Inktober 2019 Day 3: Bait in Staff Events | World Anvil

Inktober 2019 Day 3: Bait

Today's Prompt:

A playful name for the unfortunate character who drew the short straw.

A floral material used to lure in a particular monster, or the age-old

tradition of gathering your cadre to hunt the monster down.

Bait is used to draw something out. What is it? What does it summon?

 

Tell us of some bait from your world. What is its story?

Bait for the Albatross
Prose | Jul 28, 2020

"What on the earth are you doing?" Zato sighed, looking at his little brother, who was cover in the flour. Oku lift his eyes, his grin wide as one of the tiger, though it looked particularly funny since he had just lost both of his front teeth...
