Urthask dismounts and murmurs soothing words and a firm command to his mount to guard this entrance. He then fishes a small packet out of his belt pouch. He unfolds the packet, revealing a mixture of dried herbs and powders which might have been mistaken for chewing tobacco if it weren't an angry shade of red, and smelled far more potent. This is
gutka, a strong stimulant traditionally used by his tribe. The warrior takes a pinch of this and rubs it into his gums before putting the packet away. His pointed teeth, it can be seen, are stained permanently red by the concoction, making it perpetually seem as if he has blood in his mouth. The effect is doubly stark seen, as it is now, against the backdrop of the enormous ghost bear's snowy white flank.
