Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos" data-source="post: 2208441" data-attributes="member: 16668">As the manticore's death cry faded away, the deep silence in the wooded hollow felt strangely.. heavy. His heart racing from the adrenaline, Horsom drew another arrow and made his way carefully towards the corpse of the beast. As he approached, he noted that the manticore's wounds no longer flowed as freely and its sides no longer heaved with indrawn breath: the creature was truly dead. He returned his arrow to its quiver.The elven tracker's wounds appeared just as severe as Horsom had feared. He hoped that the acorn faerie's charm would protect him against any poison that the spikes might bear. He wasn't overly worried about the elf, though; there were enough priests here to heal an army! He approached Selanil and Dain. "Bravely done, Selanil. A fantastic strike." He looked over at the corpse once more. "We should bring back a trophy.. proof of our deed. If we remove its head, we can wrap it and load it in the back of the cart. The horses will probably balk at the smell of blood, but I've been breaking horses since I was a young lad, so I should be able to convince them to do the job." He drew his axe and carefully stepped towards the beast. Strangely, the thing looked far less fearsome in death. His natural curiosity had him taking mental notes about the beast's size and features: the length of its claws, the span of its wings, the colour of its eyes.OOC: Horsom is carefully looking over the beast before he cuts its head off (this gives the others time to react if they object). He makes a Search check (+1 modifier) to notice anything odd about the manticore. I don't know what I'm looking for.. a tattoo? A collar? A gem embedded in its forehead? A mood ring on one of its toes (I bet its black)?</blockquote>
