes slightly.  Something is here.  Something big.  Panicked halflings call out and run.  They abandon the two.  Mania looks up and sees a dark blur looking at him.  Something with four arms and extremely bad body odor stands over him.  The creature reaches down and picks up the still unconscience Cosa and snorts before leaving.  Minutes go by before Mania becomes aware of the halflings return.  Quietly they pick up the poles of the stretcher and begin again, only one humanoid to eat this time.   Still a good days catch.====================================================================112 rolls over.  His impressive constitution fights the poisons within his body.  He was bred to be strong and a hard worker.  Resistance to certain poisons is a side effect of this.  He sits up slowly and looks around.   Both Mania and Cosa are gone.  However, an easy trail has been left behind.   A very easy trail.</blockquote>
