We were in some kind of cave. We had been pulled under the earth by the monster and we could see bones of previous creatures. They lined the walls roots shooting through them. I assumed the creature just ate things, but apparently it drained them of their life slowly which was a benefit to Nidget and myself. Nidget for the most part had already escaped his roots, probably because he was short and not technically alive so the creature failed to account for him.
"So are we like in its stomach?"
"I'm not a biologist Nidget."
"Well yeah but you know things right?"
"Nope, get me out of here!"
"Won't that alert the monster?"
"NIDGET! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" I could have used my coldfire, but I was keeping my reserves of that just in case it came down to slugging it out with the monster. The little jerk finally freed me and we moved on from the "stomach" to further in, which definitely felt like we were inside the creature, despite being underground. I figured if we kept going enough we'd find its heart and be able to kill it underground (good of a theory as any other!) So we walked under the earth for a bit until we came to a central chamber and found its heart and an old tired man.
"I knew someone would come eventually to kill my boy." He leveled a pistol at us, I didn't even know they had guns this early, his hand was weak though and he couldn't even keep the pistol up before he dropped it and started crying. And things only got more awkward from there.
