Lars Fangripper's Second Report

Fang-Ripper report 2

Grey-man

Small in stature, stands only four or five feet tall at most. Pale grey skin, large head, large black eyes with small slits for nostrils and a mouth.

While this creature is not physically dominant, it has the ability to control and confuse minds, something I have witnessed first hand. Turning allies into mad berserks in an instant. The grey-man also seemed equipped with a bandolier and some strange object that looks like a sword hilt.

Despite these creatures being found in the depths of the Tel, they seem unprepared for combat themselves and can be easily defeated by blade or bow.

Giant green ape/chnelh

I encountered this creature along with the grey-man, it seemed to act as some bodyguard for them. Tall and with a large build this monster stands like a human but it's overall body has an ape form. It's skin had two colors, green parts which seem to take little or no damage from weapons and red parts which were the weak points. When I skinned this creature with the help of the Confraternity it had possessed two separate hides, one containing the green skin and the inner hide was red. It is unknown to me if this creature has a natural second skin or if it grey-man masters have something to do with it.

This ape man possessed a basic intelligence since it was armed with a sword and it seemed to understand our questions when we captured it but didn't speak or give a clear response.

Sewer crab

I met this monster in the Undercity of Cothan. It's main body is flat and is roughly five feet in diameter Sporting a number of legs and two pincer claws. It has a hard exoskeleton making it formidable in combat. I am unsure how it attacks its victims, whether by ambush or brute force but we did find torn clothing. These sewer crabs eat metal as well as flesh and are able to shoot a damaging spray from their mouths.

They build nest in the ground to lay in and treasure can be found there. We were able to find a jewel that the beast passed after it ate some sort of jewelry. They also live in groups as we found three nests together but only two crabs were present.
