Chapter 72

For five long seconds, the players were stunned, and so was everyone else in the stream. There was utter silence on the chat, and even Rue was quiet as everyone watched Charles the Dicken emerge, 20 foot of demonic black feathers and fury. His eyes glowed a deep crimson, and fangs protruded past his beak. Atop his head, flames roared where normally a roosters comb would be, and two horns sprouted on either side. He was terrifying.

What was more terrifying though, was the effect his cry caused.

A Clucky Carol- When Charles emerges from his egg, he will let out a loud cluck. This cluck will instantly enrage all Dickens on the floor and give them +30% to their base stats. Dickens will begin to aggro the nearest adventurers

Even while everyone else was stunned, James shook himself free of the stupor to pull up his dicken's stats. It was easy to find one, given the fact they were now 6 ft in height. Well, that and the fact they were all now engulfed flames similar to those atop Charles's head.
