Invasion: Cockatrice!
This is it, Vertiline! At last the sources of the statues have shown themselves! There is one cockatrice in each town: Eider and Ardel. They are small creatures, a little larger than a rooster, and look half-rotted--like mostly plucked chickens. Despite their small size, they will prove difficult to kill, as merely meeting their eyes is enough to turn any living thing to stone, and yes, this includes those of who are not human!
The good news is, they can be killed. The bad news is, those tricks characters know (the weasel, the rooster crowing, etc) don't work on Vertiline's cockatrices. Oh dear!
Once both cockatrices have been killed, any characters (and any NPCs) who have been turned to stone will revert to normal. Tragically, this also includes the shattered statues. Please try not to knock over any more of them, and try not to knock over any of your companions who may be turned to stone! If a character's statue is shattered, they will die!
When you first tag into a thread, please note in the subject line if you would like your character to be statue-ized or not!
