Omens

0 of 6 encountered

1. A modest tower, a lone guard protecting a petty duchess. She is obsessed with sleep and dreams. The guard wants to seek the Cudgel, but needs somebody to watch the tower in his absence. Knows that a hawkleon lives nearby, and will be drawn to such a weapon.
2. The corpse of a large white ox lies mauled but uneaten, twitching. Moments later a swarm of clawed bees bursts forth.
3. A hawkleon prowls the shadows and circles the skies, hoping to make sport with the Knights if it can isolate one.
4. A scheming hedgehog tracks the Knights, hoping to steal the Cudgel for itself.
5. The cowardly guard believes they have the Cudgel. It’s just a branch ( hefty).
6. Finally, the true Cudgel ( hefty, the wielder knows the location of every enemy in their heart, but can never stop a fight until their enemy is dead), embedded in a huge slab of unbreakable green marble. Releases itself only for somebody who honestly intends to destroy it.
