When he finally died, his s<strong>to</strong>mach was removed as an oddity... and since<br />

then, it has 'wandered' the Planes in search <strong>of</strong> new s<strong>to</strong>machs.<br />

I left this <strong>to</strong> myself for one reason. Might as well make the most <strong>of</strong> it.<br />

*GULP*<br />

Wow. Utterly revolting.<br />

I really wish I had a glass <strong>of</strong> water <strong>to</strong> wash this <strong>do</strong>wn. Scraping the last bits <strong>of</strong><br />

the Gullet <strong>of</strong>f my <strong>to</strong>ngue and swallowing them (thus making no waste <strong>of</strong> any<br />

magic whatsoever) I led us <strong>do</strong>wn <strong>to</strong> the Foundry.<br />

Grace could <strong>do</strong> <strong>not</strong>hing for the cramping in my guts. It was either the magic<br />

"Do y'have a receipt? You need a receipt or I can't give you anything."<br />

"Yes, I <strong>do</strong>," I pulled it out <strong>of</strong> my pack. The paper was thick, but so old and dry<br />

it seemed like it might've cracked like ancient leather if I wasn't more<br />

Nadilin <strong>to</strong>ok the receipt from me and scrutinized it carefully. "This thing's<br />

over a hundred years old! How'd you come by it?"<br />

"I left it for myself, but I got busy."<br />
