i still dont understand why it did not stop right away when we covered its eyes...
So do I. The reason I suggested that was because animals generally stop when they can't see.  ::)

My experience's more toward side of animals flailing and trying to get whatever's fallen on them off. It's pretty much the more lazy and trained animals that stops. Animals do tend to stop if they're shocked with bright lights, though :D

Plus from sound of it, it was already dashing all out and ran into the thing right as it got covered.

This is not an ostrich!
Besides, real life does not always go well with forum RPGs.
Hope that cleared it up.

edit: Also, what the DM says goes, not wise for players to argue against a DM.

Thanks. Now when ever I see a jabberer tormenting dorfs in the cavern I can't help but to think of ostriches pecking on my dwarves.

Why are we talking about ostriches? And rationality?

Ostriches are herbivores living on plains. This thing is a terror bird who ate all his vegetables as a kid, and lives in a cave. Sight may not be it's dominant sense.

It looks like we're the only irrational ones here. We're in it together, now.

You quickly rise to your feet and begin assessing the situation. You then give a hearty chuckle echoing off the walls when you think to yourself how quickly you were traveling and how nothing could stop instantly... why you covered his eyes moments before a stalagmite Armok only knows. You clean yourself off and check on your mount. He seems fine, just a little dazed. You think this is an opportune time to go mining of course, you're fairly certain your close the the silver vein the Leader was talking about. You begin to dig and the jabberer somehow finds straw, moss, and grass and builds a nest while it watches you strike the earth. (+3 silver ore)

Aww, crud. This can only mean one thing:
When you return you will notice that the jabberer refuses to move from its nest and soo notice a large egg.. The bird won't most likely allow us to take it or leave without it ::)
