Wandering Monster: Dire Corby

[demiurge1138]

I used Dire Corbies in my campaign as the nightmare infused and twisted bodies of Avariel Elves that inhabited a cyst under the ground where a Demon General of the Nightmare Realm/Plane of Dreams was imprisoned by a ancient city of winged elves sacrificed themselves in an elaborate ritual.

They leapt off of ledges and spinfly obsidian bridges which cross the cavern to grapple the flying PCs in oder to force them to crash into the sharp obsidian/sickstone floor of the massive cavern.

Awesome. Pure win, right there.

Awesome. Pure win, right there.

I thought so, too!

Alas, my players, ungrateful louts, were dismayed and alarmed by the suicidal bird bombs...and that was before I rolled a successful hit.

Then they really got panicky.

Frankly, Dire Corbies should be the New Big Old Thing in the Underdark!

On the other hand, I am cheering for a race of lunatic flightless birdmen, so really, be careful before agreeing with me.
