Creature Codex
We’re heading back to China, for more of the creatures appearing in the Guideways Through Mountains and Seas. One of the things I find particularly interesting about that book is that, even for the kind and friendly creatures, it tells you what diseases they cure or other benefits you gain by eating them.]
Bo
This creature looks like a muscular horse, except that it has a single horn growing from its head, and the clawed forepaws of a predatory beast. Its hindquarters bear stripes, and it has a black mane and tail.
The bo is a feral kin to the unicorn, less intelligent, but stronger and more bestial. Despite their carnivorous nature, they are goodly creatures. A bo’s favorite meat is that of other predatory creatures, and they help to keep the populations of animals and magical beasts low enough to support villages in the forests and plains they call home.
A bo is among the fastest of all beasts, although they can reach their top speed only for short bursts. Their hide turns away weapons, and this quality is coveted by warriors of all kinds. The unscrupulous and cruel will kill bo to make armor or ointments that grant damage reduction, but a bo will also share its protection with a goodly rider. They can be persuaded to join an army if the cause is just and if they are well fed (the meat of big cats is a particular favorite).
Bo vary in size as horses do, but tend towards large and muscular forms. Although their teeth are sharp, they prefer to fight with their horns, biting at enemies only if they are held in the front claws or during feeding.

1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with my experience at Dark Magic Cafe on James Island. The service was incredibly slow and the staff seemed uninterested in serving customers. The food was mediocre at best, and overpriced for what it was. The atmosphere was dark and gloomy, which might be good for some people, but I found it to be uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I had high expectations for Dark Magic Cafe, but unfortunately, it fell short in every aspect. The coffee was weak and tasted like it came from a vending machine. The pastries were stale and lacked flavor. The staff seemed like they didn't want to be there and were not attentive to customers' needs. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality coffee shop on James Island.
3. Mark - 2 stars
Dark Magic Cafe was a big letdown for me. The menu was limited and didn't offer much variety. The coffee was average at best and didn't live up to the "dark magic" promise. The service was slow, and it took forever to get our orders taken and receive our food. The prices were also higher than what I would expect for the quality of food and service received. Overall, I was not impressed and won't be returning to this cafe.
4. Rachel - 2 stars
I was excited to try Dark Magic Cafe on James Island, but my experience was far from magical. The food options were limited, and the portion sizes were small, leaving me feeling hungry still. The service was slow and inattentive, and the staff seemed more interested in chatting with each other than serving customers. The ambiance was dark and uncomfortable, which made it difficult for me to relax and enjoy my meal. Overall, I was disappointed with this cafe and wouldn't recommend it to others.
