Magical Bestiary | Tuesday, period 2

"Right. So," Bob started. "Quite a few of these classes have dealt with how to determine what a magical being wants. What to do and not to do when dealing with them. But what do you do if there is no dealing with them? If what they want is you, dead. Or if they simply want to go from here to there, and you're in their way and they'll kill you regardless?"

He shrugged. "Not everything magical is intelligent, after all. So, since you all seem to love the more practical demonstrations," or keep trying to chase them down and tame them, "I thought we'd do that again."

He gestured, and the Danger Shop was suddenly a city, and at the end of the block were a wave of zombies.

In the distance were some large stomping noises. "That'll be the giants," Bob explained.

The shriek something overhead punctuated his words. "Not sure what that is," he added cheerfully. "We never did find out exactly. Enjoy!"

Sorry, students; your teacher has decided to be a little shit today.

And this was why they were not the melee members of the party.

"They never do, do they? Especially not that many of them all at once. I'm not so fond of that part." Merrill wrinkled her nose, but she did sound somewhat sympathetic when she glanced toward the zombies and murmured, "Poor things."

Anders made a little tch of sympathy with his tongue.

"I know," he agreed. "Shame no one had a chance to burn them before this happened."

"I don't think they're real anyhow." Which didn't stop Merrill from looking like she still pitied them, real or not. "At least, not these. I don't feel too bad about practicing on them, in that case."

"There is that," Anders laughed. "Nothing in here's real. Perfect for practice without guilt."
