To the Mine!

Aric is adept at controlling what goes through his head, and horrible images of slaughtered deer are not high on the priority list. Instead, he focuses on the path, and the beauty around him. His current thinking on the Grundlebeast is that it must be trollish, based off the state of the deer and the strength needed to tear it in half.
Kale continues that train of thought right up until they arrive at the mine and he sees the obliterated workers. Acid and claws? Probably not your run of the mill troll.
My friends, I'm at a loss. I have no idea what we're dealing with...
We must carry on if we are to find answers.
