 [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] found [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] and begged for help in search of her [[manerana:npc:sara|sister]] who's been missing since earlier that morning. They went to leave the city and [[manerana:npc:kaiden|Kayden]] warned about going out into the forest, warning about what their superiors discussed earlier that week. They went anyway and [[manerana:npc:kaiden|Kayden]]  accompanied them in search of the sister. While searching, [[manerana:npc:kaiden|Kayden]]  got lost and [[manerana:pc:kyrie|Kyrie]] took over. They ended up finding the sister in a tree around three in the afternoon, finding the grey wolf awakened and extremely hostile trying to attack her. After coming up with the plan, [[manerana:npc:kaiden|Kayden]]  was going to distract the wolf while [[manerana:pc:kyrie|Kyrie]] and [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] went to rescue the [[manerana:npc:sara|sister]]. However, fate was not on their side and they made too much noise and had the wolf charging at them. [[manerana:npc:kaiden|Kayden]]  shot at the wolf but it was no use. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] casted sleep but it was not effective. She tried a different spell and casted illusion, creating an illusion of the grey wolf, it created the wolf to be temporarily confused. While the wolf was distracted, [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] used detect magic and saw that the wolf had something evil warping the wolf

 [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] and [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] were successful in killing the wolf, however [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] came down with sickness and went home to recover, so [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] reported to [[manerana:npc:johann_seabasstion|Johann Seabasstion]] by herself, bringing him the corpse much larger than normal. Meeting her new teammates, [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] and [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] they discuss the abnormalities of the corrupted. [[manerana:npc:johann_seabasstion|Johann Seabasstion]] goes on to explain that it's beginning to affect the trade and must be dealt with or the people may soon have a rough winter. The trio go to the local medic, [[manerana:npc:stratsberg|Stratsberg]] to get aide, and [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] drags the wolf in and its hind legs get stuck and the medic scolds him to the side door. He motions to the back of the room for a flat table for operating with various equipment, the table while large is fairly short. Immediately he notices its corrupted and requests to have four to six hours to operate and shoos them out the door ecstatic to get to work and sending a happy waive as the team go on their way to return the next morning. After asking around, they learn that the hunters and butchers frequent taverns the closest one is "the bear claw" tavern . [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] goes to the library and checks for anything worthwhile and finds some diseases some are close but nothing is a perfect match, she then gets distracted by kids books then loses track of time. Meanwhile [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] goes to The Bear Claw and talks to local hunters, not a lot of hunters available due to the difficulty to hunt due to the corrupted making meat pricing go up making the hunters scarce trying to earn wages. The information he learns isn't very great and is roughly the same as what he had. Then, he goes to The Butcher guild and have a lot of people with no work, in fact they were backed up on orders. Some of the meat they collected were inedible and were thrown out and they came in all shapes and sizes. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] goes to the docks to ask the local fishermen if there were any in the water. According to the locals, the fish orders are the main source of food due to lack of other meats. One of the fishermen mentions, although they haven't had anything locally, however his uncle's brother some where at another port there was only one fish that came back with the meat was off and alive, however he often liked to tell stories and they thought nothing of it. In the morning, the gnome medic is ecstatic to show [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] and [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] his discoveries. Meanwhile a knocking from the main door and the medic answers eagerly urging him inside. Before them is a gruesome scene of the dismantled wolf, [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] throws up and the medic gives her a potion to help her nausea. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] recognizes the smell to be arcane mixture of brimstone and lavender, he informs his two teammates of the magic like scent. The medic exclaims, "correct! correct!" and he starts to explain the source of it is its dismembered head. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] notices there's a mist all over its body, she sees on the counter there's an object, but is unable to see what school the source of magic. He points to the incision on the brain and he gestures for them to come forward. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] and [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] go forward and see a white scar where there's fur missing and there appears to be a small hole in his brain. he runs over to the counter and shows to the three teammates and shows the crystal [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] saw, and he gives her the crystal and its still gross and it wasn't cleaned. The crystal appeared to be almost fused with the brain, suspected to be the source of crazy in the wolf. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] then inquires about a local enchanter, happens to be his brother. The gnome writes down for fifteen minutes very thorough paragraph directions to find him. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] backs away eyeing the gnome and hits his head and the door slams behind them. After several hours of searching they ended up back where they started. While [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] breaks the news [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]], [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] finds a local and gets a quick and easy way there versus the three page essay. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] knocks on the door and asks why they're there and gives [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] back the instructions to the house making him irritated. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] moves him out the way and states they're there for identifying the crystal. He shows them to the back where he stores merchandise and [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] sees him run magic through the crystal. He says its crystal mana, which is unheard of and by someone very powerful. He goes on to say it's hard to see what spell was used on it. He offers to attempt an appraisal at a fee, however its degrading quickly. He asks the team to bring back another crystal, fresher and alive. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] remembers a potential less dangerous candidate of the corrupted, smaller animals, that might be able to obtain. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] asks  [[manerana:npc:flatsberg|Flatsberg]] if there's a way to track the magic, he offers to try and requests to keep the crystal. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] asks about a sword, drooling over it, however changes his mind upon looking at the price tag muttering "later". [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] suggests going upstream, [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] inquires about how [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] she came upon the wolf. After her recap, he remembers how the corrupted stay near the forest. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] remembers there's been reports both lizards and lynx like creatures corrupted that are easier to capture and bring back alive. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] suggests going to the marketplace and [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] remembers leaving older fish would be good bait for both creatures. After arriving around 1 P.M. the fishers are all sold out, running in two cycles to catching fish. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] inquires about long period time preserving for the bait.

 As [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] and [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] stand outside the cat's cave in the middle of the night, [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] lights a torch a torch and sees two standing above them. The cave wall seems to be about 35 feet above them, [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] picks up [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] and he starts to climb (about 20ft up) the cliff, all the way up to the cats while she carried the torch. After reaching the top one of the cats hisses and swipes at him and scratches him and he stumbles into the water and causes [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] to drop the torch into the stream and it floats away. As they get up, they see three people walking towards them holding a torch. They recognize [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] and [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] and they inquire about the new person [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] sent by [[manerana:npc:johann_seabasstion|Johann Seabasstion]]. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] teases [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] about splashing in the water which proceeded to irritate him. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] goes over to [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] and he touches him to allow them to see in the dark, his cloak glowing in the dark. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] jokes about [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] being blind so [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] takes [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] but the three of them fall. On the side [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] and [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] see that there is more cats onto the cliff. After trying again [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] stubs his toe so he decides to spot [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] and [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] climbs up onto [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]]'s shoulder's and makes it onto the cliff. As the rest of the team makes the climb, the three cats jumps to attack the team, [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] gets hit pretty bad, the one night without his helmet. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] was safely avoided but then [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] gets the worse and is bleeding profusely. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] tries to attack her with her rapier but she misses and jumps back with the cat. [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] runs towards [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] to try to heal her. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] misses the cat and hits [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] instead just a glancing blow. The cats attack again but miss, and a new cat runs out and attacks [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] and [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] and [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] notices when the cat opens its mouth bullets coming out as it hisses at him while it attacks. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] attacks the one in his face and he grips on its face but it grips harder. Grabbing his sword he uses it to get it off him and succeeds prying it off him but it goes up in a purple smoke and he smells lavender. After sneezing, he slashes at the one below him and it also puffs up in a smoke. [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] goes to [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] to grab the cat and is barely able to get the cat off of her and it appears to be very angry. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] attacks the cat on him with a hammer on his face and the cat disappears in a puff, luckily the cat got most of the attack but he still got a ringing in his ear. Joking, he looks at [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] and ask, "how's my face?" in which he replies "as ugly as ever." Feeling offended he says, "wasn't asking you." [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] attempts to play music but his bagpipes are wet. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] casts sleep on the cat and it works and falls asleep but so does she. Three more cats run out and the first two run and jump to [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] and in his attempt to dodge he ends up falling to the water. The second one shoots at [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] and it pierces him and the other one by [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] shoots him. The cat appears to have been unaffected by the sleep spell and attacks [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]]. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] teleports towards [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] as she started to float down the river and he grabs her and tries to run towards to the tree line. [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] attempts to kick the cat but misses. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] throws a net onto the cat and was successful in catching it after [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] let go. Three cats attacks [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]], two attacks [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]], and one attacks [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] in which the one in the net disappears and smells lavender and brimstone indicating strong magic. [[manerana:pc:Goro|Goro]] sets [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] down and is successful in waking her up and he suggests running back to the camp evident by his bloodied up self. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] notices that one of the cats didn't use magic missile. The team essentially runs away from the cats because the original keeps making copies.

+About halfway to [[manerana:city:c_template|Kamir]] the group decides to try to tame it. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] puts his hand in the cage and at first the cat backs away but ended up getting scratches and loving on him. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] then attempts to give fish to the cat and takes the fish but cautiously takes the fish from her hand. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] went to pet the cat, at first it didn't like it but warmed up for pets. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] makes a collar for the cat with his captain medallion incase it gets loose. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] puts the collar on it and surprisingly it lets him. When he tries to take the cat out of the cage and it freaks out and fights him. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] then attempts to take it out and its skittish but lets him hold it, eyes wide but not moving. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] takes half of the last fish along with a leash and goes to the cat to feed it. As it takes the fish it, but when he went to put the leash on it it freaked out and scratched [[manerana:npc:Quacks]], but [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] was able to help calm the cat down giving [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] the side eye while [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] was able to hold the cat. They put the cat back and the cat flipped out on them while they attempted to put it back. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] loudly makes his judgements and protests about the cat. They start heading towards the camp with no problems with what looks to be five to six merchants, about fifty to sixty people. Its a well guarded camp. As they walk up they get asked their names and business for protection of the camp and then they're free to move around the camp with merchants trying to sell them stuff. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] and [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] go to the camp enchanter, [[manerana:npc:nocense|Nocens Sonitus]] to see what they have to sell, everyone else kinda just tag along. Among his items there is a clock amulet with gears clicking back and forth. It enhances attacks once a day but allows the user to achieve its desired attack (10 attack plus modifiers). He shows another amulet (amulet of breathing) allowing the user to have an hour of clean air no matter the circumstances. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] mocks, "See [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] there's other ways to breathe." [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] then attempts to exchange his boots but the merchant doesn't see interested. The merchant then states the breathing amulet is to be sold for 250 gold, to which [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] wants to test out the amulet to which [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] mocks, "how would you even test it?" Then [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] replies, "as a holy man you can see my intentions are pure." The merchant says, "I trust your holiness as much as your image." [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] proceeds to buy the amulet of clockwork for 400 gold. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] slips it on and he can feel the magical energy from the amulet. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] then attempts to waterboard the merchant while he's wearing the amulet, he states he will increase the price. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] then uses detect magic to stop the nonsense and it was placed on the table and [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] sees that when he was wearing the amulet it didn't have magic but then when placed on the table then it had magic. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] also purchases a belt. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] asks [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] to purchase the amulet of breathing for him as the merchant isn't too happy with him. She gives him the amulet and the five gold he had given her as a thanks for doing it for him. However she gives it back to him as she doesn't understand why he did that. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] inquires about the corrupted and the merchant states he was attacked by a bird with purple eyes and with five gold would take them to the attack site in the morning. [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] goes to speak with [[manerana:npc:John Paul|John Paul]] and inquires about the corrupted. He states that there has beeen some seen up the road. The night was very uneventful and in the morning they buy some fish for the cat and [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] feeds it resulting in a very positive feedback from the cat. They then go to meet [[manerana:npc:Nocense|Nocense]] where he states that its about a fifteen miles up the road, about three hours where they're by the tree line by dragna. He points out where he was attacked by the bird and suggests that the cat should help with it. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] then states he likes birds and then [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] sighs in frustration and says, "of course you do, pretty much an y creature with purple eyes." Trying to get more details about the bird it wasn't very helpful. Noted that the bird is brown like and likes shiny objects to which [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] offers [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] as bait. [[manerana:npc:Nocense|Nocense]] sets up a blanket to watch the fight. The team looks up in the tree line that there is a [[manerana:enemy:sparrow_cross_corrupted|Sparrow Cross]] in a nest that is about three inches sticking out, but [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] is looking the wrong direction to which [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] assists her by showing her the correct way. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] uses locate object to find the crystal and it points directly at the bird. They attack and capture the bird with the merchant and heads back to Kamir
+===== Search for the Artificer =====
+  *???
+ Upon making back to the city the return to [[[manerana:npc:Stratsberg]] and bring him the corrupted bird, [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] angrily left the room cursing under his breath. As [[manerana:npc:Stratsberg]] was examining the bird, he discovers that the gem was embedded into his legs and inquires the group on any odd behaviors and he starts to cut on the bird's leg. He pulls out two very tiny shards, significantly smaller than the shards previously found. Very light purple aura, still containing the magic. After the operation, [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] feels very sick to her stomach and the group was to regroup in the morning so that [[manerana:npc:Stratsberg]] can begin his investigation. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] goes to the market to get some fish for the cat, striking out he goes to the shoreline to see fishermen about to throw out old fish. He then buys a few days worth for the cat and nothing more because he was worried about it spoiling. The rest of the group goes to their respective houses for the night and slept. In the morning they go directly to [[manerana:npc:Stratsberg]] to discover the shards can be safely removed however if the creature were to die there would be a loop to go to the shard to destroy the shard and that the shards have layered enchantments. While the group listened intently [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] listening in at the doorway with his arms crossed. [[manerana:npc:Stratsberg]] suggests going to see his cousin, [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] for more information and may even pay them for the shards. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] mutters, "Goodie...". [[[manerana:npc:Stratsberg]] gives them a very confusing, yet detailed instructions on how to get to [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] across the river. Looking at the map on the back is a very detailed information on how to get there including climbing through someone's window. Ignoring the weird instructions, they decide to go a different way. Looking at the map [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] decides its best to go through the forest is the best way to get there, roughly it'll take two days by foot to get there. At the camp, [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] attempts to sell his boots of water walking. When he attempts to sell, he gets an offer of 30 gold which he declines. They make it up the road to the river, its not too big but there is a bridge leading across. It feels very woodsy and feels like the right way to go. They wander up the river for several hours but are struggling to find it as there are many boulders. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] looks in the opposite direction at a small boulder and states he thought he saw a spider and sometimes has nightmares about spiders in her armor. They see a river crossing and an odd boulder crossing which didn't seem natural. They ended up finding [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] and walk up the stream and it seems like someone uses a makeshift rock bridge looking towards the bridge. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] see a shiny something fly towards them and him and [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] hear a high pitch whine, like high speed gears spinning and whirling. Looks like it goes up from something, looks like a bug, doesn't feel like its a threat. It flies up and [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] gets hit (8 piercing damage, 5 poison damage) and it bites him then flies away. More flies out from behind the rocks and they look like clockwork beetles and appear to be very angry, about 20 to 50 feet away and they hide in-between the rocks.
+===== Finding Needlepuck =====

+[[manerana:npc:Quacks]] decides to punch the [[manerana:enemy:clockwork_beetle|clockwork beetle]] and did some damage to the beetle. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] slammed his shield into the ground and then slashed the bug with his sword and dealt some damage to it. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] notices they're gold cold, abnormally shiny and that the light reflects, almost like a strobe affect. She then attacks the bug with her rapier and then it shatters into several pieces. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] thought it was odd that it shattered, unnatural for an animal to just shatter. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] then attempts to hit one of the bugs but he misses, after his attack they vanish into the rocks where they can't see them. [[manerana:pc:Kyrie|Kyrie]] moves across the long and then peers into the rocks searching for the bugs, she then shoots the stairs. She can see what appears stairs cut into the rocks. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] dashes across the long and up the stairs, in front of him he appears into a yard and sees a dog. The dog is barring down and growling at him, a [[manerana:enemy:clockwork_hound|clockwork dog]]. Gears, levers, and glowing red eyes indicates he's a steam punk dog. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] disengages and runs past and he sees a small cave or home and seems to be in use, he notices the door and he opens the door. He hears banging and clanking and sees a gnome surrounded by acclimations and machines and odd weapons around him. Scarring the gnome, [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] notices that the gnome's places is in disarray and the gnome is shaking and questioning, "you're not supposed to be here! my creatures were supposed to take care of you!" [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] replying, "I was too good for them, hey guys I solved the quest! He's in here!" [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] hears [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] and he misty steps onto a rock that's very steep and the stairway is actually cut into the boulders, almost impossible to see with out being on top of them. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] walks across the boulders and gets attacked by a creature but it luckily misses. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] runs across the log bridge and to the bottom of the stairs. Upon seeing the angry dog she attempts to soothe the dog, but the dog wasn't moved. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] dashes across the bridge close to [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]]. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] asks, "we talked to your cousin." To which he replies, "which cousin? if its the one I owe money then no!" [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] not remembering the name of the object and purpose for why they're there, "uhhhhh the mana glowing gem thing." [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] exclaims, "a mana stone!! Where is it??" [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] says," I don't have it but my friends do." After hearing this all the creatures go back to their defence positions. After getting the gang together, he's very excited and inspects the mana stone from [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]]. He explains that they're pure stones and that he's been searching for the mana stone. He shows them his mapped of their appearances but had no luck getting one. He asks how they got it and the team states they got it from alive, in their luck it was perfectly intact, smacking his head. They converse about the creature's stones being made and how [[[manerana:npc:Stratsberg]] mentioned the layered enchantments. [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] is in awe of the stone enchantment idea and then he walks outside to which his dog runs up to him and he places the stone on the dog. The dog glows purple and is apparently stronger, being powered on its own without requiring another device to charge. [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] then asks for the group to test the device in exchange give the team 200 gold each, using [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] (the dog) for testing and the beetles for tracking, to bring back a corrupted alive. Looking at the map, both [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] and [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] realize the areas most affected (little dots) are where there's lots of people that would be located and that the forests are areas are very popular hunting and historically safer there than the forests on the other side of the mountain. The beetles can only go up to 30 miles from his location. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] makes a poor copy of the map and the gang mocks it looks like poo. The group discuss what to do and strategize what to do for their quest for [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]].

After waking up the next morning, [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] makes a gnome breakfast of worm paste and fried frog legs. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] and [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]]  finds the breakfast delicious and delicate taste and feel inspired from it (+1 bonus). [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] offers [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] again and she politely declines and [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] tries to reassures her while doing some workouts while complimenting his cooking. She teases him and he assures her its just the cooking not the gnome. They follow [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] shows the map again and shows two things the beetles found overnight. The northern (bigger) is roughly four to five hours away filled with forests and plains while the southern (smaller) is roughly three hours away with the rivers and flatlands. The animal they're searching for has paws. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] uses locate object at the last known location, seeing the trail is going north west, moving in a way that seems like its moving steady. In about five minutes they see a glimpse of the creature moving through the trees, its very difficult to see even knowing its direction. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] can't see what they're looking at, however [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] sees movement in the trees in front of them. The creatures seem to be moving perpendicular not moving fast. They continue casting locate object and they sneak up on them, but before the spell wears off [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] can see out of the creatures he can see which is the one they're after. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] and [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] (disadvantage two rounds) are hit with a gust of poison cloud and then are attacked by the creatures. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] thankfully gets avoided by the bite but was hit with a scratch (12 hit), he casts wrath of the storm and he casts 7 points of damage against the creature. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] gets bit by the creature (24 points of damage) and then (17 and 16) he gets knocked unconscious. The [[manerana:enemy:bale_cat|Bale Cat]] and [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] (immune to poison) join the fight. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] gets 29 points of damage. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] casts cure wounds on [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] (heals 6 points of health). [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] attacks the creature and then does a second strike (7 damage) and he moves outside of the circle and sees that the circle is heavily obscured due to the fog. [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] bites the creature (11 points of damage) nom nom damage. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] survives her death throw. [[manerana:enemy:bale_cat|Bale Cat]] catches poison but it was able to make a clone, its clone (immune to poison)  was able to use magic missile (11 points of damage). The original [[manerana:enemy:bale_cat|Bale Cat]] moves to a safe place in the trees but is poisoned still (two turns). [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] unsheathes his sword and then slashes the creature and lands a hit (reduced movement until [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]]'s next turn) he then knocks the creature prone and then slashes at it again successfully hitting the creature knocking it out. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] gets hit by the creature but was able to use his shield to avoid the damage. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] guards himself with the shield and avoids damage and [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] avoids damage because of his armored body. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] moves towards [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] to heal her, avoiding a slash in the process, he casts cure wounds (10 points of healing) then he used second wind and he's no longer poisoned. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] spanks with fist and then deals 4 points of smack of dat butt damage with bonus damage of sass, he rolls with whatever [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] has no preference. Second smack with 8 points. The creature is both aroused and confused. [[manerana:enemy:bale_cat|Bale Cat]] hides from combat and tries to recharge. The illusion [[manerana:enemy:bale_cat|Bale Cat]] fires at the creature closest to it (11 points of damage). [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] does a bite attack after that pretty awkward scene, does damage (18 points of nom nom piercing damage) and then moves in front of [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]]. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] she casts a minor illusion of [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] and then heals herself, she is poisoned for two turns. [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] uses a nonlethal distracting strike, he aims for its head and backside hitting it (used clockwork amulet). Using action surge and inspiration he hits with a tripping attack, missing but hit him with a 14 slashing damage making the creature bloodied (46 damage total) he is poisoned for 5 turns. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] gets attacked with claws (10 points of damage), the other lynx like creature tries to break free and [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] attacks with the opportunity attack using grapple grabbing its tail. With [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]]'s opportunity attack he slashes for 7. The creature tries to break free from the grapple, failing miserably screaming that the dog won't let go of him. [[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] then goes after the creature in front of him to try to break its leg, then action surged, then booming blade in case it runs. [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] using his big brain strategy he comes up behind another one, jumping forward hitting the middle of the creature's spine, using a stunning strike as well (19 damage) with an additional attack (6 damage) and finally using his bonus action to bloody it (7 damage). [[manerana:enemy:bale_cat|Bale Cat]] it decides to stay hidden and unsuccessful of its charging. The illusion cat aims at the one [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] is attacking and successfully kills it. [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] decides to maintain his grapple. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] moves beside [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] and uses a nonlethal slash doing 9 points of damage.

[[manerana:pc:Nox|Nox]] smashes the creature with war hammer attempting to break the legs (9 points of nonlethal damage). [[manerana:npc:Quacks]] walks over full of hatred and nonlethally uppercut and knocks the cat out. [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] uses detect magic and sees which one has the magic stone and then sees the crystal is in the leg. Then [[manerana:npc:Marty|Marty]] drags the unconscious body of the cat back to [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]]'s. Upon arriving he gets excited and then preforms surgery on the animal while [[manerana:pc:goro|Goro]] covers [[manerana:pc:Navier|Navier]] 's eyes to protect her of the sight. [[manerana:npc:Needlepuck|Needlepuck]] then retrieves the gemstone and then he goes into a coat closet and the follow him into a huge cavern and they see him climb down a ladder and in the middle of the area they see in the middle of the place they see a huge clockwork dragon.
