[QUOTE="HolyMan, post: 5531464, member: 84167"] The group is told that through the door on the steps is the barracks of the guard. None are here at the moment as they went with Sefaro. They can use the extra bunks there or make camp where ever they wish. After a long quiet night they all awake and gather once more to speak with Andrax. He sits hold the baby cockatrice once more this time the creature is awake and eating seed from the man's hand. [COLOR=Red] "Doesn't that make your condition worse?" [/COLOR]Anna asks rubbing her arm where she was bit the day before. The stone like area is gone and her flexibility has returned, all that remains is a yellowish bruise that will soon be gone as well. [COLOR=DimGray]<DEX restored>[/COLOR] [COLOR=PaleGreen] "No, no I am immune to it now, as are others of my order."[/COLOR] Andrax says sitting the small bird down and scattering the seed. He rises and walks with a great limp (almost like one leg will not bend) to one of the tables. He notices the looks from the group and then as he mix, checks, and remixes something he speaks.
