    Mysterious Crater

    "How should I know? You were the one that appeared with it, you buffoon. I had hoped you could at least have provided some insight to how it could be defeated when you woke up, but it would seem you lack even that." She lets out another sight. "Light grant me strength."

    Her eyes then shot back at him. "But, if you want to redeem yourself, killing that thing would be a good start. This place is supposed to grant back life, not... whatever that is. So tell me what you can do, that sword of yours is still in the crater." She gestures down there.

    Kurrack ponders, then says: What I can do... I can eat, sleep, drink, ponder, elaborate, tell stories, and kill many things. Give me two minutes at maximum, and that undead tentacle pig will be in the ground, permanently.

    "And you'll do this, completely unarmed?"
    She sounds skeptical to say at least. "I don't even know who you are, or what race you're supposed to belong to."

So she approaches it at a trot, trying to move quickly but not wanting to recklessly approach it.
    As Willa approaches, the gremlin's mouth opens wide... in fact, it seems it's mostly mouth at the moment, with a gaping black abyss behind those teeth. It seems to be waiting for her to strike.

    Kurrack scowls, and says: I am the Dread druid of the Tau! I've killed Tyrinids unarmed bigger than that boar! I've stood in the fighting pits of the Dark Eldar! I've had so many victories against the enemy that when I think of feasting upon their corpses, my stomachs growl with fullness as no other Kroot's has ever done! While you were washing your hair in a waterfall, I was bringing death across the expanse, so do not question me!

    Kurrack then blinks, and sits back down, his anger subsided.

    I'm... I never should have spoken that way. I'm a guest here, and I should have not offended you.

    Kurrack's little speech doesn't seem to make the woman more amendable, even after he apologizes. "Why don't you put your words where your mouth is and prove your claims? I can even more sure you don't die right away." She was pretty sure it wouldn't have been such a great loss though. But perhaps there was some truth to this creatures words, as drunk as he was.

    "Not yet, I'm trying to hurry, but these things take time." Astrana replies. She hadn't expect it to get out of the trap this quickly!

    Kurrack sighs, and says: Nothing like hate filled adrenaline to get you out of hangover-mode.

    Kurrack then looks down to where the boar is, does some math on his fingers, and then does a forward leap with his fist aimed in front of him. Kurrack's math was perfect. Unless the boar has super-speed, Kurrack should hit the thing with the force of a school bus.

    Both dogs are dead, but Ne-Gok-Sa can make more. That's a lot of acid though, and the alien did not want to be near that snake. He dashes away a few paces.

    There is a problem with that tactic, as mentioned before, the trees growing at the bottom of the crater creates such a thick vegetation that it is impossible to see what is going on underneath. He can see some of the trees moving, but it won't give him a perfect indicator exactly where the boar is.

    ((Ah, whoops. Forgot about that))

    In this case, Kurrack starts jumping from tree branch to tree branch, trying to get a bead on the tentacle boar, maybe even he'd find his chain-sword.

    The giant vultures have already started to circle above, suggesting that whatever the outcome, at least someone would get fed tonight.
    When Kurrack descends, he can hear what sounds like a fight, there are growls and yips echoing through the crater and once he gets closer, he can see the boar fighting against a group of hyenas. Two of them are already on the ground, bleeding, but the boar is blocking the exit out of the crater so the pack appears to be trapped down here with it.

    The gremlin's body becomes smaller yet heavier, its teeth becoming short and broad. They tear into the warding spell, and its hands, now shovel-like claws, follow suit. Soon, a crack appears, through which the thing slithers out.

    Kurrack will need to be stealthy for this one. There was one thing towards his advantage though, and that was that Kurrack had a slightly larger brain than the boar's, one that was capable, most of the time anyway, of rational thought. Kurrack started to descend, and on the way picked up some moss. Once Kurrack was somewhere near the boar, he did his best to get his scent on the moss, then broke off a branch from the tree he was hiding on.. He wrapped the branch with the smelly alcohol infused moss, and threw it somewhere away from himself. Hopefully, after the Boar finished up with fighting, the noise and the smell should attract its attention, giving Kurrack enough time to reclaim his weapon and leap back into the trees.

    Willa is not surprised, but she is worried. She holds her staff in front of her, expecting the gremlin to strike.
    "Well I have no time left so do your best please!" she yells to the tiefling.

    Kurrack might have to wait then as the hyenas and the boar are taking part of a prolonged struggle as the hyenas are attempting to provoke the boar into attacking one of them so the rest can escape. Eventually, this ruse works and the hyenas escape, but with the boar right behind them. They are moving out of the crater now.

    The gremling crawls around Willa, its eyes alive with mindless malice and hunter. Its body churns and shifts again. The limbs grow long, and the torso smaller, until it resembles a large, grotesque spider with only two pairs of legs. It jumps towards Willa and tries to bury its many teeth in the nearest body part it can grab.

    Willa tucks the boomerang into her belt and swings the staff like a baseball bat with both hands, trying to knock the 'spider' away before it can take a bite out of her. This will be followed up with a series of swings mostly just trying to keep it off of her.

    When the staff hits the gremlin, it's knocked back, but then it clings to the staff with skin that's suddenly sticky. It digs its legs into the ground, trying to pull the staff out of Willa's hands.

    Willa mentally screams about what a terrible plan this was, and adjusts her grip on the staff, digging in her four feet (she would have said heels despite not really having them) into the ground, wrenching against the monster. If she's lucky, this little tug-of-war will eat up more of this monster's valuable time.

    Willa attempts to swiftly spin around. It requires a bit of jumping, on those hooves. But all so she can properly buck and kick the gremlin in the face with her back hooves.

    It would hurt very much if it connected with a normal living thing. Horses are large and have lots of muscle.

    Guinness and Aaron will be dropped off at a large encampment near some mountains. The drop ship that transported them will remain at the back of the camp for later extraction.

    They will both be greeted by a short, bald man, with a long belt of various knives along his waist. "Thank you for coming. My name is Garalatt. I lead this hunting party. Recently, what seems like a very large werewolf attacked the camp during the night. We should have been able to stop it, but it somehow switched it's position in the blink of an eye, and it could somehow seem to be in two places at once. Many of my people died, and not so people in this party are hunters. There are families and all sorts of normal people here. We know the beast comes from the caves in the mountains, although we don't know which one."

    This seems apparent, as the tents have large claw marks and traces of blood can be seen, as well as the smell of death still being in the camp.
    "Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand!

    Guinness considers suggesting spelunking, having some cave experience, but it probably wouldn't mesh well with a sniper's talents. "There might have been two of them. We should be careful not to discount the possibility. It'd be just our bad case of running jelly." The last thing they need is to be sniping one while another catches them off guard. Though if it is as fast as they say, it might not need another pack member to pull that off.

    Oh right. Introductions. "Greetings Garalatt. I'm Sergeant Guinness." Thank goodness that's over with.

    The gremlin might be a shapeshifting, insanely durable thing from the depths, but being kicked by a horse is being kicked by a horse. The creature tumbles away, flailing its legs, but silent.
