Perhaps I can assist, being a woodsman does provide some knowledge.

You are able to extract the glands and bladder that let the beast breathe fire, of some value to an alchemist or incanter.

"Is there anything else you're needing, then, or can we leave the carcass to the wolves?  Maybe another helping of raw meat for the farm hands?"

I wonder if it is even edible? I most certainly would consider it tainted.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 273):

"I am not convinced the meat is edible either, especially coming from a beast that seems to be magical, but happy to give them what they need. But I fear we may have other issues we need to deal with, so lets finish this and get ready for dealing with the undead at the stronghold."

We may need to unload these organs first, as I doubt they keep well. We could also buy a few items to assist in taking said castle.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 275):

"Good Point. I just want to stop by there to make sure we have not opened Pandora's Box..."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 276):

The wolf meat might be more palatable.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 277):

"So we ready to head back, via the castle?"

I think we skip the castle unless we wish to get involved there ... this stuff is perishable and even if we found something there, what are we going to do? Lose the cash  form the organs and the opportunity to equip ourselves properly? Bad plan, lets haste to sell this and buy the things we need, then go to the castle.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 279):

"I can ensure the entrance is securely closed in a short time by moving earth. That is all I had in mind."

"I believe we should head back, but if you feel we should double check the castle, then I can accept that."

You make your way back to the farmstead with your assorted hides and some wolf meat.

And from there back to the castle, assuming the (female) farmer is OK, with her family.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 283):

You return to the gates of the tower, with their tunnel.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 284):

Any signs the tunnel has seen use recently?

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 285):

Make a tracking roll?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 286):

Kirpich looks closely...

[Private to GM: Rolled 6 under skill, tracking.]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 287):

There has been traffic in both directions,   although none as fresh as today. Narrow feet in soft shoes dragging something i ward.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 287):

Kirpich will shape earth to close off the tunnel, very well.

[Private to GM: Shape earth 15 under, 12 under, 12 under. As much as he can for free, but that would be at least 6 cubic yards. For skill 20, is natural 5 a critical success?]

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 289):

Nicely done!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 290):

The tunnel well and truly closed off, Kirpich is ready to head back to town with the others to deal with the creature parts...

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 291):

Not quite certainof the location of the town, unless it lies to the south.

So far, there has only been the rice growing Village, and there is supposed to be a fortified town that is theseat of the barony.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 292):

Right. I was thinking of Northport, unless someone knows of a closer town we could unload stuff?

Yes, a known place.
