> "Hey!"
> Land, keeping eyes on the beast.

>You land, and the brute does not stop her dash. For how awkwardly she moves, you are surprised how much speed she can gain. Part of you almost expects her to use her knuckles to help propel her along, but she never does.
>Within a moment, she disappears down into the burrow.

> "Come back here!"

>She seems to have little interest in listening; you certainly don't hear anything like her returning. Instead, you hear...motion. And something like rocks clacking together at random.

>Yes.
>You cannot really tell, it soon becomes pitch black. But it has to be a least a few yards down.

>It's more the latter, but the mound is just a small hill so the entrance continues down at a steep angle.

>You make your way toward the burrow, so that you can see into it without being directly in front of it. Within a few moments, you can see movement in the barely visible gloom!

>You move to the left, as a something gray and fist-sized flies past you! The sound it makes as it smacks into a tree somewhere behind you leaves little question that it was a rock. The loudness of the sound leaves little question that getting hit by it would likely cause a serious injury; the kind you particularly do not want to have this far from civilization.

>You take a step back, as the brute all but leaps from the hole!
>She has a carrying sling made of what you assume is untanned deerhide around her chest now, bulging with what you assume are rocks. In her left hand, she carries...you assume it's some kind of machete. It is hewn from a single long, flat stone with one side chipped into what is probably a serviceable edge. She glares at you as she reaches into her sling, and pulls out a rock.
