I've always wanted a kitty for a pet!

Once upon a time, three travellers where crossing the forest of the witches of Ded, and the fortune make them encounter each other:

They where bunny75, a broken trader that, escaping from his debts with some dwarves, was migrating to Brûm with his two maids. Achast, a shadowy dungeon master of Achastia, and the half-K'Nir kanyiko.

Not before they roads crossed, the three travellers where to find a war camp of some Ozcuras, grey orcs on the service of the witches of the forest.

The three travellers where lucky that the Ozcuras, rather than raiding or hunting, where resting, and so, they could have leaved in silence.

However, interested to see more of the Ozcuras, the three travellers came closer to the Ozcuras camp, against the good common sense.

The Ozcuras can be fierce enemies and deadly warriors... but they are easily distracted.

kanyiko, as he aproacched, offered to them a speciality of his homeland, an arrowbird . Upon seeing the food, the ozcuras inmediatly forgot what they where doing, and as he waved the arrowbird in front of the Ozcuras, they tried to catch it. Amused how the whole ozcura band followed the movements of the arrowbird rythmically, kanyiko was distracted and didn't expected a little forest creature to jump and snatch away from his grasp the arrowbird:

And this almost mean disaster for him, but he quickly picked up from the backpack a second arrowbird: but this time, the ozcuras, suspicious if other forest creature wouln't try to steal them foot again, jumped and tried to eat the arrowbird, pilling over the poor traveller.

While kanyiko played with the Arrowbird and the Ozcuras, bunny75 had identified the leader of the band, as token, offered from his backpack a ball of yarn.

The Ozcura leader was amused by such gift, and began to play with it, getting tangled: and exactly in that moment, the evil dungeon master Achast see an oportunity in adding a new monster to his dungeons, and so he grabbed her, taking the ozcura leader to his home.

"I've always wanted a kitty for a pet!" he said, while bunny75 was surprised, as he was the one to give the Ozcura the yearn, and didn't expected they could do that -but then, he heard the cries for help of kanyiko, being attacked then by the whole band of hungry ozcuras:.

So while bunny75 tried to help kanyiko to escape from the Ozcuras, the territorial Ozcuro male sensed that Achast was challenging his territory, and he quickly went pursuing the three travellers.

Cornered, Achast needed to return her to the large Ozcuro, as kanyiko crawled away from the mob of the Ozcuras who had already devoured the arrowbird.

And so, bunny75, Achast and kanyiko learned that one shouldn't play with the ozcuras, even if they can look armless!

A Ozcura isn't a kitty, but the Ozcura band leader gargment resemble it a bit! !
