As you all stare at the black mass, now visible only by its occlusion of stars in the horizon, large iridescent green eyes, both beautiful and terrible, look your way reflecting the fire light like a cat. Long black vertical slits open near to full and suddenly everyone not immune to Fear becomes Frightened.
[Potential Response #1]
Everyone's filled with dread and fear except one peculiar purple Panther, she only growls angrily, staring out through those wild violet, gear-filled eyes at the responding eyes of whatever is in the field.
[Frightened status effect: A frightened creature has disadvantage for ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight. The creature can’t willingly move closer to the source of its fear. Someone already suffering similar effects by other means become Paralyzed with fear.]
[All wild creatures and summons not immune to fear attempt to flea and all tame creatures are Paralyzed with fear. Bonded wild animals will become Frightened but will not flea from their master's side.]
The eyes close and the sound of giant wings displacing air is near deafening as compared to the silence they displace, a heavy, biting cold gale soon picks up dust and embers from the campfire.[1d20=9]Embers streak and float harmlessly away with a shower of sparks from the stoked flames. An unusual icy chill lingers in the air and the temperature drops 5C near instantly.
The effects of fear slowly fade as whatever it was flies off East toward the forest.
