Glint the Unstable Elemental CalcivoreAsk him where his child is, and what I can do to help.
You answer to the injured crystal humanoid, telling him not to worry as you won't kill him.
"Where is your child ?" you ask. "I will help you."
He answers with a weak tone :
"This must be a blessing...thank you so much... My child is farther into the cavern, he is being chased by another monster. Before you go..."
"...I will give you my last forces. I... I only have a few minutes left, and if someone don't hurry my child will die. Save him, I beg you..."
Do you accept his request ?Stormslayer the Aradian Mirage Beetle HeroWith his momentary worries partially addressed, he would head out, and begin scouting around for signs of non-beetle life ahead of the main force. He needed someone to talk to. someone with a outside view.
The colony is moving again. It's night time, and the cloud-less sky is riddled with stars and the majestic moon. You decide to join the scouts on the far front.
[1] The vast desert is so calm, and there is no sign of living beings in the surroundings. Your fellow scouts don't report anything either.
Suddenly a scout scream and disappears. Then another. And another.
But the enemy is nowhere to be seen. From above ? Underground ? Or an invisible enemy ? Then you feel a vibration and quickly jump away. Something emerges from under you, it's an humanoid figure... It's a Sand Golem !
Then a dozen other emerges from various other places. It seems you walked right into their territory !
You have 4 scouts left with you.
