Angus shakes his head. "We got us plenty of trouble already in this place without rustling up more of it. Leave the scavenger woman be."

The party watches, on guard, as this strange creature/jewelry probes first around the chameleon woman slain by Angus. It does not seem to find what it is looking for, and flits over to the other body. There it finds exposed, cracked bone. The creature forces its proboscis into the exposed area and begins to feed.

Chet suggests trying to capture it to appease the Blue Lady at the entrance of the maze, but Angus and Dandelion caution against it, not sure what the repercussions for such an action might be.

Yenny nibbles a bit. "Shall we carry on?"

Hyde, still gaping at the flying ornament, is even more flabbergasted. Will ya look at that! It... She passed one ova in fava of bones pokin' out. The short Half-Orc is genuinely interested, and he looks to his Tribe. I know this probably be a dumb idea, but maybe if we open up that otha Lizard Girl, this Bumble-Bird will eat her bones too, hah? Maybe we have an ally then?

Chet shrugs, but agrees with Hyde's suggestion. "OK, but someone with other weapons should do it, not me."

He keeps watch in case anything else attacks.

Yenny walks towards the other dead creature, her hammer in hand. She moves slowly around the feeding shiny thing, mumbling nothings in her native tongue. She raises her hammer above the bones, waiting to see if the shiny gives any indication of preference about whether she should smash, or if it even seems aware of her presence.

Ya want me to do it, hah? Hyde asks, his bulbous eyes still on the bumble-bird, I can open it up real quick-like, bones and all. Had lotsa practice with my axe, yeahh.

"I'm good", Yenny says softly in response to Hyde's outburst.

"Leave 'em be," says Angus. "Ain't no reason to give that critter a notion that fresh marrow might be tastier than what it's got now, is there?"

Yenny strides over to the chameleon sorceress' body. Its lone wound is Angus' arrow, snapped in two. Visual inspection confirms no marrow is exposed. The gnomish devotee of Veles raises her mace, looking for a reaction from the jeweled hummingbird. It certainly seems aware of the party, rotating about the body it's feeding on to keep an eye on all adventurers, but it offers no sign of understanding what Yenny is trying to accomplish. But then again, how would anyone know? The juxtaposition of the beautifully crafted...thing...and a bloody charred corpse is striking.

Tempus observes the creature, concluding that it is not of the natural world. At least not the one he is from.

Hyde offers to break open the sorceress' bones with his great strength and steel, but Angus cautions against such an action.

Yenny hits an arm bone of the other creature in an attempt to break it open and then backs away towards the party.

The halfling Druid shakes his dreadlocks sadly and shivers, moving away from the strange blood sucker bird like creature and looks for a way forward.

"More chameleon women I see. Bad news. I would leave that thing be if I were you, it isn't if the natural world. It will no doubt just as soon such on one of our bones as the inhabitants of this prison. Is there anything of value upon the bodies Yenny? We should be going soon!" he says sadly, exploring the tunnel/doors leading off this place.

Pretty sure others already searched the bodies."

"Although this creature may be unnatural, I see nothing unnatural in scavenging the remains of a creature. And at the moment, I can't bear to think of any creature going hungry. Such a miserable, mind-warping feeling. If there was less hunger, there would be less violence." Yenny pulls another small snack from a pocket.

"Maybe between animals," says Rufus. "People have never needed much of an excuse to fight."

Yenny takes a quick nibble of food and bludgeons the dead chameleon sorceress' arm. On her third blow, the sickening thud is accompanied by a wet crack...the splitting of bone.

The sound gains the attention of the jeweled bird. It jerks its head toward the sound of the bone snapping, but it continues to feed where it is. Hyde cuts open the arm to expose the cracked bone.

Rufus compares animal instinct to those of men...the men are painted in an unflattering light.

Tempus laments the appearance of more lizard women, and expresses a desire to move onwards. But which direction?

Tempus will listen at the door below the one with the descending stair behind it on the right wall. If he can hear nothing untoward he will open it.

Chet will follow Tempus through the door and check the floor beyond for traps.
