    :Those keen eyes spot the creature and look to it curiously.: "Hello to you as well my small friend tell me what is it you are doing ?" :Crugretor watched for a few moments his spear having been used as a walking stick and the soles of his boots well worn.: "And can you use a hand ?" :He shifted closer but made no threatening movements wanting to get a good look at just what this unusual creature was.:

    DIE FOUL SPAWN! Just...just die already!

    Shouts Randolf in frustration.

    Now fully standing, he whips another of his sharp daggers from his bandoleer and hurtles it at the Boris on the roof.

    With yet another dagger in it's side, Boris cannot help but violently cough up some of the black fluid that runs through it's veins. It stumbles, and with a thud lands on the ground, it's leg and two of the spines on it's back snapped in the process. It is still alive, but barely. Up close you can see that it's neck and upper back are covered in gill-like slits, that perpetually undulated in and out, each time with a heavy wheeze.

    ---

    The small creature takes another one of the rocks, and firmly puts it in place with the others.

    "There! Finished!" it says, with a look of accomplishment.

    It grins a wide grin at Crugretor, revealing large orange teeth.

    "You see, man-folk, this place veeeeeery dangerous right now. So Grig is responsible, and puts up wall. Now nothing bad get in." He raps his knuckles on the nearby rock, clearly very proud of himself.

    With a light buzzing, his wings become active and he flies up to Crugretor's eye level.

    "Tell me. Why man-folk out in dangerous forest?"

    Randolf

    "Serves you right you foul evil beast attacking a poor defenseless child!"

    With that he walks closer to the body and retrieves the three daggers stuck in its body and spits on it vehemently.

    Turning to his fellow comrades - he says,

    "We should get out of here before the fog cloud and glue affects clear. Perhaps we should also drag this one back to the Professor - may haps he can discover something from it?"

    Boris gurgles unpleasantly as Randolf retrieves his daggers.

    "That sounds like a good idea."

    Grig stares at Crugretor gravely. "Strange things come. Grig not sure what they are. But Domovoi sees them. Domovoi says they not fae and look like man-folk. But not man-folk either. Domovoi says they hurt other domovoi, and hurt other man folk. So Grig build wall. Keep strange things away."

    "Now, which direction you go, man-folk? Grig recommend stay away from strange things. They hurt you too, maybe."

    Randolf nodding at Meeka's gesture, takes the rope and begins tying up the Boris. Well it appears that is what he is doing. He ties the creatures ankles together, wrapping the rope around its lower and upper legs - verily cocooning the monster in rope. Next he repeats the exercise with the creatures arm and upper torso. When completed he looks up at the others with a big grin.

    Hopefully that'll hold the creature for now, but we should be quick about it. I don't want to remain out in the open any longer than necessary. Lets make our way back to the Professor.

    Boris is surprisingly heavy. Far more heavy than something his size should be. But the four of you plus the human Boris are enough to lift it. Carrying the drooling mess, you steadily make your way back. Soon you are close enough to see the familiar odd dome shaped building.

    Grig waves as Crugretor ventures off. He does not walk long, before discovering a campground of some kind. It consists of a large tent, and numerous smaller tents surrounding a smoldering campfire. There is a faint sound of speech coming from the larger tent, indicating that it is occupied.

    You arrive at the Professor's house. As you step onto his front lawn, you hear a snarling sound from behind you...

    ---

    A head pops out of the largest tent and faces Crugretor.

    "Oh!" he says.

    As he steps out of the tent, you can see that he is a tall elf, with pale green skin and dark brown hair. He is wearing a simple tunic and kilt constructed from what seems to be leather and tree bark, and has what appears to be a dear's antler attached to his right shoulderpad.

    "I'm sorry," says the elf. "You just startled me, is all. I was not expecting visitors this late at night. But please, please come in."

    Upon closer viewing, you can see that the elf has dark circles under his eyes, as though he is nervous or has not been trancing properly.
    He chuckles slightly at Crugretor's comment. "Well, we don't expect to be here long. We druids are nomadic folk. We travel wherever it is convenient."

    He pauses and gives a downtrodden look.

    "Unfortunately, we have had to camp here longer than expected, due to some...unfortunate circumstances. Our tribe's elder...my father, has taken ill, and I fear he is on his last breaths."

    He tries his best to lighten up.

    "But you are our guest! You do not deserve to have to listen to such depressing talk. Come. I assume you would like a place to stay the night? We have a fire and warm blankets. I assure you it is more comfortable than camping alone."

    "You may call me Glenn, by the way."

    From atop a nearby roof, you can see the four Boris's, now escaped from the webbing. They stair down at you, illuminated by the glow from their eye tentacles.

    ---

    Glenn gives a sad smile, and gestures for Crugretor to follow him into the tent. He leads you into an area sectioned off by curtains. The room smells heavily of incense, and there is a warm glow from a set of gently burning tallow candles. Lying on the floor under a set of warm quilt's is Glenn's father. The tribe's elder is thin and wispy, the green skin of his cheeks drawn against his lips. You can see that this is clearly an ancient creature. He has lived to see empires rise and then fall and die. The venerable elf slowly turns his head towards Glenn and draws his lips into a smile. In a voice so faint that you can barely hear it, he speaks.

    "Hello son. Who is your friend?"

    The lead Boris leaps down from the roof, striding towards the travelers. With a growl, it steps on the long messy grass of the Professor's property...




    With a blur, the Boris is suddenly slammed to the side. You cannot see the cause of it, but the Boris has now been decapitated.

    The remaining Boris's look at each other in confusion. A second one comes down, gingerly onto the grass. Almost immediately, the talon is severed. With the limb missing, the monster falls upon the grass. For a second, you can see a blue-brown blur, and the second Boris is cleanly dissected--lengthwise.

    One of the remaining Boris's flees. The other continues to stare down at you from the rooftop, not budging.

    ---

    At the touch of Crugretor's magic, the elder's breathing becomes a little less forced, but there is no other visible change. The elder cannot help but chuckle slightly at this.

    "Sonny, I've seen a lot of things in my life. I've wrestled with Gilgamesh. I've aided in the construction of the Great Tower. I've witnessed firsthand the meteor fall upon the Burning Lands. Let's face it: I'm old. I don't think a little magic is going to fix that. You seem like a good kid though. Here, why don't you have this."

    Seemingly amused, the old elf pulls an object out of his pocket and hands it to Crugretor. It is a small pebble, as smooth as polished glass, with a doughnut-like hole in the center.

    Glenn expresses surprise, "Father, when did you get one of..."

    The elder once again chuckles. "I've been in bed all day, I need something to do with my hands don't I?"

    The elder puts on a more serious face.

    "I don't have much longer now. You will have to find a way to lead the tribe in my absence."

    "B..but father! You know I do not have the gift to such a degree as you and the other tribesmen! I don't know if I am cut out for..."


    The elder places his hand over Glenn's and smiles. "Son, I am certain you will make the right choice. Now, why don't you let me rest. I am old, and quite tired."

    The elder turns onto his side and begins snoring loudly. With his face down-turned, Glenn gestures for Crugretor to follow him out of the tent.

    "Come," he says, "Let's find a place for you to camp for the night."

    He looked to the stone and arched a curious brow taking the gift he frowned hearing the old man. "Rest well friend." He then left with Glenn knowing what was most likely going to happen through the night. "Your father seems like a good man... I am sure you will make him proud...just what is this though?" He looked to Glenn asking curiously not knowing what it could possiblly be and just why the man gave it to him nothing more than a stranger.

    For a moment, Irethírra can see a small blue-ish shape near the dismembered corpse of one of the Boris's, but it quickly vanishes.

    As you are trying to make sense of the situation Professor Eisenhardt bursts out of the house, a pair of magnifying goggles on his forehead and waving a scalpel around madly. 01-X follows in tow, trying to prevent the professor from injuring himself.

    "What's all zis commotion about?!" he shouts, "I'm trying to get some work done, and you're all making such a racket..."

    Seeing the bloody seen, he stops himself, his eyes glowing large. However, his shock is quickly replaced by a mad glee.

    "Oh goodness! When I asked you to bring me a sample, I certainly did not expect you to bring me a specimen! This will do most well, most well indeed! Quickly now, help me bring them inside for study!"

    He prods 01-X, who picks up the still-living Boris that you had captured. Eventually you manage to get to get them all inside the house. The ropes are removed from the surviving specimen, and it is bound to a table with leather straps.

    Glenn examines the odd stone that his father has given you.

    "Hmm. My father is always making little magical artifacts. He says it amuses him." Looking more closely, he adds, "This one, I believe, is called an Adder Stone. It can ward off certain diseases, and help purge poisons from the body. I think that's what it does, in any case. Father always did have more a knack for magic than I ever did."
