79.murk-demonspawn.17.(3)

The festivities are rolling on and on, they climax tomorrow, but today I had to get out for a bit to clear my head. As usual Shad accompanied me, trailing behind at his regular distance. Headed out for Ughill Heights and the Edgefield Obelisk, an impressive structure erected to mark the site of a stream where a local child was drowned. Nothing much other of interest other than the murk was lazy, soaking me through and spotted a dead Dyapnid in the ditch near the part of the Wisewood called Storrs Wood. A few paces further along there was the carcass of a pied grizzler, presumably it and the dyapnid (or maybe a pack of them) had been fighting and these two had succumbed to their wounds. I noted that Shad gave the latter a wide berth as he passed it, nothing is interested in a dead grizzler; I bet its body is still laid there a month from now.
