You aren't truly considered a knight until you've successful completed your first snail hunt. A time honored and joyous coming of age tradition within the kingdom.

But who will slay the tuck-in bird?

The dire snail is a rare but fearsome beast, inhabiting only the most dangerous of swamps, damp caves, and dark dank places
Aside from being hard to kill it's meat is used in the ceremony after the hunt, and it's shells are used to be made into instruments

Is this the fate of those knights who fail in their first hunt?

>>62531227
Honestly I think the idea of the snail hunt being more akin to clubbing baby seals, but being taken twice as seriously, more fitting to the weird nature of the manuscripts than the snails actually being any sort of threat.

>>62531220
Okay. I get I lack a lot of context from my modern perspective, but what in the actual literal fuck is this.

>>62531258
Good point

Also, these were basically the middle age equivalent of the monks working for hours doing nothing but writing, then basically drawing joke images afterwards in their downtime

>>62531258
>more akin to clubbing baby seals
I concur with this anon as it will make the casualty rates embarrassingly high ( if only 1-2%).
Maybe the peasants are fearful of the snails though, and the knights can make themselves look impressive (without putting themselves in any real danger) by clearing them.

What if the snails are harmless beasts that all the peasants are fearful of and the rabbits are the real threat - ignored by the knights out of fear.

It's literally just bored monks doodling in the margins of their notebooks. It's like I'm back in school.

The snails developed a defensive mechanism that allows them to spray toxic pheromones at the knights. For most this is harmless... but the weak willed among their number? They become infatuated with the snail kind and run off with one, eschewing all clothing, until eventually they may bond into one beautiful being.

Wasn't all this basically because monks also did a bunch of gardening, and thus fucking hated those bastard snails eating their cabbage and rabbits digging up their turnips, so they doodled little fights between the monks as knights and the snails. Also dogs going after the rabbits and it became a monk meme.
