Bendyn

Bendyn nods, "I could use a chance to stretch my legs. This beast is fine in a fight, but hard on the legs when ridden too far."

For Casparan [sblock]Bendyn nods just perceptably at Casparan's suggestion. He keeps an eye out.[/sblock]

November 14, a visitor for lunch

The three riders dismount and stretch out on the ground for a little food and rest. The hill top is pleasant, and the time passes quickly.

Its about time to be moving on when Firaxis pops into Bendyn's thoughts:

Spoiler

Yo boss. You might want to warn Casparan to look to his bag.

Bendyn turns round in time to see a sizable rodent of some sort push its head into Casparan's bag. Casparan, however, has just seen it for himself.

Casparan

(How Sizeable?)

Casparan starts at the sight of the rodent. If not much larger than a regular rat, he picks up his pack either to keep it from the creature or to shake it out if it is already in. If it is dog-size or to small child-size, he kicks at it to drive it away. Any larger and he forms his mind blade and makes ready to defend himself.

Bendyn

"What have we here. A most curious sight indeed, are such creatures common here and more importantly are they dangerous?"

OOC DM:
[sblock]Uh... are such creatures common here and more importantly are they dangerous? [/sblock]

November 14, something is ferreting around in the bag.

Jack recognises the animal almost immediately. Bendyn does a moment later.

Jack and Bendyn: [sblock]It's a ferret (weasel). These little mammals (tiny animal) are aggressive predators but usually confine themselves to smaller prey. If a ferret hits with a bite attack, it uses its powerful jaws to latch onto the opponent’s body and automatically deals bite damage each round it remains attached.[/sblock]

Casparan grabs the pack, pulling it away. The small creature falls out of the opening, dragging a number of days (chewed) rations after it. It lands lightly, and the fur along its back bristles and it makes angry noises.

ooc: Initiative determined. Anyone know what sort of noises a ferret makes?

DM OOC:
[sblock]Does anyone at the village have a ferret familiar? In particular, Ma's niece?[/sblock]

 

[doghead]

ooc: What a wonder the internet is.

The ferret hisses.

Jack: [sblock]Yes, but its a different colour. Hers is a sable, while this one is definately a champagne.[/sblock]

 

[Sado]

Casparan

"Well," he says, sizing up the small creature. "What have we here?"

He reaches into his pack, finds a small piece of food that appears to have been chewed, and tosses it to the animal.

"Don't hurt me, little one!" he laughs.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Jack: [sblock]Yes, but its a different colour. Hers is a sable, while this one is definately a champagne.[/sblock]

DM:
[sblock]Hmm. Is there any way of telling a familiar from a normal animal? Knowledge (Nature)? Or any way of telling if this is a sable ferret disguised as a champagne ferret?

... or am I chasing a complete red herring?[/sblock]
