The creature quivers when Dharak prods it with the knife, and lets out
a low flatulent sound.    Whether or not this is it's final death
rattle, or it isn't quite dead isn't clear, but after Dharak stabs it
a couple more times, it moves no more.

There is a unpleasant reek about it, unlike any creature anyone has
encountered before.

Nobody's wounds are particularly serious or life-threatening; probably
Jorg's is the worst - that one's going to be sore for a while.

Reylorna now beings to come round.
