Trutharchivist Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Quote All right, here goes nothing... Hope I won't mess it up. A bird of prey ascended from the sky, landing on the windowsill and scanning the apartment's inhabitants. It's stare appeared to linger on the phoenix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadence stepped closer to the window, flames flickering inquisitively. 18 hours ago, Channelknight Fadran said: Cassander didn't let up that he'd noticed the bird, but he did take out his blade to clean. The bird - a falcon, specifically - tried to hop behind the window, but found that it couldn't. It then screeched and flapped its wings. Realizing that it's useless, it stopped and shook its head. Quote He can't talk while in bird form, which can be somewhat problematic in this case. Edit: I just checked, and it's night right now. So it should be very weird for a falcon to be around - it's clearly magical. And all the monsters you previously feared were night monsters (like our friend Kreshnik), and so, everybody but Kreshnik should be able to go out safely during daylight. Also, some monsters should probably return in spite of Cassander's effort, I think. Anyway, you're not really under siege! It's fine! Just, you really should've chosen a better place to put up protections in, so moving to somewhere else should be a good idea.

Wikipedia says it's a bird. Britannica says it's a bird. Even Swarthmore College Bulletin, whatever that is, did an entire study on the history of the phoenix and all the way through it's a bird- I'm very curious where you learned about this version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
