Chapter Text
Mumbo wakes up in his base. As he looks around, he notices chickens all around him.
<MumboJumbo> Not again...
<Grian> ?
<MumboJumbo> It's the chickens.
<Grian> oh
<Grian> you know, i've been thinking about all these pranks by poultry man... and i have an idea.
<MumboJumbo> What's your idea?
<Grian> we put together a team of people attacked by poultry man and then we all work together and figure out who he is.
Mumbo looks around at the chickens covering his base, pulling out his sword.
<MumboJumbo> Let's do it.
After over an hour of chicken killing and recruiting as many hermits as they could, Grian and Mumbo looked at the finished group. Along with the two of them, Impulse, Tango, Ren, Iskall, Stress, and False were also members.
<MumboJumbo> As we all know, you've all been victims of Poultry Man, the chicken mask-wearing, egg-throwing vigilante. Grian and I have gathered you all today so that we can, as a team, figure out who he is.
<Grian> let's go ahead and eliminate anyone who's here. they could be here to be less suspicious, but i don't know why someone would join a team to figure out something they already know
The hermits talk to each other for a while, thinking of ways to eliminate certain hermits, as well as easily figure out who he is without any of that.
<Renthedog> What if we kill him
<MumboJumbo> ...What?
<Renthedog> If we kill Poultry Man, the chat will say who it is in the death message
<Grian> that might work actually
<MumboJumbo> No it won't?? He'll probably kill you?
<Grian> it'll still say who it is then
<MumboJumbo> Fine. Try to kill him if you want.
After a few minutes of waiting, Poultry Man flies by. Ren quickly puts on his Elytra and flies up. He pulls out his sword and tries to catch Poultry Man, but after a few missed swings, the man in the chicken costume turns around and throws an egg at him, knocking him out of the sky.
<Grian> oh
Ren crashed onto the ground, having somehow survived the fall.
<Renthedog> ...
<MumboJumbo> I told you it wouldn't work.
<Renthedog> I can still do this
Ren pulls out a bow and arrow.
<MumboJumbo> There's no way you can hit him from here.
Ren aims right at Poultry Man and fires an arrow. Poultry Man dodges, but it barely hits one of his wings. Poultry Man stops, starting to fall.
<MumboJumbo> Huh.
<Renthedog> Told you it would work
However, right before he hits the ground, Poultry Man quickly pulls out a bucket of water and uses it to stop himself from taking damage.
<Renthedog> Shit.
Ren begins to run after Poultry Man, pulling out his sword. Poultry Man quickly dodges, pulling out his sword. They begin to fight, although it's clear Poultry Man isn't trying to kill, unlike Ren. After a lot of sword fighting, Ren manages to get a decent slice on Poultry Man. With the vigilante injured, Ren prepares to finish him off, only to notice something... odd.
