Skara Brae, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – November 11, 2011 – by Ashlynn – This evening a large group of volunteers made their way to the Ranger’s Guild in Skara Brae to aid the guild master in dealing with a few issues it was said he was beset by. All were expecting serpent’s harassing the coast, or perhaps bandits in the woods on the mainland but instead the problem was more fowl in nature.
After watching a spectacle that involved a junior member of the guild being dressed down by his superior before quitting entirely, we were told of a problem on the mainland. A terrible occurrence where large plump turkeys were becoming aggressive and turning on their human owners before escaping! This would not do! We wood need to take to the woods and hunt them down, preferably with bow and bodkin.
For those of us not particularly skilled at shooting an arrow, the master made some guild supplies available to us – bows of turkey smiting. These fine bows came with arrows that seemed to seek out their foe for us, making the act of shooting an easy matter. Unfortunately, the magic in the bows was quite destructive and would consume the bows after a while so they would need to be used as soon as possible.
With such a large hunting party, taking care of the troublesome turkey’s was quite easy, but tracking them down was more difficult. We did eventually find all of them and after they were dealt with, we returned to the ranger’s guildhall where we were thanked for our service. With another guild in distress rendered aid, we all parted company for the night, though a few folk inquired about keeping the bows.
