Neverwinter Forest A bad penny always turns up.

He started and there were a few nice creaks and splintering noises, but Mal was very cautious about not trying too hard. Mouths were kind of important, but since he didn't have hands, it was pretty much all he had to work with. Simmik worked from her own side of things, and made far more progress faster -- she knocked free a much larger chunk that he had so far.

In fact, she'd done a good job of pretty well compromising its structure. He felt some of the section he was working on give -- there was just less that it was connected to elsewhere across the log. Still, he wasn't just going to rip the whole thing open like some sort of crazy kid on Christmas, but did put a little bit more effort in just in case it would budge enough at once to let the guy out.
