At first you think it is dinner - a mountain lion or some such, short work for your warriors.
But it proves to be something far deadlier!
A creature with a human head, lion's body and scorpion's tail!
"I Am The Manticore!", says the creature, with a weird accent, "bow down to me and worship me as your god, make a food offering and I may let you live!"
You are shivering in fear! The creature is fearsome! You never saw such a monstrosity!
> Bow down and worship the Manticore (angers the gods)> Give the manticore what remains of your food> Ask a question to the strange beast (specify)> Fight your fear and attack the Manticore!> Write in
