Change a Letter III

[Tusky]

It seems that whilst we were chatting... the quarry has had the opportunity to bolt

[Jubal]

A whole quarry? It can't have gotten far, it's literally made of rock! Or arguably the partial absence of rock! Tighten your belt and let's get after it!

[Son of the King]

Best keep our eyes open as we give chase, its easy to fall in.

[Jubal]

Yeah, these mobile quarries can be an absolute pest when they really go walkabouts like this.

[Son of the King]

I think I saw this one heading west.

[Jubal]

Ah, is that where it went? Onwards, let's follow it!

[Son of the King]

Best be careful though, I hear this thing has a lot of pent up rage.

[Tusky]

I guess we are not talking about an actual quarry then. I forgot what we are chasing, was it something with a pelt?

[Jubal]

A quarry can have pent-up rage! But it probably doesn't have a pelt. And now I need to find a variant starting from that word that's spelt differently to make this a valid post... hm.

[Son of the King]

Presumably the quarry has become anthropomorphised as a result of a magical spell.

[Jubal]

Yeah, when those things spill out of spellbooks they can get anywhere.
