Dicing with Death: Episode 016

__NOTOC__
==Recap==
Balrog leaves the town of The Pit and heads south. After a day of jogging he arrives back in the town of Sands Gate around dawn. Balrog discovers there are 5 different blacksmith shops in town. He visits one, Figit Brown, and hires to use it at night when the blacksmith isn't using it, for 2 gold a day. Balrog then starts his project to make himself plate-mail. His project takes 8 weeks. Balrog uses his family secrets to make the steel appear black.
On the 8th week news spreads around town about a beast eating people on the road to The Pit. It isn't known what the creatures are, but corpses have been found with large bites taken out of them. A group of adventures are hired to deal with the problem. Balrog heads out to meet with the adventures who had a day head-start.
Some time into the night he finds the remains of three of the adventures. They have had limbs bitten off in single bites. Then the earth starts to shake. Bursting out of the ground is a Jumping out of Purple Worm. The Purple Worm injures Balrog badly before Balrog flees back to Sands Gate, dropping gear so he can move faster.
After resting, Balrog reports to the local official about the Purple Worm. Balrog is considered a hero with the town and goes to bed with a local Dwarf Woman.
The local officials organise some heroes to gather in 10 days time to deal with the Purple Worm. Balrog runs out to the spot he dropped his gear, collects it, and returns to Sands Gate. 
The next day Balrog prepares some spells and jogs back out to fight the Purple Worm alone. Purple Worm kills Balrog.
