Kantas Mission Report #001
Objective:
Assist Dorian (quest giver) in accessing a specific clearing containing desirable weeds. Clearing access currently blocked by Owlbear and its cubs.
Team:
Myself (Wren Lunaboult)
Onno, a shelled one infatuated with the deity Umberlee.
Jacinta, a halfling skilled in tracking in forest terrain and a fellow bow user.
Bogg, a halfling user of the arcane with highly stealthy tactics.
Augustine, a human with skills in communing with nature and the deity Tree Daddy (further investigation revealed this to actually be Silvanus).
Details:
Successful contact with Dorian, an approx 3ft tall hedgehog-folk. First time witnessing hedgehog-folk, unsure if this is average height/characteristics, no other folk were encountered.
Contact made at edge of forest named Angelbark Woods.
Dorian informed us of clearing, that he desired weeds used to make stealth cloaks, and that Target was an adult female Owlbear.
Initial tactics were to approach in stealth formation and potentially lure Target away from clearing.
Entered forest with Dorian as a guide, discovered 2 large bird-like creatures endowed with antlers. These creatures were attacking a small bird-folk creature that was in obvious distress. New Targets acquired.
New Targets eliminated. Dispatch method = roasted with fire by Bogg.
New discovery in same clearing as this encounter. One dead rabbit, death resulting from removal of horn from forehead. This indicated involvement of poachers. Possible new targets.
New discovery in same clearing. Bulrush plant that emitted loud screaming sound if extended movement detected. Screaming loud enough to cause some team members to fall over in pain.
Contact made with bird-folk creature. Description = feather patterns similar to that of a magpie. Name = Bawbee.
Bawbee had more information of activity in this area of the forest. Informed us that many horned rabbits are being poached. Also warned of presence of large shambling mound, and another larger antler bird. Wanted help in stopping them. Two new Targets acquired.
Bawbee also confirmed Dorian’s observation of decreased adult Owlbear activity and sightings.
Bawbee initiated negotiations with us. Their tribe would deal with Owlbear if we eliminated shambling mound and large antler bird.
Primary Targets changed.
New tactics deployed. Lure Targets using loud sounds and form an ambush. Method= bagpipe playing by Bogg.
Method successful. Owlbear Target lured. This Target displayed behaviours of desperate investigation for something rather than behaviours of aggression. This warranted further investigation. On inspection and interaction with Augustine Target seemed incorporeal and trying to request our assistance, this was potentially ghost of original Target.
We followed Owlbear ghost, which led us to another clearing. This clearing contained a large area of the screaming bulrushes, our two new primary Targets fighting each other, and a Owlbear cub. Shambling mound contained many corpses, including that of adult Owlbear. This confirmed our suspicions of demise of Owlbear Target.
Shambling mound eliminated quickly. Antler bird was a challenge, but was also eliminated by Bogg’s roasting magic. All Targets eliminated.
Owlbear cub was rescued and is now in care of Bawbee’s tribe.
Bawbee and Dorian both happy with mission outcome.
Casualties:
Momentary unconsciousness of Augustine.
Report Conclusion:
Primary mission successful.
Poachers still at large. Further investigation and action may be needed.
