A screeching cackling mob....

 Lair of the Harpies (#4/30, #308/365)

"This jagged crag is crowded with a squawking pack of Harpies, fighting over scraps and bones. Upon seeing you, they begin screeching and cackling, flapping the wings and hurling insults and curses in your direction. At the base of the crag are scattered the bones of the creatures' victims, bloodstained skulls and ribs cast asunder."

Contents: The Harpies will attack any Heroes approaching their crag, especially if they outnumber them, but can be bought off with a lot of food, preferably fresh meat. Alternatively, they respect the gods Tanit and the Gargoyle, and will pay homage to any priest worshiping either of those deities.

Among the bones and carcasses at the base of the crag are a few gore-stained trinkets and geegaws; namely 2-12 GP, a golden pectoral (worth 15GP), and a Sandworm-skin cloak (worth 20GP).

Stats:

3-18 HARPIES, SKILL 7 STAMINA 6, Small Claws, Can fly.

Harpies will attack in pairs; if both win an Attack Round against a single opponent, then they will carry the victim up into the air and hurl them down the mountain-side for 3-36 STAMINA damage.
