get chicken
You pick up a chicken.
A chicken jumps out of your hands!
A chicken clucks and hops off to the southeast.

Never happened to me before, except with the oleanvir adders in Serenwilde. Is this supposed to happen?

Yeah, got added recently.

then is there any way to get them to stay put, or do you just have to be super quick?

The latter.

That I know of. No one in the Wilde's succeeded at keeping them, anyway. (Or if they did they didn't say about it. 'cause there was a bit of complaining. )

You have to be quick. Or pay real close attention as you're going. If you do, you'll see where the jump out of your arms and you can grab em back up. It's hard to do if you're going fast though. LOL

I think the adders taught them the trick of it.

Actually... they should have been doing it all along, the adders made them notice that they were trying to do it the wrong way.

Clever adders. I'd give them a cookie, but I don't have one, and I don't think they like it. Anyone have a dead mouse handy?

Gwyl, your character's an Aslaran. Go get one yourself.

They said they'd prefer it in a cream sauce, with capers.

Fun game: Make a chicken grabbing reflex, so when they walk in, grab em! Get as many as you can, and stand at the nexus. There'll be chickens hoppin around all over the place!
