Title: Pointed Arrows and Feathered Hats Post by: Mela Arkay on October 16, 2006, 03:04:26 am Larten the hunter stomped his foot in a tantrum as yet another feather on his arrow was ragged coarse. "Those dammed guardsmen couldn't make arrows for the life of them! Burn them all I say." He wailed as he began rummaging through his quiver again.
Good afternoon Lady's and Gents! As you all know we have a fair handful of archers in the Army and also out! We're needing quality feathers and we're needing them fast. Task: Slay a handful of stoneharpys for their tough but beautiful feathers. We require around 20000 of them. Notes: Anyone who can use a weapon may do this task. You may take others to do the task with you. The feathers must be from stone harpys. This doesn't have to be completed by the same person. Feathers are to be put on the pile on the scouts tower's steps. Restrictions:
Task type: Collection based. Collected so far: 550 Scout Corporal, Mela.E.Arkay Title: Re: Pointed Arrows and Feathered Hats Post by: Falconheart on October 19, 2006, 04:42:09 am 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* (http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/3596/boc1ta4.th.jpg) (http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boc1ta4.jpg) 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 (http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/5224/boc2jh2.th.jpg) (http://img154.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boc2jh2.jpg) 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!

With gratitude and bleading wounds I thanked these little fairy's (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/4332/boc4ln9.th.jpg) (http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boc4ln9.jpg) With the blade the bone knight kindly gave me I cut out the feathers (http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/3065/boc5pr0.th.jpg) (http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boc5pr0.jpg) To end this story I was a bit surprised what greeted me when I came to the barracks! (http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/7903/boc6bd0.th.jpg) (http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boc6bd0.jpg) 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 *signed* Guardsman Recruit Falconheart |
