Locke turned towards Rasler, "That thing was pretty tough."

He then looked around as the people began to exit their hiding places, relieved that the danger had passed.

"For the sake of these people and this town, I sure hope there aren't anymore creatures around. It might just destroy the town."

The local tavern owner strode down the street grinning as he approached the trio, "I'd like to thank you all for clearing the town of this menace. It was hurting business. Come on over and have a meal on me."

Locke had never been approached this way before and was unsure of how to respond to the kind gesture. He looked to his companions pleading for them to help him out.
