Delirious man about the outer fires...
-
An old but still strong man stumbled into the camp some few days past… he wakes from sleep and delirium but occasionally... scars from some foul and crude weapon are about his waist and legs. His face is recovering from some wickedly well placed punches.
On occaision he mumbles something about the "old menace" or maybe it was "kold spinach" hard to say really, a few teeth seem to be missing. Most likely he'll recover soon enough.
In his few lucid moments he's reluctant to speak and keeps tight to himself staring into the fire, mistrustful of any who approach. If questioned directly he says he's "Jes waitin for em to git me... been tol to wait it out here."

accepts the soup gratefully
After a few days the man seems healthy and is in his lucid state more often than the delirious one…
Then one day, he's gone from the camp. Graadvul shrugs and says he left mumbling something about the "Old Dentist" or something.
