 Bluk made a happy sound as it considered its surroundings! It snatched an old, wet sausage floating by with a single swipe of its tongue and cheerfully chewed on the morsel. It opened its maw as wide as it could and tried to fit itself over the Delicious Treat Pipe, but alas. The pipe was too big. But the young garbage whelp didn't let that trifling fact get it down, it swam upstream, to find the source of the Treats. Lair: A Explore: MOVE NE

Bee Bonk posted:You're free to submit a hatchling if you like, but no new dragons will hatch until an egg is put into play via brooding or events. Nice. Placeholder submission for the next available hatching: Name: Leng Starting Zone: The Mirrormere Bloodline Element: The Horror Cosmic Reject Bloodwisdom: Yes Bee Bonk posted:In the meantime, every Event Phase will have at least one public option for Rogue Elements to alter the world, with the opportunity to bring human/beastfolk/adventurer entities into play. Gotcha, will watch this space and see where I can 'hop-in'!

 12 - SPRYGG, Rank 0 Fey Hatchling There was a warm place. It's gone now. Something broke, splitting the sky asunder, shattering the beatific perfection of obliviousness contained within eternal slumber. With increasing awareness of the massive world around her, Sprygg realized the urgency of hunger and the desperate fear of exposure. The Bloodwisdom dictated to her that the game of life was eat or be eaten, and Sprygg desperately wanted to live. Part of living meant knowing when to pick one's battles. Size was usually the best indicator of danger, but there were other signs and factors that one must always watch out for... Sprygg's tufted ears pricked up at the sound of tiny chiming bells tinkling in her mind. Her senses - though they were still developing - were alert, and her tiny, barely cognizant thoughts were now racing. Her heart was pounding and she wanted to breathe normally but she also didn't want to freeze up entirely after hearing such a strange noise. What approached that could make such a sound? Sprygg sniffed the air, flaring her tiny nostrils. The fey dragon hatchling realized she didn't know what it could possibly be, and she didn't like it! Sprygg bolted from the rubble of the ruined statuary and weaved between the vine-choked marble colossi that lined her path, scrambling on all fours past the crumbling homunculi in a slippery serpentine slide. > B~ Slither away as quickly as you can. > Move southeast.

 1 – FLEX, Rank 0 Strength Hatchling As the whispers of the Great Muscles Past faded from his mind, Flex exalted in his victory over the Egg. It had been hard, and it left him hungry, but if there was one thing Flex knew with certainty, it's that there was no gain without pain. But something was wrong. Incomplete. Flex stretched carefully as he pondered the problem, snacking on a bug that happened to walk over his snout. The Great Muscles Past spoke no more. He would have to trust his own muscles to think it through, going back over all he could remember. One long heave against the eggshell. Then rest. Another long heave. Cracking. A breakthrough. Of course! It was so simple. Flex got to his feet and braced himself against the walls of the log. He still had a set left to do! LAIR: B MOVE: NORTH

  1 – FLEX, Rank 0 Strength Hatchling The hatchling wriggles and flexes their body, trying to puff up and break free of the log by sheer strength and mass. +Body trait: Muscular. +1 Power! Smashing out of a punky log is perhaps a minor victory, but it is a first step along the road to ultimate power!  2-GUY, Rank 0 Flavor Hatchling The stony shell is a long way from flavor country, but it has a certain chalky charm, once GUY gets used to having their mouth lacerated. It certainly gives their jaw a workout! +Head trait: Strong Jaw. +1 Power! Their erstwhile home sitting like a rock in their belly, the hatchling is now free to pursue broader culinary horizons.  3-HOD, Rank 0 Holy Hatchling Shaking albumen from their wing membranes, HOD flaps into the sky. Immediately, their keen eyes hone in on the smallest of creatures creeping far below! +Head trait: Sharp Eyes. +1 initiative! A quick meal of a hapless rock vole, and HOD is feeling blessed!  4-BLUK, Rank 0 Garbage Hatchling Hungry for more trash sausage, the hatchling drags itself upstream, struggling against the flow of the fouled water. +Wings trait: Claws. +1 Power! Sharp talons on their wing joints find purchase in the corroded pipe, and BLUK finds the promise of tasty garbage lends strength to their tiny body.  5-CHAD, Rank 0 Plutonium Hatchling Quick as alpha decay, CHAD slithers up the stovepipe, finding their malleable hatchling body compacting to compensate for the tight confines Body trait added: Streamline. +1 Speed! Before anyone downstairs is any the wiser, the young dragon clambers free of the flue, to the freedom of Val-Scirra's rooftops!  6-OZ, Rank 0 Radiance Hatchling In a spray of ore gravel, OZ charges out from under the cart, challenging the small gang of surprised Cacklers currently loafing around outside the mine. With an leering chuckle, one of the beastfolk tries to grab the small dragon, but a swipe of OZ's surprisingly dangerous tail sends it hopping back, clutching a mangled arm. Tail trait added: Spikes. +1 Power! The other Cacklers seem to find this hysterical, and descend into a frenzy of unhinged laughter for long enough for OZ to scamper to safety.  7-FI, Rank 0 Storm Hatchling The fishers shout among themselves, each exhorting the other to deal with the strange, vicious serpent currently hissing and writhing upon the deck. A certain of their number, either enterprising or desperate, begins picking up and hurling anything at hand at the creature. +1 Hoard! Under a barrage of fish, buckets, billhooks and...what appears to be a valuable navigational instrument of some kind, FI takes to the waves. Their loss is FI's gain!  8-LLRYCH, Rank 0 Change Hatchling Seizing the initiative, LLRYCH lets go of the walls of their rocky shelter and tumbles out into the open air! Tail trait added: Fins. +1 Speed! There is a moment of vertigo as they struggle to master the control of their new body and to overcome burgeoning panic, but a few stabilizing flicks of wing and tail find them sailing the air currents as if born to it (because they were!)  9-SYN, Rank 0 Parasite Hatchling Defying convention wisdom, SYN inhales the entire clutch of eggs in a fit of gluttony, stashing them in pouches heretofor unknown to them, before (with difficulty) wriggling away. +Neck trait: Sacs. When the nest is finally torn open, the ovivorous beast is quite confused to find nothing but shells and disappointment.  10-LANG, Rank 0 Lethargy Hatchling In no hurry, LANG stretches languidly, vertebrae popping and cracking for an alarmingly long time! +Neck trait: Lengthen. After a nice break, the young dragon discovers their height might allow them to see quite a bit more of their surroundings, but that seems like an awful imposition on their schedule.  11-KARL, Rank 0 Communism Hatchling "What's all that faff got to do wif' me? "Ye rotate your crops, right?" "Aye, what of it?" "Ye ken tha' times change. Needs change. Challenges appear. Preservin' our way o' life in the face o' tyranny, like drought or blight, requires new responses, an' that means collective action." "Yer manure cart's well full, Lod." +Horn trait: Antennae. +1 Initiative! Chatter fills KARL's head, and it's all they can do to filter out the most inane of it.  12-SPRYGG, Rank 0 Fey Hatchling Ancestral dreads spur the hatchling to flee, their sleek body slicing swiftly through the undergrowth. Body trait added: Streamline. +1 Speed! They dare not deal with such creatures without a stronger bargaining position, and for that, they must grow in power.  13-ZIN, Rank 0 Wind Hatchling The hatchling does not surrender to the wind; they are the wind. Their body cuts the air like a scaly, shrieking knife. +Body trait: Streamline. +1 Speed! From this lofty height, all the lands and every creature upon them seem insignificant.  14-SEEK, Rank 0 Prophecy Hatchling The hatchling cannot speak the truth of all, but they know this much: They do not die today. When the wetland terror thrusts its toothy snout into the mangrove, it finds only luckless crayfish. +Tail trait: Fins. +1 Speed! SEEK dives deep into the brackish murk, finned tail slicing water effortlessly. A cluster of water lilies provides shelter and sustenance, and the hatchling's mind soon returns to more ethereal matters.  15-BURR, Rank 0 Fur Hatchling No sense wasting food; some protein should put hair on BURR's chest! Horns changed: Mane. -1 Speed! In fact, they can already feel it working! They're bloated with goat meat and their profile presents more wind resistance than before, but at least they're warm!  16-GOL, Rank 0 Resilience Hatchling Instead of fleeing like some lizard from the sun's glare, GOL instead takes strength from it. +Head trait: Armor. +1 Armor! They remain unmolested; it would seem no foes have any desire to brave the forbidding elements, and in fact find that the hard scutes covering their head have cured; hardening significantly!  17-KA, Rank 0 Hate Hatchling With all the ferocity their tiny body can muster, KA snarls and lunges at the hulking beast, smashing into one elephantine leg with surprising force. Horn trait added: Enlarge. +1 Fear! The armored hulk of a beast seems taken aback and unsettled by the tiny creature's ferocity, and takes a few thunderous steps away before continuing to sift through ash drifts with its great tusks.  18-KHR , Rank 0 Crystal Hatchling Squeezing muscles they only instinctually knew they have, KHR, wiggles their flashing bioluminescent lure in what they hope is a friendly gesture! Head traits added: Lure. +1 initiative! The fish don't react quite as hoped; the light show appears to stun them! With a rippling shrug, KHR gobbles up the unexpected fishy feast and swims on.   Initiative posted:GM rolls 1d6+modifiers at the beginning of an encounter. 1 – FLEX, Rank 0 Strength Hatchling [Forest] The lunar conjunction can have a strange effect on creatures other than dragons... Initiative...5! Enemy is surprised!  2-GUY, Rank 0 Flavor Hatchling [Forest] The lunar conjunction can have a strange effect on creatures other than dragons... Initiative...2! GUY is surprised! 3-HOD, Rank 0 Holy Hatchling [Mountains] The mountains are serene in their way, but dangers lurk for the unwary!  4-BLUK, Rank 0 Garbage Hatchling [City] Sifting through a rank midden for choice morsels, the hatchling finds they're not alone. One of the unassuming taterlings, no stranger to the dark undercity, sees BLUK slithering through the trash and mounts a panicked defense of its haul! Initiative...1! BLUK is surprised!  5-CHAD, Rank 0 Plutonium Hatchling [City] The rooftops are peaceful; CHAD has a moment to reflect and explore.  6-OZ, Rank 0 Radiance Hatchling [Broken Land/Mine] OZ finds an old mine that promises shelter and refuge, but a hooting pack of Beastfolk seem to have other plans! Initiative...4! Normal encounter.   Icons posted:A Lair's Defense Rating is the base Target Number for an enemy raid to succeed (if Claimed). 7-FI, Rank 0 Storm Hatchling [Water] The hatchling finds these coastal waters teeming with life!  8-LLRYCH, Rank 0 Change Hatchling [Mountains/Mine] Gliding through the mountains, LLRYCH's keen eyes spot an old mine that could provide a wonderful refuge for a growing dragon. As they move to investigate, however, a terrible rumbling in the stone heralds the arrival of an equally terrible beast! Initiative...6! Enemy surprised!  Icons posted:Cragworm's Trap icon means that your dragon may not leave the hex until the enemy is defeated! 9-SYN, Rank 0 Parasite Hatchling [Marsh] Waddling with a round belly full of egg goop, SYN stumbles upon a fairy mushroom rancher tending their herd. The strange creature lets out an unintelligible honk of dismay and turns to attack! Initiative...6! Enemy is surprised!  10-LANG, Rank 0 Lethargy Hatchling [Marsh/Creek] The lazily-drifting creek sings to LANG's spirit. Unfortunately, one of the denizens is entirely less chill! Initiative...1! LANG is surprised!  11-KARL, Rank 0 Communism Hatchling [city] Idleness, wealth, and lack of empathy have created a class of individuals quite willing to test their blade's edge on the less fortunate...or on vermin like KARL! Initiative...6! Enemy is surprised!  12-SPRYGG, Rank 0 Fey Hatchling [Forest] Slithering away from a near encounter with mystical danger, the hatchling stumbles upon on one of the wretched grubfolk! SPRYGG's ancestral memory suggests that such creatures are inveterate merchants and tend to stockpile gold, due to their cultural belief that they are the larval form of dragons. The creature sees SPRYGG, and immediately moves to remove the challenge to its worldview! Initiative...2! Sprygg is surprised!  13-ZIN, Rank 0 Wind Hatchling [Mountains] For a time, ZIN is a solitary speck atop the vault of the world, buoyed by stiff winds and lofty thoughts. 14-SEEK, Rank 0 Prophecy Hatchling [Swamp] Much as SEEK can part the mists of the future, so can the predators of this land pierce the murkiest of water in search of prey. A great Puggler wriggles up from the mud, to snatch a new meal! Initiative...1! SEEK is surprised!  15-BURR, Rank 0 Fur Hatchling [Snowy Mountains] As their goat digests, BURR has a chance to digest the recent developments in their life (which, given their age, is all of them). 16-GOL, Rank 0 Resilience Hatchling [Badlands] Scuttling boldly across the parched and broken landscape, GOL encounters no living enemies, but the cruelty of the environment may present its own antagonism!  17-KA, Rank 0 Hate Hatchling [Deadwood] Flush with victory, KA scuttles off into the petrified forest, but is beset by a flock of sinister carrion birds! Initiative...1! KA is surprised!  Icons posted:The crebain's Steal icon means that in addition to damage, a failed attack results in the loss of 1 Hoard! 18-KHR , Rank 0 Crystal Hatchling [Deep Water/Shipwreck] The old forgotten shipwreck would make an excellent haven. Unfortunately, KHR is not the only one with that idea! With an angry squelch, a territorial OCTOGEL attacks! Initiative...6! Enemy is surprised!   Icons posted:Octogel's Trap icon means that your dragon may not leave the hex until the enemy is defeated! Bee Bonk fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Aug 20, 2019 |

6-OZ, Rank 0 Radiance Hatchling Oz puffs himself up. How dare these things stand between him and his home? Can their oversized eyes not see his glory? The little drake charges forward nipping at the lead owler's ankles until the creature stumbles to the ground. Oz whirls, his lovely tail whipping around the beastfolk's neck. Its dismayed hoooo is cut short as Oz tugs his tail away in an explosion of red. The others scatter. Power attack: 2d6+5 12 Oz stands over the body, breathing hard, for several long moments. Finally he turns his head, staring at the beckoning darkness of the mine. It promises safety and a place for his light to shine.

18-KHR , Rank 0 Crystal Hatchling An Octogel rummages through Khrs wreck, likely looking to make the ship its nest. But unbeknowst to the beast, Khr is at this very moment pretending to be a harmless oarfish, looking for an opportune moment to strike! Speed Test vs Octagel: 2d6+5 17 It was over before it even really began. As the Octogel turned its back on Khr to lazily float over some broken debris, the swift whelp suddenly shot through the water as a bolt of lightning, impaling the beast on shredded pieces of rotten wood. Now, nothing stood between Khr and its place as the rightful ruler of this lair!

19-LANG, Rank 0 Lethargy Hatchling Hmm, this creature was being very rude, but fighting it off would just be exhausting. It was then that Lang noticed the Goosen's neck, before the hatchling twisted his head in order to look at his own neck. Turning beck to the bird, Lang gives a very slight and smug smirk. His neck was longer, so that meant he won, right? Why else would the Goosen be so rude other than petty jealousy and envy? Well, either way, time for a nap. Use Superior Neck Length to Dominate Goosen: 2d6 9

9-SYN, Rank 0 Parasite Hatchling The first sign that something is amiss on the farm is an excited and plaintive whining. The shroomfolk turns to find the hatchling startling close, jaws slavering, haunches compressed like a spring, tail wagging. It gets off a lone honk before its head is engulfed. Syn discovers to its consternation that the creature is too big to swallow whole. Disaster. This was the worst thing that had ever happened to Syn. The hatchling begins to hyperventilate. Only as the first morsel is finally peeled away by its baby teeth and swallowed does it begin to calm down. Speed attack vs Polevik (TN 7): 2d6+3 9

Seek bristled at the creature, which had accosted him without warning him first. When the puggler flinched as it approached, maw wide, Seek commited. He would send this fish fleeing to the murk whence it came! Dominating the puggler! TN 6: 2d6 12

12 - SPRYGG, Rank 0 Fey Hatchling Speed: 4 Power: 2 Hoard: 0 Fear: 0 Armor: 0 Wounds: 0/3 Thralls: 0 Destiny: none Lair: none Artifacts: none Exploration: After an exhausting time spent slipping and weaving through the thick undergrowth in her sleek and slender form, all longing thoughts of the warm and earthy place she'd once hatched from slowly retreated from the forefront of Sprygg's mind. Her entire remembered existence thus far in the world had been spent in fearful flight from an unknown threat, and so Sprygg continued to run just to be absolutely certain that she was safe. The fey dragon hatchling would have no immediate need to return to the statuary of her birthplace - not in her current state at least, not so long as the place was crawling with... whatever it was that made that chiming ring in her ears. Sprygg pressed her tufted ears back as she slunk through the brush, listening intently for the sounds of any pursuers. Just thinking of those strange tinkling tones from before set Sprygg's mind towards thinking all sorts of strange ideas, bringing up colorful ancestral memories of magical enchantments that splashed briefly across her mind's eye like half-finished paintings. She continued running her course, if only to give herself something strenuous to do with her body to help keep her mind off the matter of fear. First and foremost, Sprygg had to find herself a lair! Just as she had hurriedly twisted her way out of a tangled thicket of brush, Sprygg suddenly found herself staring face to face with a small-but-smart bugling: a Gubbin. Sprygg froze in place, sitting stock-still as she stared down at the diminutive beastfolk squarely in its black, beady eyes. Sprygg's bright, glistening eyes betrayed her surprise - she'd been discovered by this Gubbin with her guard down! The boisterous red-headed grub-person stood up on its prolegs and waved a lustrous metal scepter in its foreclaw before charging straight at her! > Dominate Attack vs Gubbin (TN: 4): 2d6 6 - Success! If possible, Sprygg Coerces Tribute from the Gubbin! Sprygg reared up on her hind quarters and puffed up her tail as she lashed it about behind her. She bared her fangs and readied her claws and stared straight into the Gubbin's eyes, commanding her lowly adversary to halt in its tracks.

1 – FLEX, Rank 0 Strength Hatchling Everything was just so exciting out here. There was just such a wealth of possibilities! Back in the egg, isometric exercise had been about the extent of what was possible. But here there were trees for pull-ups, fallen branches to bench, boulders for... well, boulders for worming towards as a long term goal. Too much weight could lead to joint injuries, after all. It was in his search for a proper branch for some moonlit squats that Flex happened on a pair of large, meaty squirrels, viciously eviscerating the corpse of a rabbit. It was... they were... They were the perfect size and shape! Flex surged forward, snagging a squirrel in each claw before they had a chance to react. They struggled to free themselves, to bite and rend his flesh, to find breath, but his grip was just too strong. As he began his routine--three sets of twenty squirrel curls per arm--his prey slowly expired. Which was just as well. A post workout protein snack was just what he needed! CURL those squirrels!

11 Karl - Rank 0 Communism Hatchling Karl listened intently to the workers' talk of collective action. There was something for him to work with here, but it would have to wait for now. He slithered away, moving deeper into the city. After a following several twisting and turning city streets, he had made his way into the city centre, where the lazy nobility had set themselves up. One of their useless number had decided to arm up and look for some serfs to bully, and now he was stalking the streets. Unaware that he was being watched from above, he made his way into another side street, where Karl finally made his move. Jumping down from his ledge, he landed on the fop's back and began making a ruckus. The young man, weak from his pampered upbringing, immediately shrieked and bolted, leaving only a small puddle of stinking liquid behind. Satisfied, Karl began preening, the first blow against the oppressive system had been struck. Dominate the Bravo: 2d6 7

You have but to give me a good lick, and your problems will melt away." "I have a wagon to repair," the tinker grouses. "This is hardly the time to get sideways on toad squeezings!"

"You wants manticore results," The Tallest Child retorts, "you pays manticore money. For a loaf o' brown and some bad language, you gets dis ting.

"It worked?" gapes some kind of hume, blinking at CHAD against the smoke. "You were supposed to summon an actuary daemon," observes a taller, hairer hume, "not this...vaguely animate chicken neck."

Barely audible over the storm, a soaked and panicked shape howls into the wind for some kind of aid. FI... A. Attempts to save the boat and its passengers Wound; +Lair B. Attempts to drag a single passenger to safety. +Fear C. Waits for the boat to sink, then plunders the wreckage. +Hoard 8-LLRYCH, Rank 0 Change Hatchling From a vantage above the entrance to the mine, LLRYCH sees three squat humefolk arguing amongst themselves. "This earth-hole menaces with wyrm-sign and neglectfulness, Tucimtathtak," barks the first, yanking its helmet down over its eyes in irritation. "You posses the unscrupulous map-knowing of a plantfarmer!" "Dehackle thy beardhairs, Kubuk," scoffs the second, holding up a chunk of excreta with obvious relish. "This spoor is infantile in dimensions and lacks the mineral inclusions of an upgrown beastogore." "If our face orbs are doomed to lack exposure to the rockmeats of our birthingright," mutters the third, obsessively fondling a mattock, "a stack of wyrmling wyrm skin would assuage my shame-having with pursuit of upper-tier craftdwarfship." Nodding to themselves, the dwarves array themselves outside the entrace to the mine. LLRYCH... A. Launches a surprise attack! +Fear; New Encounters B. Tries to engineer a rockfall. Wound; +Treasure C. Approaches the dwarves. +Thrall 9-SYN, Rank 0 Parasite Hatchling Piteous blubbering and raspy cackling herald the approach of a naked hume, apparently being ridden through the bog by the shaggy crone perched upon their shoulders. "Faster, you knob," hisses the Witch, digging bony knees into the hume's sides, "lest I alter your visage potato-ward!" "A-bloo-hoo," replies the Wretch, splashing and squashing through the muck. SYN... A. Attempts to follow from a safe distance. B. Approaches the Witch. C. Tries to latch onto the Wretch and take a ride! 10-LANG, Rank 0 Lethargy Hatchling There is a stump. Its lack of motility is inspiring. LANG... A. Lays on the stump. B. Burrows into the roots. C.

Looted local law enforcement. +Lair B. Looted the petty nobility. +Artifact C. Set the hall on fire. +Fear 12-SPRYGG, Rank 0 Fey Hatchling SPRYGG finds a hunter, ensnared by magical vines and tormented by tittering fairies!

Movement; +Lair C. Attempts to steal the Hopper's furs before it dies (This kills the Hopper).

One more strike would be the end of Ka, oh the indignity; to be out-hated by birds! Ugh, at least this groveling peasant left in the murky muck would provide much-needed consolation... A. Attacks the Owler. "Rise, sniveling pleb! You let your kin walk right over you, treating you as dirt? No more!" "You work for ME now, and by my side you'll show those wretches what you really thought of their abuse all these years!" "..." "Can you even understand a word of this, or do you always have that blank, vacant stare?" "..." "Pah, we'll have to work on that. Come along, Tiddlywinks. We've places to be." "...No, you don't get to use your real name. Or a better name. Good names belong to those who earn or take them, and you've done precisely neither. Now do come along, we don't have all day for prattling."

8-LLRYCH, Rank 0 Change Hatchling The previous creature at this dwelling he had launched a surprise attack on. That approach would have to change in the face of this new threat, or potentially new opportunity. Llyrch... C. Approaches the dwarves. Digging deep into Bloodwisdom for the word-kenning, the Change hatchling sought to alter the outcome, shaping sounds before announcing its presence. "Another opportunity. This place I wish to dwell. Yon dead Cragworm mark of my fierce. You want rockmeats? We work together. Safe place for me, safe place for you, much shiny for all, with tooth, claw and metal points together to protect what is ours. Respect my claim, I respect your birthright."

6-OZ, Rank 0 Radiance Hatchling C Oz listens, intrigued. The strange green flames seem to sway in rhythm to the tapping. What interesting visitors to his home! The hatchling gives his marvelous tail a few experimental flicks and then begins tapping back. The tunnels echo with staccato introductions.

 18-KHR , Rank 0 Crystal Hatchling Bloodwisdom might have cautioned the little whelp to smash or eat the eggs. Common dragon sense would have Khr enslave the sleeping children, to rightfully elevate it to Ruler of the Mere, but Khr had neither of these things for it was infused with Crystal Thought. Thus enlightened with clarity of purpose, Khr began to swim amongst the many corpses of the diseased, polishing them with its sleek body, shining them with its lure and pushing them into positions both amusing and in line with the ley, as only a small excitable dragon could see it. C: Feng Shui Those Skeletons!

5 - CHAD Hoard: 1 Chad looked at the two Humes and at the shiny thing. The first was a chump, easily manipulated. The second was powerful, Chad could grow strong living with such a Hume but probably wouldn't have control. The shiny was shiny, but just taking it would probably make them angry. B In the end, a Chad could only be happy in the presence of other Chads.

19-LANG, Rank 0 Lethargy Hatchling Stretches, walking, and scaring off a rude Goosen was far more effort than Lang wanted to spend in one day. Wait, was it still the same day? Eh, didn't really matter, Lang was tired now. Still, just flopping over the stump risked yet another rude encounter waking him up later, and being woken up from a nap is the worst feeling ever. So Lang spends just a little more effort in order to B. Burrow into the roots of the stump, giving him a good-enough shelter to finally take a nap in.

9-SYN, Rank 0 Parasite Hatchling C. Tries to latch onto the Wretch and take a ride! Syn hunches low against the ground as they trail the crone and her mount, approaching from their blind spot. Syn tries to match their speed as it closes the distance. The hatchling launches itself lightly towards the wretch's back, splaying itself in mid-air and trying to wrap itself around the pathetic creature's unoccupied flesh. YESSSSS. This felt right. This felt like a lair. Syn had grown fuzzy on the details since the Bloodwisdom faded, but they thought lairs were supposed to be bigger. Ah well. As the mount tries to reach back at the disturbance Syn wants to growl but its instincts scream to blend in and hide its true nature. Instead it tightens sharp claws against the mount's sides and hopes to be mistaken for the spurring of the crone's sharp knees, giving the mount a poke whenever it misbehaves.
