[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5837015, member: 14889"] The chick on the edge of the cliff struggles to its feet again, while one of its siblings moves toward Kane, attracted by the sounds he is making. The chick in Noriaki’s hand calms down, lulled by his singing. [b]Pterosaur Wranglin’, Round 6[/b] The long-necked creature swoops past the chick on the edge, knocking it flat with its beak and then devouring it--GULP!--before continuing its flight back around to approach the group again. The other monster bites at Castile but fails to connect. It tries desperately to fly away, but although Castile’s counterattack misses, Takahaan lunges with his sword and strikes it dead. The remaining beast, having gotten one morsel and finding the others out of reach, looks very much inclined to flee. [sblock=actions and rolls][B]Pneckosaur[/B]: standard--flyby attack on chick 4.

[/GM] Sasha manages to coax one of the surviving chicks into a cage, but the other makes an incredible fuss when any attempt is made to separate it from Noriaki, crying in distress, clinging to his robe with its claws, and flapping its little wings. Sasha, smiling, desists from trying to relieve him of the little creature, and proposes heading back to camp. The mother pterosaur that used to occupy this nest seems to have had a great liking for shiny objects; the nest contains several pearly shells and fragments of metal, as well as some more interesting things. There is a fine pendant, depicting a very stylized, complicated knot; a fillet of white gold, the color of Noriaki’s hair; and a set of clothes that seem highly incongruous in this setting--a bustier, some tights, and a pair of elbow-length fingerless gloves, perhaps an outfit that a dancer might wear on a city stage. All the pieces are sewn with tiny, shiny beads, which explains the mother pterosaur’s attraction to them. But when they are brought together, they shimmer and change, merging into each other to become an unremarkable-seeming ringmail corselet.
