Races of Wild

CHAPTER 3RAPTORANS86knows whether the flock is going to carve out a new levelinto the living rock of the cliff face. A leaky cistern is onething, but that amount of excavation will tax the flock’sresources to the utmost. That decision has already draggedout for far too long in debate, primarily because everyoneis now busy whispering about the elves in the area. Of allthe useless nonsense!To make matters worse, the war chief is constantly afterher to make more charcoal to fire the forge for weapons. She’sreminded him several times that you can’t make charcoal tofire the forge in a day, but he doesn’t listen. There isn’t muchmetal anyway, so he’ll have to be content with making bowsand arrows rather than stockpiling foot spikes and swords.Unless, of course, someone else in this community (namelyMiithi, the hunting chief) wants to ask his elf friends if they’lltrade for some more metal.On top of all that, Henesku has been whining that theflock needs extra food stores because everyone looks fatigued.Of course people are tired! Who wouldn’t be from all thatweapon practice?Delembril Vintagil: Female raptoran rogue 2/cleric 6;CR 8; Medium humanoid (raptoran); HD 4d6+4 plus 4d8+4;hp 42; Init +1; Spd 30 ft., fly 45 ft.

One ofhis best young hunters, Chanil Akiilin, had been hoping tobe appointed for some time, but he was given the positionof war chief instead. Still, Jenlisa is a wise woman, and sheprobably had a good reason for that decision.Lately, Miithi has had his hands full training the youngmembers of the flock to hunt. For some reason, they seemless focused than the youth of previous seasons, and he hashad a difficult time getting them to concentrate on the taskat hand. They seem overtired.Miithi is tired himself—because he has been makingmidnight flights across the lake to spend time with a smallgroup of elf females. One of the elves has been giving himlessons in magic, bringing out the innate magical abilitythat he never knew he had. Miithi has mentioned the elvesto Jenlisa, but he hasn’t said anything about the magic lessons.Nor has he spoken of the fact that he sometimes can’tremember any details of his visits to the elves.Game has been plentiful this season, and Miithi has hadno difficulty meeting Henesku’s demands for more food tostore. Delembril, the supply chief, has had to scramble to getall that meat dried and find places to store it, but the flock’slands have provided well this season.Miithi Xantiro: Male raptoran ranger 8/sorcerer 2;CR 10; Medium humanoid (raptoran); HD 8d8+24 plus2d4+6; hp 74; Init +2; Spd 30 ft., fly 40 ft.
