Polyphemus picked his teeth with one of the bones scattered around his lair. His lone eye was trained on his hoard of treasure, as he belched loudly and spat out a hiking boot. Despite his brutishness, he was well versed in the classical arts and had a keen ear for fine music. His captives, hoping to not become so many bones, concocted an evil plan to escape, a tune that would render him spellbound. Upon hearing this cacophony, he froze in place and remains there to this day.
