The village is running low on food and it is up to you to find some steaks and cook them for the village. You are granted exactly one portable spit though you will have to do the hunting yourself.
Right in the outskirts of the village are EVIL HAND TURKEYS. They have 10 HP each, which your character will have to defeat in normal battle combat style (attack with the dice mechanics of your current character until it hits 0 HP). They do -2 auto damage to you every time you hit it. When you have defeated a turkey, you can carve from it, a turkey steak.
Roll 1d10 to cook your steak. If you roll 1-5 your steak is raw, if you roll 6-8 your steak is perfect, if you roll 9-10 you steak is unedible. Only RAW and perfect steaks are allowed.
gaia_star If you acquire a perfect steak, it is considered a quest item. Add it to your quest item list.
Okay, that hadn't quite gone to plan. Leo had set off into the village with the intent to wrestle some help on getting back to Halloween Town from one of the villagers and had, instead, ended up hunting a turkey.
Jack, she was even expected to cook it. She stared at the portable spit with utter despair. She'd never cooked in her life! Great, just great. But the villagers had been weird, evasive and not very friendly at all. Maybe this would soften them up, make them more amenable to helping...?
Well, she could only hope. Her questions sure hadn't gotten her anywhere, so this was probably her best bet.
"Here turkey-turkey-turkey~!" She felt stupid, but surely she got points for trying, at least.

Zar was not a very generous creature by nature, he didn't help anyone if he could strictly avoid it, especially when helping people involved physical effort and potentially messed up clothing. The only exception to this happened to be when this "helping" resulted in being put into contact with frankly delicious live prey. The turkeys they had been sent to find did not seem too complicated and it was simply a matter of polishing them off and field dressing them.
Surely they wouldn't notice a few which did not come back at all, they couldn't expect a creature like Zar to resist the allure of live prey in front of his nose. Cooking food was just a waste.
When he arrived at the place where they'd been sent to hunt, it was with the spit jauntily tucked under one arm, his tail curling behind him. He heard Leo before he saw her and paused, unable to help the grin that spread across his face from ear to ear, uncovering rather plentiful teeth.
"I don't think you are going to catch anything like that you know." he volunteered.

[False wasn't far behind Zar. His attempts in the town to get any kind of information about getting home, getting the bus fixed, or even where they where just got met by questions and requests just as much, now as a result he was walking arou with a spick hunting turkey.
Granted he got to ditch half the cooking equipment once he made it clear Fire wouldn't be an issue.
"The big guys right," added the red headed reaper as he walked past Zar dropping his spit on the ground before trialing his hand through the air a small bundle of flames appearing in his wake before forming a ball of fire in his palm.
"You gota be.... more aggressive!" He turned facing a turkey off to the side flinging the burning ball at it. Of course the wails of agony from the turkey became loud and terrible as a whole horde stormed him down knocking the reaper on his a**.
"S-s**t s**t s**t GET THEM OFF!"

Leo stopped, considered, and realised the boil was probably quite right. What kind of turkey would willingly come to its death? Surely this wasn't the first time creeple had come to kill the turkeys and quite likely it wouldn't be the last.
Besides, she eyed the turkeys in question, they looked quite cunning. "Alright, you have a point."
And then the second boil showcased... well, extreme unluckiness. She only hesitated for a moment before running over, flailing and kicking wildly at the turkey collective, trying to save him.
"Get OFF!" A not particularly solid hit landed on one of the birds, making it skid backwards a few feet. Leo huffed, locked in a staring contest, before the infernal minipet screeched and came at her with beaks and claws. "Ouch!"
She nursed her bitten finger, scowling. Okay, these things were definitely more dangerous than she'd heretofore considered them. "So we just... kill them, right? It doesn't matter how?" She eyed her turkey menacingly, considering how to best go about this.

Zar moved to sleekly shift forms into his much more comfortable and natural shape, sloughing off his pinned form in a ripple of rearranged fear. As he eyed the turkeys in a much more predatory shape it was with a grin that was nothing to do with mirth.
False got a curious look at his arrival and a suppressed hiss of discomfort as he started throwing fire around, the Incubus backing up just a little as he struck one of the unfortunate creature and he was promptly inundated with the things.
"Erm." Zar said, not exactly leaping to the rescue of the other boil. "That is ..very unfortunate. But I am allergic to fire I am afraid."
One of the group which had attacked False broke off and scattered, moving much too close to Zar. Before he even knew what he was doing he had leapt and seized it in his jaws and found himself with an angry and very dishevelled turkey trying to valiantly peck his eyes out.
He hissed irritably and shook it to try and make it stop permanently before nodding encouragingly to Leo.
"awt e'er it 'akes" he said around a mouthful of furious poultry.

Somewhere under the pile ot gobling and flailing birds False shoted out his thanks to the ghol trying to punch him free of his feathery doom. A few punches, kicks, and another small burst of flames he was free again but still pecked and clawed like a chew toy.
"Appologies buddy but as a Pyromance Fire is part of the full package I'll uhh make sure not to point at you?" He looked over to where Zar was and froze.
He got big. LIke. Really big. And teethy. Very teethy.
".... some how I doubt I'm going to do much even if I did try." Turning back to the birds he conjured up another small ball of fire getting ready to toss it only to have the turkey rush him! Ball after ball of flame he flung but the turkey dodged each one before head butting him right in the groin knocking him down again.

"Right," Leo nodded determinedly to the boil with his mouth full of poultry. And then she leapt at her turkey, using her natural ability to make herself heavier and flatten the bird.
At least that was the plan. In reality, the bird made a wheezing sound as she landed on it before desperately scrabbling to get out from under her, clawing at her as it went.
"Oh drat it, I was sure that would work." The minipet was a few paces away from her, rumpled and a bit worse for wear, but nowhere near dead. And she now had a few more angry scratches to add to the collection.

Zar wanted to say that not pointing fire at him would be greatly appreciated, but the turkey situation and trying very hard not to simply swallow the thing himself when he would need to carve it for meat meant that he could say nothing for the moment other than slightly irritable hisses.
All in all though if there was something he was good at, it was dispatching creatures smaller than himself in a hurry. He wasn't exactly a fighter, most of his hunting was surprise and a bit of constriction. You couldn't seduce something as small as a turkey and he had to wonder if there was any room in their tiny bird brains for such a complex concept.
When the mini stopped thrashing and fighting, he promptly dropped it to the ground before his instincts kicked in and placed a huge paw on top of it, spitting out a few feathers with a cough.
"Carving and then cooking time I suppose." he said flicking his tongue as he watched the heat signature fade from the turkey, seemingly selfishly refusing to help poor False in his plight.
There was a dangerous moment though where instead of watching the now dead turkey, Zar's attention flicked to Leo who had shifted shape into a creature which appeared significantly more delicious and alive.

The othe two where very efficent, smashing bids flat. Shaking them about in their jaw like a beast. False was ashamed at his failures! He was a jack-damn mage! A PYRO MAGE!
"SHARPIE!" He slammed a palm on the ground pulling it back, a bubbling pool of ink forming below it as he hauled the cat out of where ever he went when he was flattened. The cat gave a mad cackle as he was tugged free. "Oh so NOW you want me here?" The reaper rolled his eyes, "Shuddup." He took the cat tossing him into the air, the whole ball of fur bursting into flames, the orb floated down as False tried to contain the flame making it bigger bigger bigger.... BOOM!
The burst threw the reaper back bouing head over heels and tumbling into the dirt groaning in agony as the explosion backfired, the blast aimed away from him cut a swath through the dirt and clean past the mini's he was trying to fry.
"H....help..." He mummbled, "T-that went... terrible." He said followed by a fit of coughing as Sharpie wandered back over yowling "MEEEEEDIIICCCCCC!"
"Uhhh..." She noticed one of the others staring at her. "Hey, what's up?" Awkward. Was it just her or did he look kind of... hungry? Leo scooted backwards, trying to look as un-threatening and non-tasty as possible. "I'm really not very edible, honestly."
And the other boil was - well, really very unlucky. Or was it inept at this point? "Are you, er, okay? I'm not a medic or anything, but if you need a hand..." she trailed off, sneaking uneasy glances at the boil who'd looked at her hungrily. It was hard to focus on the Reaper when she had a potential non-turkey threat nearby.
Not that the turkeys weren't terrifying in their own right. The one she'd engaged in battle foolishly wandered near her and seizing the moment, she decisively stomped it. It made a pathetic noise, flapping its wings and biting at her leg - still not dead, but looking much the worse.

Leo mentioning that she wasn't edible was just enough to remind Zar that he had a job to do here and that it was not good to be considering new potential friends as a meal. He looked away. "Ssssorry." he said quietly. "Dissstracted."
He turned his attention patiently back to the turkey, pulling a clump of feathers off of it with his long claws.
Zar didn't understand how to cook meat, he did not eat anything which had stopped moving, it had to be live to trigger his instincts properly. But he intended to try anyway, shifting back to a shape with opposable thumbs after some of the feathers were removed, cutting the creature down to retrieve the meat and setting up his spit.
He retrieved a smouldering stick from False's firestorm and lit his fire, getting it good and burning before he stuck the meat in it.
When he took it out he eyed it. It was supposed to be black right? His flesh and blood were both black, that was the correct colour for a cooked thing right?
"Is this right?" he asked

False slowly sat up where he had landed watching as Zar took to the spit cringing slowly as he sat up. The cat took this time to flop in the reapers lap. "Nah nah not right you've charred it black."
Slowly he stood up dusting himself off ruffling his coat to get it back into place. "You gota start hot. Sear the outside then ya gota slow the heat nice and low. Keeps all the juice inside."
"Oh, no worries." With a relieved grin, Leo relaxed. Anyone who said sorry couldn't be a bad person! "Maybe I over-reacted; I'm a bit on edge from suddenly ending up here, sorry. I was planning a visit to my aunt. Well," she stared into the distance, "this might actually be the better outcome."
At least she didn't have to look at any more of her Auntie's former pets in taxidermy version.
With that uplifting thought, she made to ambush her turkey again, coming at it with another stomp - the thing made an odd noise and bit at her foot. Hissing from the pain of the n**, she stomped again and watched with some satisfaction as the thing died. Okay, satisfaction mixed with regret. She really didn't like to kill things. But if she hadn't done it, someone else would have; this was livestock, after all.
Picking up her dead turkey, she wandered closer to the two boils talking. "Yeah, I'm going to have to agree, that's... really not right I think."
Starting to set up her own cooking equipment, she perked up at the Reaper's mention of how to cook these things, "that's how it's done?" That seemed do-able. "I've never cooked anything before, to be honest. I'm a bit nervous." She laughed, shrugging a bit.
