giant bird-creature You're fighting a giant bird-creature

You spit on your palms, rub them together, and start climbing. One handhold after another, one foothold after another, your progress up the tower is steady and unflagging. Until suddenly, when you are perhaps halfway up, a deafening screech tears the air.

A gigantic birdlike creature -- neither a giant vulture nor a winged lizard but with aspects of both and a wingspan fully twice as long as Krakrox was tall -- swooped through the air, diving directly at the barbarian. Thinking quickly, Krakrox grabbed the coil of rope from his shoulder and whipped the grappling hook at the beast, leaping away from the wall of the tower as he did so.

The creature squawks and wheels away as the rope circles its neck, but too late to avoid being entangled. You find yourself soaring through the air, dragged through the sky by an angry bird monster. Gritting your teeth, you begin to climb the rope, determined to teach this monster a lesson.

The giant bird-monster gives you a friendly peck on the cheek. Wait, not 'friendly'. What's the word? 'Face-stabbing'? Ouch! Argh! Argh! Argh!

Notes

  • After successfully killing the bird combat terminates with the message:
Uttering a final pained squawk, the bird-lizard-thing crashed into some trees on the edge of the ancient city. Battered but largely unharmed by the rough landing, Krakrox climbed down from the trees and back to the forest floor.
