Presence of a New Monster

While I was drinking some honey mead in the tavern and looking for people to party for a quest or two, Dancchi came along and asked for help finding some rocs. I said sure and we set out to find some. Now, I don't know if the other adventurers know this or not but recently, the firebirds have gotten more aggressive and they have all started attacking wyverns and rocs. Both the wyverns and the rocs have declared war on the firebirds so they are currently battling in the North Mountains.

Thus, we decided to head over to the North Mountains to look for some rocs. Lo and behold, a large encampment of wyverns appeared near the borders of the North Mountains with the Great Plains. Since we the adventurers are on temporary truce with the wyverns, we were able to proceed past their camp without harm. While we walked past the camp, i asked around for some information on the rocs. Turns out that even though the rocs and the wyverns are fighting the same enemy, sometimes, the rocs will raid their camp. The wyverns were happy to direct us to the rocs camp which were situated northeast of their camp...further into the North Mountains.

After a few minutes of traveling, we arrived near the rocs camp. Currently, the rocs were resting and tending to their injured. I told Dancchi to do what she wanted to do while I go loot their storage room. So, while Dancchi kills some rocs and causing a huge stir/distraction, I snuck into their storage tent and took all of their medicines, ores, money, weapons, and food. While I was looking around, I caught sight of an interesting object...it was a peacock feather. However, this was not any ordinary peacock feather...this was the feather of a Simurgh. It appears as a peacock with the head of a dog and the claws of a lion.

This feather isn't just from any Simurgh...from the quality of the feather, I can confirm that it's from at least a Simurgh demi-god. With this feather...I may be able to track its species. Anyways, I stored the feather and the other items in my bag before setting the storage room on fire. Then, I head out to see how Dancchi was doing.
