Tall Tales

[Qinniqtuq Aggaak]

A prospector who had taken the valley pass to bring his ore to Aquor was overheard in the tavern with his outlandish tales of his adventures in the spine. Most turned a deaf ear to his overinflated stories of heroics of fending off his claim from winter wolves and northmen and other mountain beasts. The pinnacle of his tale was that of actually outside Aquor where he boasts of coming across a group of Minotaurs, and that his threats drove them into the caves by the valley road camp. The tavern silenced his story with a thunderous laugh for the ridiculousness of it all... Minotaurs near aquor?! Perposterous! He had left in embarresment shouting what he had said was true.

His body was found five minutes later outside the tavern. Nobody seemed to be laughing after that.
