Re: [HoE] East of the Mighty Missip

[Thomas Mayfield <dragonboyblue@mindspring.com>]

I've got two ideas, but having not read "The Hound" I don't really know if
they'll work.  First of all, the village The Hound is attack has some kind
of dark secret related to the fig.  Two, The Hound could be a servitor of
Death, and the dark secret is related to the servitor's weakness.
