-----Gimplefwick rubs his eyes and squints at the black stone Kazel is holding forth, "Why, I believe that closely resembles the Death Mark of the Eastern Sawoojian Bugtussle tribe. Their religion mandated that a subject be given one of their sacred black stones as a sign of their impropriety. Of course the only punishment they ever levied was death. Usually, the poor victim had twenty-four hours to set their affairs in order, then the marked criminal was hunted down and skinned alive by specially trained carnivorous apes. Huh! I never expected to see one of those in person. It's very rare. Of course it could just be a chunk of black rock." Gimplefwick shrugs his shoulders, "I wouldn't worry about it. I'm fairly certain that I would have heard if there were any big man eating monkeys in town." Gimplefwick eyes the stone uneasily and edges slightly away from Kazel, eyes darting nervously about the room as though he expected a horde of hungry apes with skinning utensils to burst into the room at any moment.
