MONSTER, constancy march

[attr="class","appbody"]

there's a monster in the desert, there's a girl in shara. they met about 4 winters ago. she saw the good in him... and he had no desire to eat or kill her. and they were acquaintances.

thebes is an artist capital. she traveled there those years ago, just a young merchant. orphaned years and years ago. she traveled to make her living, she was living because she traveled. thebes is a strange place. they say it's "solemn," but she saw happiness in the form of hope and art.

how far have you traveled?



he visits her that night. he visits her a lot these days, especially at night. brings her little dead things, then gobbles them up. what he brings, she'll never know, but she does know he brings something, because she wakes up with blood on her apron. he kills many things, and she watches in disbelief.

she'll take him away. it was a mistake to bring him here. so foolish, oh, so foolish was she. but she makes no more mistakes. she wanders through the deserts, she's traveled along the sand so much that it is like the palm of her hand- no, it is like those stains of blood she has seen. she remembers every drop.

monsters don't have homes.






it has a face. that's the first thing you will see, [and sometimes the last]. a constant face, but the rest is a mass of muscle and venom. body of a lion with fur stained blood red, the tail of a scorpion, with precise and defined movement. antlers, those of an antelope or a moose. grand bat wings, three rows of poisonous spines lodged into its back, available for discharge at any given moment. but perhaps the most defining factor- the teeth. there are three rows of them.

sharp. deadly. rotting of flesh, even after so many years.

ENHANCED SENSES/AGILITY-- with a mostly feline build, the manticore has better reflexes, faster and more precise movement, and an enhanced sense of hearing, smell, and sight.

COMBAT CAPABILITIES-- the manticore is a strong opponent. through usage of its spines or its tail it can sometimes poison a foe. its wings have little use in battle, but occasionally it will try its hand with air combat. with its amplified lion muscle, the manticore has a devastating swipe; but a bite is sometimes fatal. watch the teeth.

FLIGHT-- bat wings can carry the manticore for miles, as well as an additional weight if necessary.

water is deadly, water is calm, we don't go near it. no, we don't. we don't like water.

a sword and shield is a winning combo.

when the stars come out-- don't approach.
