Wondrous Creatures

Hey there! Listen, I can't go back to camp until I've figure out what's going on here! There are these strange creatures that resemble lizardmen but... not exactly. Maybe they're in the same family, I don't know. What's interesting is that a few of them are watching us closely! They appear to be scouts - and good ones at that!

Take this potion, drink a few drops, and lie down - the potion will slow down your breathing and make your heartbeat barely audible. He'll think you're a genuine corpse! When the beast comes closer to check you out, get as good a look as you can!

I didn't think that the beast would actually attack you! I'm sorry for putting you at such risk - I was certain that the creature would consider you already dead and wouldn't attack the corpse.

It's now clear that they're very aggressive and should generally be avoided... But it's still unclear as to where they came from! Our textbooks and manuals make no mention of creatures that resemble lizardmen and dragons at the same time!
