+Ken Austin asks We found a massive tooth the size of a man's fist - a molar with roots intact. The enamel is a flawless white, covered with intricate scrimshaw designs that give us an uneasy feeling if stared at for too long (they appear to begin to writhe and pulse). Detect magic revealed nothing, but the paladin ran away screaming when he attempted to detect evil. Oh, and one more thing: we can't convince the rogue to put it down so the rest of us can look at it.
While it may look like a molar with the roots intact what you have found is a Mel-chie chrysalis. The Mel-chie are a race of beings who travel among the plains, in there adult form the appear as golden winged moths the size of ships with bodies made up of squirming tentacles. They feed on large scale despair, hatred and fear.
You must get the chrysalis away from your thief. During the Mel-chie's second larval stage it takes up residence in a host and forces them to cause strife, war and other disasters so as to create a food source for its self. What you see as the root of the molar is actually a tendril of the Parsifal second larval stage. The scrimshaw that makes you feel uneasy is mesmerizing your thief to hold on to it while the parasite takes hold.
I pray this information reaches you in time.
