Just sharing in case others haven't heard this amusing song about a bantam rooster ... I'm assuming it's been around for a good long while, but I heard it for the first time today!

"Right behind you," Oswin said, keeping his voice equally low. Once Unwin started down the steps, Oswin leaned Jem's barely concious form up against the hallway wall, supporting her there with his left hand while his right hand dipped into one of the pockets on her flannel shirt. "Do you have...

Thanks for the responses! I took a chicken to the vet a couple weeks ago and she was put on meds. I think she's all better but just wanted to compare her breathing to my other chickens to see if another vet visit is warranted. But it also seems like a generally useful tool to have around as my...

I'd like to purchase a stethoscope to have around the homestead, but I've never used one before. Anything in particular I should look for when buying one? Or would the cheap-o at Walmart work just fine?

"There's always a choice," Aelfric said, glancing at the key. "And if you pick that one, maybe I'll choose to split you open 'fore they get here. Or maybe if you keep your mouth shut, you can live to show me a safe way out of here."

Laethros grunted as the sudden movement jerked his swollen leg. "Errrhhh," he gritted his teeth, sucking in a few pained breaths through his clenched teeth. "Phhewwww, that was a close one," he said after a few moments. "Sorry about that, lass."

Glenn's skin felt cool to the touch as Fleta put his heavy arm around her shoulder. He gave his head a shake, trying to clear the fogginess that seemed to be clouding his mind as he leaned heavily on her to help push himself to his feet. But as he did so, blood oozed between the fingers of his...

"None of your concern," Aelfric snarled, taking the chance while Gomez was sputtering to pull the knife from his boot. He pressed the cook's blade to Gomez' wrist. "You waste any more time and I'll be leaving your carcass for one of those miserable animals." -- As the pair made their way up...

"The other one is downstairs..." Oswin said quietly as he met Unwin in the hallway. "How can I help?" he offered, anxious to locate the map, which he was almost certain one of the siblings had. -- Kenrick glared at Christof, but edged toward Glenn and Fleta, not wanting to see his brother...

"Listen, Pey..." Kenrick turned to look at his brother binding Fleta's hands, unsure how to handle the situation. "Peyton! Watch out!" he yelled, seeing Christof bringing the knife up toward Peyton's throat. Peyton started to turn, looking for the source of Kenrick's alarm, but not...

(Sorry for being slow. I'll try to sneak in a reply at work soon... But I gotta ask: How did Unwin get out of the room? I thought he broke off the handle to keep it locked?)

Laethros draped his arm over her shoulder, leaning heavily on her as the pair started up the trail. And after the exhausting trek from the day before and no chance to wash up, he smelled almost as bad as one of the orcs. "You just stay on the cliff wall side," he said, feeling her slight...

Leathros clenched his teeth and hobbled the few steps toward the bottom of the trail up the side. "You'll have to lend me your shoulder, I think..." he said, not believing he could traverse the climb without her help. -- Aelfric had many a long hour staring at that key hanging on the wall...

Aelfric didn't bother forming a retort, focusing instead on tightening his fingers around Gomez's throat even more, fully intending to keep squeezing until the disgusting creature lost that horrible smirk permanently. If this failed, if Gomez managed to escape his grasp, he figured he was as...

A loud *thud* came from the ceiling as Jem and Unwin went tumbling to the floor. Oswin glanced up quickly, then back to Fleta and reached out and grabbed for the girl's wrist. "Girl, you and your friend are welcome to leave... once I get what is mine. Peyton, would you bind her hands?" It...
