Re: D&D: The Rise and Fall of Knoss

The people seem more in awe of the giant Islander than outright terrified of him. Some even offer their stew to him. "Where did you coming from?" one asks.

Re: D&D: The Rise and Fall of Knoss

Karag plops himself down in a circle of tiefling men and women eating rank-smelling stew, sitting cross-legged. He gets no more than a brief, uncomfortable stare from everyone before they immediately try to keep their gaze away from him.

Re: D&D: The Rise and Fall of Knoss

Once Karag is done butchering the bear, Marko dons the pelt. You must admit, he does look rather snazzy in it. The party also takes inventory of the meat they gathered, ready to move on.
