The Lazy Cockatrice: Area-22: The Hayloft

The Lazy Cockatrice (Hex 0203)

Area-22: The Hayloft


The hayloft is well-stocked with hay harvested in a meadow behind the Inn. A couple of pitchforks, a scythe, a sickle, block and tack L e, and several hundred feet of twine can be found here.

The fading magical vibrations in the breezeway have attracted a handful (7) of magical monstrosities called feyspiders. These cat-sized spiders have gone unnoticed and so far have kept themselves fed on bats, barn owls, small birds, and the odd gremlin. The Inn personnel remain blissfully unaware of them.

Softly, softly... the big things must no know we are here.


Feyspiders are drawn to places of magic where they feed on both mundane and magical prey. Zoogs and gremlins are favorite prey. Anyone bitten by a Feyspider gains one corruption and must succeed an Ego roll or be lost in a beautiful hallucination, happy, carefree and oblivious to pain; they are unable to act for a full watch. This bite could be addictive. The magical nature the feyspider's bite is lethal to Tzwa.

A feyspider's bite causes euphoria for 2d3 hours unless it's target saves vs. Poison. While euphoric,  they can do nothing but move and are always  surprised.
