Reads like PBF which is high praise from me.

I have this mini. Here's the adventure that I use it with: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1854583243/night-of-goose-a-dd-5e-one-shot

Honest question:

How would you actually defeat the duck?

[–] junkthief@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 month ago

I don’t think that’s a duck- ducks tend to quack, not honk! Although neither ducks nor geese tend to have multiple re-growing heads…

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

not a duck. it's a hiss chicken.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Evidently, you have to use a flaming sword like Hercules and cauterize the neck preventing regrowth.

Cut off the legs obviously

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Would its legs not also multiply?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If they did, that night be a strategy too. It's hard to move around with hundreds of feet.

I knew someone would come back with that. But the goose has a round body. When the heads are chopped off, they come back full size, so we can assume the feet would, too. I think it would be different.

[–] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Awwww, they like to cuddle.

Woe upon us all if you're wrong

One cannot defeat this creature of most fowlness. This creature terrorizes the young and the old; the able body and the infirm.

It knows no fear. It only knows violence.

Edit: Missed an opportunity for a pun

Chaos and destruction alone remain the companions of the terrible goose.

[–] xylogx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Did you not see Jason and the Argonauts?

You have to cauterize the head holes with a torch.

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

2x Napalm bombs

Is the two-headed creature now a goose or a geese?

Clearly the poor knight forgot to take the great cleave feat. Otherwise... 1 -> 2

The hydra's blood is incredibly poisonous, though. Hope the... goblins? Orcs?... figured that one out.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

boiling cures all

*but it didn't*

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So is cayenne, though. For someone with a high enough CON score, poisonous blood might as well be a seasoning.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I mean... a tiny bit killed Hercules...

Drugs policies...

Geese are some hideous demon's creation. The Canada goose in particular is a creature built to desanctify life itself.

[–] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

This is a unit you can make in the game "The King is Watching". :D

Isn't the beast supposed to die when you cut off all its heads at once?

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, the heads will continue to grow. One needs fire to cauterize the wounds to prevent goose regrowth.

[–] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

Or acid. Everyone always forgets acid.

(and the rules always forget bases. I assume, not read them in an edition and a half.)

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

It’s probably just Zeus trying to get his end away.

[–] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 2 points 1 month ago

For once this is actually funny.
