"Heh... that rules out everyone I know... but I still don't know why you're so familiar. Do you remember any commotion about desertion or a dullahan a decade or so ago? Perhaps the names Lucia or Lucille ring any bells?" She's trying desperately for some kind of thread to tie it together, though perhaps she's just seeing what isn't there.
Sunny strokes the Harpy's feathers. "That sounds like hard work. Though rewarding at the same time. So, are you and he friends? Something more? It would be a shame for such a beautiful creature to treated like a common horse." Sunny asks trying to sound shy without blushing, lest a green tinge give away her true nature.
"I know the feeling... losing grip on your memories. Well... thanks for atleast hearing me out. Perhaps I was remembering your face from when I was alive. Must have made an impression on me, back then." She lowers her eyes and turns to walk away, over to Sunny and the harpy.
Thurl claps his hands. "Alright I think the cooks are done. Shall we head to the great hall?" He leads the group down two levels into a large room that takes up half of this level of the tower. The room is kept warm by two blazing hearths. The rest of the knights take seats at the curved table Thurl sits at the tables head while the party gets to sit at the other end of the table. Thurl raises his mug in a toast.
"To our honored guests!" The knights cheer and as every one eats tales are swapped people laugh until a sentry bursts in.
"The beast! It's on the move!" The knights rise as one and look to their leader.
"We should take this opportunity to slay it...." We lifts a gold ring set with a garnet and puts it on the table with a small bag that jingles when its put down. "A prize for whoever brings me its head!" At that four humans and eight harpys leave the room. Thurl makes his way to the party. "Do any of you wish to join the hunt?" Grin shrugs.

Nya is still near Grin while the group interacts with the knights, the Jabberwocky keeps trying to not show herself too much basically like the green dragon shadow. After the knight talks about the hunt the jabberwocky eyes sparkle a bit and she looks at Grin. "May i?"

Thurl nods and leads the hunters back up the the pinnacle of the tower. Night has fallen and a fog has rolled in, limiting vision to only 100 feet in any direction. The knights are on their harpy partners. Anyone who can't fly is given a harpy to ride. Once everyone is in the air they can see in the fog a single shard of darkness flitting in and out of the mist before the shadow sinks beneath the fog and goes out of sight. As the large group nears the valley the knights split off to cover more ground.
Twenty minutes into the hunt Lucia feels and hears something going 'thunk' into her right shoulder as a deep and gravelly male voice calls out behind her.
"Ah more flesh to eat!"

Lucille narrows her dead eyes as she turns around, (I'm assuming she was hit by an arrow) ignoring the physical damage and pain after the initial sharp jolt, as she pulls out her well-worn zweihander. She growls like a feral animal, looking at whatever called. They'll have much more than food poisoning to contend with if they intend to eat her.
The beast she sees is quite a monster. Yellow eyes with slit pupils, an almost human like face though its mouth is filled with rows of sharp teeth. Its body is like a large lion but has some spikes coming off from the joints and large dragon like wings that are lazily flapping to keep it up in the air. However its most outstanding feature is a tail covered in sharp spikes. It gives a low laugh.
"Ah the food intends to fight? Food should know when to be eaten." It swings his tail sending a spike flying towards her face.

Lucille crouches down to try to duck under the spike, before aiming to go on the offensive, rushing the chimaeric beast and bringing her sword in against it's maw from the side, intending to cleave the smug bastard's face in half, horisontally.
