So, You Are Hunting Griffons?

New carousing activities!

Tame the Beast

If you have captured this beast, you can spend the equivalent of 4 bags of gold in food between two adventures to tame it. It is now one of your followers. Each extra bag of gold spent training the beast teaches it a one-word order. Otherwise, it only acts to eat or in self-defence.

Craft from Beast Parts

Owlbear fur/leather makes very good leather protection. It’s possible, but very hard to domesticate one if you have a cub.

If you have access to an artisan and a workshop, you can spend loot between two adventures to create something with parts of the beast. The object you craft can be anything mostly made of the provided materials. If you use mundane tools, the result will be mundane; if you spent at least a bag of gold on it, the object will be special; and if you spend the equivalent of a treasure for the tools, it will be magical. Discuss what you want with the referee.
