Timmy turned with a huge smile.

"A Big Boss for a change! We have the video running Joe?""Had it going from the time we made plans in the inn.

I'll edit the boring shit later and send it off." Joseph bent and tapped Ozzy on the head, tossing him a small healing spell.

"Wakey, Wakey, Mr.

Butcher.

You're safe, and Sir Timothy is going to go smite that monster.

Can you fill us in on any details?"Ozzy shook his head and stood up.

"Monster? Something killed the chickens and hit me."Louie nocked an arrow.

"Well, that's about the typical intel we get from the locals.

Let’s just go light this thing up."There was a crash and the sound of breaking wood as something huge broke through a building and onto the street.

What looked like a walking pile of meat and bone turned and headed towards the edge of the village where the workers’ huts were.

Ozzy pulled out two cleavers and started jogging after it.

Timmy laughed.

"Ok, we have some NPC help.

It's heading towards the crappy end of town.

Be a bit careful Hugh, slums catch fire easily."Hugh just smiled, "Think of it as me doing my part for urban renewal.

They can get rid of the slums and build something better.

Maybe a nice apartment building or a mall."Timmy turned to the group and spoke lower.

"Ok, circle it up and group shout for the cameras".

The group formed a rough circle and extended their hands.

"For Glory!""...For Loot!""...For the Light!""...For MOMCO!!"The crew jogged down the street after the monster.

Suzette had just stepped out of the tavern and watched the little chant with amusement until the last word.

Her thoughts spun in circles as the blackness of the dream returned.

"Momco?Momco! Oh, that little shit with his shiny smile.

Damn, damn, damn!" She took a deep breath and began running after them.

She had to find Ozzy.The Charnel Daemon headed quickly for the area with the most people.

It had carelessly hit the first prey too hard and lost it, but these next were easy.

Several were in each of the pitiful little buildings.

No protection at all.

It charged through the wall of the first hut.

Tendrils of muscle grabbed for the four workers sleeping inside.

Roger and Arran never made it out of bed, both pinned and killed before they knew what was going on.

Sai was a light sleeper and almost made it to the door before a long bone spike pinned him to the wall.

Lyle woke and just screamed twice before a huge knob of bone came down on his head.

The Daemon crashed through the front door, dragging bodies behind it.Outside, several of the workers were up, one with a lantern.

They watched in horror as what looked like a creature made of bone and meat stumbled from the ruined hut on several misshapen legs.

It was already beginning to absorb the bodies into itself.

One massive arm ended with a bone nob, the other in a three-foot-long bone spike.

Ropy tendrils sprouted as it crawled forward moving towards the group.

The workers scattered, screaming.Ozzy came up at a sprint and brought both cleavers down, chopping deep into the side of the creature facing him.

His efforts got its attention.

The huge bony arm swinging at him, and again knocking him away from it.

Luckily Hugh was there to soften his landing.

Charnel Daemon critically pummels you for 300 crushing damage.

You mitigate some of the blow and take 270 points of damage.
