Pharast 13th – The Tash, The Breasts and The Stoned Pecker

During the night Kyrander wakes up noticing that Miro hadn’t woken him to swap watches, worried the ranger rushes to his feet and races to Miro only to find that the rogue fast asleep but the stranger thing that the ranger couldn’t help but snigger at was that something or someone had used some berry juice to draw a moustache on the rogues face.

In the morning Vaneer also finds that someone had used the same berry juice to drawn breasts on his breast plate.

After both Vaneer and Miro had cleaned themselves up the group headed west again, where they came upon a number of strange looking rock formations where some could almost be mistakenly took for carving of animals.

The group continue to head west and come across an old and overgrown burial mound, they investigate the mound and decide that considering the items the body had been buried with meant this person was of some importance and possibly belonged to one of the northern barbarian clans. 

The majority of the group decided to remove any items of value from the burial site although Vaneer voiced his concern about performing such act, Vaneer insisted that at least the group could do in return for the items looted was to help rebuild the mound to allow the body to rest in further peace.

As the group are rebuilding the mound everyone apart from Vaneer heard a rustle from the bushes nearby and so was ready for when a hideous avian creature appeared with a body of an emaciated rooster, wings like a bat and a long scaly tail.

In the moment before Otto uses his wand of magic missile to start the fray, Natalia realises that the creature they are facing is known as a cockatrice and that the group need to avoid being pecked by the creature or risk being turned to stone.

The group follows Natalia’s advice and tries their best to keep the attacks at the cockatrice at a range but the cockatrice charged at Kyrander and pecked hard at the ranger but luckily the ranger wasn’t turned into stone.

The fight was short and finished with Natalia throwing her dagger at the creature and lodging it into the creature’s chest killing it without any stoning incidents.

The group then decide to the south east and as they walk up a hill a couple of the members spot in the distance what appears to be a lone unicorn running south. At that point the group decide to set up camp for the evening.
