The snail creature started melting, literally flowing out of the shell, the tentacles likewise, green goo seeping through cracks in the ground. The smell was disgusting, but Seena did not detect any released energies. She stepped up to the ledge of the basin, looking down at the others and the defeated beast.
"I think this thing is dead. Well fought, friends!" She yelled down.
She saw Hana staring at the shell. Worrying that she might be injured, Seena skittered down the wall (Climb: 25 - Take 10 +15) and walked up to her. Hana seemed fine, if goo-covered, but from up close, Seena could see why she was fascinated by the shell. Beside its impressive size, it was covered in patterns too subtle to be carved in. It was as beautiful as it was imposing.
"Are you ok?" She asked Hana.
"This looks impressive. I've never seen anything like it. Let me check if it is still dangerous."
Seena focused her gaze on it, especially the interior, to get a feel for the physical properties and magical connections of the shell, to smell out any lingering corruptive influence. (Survival: 18}
"What were you gonna do with it? Carry it to Lady Blackshield as trophy?"
Seena addressed the others as they gathered around. "I think we have completed our task. Let us return to the desolate lands or Hawken territory before we rest." She then muttered, still audible to them all but clearly not intended as a public remark. "The land there is just as corrupted, but at least we travel under the protection of the local beasts."
As the others started leaving, Seena quickly searched the basin and recovered the arrows she let fly during the battle, both still intact. (2d2: 4)
