Not a Swamp Monster, A Swamp Giant

"That is a one big freaking monster." It was the size of a small building. I want to think Dave should have oversold the creature in its size, but I don't think that was possible. It was very much a creature, all made of earth and seemingly partially fused with the ground. Very much alive, a wandering animal got snatched up and eaten while we watched.

"Well everything is big to me, this one bigger than most." Nidget had that perspective, though I think he was underselling the size difference.

"So what do you think we do to kill it?"

"If Trezlan were here he'd say burn it down, so uhh you go set it on fire and we solve this little issue." I was hesitant to believe either a Trezlan plan or the cold fire would work on such a creature.

"So what's the other plan that won't get us killed?" Before Nidget could answer roots reached up from the ground and had snatched us. I should have known the creature would have noticed us, but you know when you are in an argument with a little person you make mistakes. Mistake like standing there like an idiot while it grabs you and slowly lumbers over to eat you. Mistakes like that.
