What actually happened?

The party met with The Magician and received a quest to find and harvest herbs for dye which included preparation methods. They set out and encountered crocodiles, boars and a few angry druids while succesfully collecting plenty of herbs. They stopped by a seaside camp to fully process some of the dyes and loot the camp of course. On the way back Izaya wanted to catch a crocodile so they used a magic fishing rod and hooked it. Bonk yoinked the whole croc out and they brought it back to town to deliver to the guild.

1. The party (Kejora, Jerrod, Mr. Hei, Bonk, Nyxara)
2. The Magician from The Fool's Masquerade shop.
3. Two druids.
4. Captured crocodile.

(What happened)

Subjects 1 arrived in Setting A new as stated on quest board. Subject 2 proceeded with briefing Subjects 1 on the case. Subjects 1 is expected to gather pigmented herbs in a particular method as described by Subject 2.

Verified via Herbalism Kit owned by Subjects 1, that the plants required can be found in the the northern forest. Subjects 1 then searched the related areas as suggested by Subject 2 and Herbalism Kit.

The first herbs found in ​Setting B required the use of Grappling Hooks and Ropes to scale the ravine cliffs (the herbs grows on the surface of river stones). Setting B are also sparsed with Crocodile-infested waters. The party defeated one crocodile while gathering the herbs.

​

The herbs in Setting C are relatively easy to find, but wild boars overruns the area. Subjects 1 had to engage with several boars, including a Giant one. After defeating and skinning all of the boars except one, Subjects 1 managed to harvest the herbs.

The herbs in Setting D are found on the Sea-facing cliffs near a Druidic campsite. Subjects 3 confronted Nyxara, who flaunted the herbs on her possession. Subjects 3 engaged in battle with Nyxara, Jerrod, and Bonk while Kejora and Mr. Hei tried to collect the herbs in stealth. Alas, Subjects 3 fell to Bonk, and the party overtook the camp. ​

​​Mr. Hei, Jerrod and Kejora worked on extracting the dye from one set of the herbs obtained from Settings C and D respectively. Herbs from Setting B is left to ferment in one of Kejora's extra waterskin. Subjects 1 eventually made their track back to Dawnport after successfully extracting the dyes.

Upon reaching Setting B, Mr. Hei requested for help to feed the crocodiles with the Un-flayed boar. Bonk then tied the Boar's carcass on Kejora's pole of angling. Once the crocodile bit the carcass, Bonk managed to reel it up the cliff and knock it unconscious in once mighty pull. Subjects 1 proceeded to tie the crocodile (Subject 4) to bring it back alive to Dawnport.

Subjects 1 then turned in the dyes, the herbs, and the waterskin containing half-processed herbs to the Magician for rewards. Subjects 1 also brought back Subject 4 to the Adventurer's Guild Hall, claiming it to be submitted for the Arena Bestiary.

Kejora's Pop song #1 - The Crocodile Reel

At Fool's Masquerade we answered the call,
A Magician sought pigments, the brightest of all!
Through forest and thicket we hurried away,
To gather strange herbs before end of the day!

Hey! Ho! Through ravine, forest, and sea!
Fighting tusk and tooth for our alchemy!
Mix the dyes and fill the pail,
But wait till you hear of the crocodile tale!

On river stones the rare herbs grew,
With hungry 'diles with jaws wide through!
We dangled from ropes in perilous waltz,

Then gather the pigments from nature's vaults!

Then boars charged hard through the tangled brush,
A giant among them came in with a rush!
We fought and we skinned and we gathered our prize,
While keeping one carcass for a later surprise!

Upon the sea cliffs the druids stood,
While Nyxara waved herbs in mischievous mood!
Steel met spell and the camp was won,
The dyes were prepared as the day neared done!

Hey! Ho! Back to Dawnport we trekked!
But our finest trophy was a plan that prevailed!
A boar on a line and a 'dile's bite,
Bonk gave one mighty pull with all of his might!

He reeled that 'dile beast up the ravine wall high,
Sent it asleep before it knew why!
Bound and captured, tail and smile,
All hail the glorious crocodile!

The dyes were delivered, the guild got its file,
But everyone cheered for the captured crocodile!
So raise up your mugs and sing all the while:

No herb was as famous as the crocodile!��🎶

The party consist of me, Nyxara, Bonk, Izaya and Kejora We went to the Magician's Shop. He gave us a task to recover three different plants. And so we accepted his task, and to be fair it was fairly easy.

We first arrived at a riverbank, where we could see bridges connecting to the other side of the cliff. There, Izaya and Kejora started looking for one of the plants. They did found them, but the plants were mostly 30ft down the cliff. Izaya attached a rope and went down to retrieve the plant, Nyxara made an ice platform, and Bonk was ice skating on the platform. We managed to kill one crocodile, while the other crocs retreated, waiting for their prey to go down again. We also found three plants there.

Then we moved on to a more sparse land, but filled with banana trees. There was a beautiful view from there, but there were also boars eating fruits there as well. Izaya decided to cloak himself, I was searching at the edge of the cliff for, another species of plant we're supposed to find, Kejora was close to Izaya and me, and Nyxara was with Bonk. Then, Izaya found the plants, but the bores noticed Kejora and Bonk. Bonk was headbutted by a boar, while I saw the boar that noticed Kejora headbutted god knows what but not Kejora. Bonk got angry and sliced that boar in half, while Kejora, Izaya and I killed the two boars nearby. After that battle ended, there was one more plant deeper in the trees, where all of the sudden a wave of wind flit through me and Kejora. All of the sudden a gigantic boar attacked us, and destroyed one of the plant. With the help of Bonk and Kejora, we were able to kill the big boar and we skinned it for resources as well.

Finally, we went to the next place to search for the final plant. Izaya, me, Bonk, and Kejora were hiding because we saw a camp. But god knows what Nyxara was doing and she went straight ahead to the camp, like the boar we previously fought. We saw a two druids talking to Nyxara, who was really bad at talking, tried to defuse the agression of the druids, but somehow were able to make them even angrier. To add the cherry on top, this idiot of a dragonborn decided to look at me dead in the eyes and shout "OH NO JERROD THEY HAVE FOUND US". facepalm idiot. But nonetheless, a fight broke out, Bonk, Nyxara and I were fighting the druids while Izaya and Kejora stealthily look for the plants. They found em and retrieved em, we killed the druids and job was done. Also while checking the camps, my ass got bitten by a damn snake, so I eldtrich blast the damn reptile. And so, we spent a few hours at the campfire, making waterskin and all. Then we went back to the crocodile infested river, where Bonk caught a live crocodile. I don't know how they did it but boy that was cool. We went back to Mr Magician's place, Izaya went in and gave the stuff he wanted, we got our rewards, and then we then decided to bring the croc back to the adventurer's guild.

What actually happened?
A group of Adventurers had taken a request from [The Fool's Masquerade] to gather a few Herbs that will be required in Dye making. They were informed of what the Herbs looks like, their usual grow locations and requirements as well as the extraction process. Izaya immediately wrote down in his own personal note to ensure the details were not missed.

Soon the Party left SouthWest to the first location where a river 20ft deep can be seen below, the first plant was found on some rocks in the water where it seems the river it self is Crocodile infested. It was a simple task of collecting the Herb, as some of the party had decided to kill one Crocodile out of what seems to be boredom..? Or just- safety? And once enough was gathered, they left for the 2nd Herb location.

Now the more densely grown forest seems to fulfill the requirement of the 2nd Herb, the party quickly goes to look around and scour the area for said Herbs. To avoid any animal or wilderness being spooked or perhaps charging, Izaya had decided to stealth and takes the careful process route.. soon an ambush began by Boars that charges at Bonk and Kejora, but quickly the Party took care of it swiftly.. before followed by another ambush by a larger Boar! It trampled on the Herb that Kejora and Jerrod was about to gather, which then soon died due to angry Bonk. . ... or at least that's what Izaya saw.

On the third location at the edge of a Cliff, a group of what seems to be plant lovers was against Nyxara's question or notion of gathering Herbs around. Izaya went to tippy toe his way away to look for Herbs as this happens seeing that there were a few more tents nearby. As Izaya was collecting Herbs, the party went into combat with the strangers as Bonk taking the final hits, killed both plant lovers tieflings [Druids]. Soon after the Party looted their tents and used their cooking wear to brew and extract some of the Herbs then and there. Leaving some raw ones to be kept and handed over later.

Returning back, Izaya stopped to ask if Bonk is able to aid him with a favor. As a show of goodwill, he offers to share his prized wine. With the Party overhearing, they offer to help as well to... CATCH A CROCODILE!! YEAH!! WE CAUGHT A CROCODILE!! MANCING MANIA?? WHAT'S THAT?? CROCODILE MANIA!! YEAH!!

And then the Party head back to give in the requested items as well as handing over the CROCODILE (YEAH!!) to the Adventurer's Guild's Monster section.

'The current of the ocean's wave seems more tranquil than what i had expected... perhaps to float here a bit longer is a welcomed one..'

What actually happened?

We went to this magician's shop; it has a lot of stuff for sale there too, by the way. The owner wanted our help to extract some herbs for him to use as dye for his mask creation. so we go and helped him out. He also loaned us some useful items for this quest. He also sells these very cute crocodile toys too, huh? Maybe someday I will buy it for Obiana.
Well, I didn't listen to the details of the quest. I let the others handle that stuff, and they put me in charge of bringing the copper pots.

Later on, we went to the Southwest of Dawnport and arrived at the first location, which is a river. I was told we were finding the first plant whin on some rocks inside the water. I helped them out with freezing the flowing river. To our surprise, the river was full of crocodiles, which were actually cute. Here I thought I could play a little bit more, but Jarrod decided to kill it out of boredom. Dang it, The Croc was cute when it tried to climb up the hills... Oh well. Izaya was the one who found and grabbed every plant and put it on his waterskin and found a total of 3. With that, we continued to the next location.

The next stop was the forest, which had a lot of Banana Trees around. We split ourselves in order to find the second plant. I went with Bonk at that time, and Bonk actually managed to find one, but then a wild Boar rushed towards him with full force, headbutting him and making Bonk prone on the spot. So I helped him out, killing the boar. Little did I know the other group on the other side was also having the same problem. Kejora and Jarrod were handling one as well, but Izaya managed to kill one boar alone, pretty cool, I must say. They all managed to handle the boar themselves. Izaya and Kejora found the last two of the second plants, but we got a surprise attack by a giant boar. It stepped on the last plant! All of us got angry and killed the Giant Boar! Then all of them except me harvested the dead boar. Meh, after the quest with Sesk, the boar doesn't really interest me enough. After all of that, we went to the next Location.

The next location was a cliffside, where the last plant is located. When we arrived there, we saw a camp. I don't know why the party went into hiding. I just went straight on there and met two druids. Well, that's what Kejora said. We talked a bit, I thought i could ask for help from them. Somehow, I don't think I said anything offensive, but they immediately went hostile towards me. But also, they surprisingly have good eyes; they can see Jarrod hiding behind the trees. I guess Jarrod is bad at hiding. Tsk tsk tsk. Bonk kill one of them, I tried to talk again with the other one, well more to threatening, but failed, so I decided to kill them. Don't blame me, I gave them mercy, they chose death. Izaya on the other hand, was actually grabbing the rest of the plant with Kejora? Meh, I'm too tired to think at that point and just help with whatever I can. Later we check each tent. Izaya found some scrolls. Jarrod got bitten by Snake. I sneeze away a tent, UNINTENTIONALLY. Then the party decided to try and extract atleast 2 herbs and turn to dye for research, I believe? We seccesfully doing so and we went back.

As we went back to Dawnport, Izaya wanted to stop by the River again. He pulled out the boar he harvested in the forest and ask Bonk to use as bait. Kejora let Bonk Borrowed her pole. AND WALAH! BONK MANAGED TO PULL A BIG CROCODILE ALIVE. We tied it up, and bring it with us. Izaya brought the plants and dye to the Magician and brought back the rewards to us. After that we brought back the Crocodile to the guild for harvesting reason. And That's end the quest.
