Re: To the Fish Market
In reply to Zale Morcant (msg # 84):
During the day, Kozibi and Bellinha, you notice that your group is being watched. A young girl is keeping an eye on the four of you. She isn't following you per se. But as you make your rounds, she seems to pop up. Behind a bush or at the corner of the manor house.
You see her with some of the village women a couple of times. You even make eye contact. But if you approach her, she scurries off.
Whatever is going on inside, the horse in there is not a fan of it. It's neighing in a high panicked state. Another horse in there sounds like it's freaking out as well.
As you peek in through the doors, you can see the issue.
The barn has two stalls, with a horse in each stall. One of the stall doors is open and a large hairy thing is standing by one of the horses, it's thick arms wrapped around the horse's neck. There's a slurping sound and the horse is trying to buck it off.
The other horse, smelling blood, is going crazy.
As far as the hairy thing...well it's a bugbear who's seen better days. There are holes in it's back and neck, showing that at some point it had been wounded enough that it couldn't survive.
And apparently it's back from the grave, just all kinds of anxious for it's pound of horse flesh.
Undead Bugbear is noshing on the neck of a horse. It has not noticed any of you.
Yet.
