Yesterday evening I thought I would complete the easy task of acquiring feathers from stone harpies.
Well it turned out to be a lesson for me of the virtue humility. Well I thought the very home of the harpies in Ilshenar would be a perfect place to get those feathers.
And again it always pays to be prepared for any mission or quest. As I was force marching towards the harpy nest I suddenly realized I forgot to take a blade with me to cut out the feathers!
*politely asks a bone knight for a blade*
Well after the bone knight was so kind giving me a blade, I managed to slay a stone harpy easily only realizing it was not so easy getting the feathers.
The stone harpy children trying to prevent me of getting their mothers feathers
Well I did manage to get the feathers but then from the distance I noticed a strange glow.
How surprised I was and how fortunate! A golden stone harpy! this one should really nice feathers. But my test in prepareness and humility continued.
With strickeness I noticed I was down to 30 bolts! How paradox to fight this mighty creature for his feathers that would make fine hard bolts and to realize I was almost out of ammunition.
While this creature was tearing up my armor to reach the soft human flesh and me praying for every shot I fired wont miss, I suddenly got an answer to my prayers.
Out of nowwhere appeared a group of Pixies lead by Os!
Together we did slay the golden colored Harpy. With gratitude and bleading wounds I thanked these little fairy's
With the blade the bone knight kindly gave me I cut out the feathers
To end this story I was a bit surprised what greeted me when I came to the barracks!
All in all I managed to get the 300 feathers from stone Harpy and 50 feathers from from this one Harpy that was visiting our barracks
