CAWWWWWWW!!!!!! . . . . . .Only moments later, the group has made it to the midpoint of the cage. One of the winged creatures turns its head and sees you all. Just as Jonas and Cruenditahs are putting together what the thing is, it cackles with a certain amount of delight and runs along the edge of the cage until it is as close as it can get to the group, and begins screeching and generally carrying on. It has the head, wings and talons of an eagle and the body of a great cat, perhaps a lion. Finally seeing it fully, Mystie realizes what she is seeing as well. Soon, the other standing beast joins the first one, and the noise they produce becomes rather irritating.Although riders might be impressed by the creatures, horses and ponies have a somewhat different reaction. The ponies and Midnight all noticeably tense up as the beast approaches. Myrtle and Rawhide keep a wary eye on the beasts, but seem less daunted. Bubba, feeling a combination of threat and irritation, barks back.The third winged beast doesn't join the fray, but remains laying on the ground where he started.[sblock=Everyone]Midnight and the ponies will need their riders' full attention to keep from risking the mount bolting. (I'll let you know the Ride DC if you try any action other than 'keep mount under control and moving ahead.') Rawhide (Dunkel), Myrtle (Jonas) and Bubba (Mystie) can be fully controlled as per normal and the rider may make other actions.[sblock=Cruendithas, Jonas, Mystie]Yep, they're Griffins. The only thing that determined how quickly you realized it was perception rolls: it was hard to make them out with the bars at the angle they were at first. (I rolled for Cruendithas and Mystie, and used Jonas' supplied roll.) They're quite intelligent, and they love to eat horses. Quite a convenient thing when you live in a stable. Horses, for their part, don't much like Griffins, who they see as natural predators, triggering fight or flight.[/sblock][/sblock]</blockquote>
