I have been travelling for a bit more than 2 weeks and have not had a chance to check on the beast. Today I contacted the owner to get an update. Apparently, the large heart and the circulating heart are now both working well after significant rebuilds. There seems to still be a slight problem controlling her temperature, but that makes sense, given the extent of the damage. The field surgeons have done an excellent job, and warm fluid once again flows through the great beast’s massive veins.

In any case…the saga of the beast seems to be over. There may be a few minor adjustments needed over the next few weeks. But for the most part, the beast is comfortable in her new home and is adapting well. The Knights of the Coffee Table consider this quest complete.
