"Whoa. He beaned a wild turkey."
-Liatai, GM of Akellon
What started out as a deus ex machina to keep the black bear Fuzzy from killing the party in hunger-induced rage swiftly evolved into a running gag of the Akellon Party's drow monk, Sszeyl, attempting to bean birds of various sorts with his sling weapon to feed the various carnivorous animals that accompany the party. The first two instances of this resulted in surprising success, scoring a wild turkey for Fuzzy, and a robin for Papa the riding dog. Sszeyl then attempted to snag a snack for Percy, Barshal's eagle familiar, but failed twice before the party reached the Granch Redmaw gang's cave hideout.
The next instance of this was a seemingly random repetition of the above, attempting to bean a crow, but instead angering it to the amusement of the rest of the party save Gnogglebolt, who aided Sszeyl in taking down the demon bird, and winning the previously incarcerated cat Barnabus a tasty snack.
