something for the first day of #morktober - the prompt was GOAT!

Who staggers alongside you?
(A d20 table for animal companions)

1: A rotten little frog.  2: A horrible goat  3: An evil-smelling horse who won’t be ridden. 4: A swarm of two hundred wasps. They live in a miniature hive hanging from your belt. As likely to sting you as they are your enemies.  5: A starved rat. Insensate to pain or fear. Teeth the size of a baby’s finger.  6: An adder, five feet long. Its skin has never fully shed and dry layers of old scales have piled up on its back. It curls itself around your neck and squeezes tight when there is danger.  7: A scabbed squirrel, fur as grey as the sea. Red eyes, yellow teeth. A shivering little thing: it’s scared of a stiff breeze, and when it’s scared, it bites.  8: A grouse with tattered wings.  9: A wolf with stinking breath. When you look into its eyes you know it has eaten human flesh.  10: A salmon. Corrosive slime bubbles up like spit from its skin: touching it causes hallucinations of your bleakest memory.  11: A basking shark. Appears whenever you are looking at the horizon of the sea and longing to be elsewhere; a taunting symbol of freedom. You will never be close to it.  12: A wildcat, feral and cruel.  13: A pine marten. Intelligent in a way a pine marten should not be. Eyes that gleam a little too intently.  14: A fox, its white paws drenched in blood that will never wash off. Leaves tracks of wet and crusting blood wherever it walks.  15: The animated corpse of a dormouse. Bones stick through threadbare flesh; scraps of fur cling to the white skull.  16: A woodlouse. Nestles into the softest part of your skin. It longs to reproduce.  17: A stag that haunts your steps. Your silhouette will always have antlers.  18: A hare with two broken legs. It staggers on.  19: A seal. Alive, and yet it seems to be already rotting. Appears in every river you cross.  20: A barn owl. Screeches the same as your nightmares.

In this Pallid Delve, the Berserkir of Keirk made it down to the Defiled Gulch and was quickly killed by a Giant Sallow Crowned Snail. Ambushed and impaired by the bite - tried to run, the snail kept on him as he stumbled, finally killing him outright. One heck of a fun campaign!
