Rin calls out into the cave, "Hello, my new friend, we do not have much in the way of bloody crunch and munch...but maybe we can get some for you?  Come, show yourself to us and we can talk, yes?"

Rin calls out into the cave, "Hello, my new friend, we do not have much in the way of bloody crunch and munch...but maybe we can get some for you?  Come, show yourself to us and we can talk, yes?"

 OoC: this should be good ;)

You all hear a very excited voice in your head: "You can gets bloody munch and crunch? Bring me the fresh munch and crunch and I give you shiny and let you through"

As the creature's voice whispers in his head, Anton looks over at Ordrin for a moment contemplating something, then shakes his head as if snapping out of something. "I think this thing is trying to turn us against each other," he whispers. "Stay strong. Should we kill it or bargain with it? Seems like it wants fresh meat, but I assume if there were any animals in here it'd just catch them itself."

 "It dunna sound good to me." Ordrin draws his war hammer and searches for some recollection of such a creature.

OoC: Wow. Let's get that out of the way.

"What is your name?  My hungry friend..." Rin says to the voice.

"Maybe we could get him a cow or some other farm animal?" Rin says to the group.

It reminds you of a cuddly, fluffy, loved pet you had as a child that was always hungry. An urge to go pet it washes over you

 "Wait just a minute," Ordrin says as realization washes over him. "Is that me wee Ghrelin? No, it canno' be."

OoC: Is Ordrin compelled?

"Feed you my good friend Ordrin? No, no, he is not munch and crunch." Rin says and then with growing anger in his voice he adds, "He is my friend, I am starting to think that you are not going to be a friend!  Come out and show yourself!"

  Nope! Just thought it was a fun reaction to the '1' lol

OoC: Hyakujuo, love the name choice for Ordrin's hungry ex-pet. That's perfect. :-)

"This may help, lad," Ordrin says, casting Thaumaturgy. The bleating of a soft, tasty lamb breaks the stillness.

OoC: DM, let me know if Thaumaturgy can't do a sheep.

(I'm sorry again for my lack of presence here, but if I need to solve the riddle of the torch, Leo is by far the best option to hold it at any time, if later there's any need for it, since he'll only be holding a staff at all times.)

Leo followed the group there, and not wanting to participate in that confusing conversation with the "monster"(?), he just sits quiet, meditating while standing up, which from an outsider's perspective may look like he's just snoozing.

 OoC: yeah, it seems like it should be something in the monster manual.

OoC: Oh, I didn't know that was a Dnd monster. Ghrelin is a hormone that promotes hunger. Thought that was a good bit of wordplay. 

OoC: I believe Hyakujuo is not saying it's a D&D monster, but instead they're saying that the name looks like it came out of there, despite it not coming from there. Since in reality, there's no D&D monter called Ghrelin.

OoC: Oh, yeah. I'm dense. It was early.
