What's this fucker's deal?
Approach cautiously, taking an interest in the creature's fabulous markings. Could they be a map? Is the beast friendly? Is it a he or a her? A magical Spell of Speaking will sort this out.
Approach incautiously, waving your arms and yelling and threatening all kinds of sorcerous retribution. Perhaps it witnessed your annihilation of the settlement; it must be dealt with before it can tell Barnabus of your lies.
Don't approach at all. Leave the creature alone and travel in a random direction, seeking signs of the scargoyles elsewhere. You're on an important quest, here.
Stand your ground. Perhaps the newcomer will make the first move. You'll be ready to react, no matter what.
