   [Ryzar]
   "What do you mean?" Ryzar asks, "Are you asking if the Kolder keep beasts
that look like whatever that creature is?  Or, are you asking if the Kolder
have either a weapon, or some tame beast that can do what has been DONE to
that thing?"
   Ryzar shrugs his wet studded leather clad shoulders.
   "Either way, I don't know.  None of the tales I've heard speak of either
such a creature, or such a method of attack.  But, just because I may not
have heard of such, does not mean that it may not be Kolderspawned...." the
young Borderer answers, looking around at the dim, grey-seeming landscape
around the group.
