"It's the strangest thing" The bartender pulls the bugbear in close and starts to whisper "<em>The survival stories never seem to match up. They always describe different things. With the only common factor being the skin. Which is covered with stone like plates. At first I thought it had to be some sort of shapechanger, but I've met two survivors both of which were under the affect of trueseeing and swear to their lives of different monsters. Whatever is out there is changing through different kin, not magic.</em>" Leaning back out he returned to a normal volume of speaking "It's just dangerous. Don't go off doing something reckless." he starts cleaning glasses again.
