I defended my demesne, driving the terrible beast away:
The formidable creature then proceeded to terrorize the neighbourhood:
AKRATIC WIZARDRY: A blog wherein I scribble about role-playing games (Mythras, Against the Darkmaster, Dungeons & Dragons [esp. old school], Swords & Wizardry, Into the Unknown, Middle-earth Role-playing, Lord of the Rings Role-playing, Adventures in Middle-Earth, Crypts & Things, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) and RPG settings (Middle-earth, Cthulhu Mythos, Greyhawk, Lyonesse, Ukrasia, etc.). I also write about fantasy and science-fiction films, novels, art, TV shows, and the like.
You're lucky. In BC they normally appear in groups of 2d6, led by a 2HD turkey. Honestly, they're not that aggressive, but they are big, and there are more of them around every year. I think of dinosaurs every time I see one.

DeleteYes!
When a wild turkey visits my home, typically it has come in a bottle of 101 proof.
ReplyDeleteI generally prefer that kind of wild turkey visit!

ReplyDelete"I was flicking through the channels on the TV
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
Trying to piece together conversations
Trying to find out where to lay the blame
But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
We're just sugar-turkeys in the rain"
Ha! Thanks. :)
