[PQ+] seems shady

DEIMOS

Despite what the men had found earlier – a rather easygoing lake - their traipsing towards the sound unfurled further details – identical ones, and then those that resembled human screeches. By the time they arrived, the scene was anything but tranquil and serene. Travelers, or perhaps merchants, depending on what was contained in their (clawed) wagon, had been seemingly stumbled upon by the other cockatrice. Seemed the rumors were true.

Four individuals were scattered amidst the pathway – two adults, and two children, each either clutching to one another or screaming from behind a rock as the amalgamation hovered overhead, clearly trying to decipher which to maim and mar next. Jack had been correct in his assertions, because the flying hybrid creature clearly intended to maul the family, unaware the three hunters had walked straight into the dire circumstances.

Deimos clenched his jaw and rushed forward, already beginning to form and draw an earthen barrier in front of the kids cowering behind a tree. “We can shield them, distract, or attack,” granting options – figuring he knew which the Captain might go for.
