Hyenakles continues to watch. He also wipes the grease off his muzzle and straightens his cloak, trying to look dignified despite his lack of fur.

Go sideways.  Is it tracking me or just looking in my direction.  Go the long way around if it's not tracking me.  Back up if it is.

Listen carefully to the beast.
You listen carefully. Intently. With great concentration and effort.

Nope. No matter how hard you do it, it doesn't change the fact that the thing ain't talking.

"Hmm. What's a way to communicate with unresponsive beings?
Oh, there's that."


Get Wormy to make the warbeast sketch a picture of what we are. Can be crude if need be. Then point to the other beast.
"Sketch? Where? With what? They don't make paper or pens in this size."

>Dave: Approach at high speed and make friends! DINOSAUR SNUGGLE POWER ACTIVATE!

((OH DEAR))

"So... why is it looking at me?"

Go sideways.  Is it tracking me or just looking in my direction.  Go the long way around if it's not tracking me.  Back up if it is.


"I saw some sort of flicker of blue light, over there by the shoulder.  Can someone distract it or something?
You scuttle to the left. The eye stalks sway and the eyes follow you. You scuttle to the right. The eye stalks sway and the eyes follow you. You back up a bit and the eye stalks extend ever so slightly.

Yeah, it's looking at you alright.

You wipe the viscera from your muzzle and then do your best to look regal. You end up looking more like canine Darth Sidious in a fur cloak but we take what we can get.

You look around but the glare of the sun off a pane of glass catches you right in the eye and you go reeling back like you just got flashbanged.

Dream a little dream of high-powered explosive ordnance raining down from the sky.

You dream of children throwing firecrackers from a third story window.

- Oh, it's looking at you? Gee, that must feel BLOODY horrible, doesn't it? Damn sun beams getting right to my eyes, those bollock fondlers.

Is it possible to just straight up climb up to the alleged location of the flickering blue light? How high is that above the ground, the near-shoulder of a giant?

Dream-carry one of the children to a reasonable height, then drop them onto a rock so that their skulls crack and their brainmeats are mine to consume.

Damn it feels good to be a vulture.

The Alleged source of heavenly delights is buried in the rubble of another partially collapsed building that is sitting right next to the one the giant is partially embedded in. Judging from the slope of debris it looks like it fell at the same time as the giant, so maybe this glowing thing was something that the giant was carrying and dropped as it fell? In any case, you think you might be able to climb up the debris to get up to it, but it is right next to the giant, and at about his eye level.

"In the dirt with a finger, you invertebrate fuck. Or does this place not have dirt and the warbeast not have fingers? I'm not being condescending, I never bothered checking."

Remember, the ground is completely covered in foliage and wreckage from destroyed buildings. Also the warbeast's fingers are each twice as thick as your torso so it would take a pretty large amount of room to write even a single message.

This also assumes the thing can read. And knows your language.

Dream-carry one of the children to a reasonable height, then drop them onto a rock so that their skulls crack and their brainmeats are mine to consume.

You murder a non-existent child. Or rather you think about it and then you're already eating his brain. Things are progressing in an odd, dreamlike manner, with cause and effect being strangely direct.

"I care not for your petty concerns of sensibility, worm. Stop pointing out the obvious, it's actively detrimental here."

Xankarvo paces for a moment.

"Here, try this. Have the warbeast point at itself, or me, and say my name. Then point at the giant."

- This must be what Bilbo felt in the presence of Smaug.

Crawl up the rubble to the eye level of a giant. Conquer fear and look him in the eye (if applicable). Then look for magickal macguffin.
