Quote: This enemy can be fought solo! A lone bird spots you and glides in to attack. As you get close to it, you notice that while it's the size and rough shape of an eagle, it's not at all natural: its beak is made of bronze and its feathers are metallic and razor sharp. It attacks by launching feathers at you, or flinging its poisonous dung. Hit points: 25 Damage: 5 each time attacked If you successfully kill this bird, each party involved in the battle gets 10XP and rolls 1d100 to collect loot according to the following: 1-80: You gain nothing but the victory of having beaten this opponent. 81-90: Poisonous Dung: You manage to collect a vial of the vile stuff. It can thrown at an opponent once to poison them, dealing 1 damage for 3 turns. After this it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever. 91-99: Heart's Blood: You manage to collect a vial of the creature's blood. It can be used once to replenish 3 HP, at which point it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever. 100: Metal Feather: Once per battle, you can backstab with this small dagger. Add 2 to your final damage. This item is reusable, and remains in your inventory.

The birds were beginning to thin.
It only made sense after how many they'd all been killing, but it was still strange to see, the clear, blue, daytime sky nearly completely devoid of shining, angry creatures. Zan was rather smug following a successful rescue and the defeat of a rather large mob of the beasts, and he was out for a walk this morning—a walk, like this was a regular day at a regular hotel—when he found it. A downed bird, lying on its back in the snow.

It was clearly quite injured, missing most of a wing and a couple of talons, but it still hissed at Zan as he passed, prompting him to pause. He chuckled.
"Looking for a fight?"

Zan wasn't a cruel man, but he could occasionally hold a grudge, and he definitely had one with these birds. He circled this one, keeping his eyes on it as it continued to alternately draw breath and hiss, as if it could strike him down through spite alone.
He got a little closer on a whim, gently pressing the toe of his boot into the side of its neck.

It was a mistake.
Zan's eyes went wide as the bird used its remaining strength to lever itself upright and attack, wings buffeting him a few steps away. He retaliated as quickly as possible, landing a strong strike on the bird that felled it once more, this time for good.

It was the last bird he would kill here, but Zan didn't know that. He frowned at its unmoving form, looked around for witnesses, and kicked it for good measure before turning back to the hotel.
