PaxLair Bestiary – Reaper

Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – September 8, 2011 – by Ashlynn – Being a monstrous plant not unlike a gnarled, dead oak, the creature is famed for it’s terrible disposition towards all animal life whether it be a small ferret or a man clad in iron. Unlike the much lesser corpser, the reaper is intelligent enough to have some mastery of the esoteric arts, but should that not suffice, it will quite happily rend it’s victims apart with powerful wooden limbs.

From the Writings of Ashlynn

Long ago when I was much younger and knew very little about the land, I was once walking the old road from Yew to Vesper and a lengthy trip it was. So lengthy infact that I decided to rest for a while beneath the branches of a very old tree that stood beside the road. The thing must have been sleeping and my leaning against it must have awakened it. The creature let out a terrible roar before taking a swing at me with one of it’s powerful wooden branches, but fortunately I was nimble enough to avoid the blow.

Being somewhat outclassed by my wooden opponent, I decided to make a run for it and barely escaped with my life. I have never looked upon the forests and trees of Britannia in quite the same way since.

About Ashlynn

I play with movable type on behalf of the PaxLair Times. I sometimes move the little wooden letters around to create something resembling an article. And I come and go like the wind.
