Edwin removed his hand from his face. “Well... that wasn't quite what I was expecting. I figured that it would be some sort of threat, but I honestly didn't see the whole alien squid thing coming." He said, approaching the burnt mass of tentacles that now floated in place of the creature. Retrieving his notepad he jotted down notes about the creature, such as Vulnerable to fire and Poison breath? along with sketching it as he could best remember it. Which probably wasn't very well since he had only observed it a few seconds before attempting to turn it into an appetizer.
Kai mentioned a commotion, and something about people being in danger as Edwin made his sketch. It seemed he wouldn't get to examine the creature any further. At least not right now. "I would've liked another moment to check the remains for magic, maybe take a sample for later study, but I do suppose that whatever's going on ahead takes precedence."
"Everyone here?" he asked, making a quick scan of the group. As far as he could tell they were, with the possible exception of Riad. "It looks like it, although I don't see the Parili," he looked down the tunnel from which they came "Not Mr. Ghurst of course. The scaly one with the unsettling disposition." Edwin took out his communicator. "It may be a good idea to retrieve him. Though it would be a shame if any were to be harmed for our dawdling."
