Not quite, although he did want me dead the second he got a sniff of my blood, as a descendent of Riegan, one of the Ten Elites. [A whole other story in and of itself, but he'll skip over it for now.] He said if we killed him first, we could have all his treasure.
Complicating things even further, a few thieves showed up with the same idea as us. They, uh... were pretty scattered, though, and the poor guys either got devoured by giant sandworms, or slain by the beast if they so much as got close. A few even attacked my own army.
[What a mess... He scratches the back of his neck and concludes the story with a grin.]
If you can believe it, though, after we fought the beast long enough, he just kinda got tired and dozed off, so we left him be and took his treasure. One of them was a sacred weapon. I can't say for sure if it was made by Saint Macuil, but we got something out of the whole expedition, either way.
