Giant Scorpians

As soon as the creature saw Daus, its eyes burned with new found intensity.

Then it let out a sharp, maniacal sound—a metallic, screeching laugh that made their ears ring, as though nails were being dragged across steel.

The laughter subsided, replaced by a voice that was raspy and venomous. It locked its burning gaze on Daus and spoke with deliberate malice.

"You cunning bastard.," he hissed.

"You called for help from outsiders... and not just any outsiders." The creature's gaze flicked to Jolthar, a twisted grin spreading across its face. "From a goddess herself."

The words sent a ripple of confusion through the group.

Jolthar, his expression hardening, took a step forward, sword still drawn. "What are you talking about?" he demanded. His frown deepened as the creature turned its attention to him fully.
